Summary
Regardless of whatever writhes in her skull, this is a gift. It must be.
All cannot be lost.
Four tieflings survive a nautiloid crash that will come to be infamous across the Heartlands, scattered across a beach. When they come together, their primary goal is to survive their so-called ocular occupants—but as their journey takes them into ever deeper dark, it becomes increasingly apparent that their lives have been intertwined for far longer than the illithid ship's ill-fated voyage.
The battle to make it to Baldur's Gate will see hearts scarred and mended; minds excavated; shadows drawn to the fore, whether for better or worse. In time, they must ask and answer: what power is worth chasing? Which things are worth having, and which are better off lost?

Summary
Valas realizes somewhere between strikes, his blade fast, his hands red, life spilled warm across his feet—he’s curious. He hasn’t felt curious, not for ages, not like this.
He’s killed for others before, of course, so many times. For coin, or for practice. For pleasure. It’s often boring, the reasons one might hire the services of a murder god’s cleric: Removal of a threat. Enacting revenge. Indulging envy, or rage, for those held back by coward’s hands. The first few targets for this man, the one he’s killing for tonight, had fit that first neat category. The next few, though, cried for Bane as they died, and begged forgiveness for their failures. The ones after that, Valas hadn’t been able discern a reason for at all, no matter how much he questioned them, snapped their fingers and drove his blades into their sweet, soft places.
He doesn’t understand this Enver Gortash. He’d like to.
Valas’s first impressions of Gortash.

Summary
When Castilla von Valancius disappears somewhere in the Atlas Reach star system, Calligos Winterscale's world is split into before and after. Before she vanishes, in the months after her Magnae Accessio, she breaks the bounds of the possible and captures his interest, his curiosity.
After she is reported missing, Calligos realizes she claimed so much more of him than that—and he will tear the Koronus Expanse apart to recover what he has lost.
(Dual timeline means double the yearning and double the angst, right?)

Summary
As I was making my way through the front doors of the opera house, I collided with a young man who was making his way out. He was ever so apologetic, and chastised himself for his clumsiness. I assured him that I was alright, and he said he was relieved to hear it. Then he bowed deeply and said, “Enver Gortash, at your service…”
Excerpts from the diary of Lady Wisteria Jannath. Based on the "Perfumed Days, Passionate Nights" letter.

Summary
In the bowels of the infamous Dark City, lines are crossed, and boundaries redrawn. Dragged through the veil of death and back again too many times to count, Heinrix and Heliora must face themselves in new, grim light if they wish to have any hope of escape. All that once was, all they could have ever been—what jagged pieces of their own fractured minds will they salvage from this ruin of their own making?
And what happens if all those pieces have been irreparably split apart?
(How many AUs can I cram into the Drukhari Torture Poison Cocktail™? It's more than two.)

Summary
“My dear Bhaalspawn,” Gortash says, sitting back down at his side. He crosses one leg over the other, leaning closer than before. “What’s wrong with taking something simply because you want it?”
Valas can’t help but look, twisting toward him with the smallest turn.
When Valas confesses the name of the person he most longs to kill, Gortash has a plan. For what is this new alliance for, if not working together to achieve their great desires?
But it’s not that simple, for one raised by Bhaal, to admit just who or what he wants. And it’s even less simple to take it.

Summary
Weeks after meeting Calligos Winterscale, man carved from myth, at her Magnae Accessio, Castilla von Valancius lies idle en route to the Atlas Reach. When she receives a data cache full of details of her rival's trips to Solace Encarmine—each of them suspiciously aligned with their recent private communications—she should delete every volume, scour this entire night from her brain, her bed, her life.
Instead, she scrolls down.

Summary
The Dark Urge thrashed, and chewed vainly on the golden scales of Gortash's fingers.
"Feisty little creature." Gortash was amused at its expense, and the Dark Urge screeched its one and final warning. "Oh, what a scary expression. You remind me of a late friend of mine."

After Orin's betrayal, the Dark Urge grows a new lizard body from a chunk of flesh.

Summary
It’s been just a minute, maybe a little more, when Valas grabs Enver’s hands and plunges them into the boy’s open chest, folding his fingers carefully around the struggling heart. Its movement is small and slight, nothing like the racing pulse of his own, but it’s there, he can feel it, a whole tenuous life entirely at his mercy. He feels Valas’s lips brush across his cheek in a quick kiss.
A little murder for breakfast.

Summary
“Let me just—” Thanatos takes a breath. One of his hands, the armored one, grips the handle of his sword. The sound of the armor against the metal of the sword cuts through his words, as though to emphasize them. “Let me just work through this, and perhaps you may help me fill in the blanks. But you’re an Olympic god, you dwell in utter ease in Zeus’s domain, drinking ambrosia all day and doing little else. And one day you realize you can die. And so it becomes a game to you. Meanwhile, I am dragged from my important work to take your soul to the Underworld, which I cannot do because you cannot stay dead, disrupting my duties for the day, and now you want me to drink ambrosia with you. Do I have this right so far?”
Zagreus, a perpetually bored Olympic god, finds some entertainment in dying again and again when he learns that the mysterious Thanatos is always summoned to collect his uncollectable soul.

Summary
Behind him, footsteps. And a voice says, “You’re the shoemaker?”
There is a moment where Patroclus only has the impression of gold—golden curls resting against broad tanned shoulders and a gold circlet hidden in his hair—before separate features emerge to create the image of a prince, finely albeit simply dressed in a white shirt tucked into a pair of dark blue pants.
“The shoemaker’s apprentice,” Patroclus corrects him gently. He bows just a little. Green eyes watch as he does. “I’m here to take some measurements. For your new—” His eyes fall on the prince’s feet and the words die in his throat. He’s wearing a heavy wooden shoe on his left foot and a cloth slipper on the other. Patroclus tries to take it in stride but finds himself looking questioningly at the prince.
“You are curious about my shoe,” the prince says. His voice is perfectly steady, unreadable.
In the tiny kingdom of Phthia, a golden prince is cursed with invulnerability except for a vulnerable heel. An exile apprenticed to a shoemaker is commissioned by the palace to create a shoe the prince can fight in.
A fairy tale about a curse, a magical shoe, a war, a doomed hero, an exile, destiny, and love despite everything.

For Day Three of Gortash Week 2024: Battle/Party
“Perhaps,” he says under his voice, “I may call on you later this evening?”

Lady Wisteria Jannath entertains the attentions of a young man she met at the Counting House, and changes both of their lives forever.
