    Summary

    He’s already in the room, shutting the door behind himself as quietly as he can before he realises that not only is there someone other than Shane in the room, but there are three someones other than Shane.

    And, as if he hasn’t already fucked up spectacularly, the someones happen to be the Hollanders and Hayden fucking Pike.

     

    // or; Ilya visits Shane in the hospital and meets his parents. He's traumatized and grieving, everything hurts, and Shane takes after his mother.

    Summary

    “Game is over,” he says. “You won. I lost. I was annoying. Normal.”

    “That’s not—” Shane starts, then stops, because he actually doesn't know how to finish that thought without sounding like an idiot. His jaw works, teeth grinding together.

    That's not what I meant. That's not the point. You said I was boring and you were right and I need you to say it again so I know where I stand, so I know what you think of me, so I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    He settles for: “You were kind of an asshole.”

    Summary

    Ilya died, yes, but then the doctors saved him. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the ambulance, three electric shocks, two emergency surgeries, twenty-six units of blood. Ilya died, but then he came back.

    If only Shane could get his subconscious to understand that.

    Summary

    Astarion had come to the same conclusion that Kelyn himself was reaching now, once he’d had some time to recover, and think, and plan. There was still the slight matter of their tadpoles to deal with...but once that part was handled, he was well and truly free, after two centuries victim to a monster.

    It was everything he deserved. How could Kelyn bear to give him anything less?

    (Or: "Kelyn tries to break up with Astarion to protect him, and he's having none of it")

    Summary

    “Scratch’s very warm. An’ soft,” Tav informed the wizard, fear apparently forgotten for the moment. Gale smiled down at him, and Karlach could feel herself doing the same.

    “He is, isn’t he?”

    “I like it that he’s still breathing,” the boy informed them, making Karlach’s engine stutter in her chest.

    “Er. Yes, me too,” Gale managed stiffly.

    Bard!Durge touched something he shouldn't have in Ramazith's tower, and now the Tadfools have a six-year-old on their hands. One child-sized Bhaalspawn versus a party of experienced adventurers? Surely nothing can go wrong! Nobody in their group has childhood trauma or anything! Everything's fine!
