She recognizes Vlad right away- the man from her repetitive dreams, the reason she knows her craft to begin with.
Who does that make Mina?

Summary
Basically, Tav unofficially adopts Mol the second she lays eyes on her. POV Astarion, because I think he’s a funny narrator.
***
Tav was staring at the direction of that little cave fort they’d found their stolen goods in. “Sorry, Wyll. Just- nobody seems to be paying Mol much attention.”“Oh, has a wee orphan been neglected? I’m clutching my pearls,” Astarion said cuttingly. She leveled a glare at him.
“There are other adults around, you know. And clearly she’s traveling with them. But she seems to have a pretty solid distrust of authority. How did she earn it, I wonder? It’s not a safe journey from here to Baldur’s gate. She needs people looking out for her.”
“Volunteering for the job, are you?”
She pursed her lips and said nothing.

Summary
“I- need a date. Which is to say… you. If you’ll agree.”
Neve’s eyebrows rose. “You mean that Lucanis has invited you out dancing. And you want to bring me along? To what, third wheel the whole time?”
“It was addressed to the Savior of Treviso,” Rook said tightly, unable to forget, even over a year later, how she hadn’t been able to save Minrathous in the same way. “And sent from ‘The First Talon’. Neither of our actual names were even on the invite. Please, Neve, it was- it was the least personalized thing I’ve ever read, like some secretary wrote it. And I just… I can’t.”
***
A year after saving the world, Rook receives an invitation to the Antivan Crow’s Gala of the Feathers.Featuring Detective Neve, the only woman who actually has a clear idea of what’s going on, and a Rook and Lucanis who have both taken away very different translations of the same memory.

Summary
“Rook had always liked it when things had a bit of a bite. She couldn’t seem to resist finding sharp edges and testing them; it was part of what made her so good at her job, and so irritating to her superiors.
It translated in weird ways to her love life. She already knew that; knew she tended to be fascinated by the tall, dark, and deadly.
Still… as Lucanis’s eyes burned with a hellfire glow and he spun through combat on inhuman wings, she wondered if her current fascination might be taking it a bit too far.”
Just finished my first play through! This is a dual POV mix of scenes from the game with added flare and content as well as scenes I felt were missing, character development wise.

Summary
“Sorry, Robs. Coming!” He turned back to Eddie, tapped his fingers in a little drumroll across the sticky note. “Call anytime after five. Thanks so much!”
Steve followed the woman out. She started towards a sleek, cherry-red streetbike and hopped on. After sliding a helmet over that tousled hair, Steve climbed on behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Of course. Hot man has a hot biker girlfriend. Naturally.
***
So, I saw a clip on instagram of Brennan Lee Mulligan joking about an unfairly good looking guy who visited his local game store and got picked up by his beautiful motorcycle-riding girlfriend, and I thought- aha! Eddie, Steve, and Robin. And now here we are.

Summary
Steve's mind is carefully blank. It has been from the moment his father walked him to one of the castle’s balconies, the one that oversaw his home kingdom in its entirety, and said the word betrothal. He had suppressed every single thing, every emotion and feeling and conviction that had risen inside of him that very moment, and has continued to suppress them, and he will continue well after he is officially wed tonight—most likely until he takes his final breath.
He had known for a while now that this would be his fate. He wishes knowing had made it any easier.
From childhood, Prince Stephen of the Northlands has been a disappointment. When his parents forged a new alliance with the Southlands, he did not expect his own hand to factor into the treaty. Yet on the dawn of his twentieth birthday he finds himself being carted off to the capital of the Southlands to marry their infamous bloody-handed warrior, Prince Kas.
Prince Kas’ reputation precedes him. But upon his arrival Steve quickly realizes that the Southlands aren’t all that they seem to be, and neither is his betrothed.

Summary
In Emmrich’s experience, people (and spirits) came in many varieties. But fundamentally, there were only two that mattered: those who could be trusted to borrow a book and return it in pristine condition…
…and those like Rook.
(A series of vignettes about finding love in the margins with the help of books, a pig, some flowers, a harpsichord, and a couple of rhyming teacups.)

Summary
Bellara stares wide-eyed at Rook. “So, they call you the cuckoo because…”
“Oh, I didn’t kill anyone!” Rook amends, then laughs at herself. “No, not true, I absolutely did. But not other Crows. No, cuckoo’s just a good nickname.”
~
Rook's never really belonged in the Crows. Does the end of the world care about belonging? Not really.
