Summary
Shar's wrath has not lessened over the past ten years, and in a trap set for both Shadowheart and her friends, they narrowly escape the complete obliteration of their souls. In an act of divine intervention, Selûne intervenes, but even her power is limited within her sister's domain. Weakened and gravely injured, they are shunted to safety within the last minute - to a world foreign to both them and their Gods.
----
What appeared on the surface to be a spell gone awry leaves a group of gravely injured adventurers on the floor of Essek and Caleb's laboratory. Unsure of both their origin and of their intentions, the Mighty Nein must decide what to do, as their tale becomes progressively more intertwined, and their situation more complex than any of them had anticipated.

Summary
"That's not what I—" A frustrated sigh escaped Astarion. "I was sort of thinking the opposite, my love," he clarified as his tone softened. "…I'd like to try again."
"Now?"
"Well… We have time now, don't we?" he remarked hesitantly, hand fidgeting with the bedsheets. "I… can't guarantee that it'll go smoothly, necessarily," he admitted, "it might be best to go slow. But when I said that I wanted it all, I meant it — I do. With you."

“But there is a new part of you that hath grown during thy travels. That part, Bhaal could not extinguish. And so, instead of destroying thee, he hath made thee anew.”

Summary
Before today, it had been just another bauble from a life he didn't remember, something to check on occasionally after combat to make sure he didn't lose it. But today, after last night’s revelation, it felt like a taunt. Like a branding, proclaiming his subservience to Bhaal. And even now, as he resisted it with all his might, keeping it on himself…
Somehow, it felt like bending the knee. Bowing the head to his dear father.

Summary
Zilvra couldn't quite comprehend what was happening. Trying to process her words and the gentle way they treated him was a task nearly too big for his child brain. Nobody had ever treated him like this, and without reason.
“There are other children who would love to meet you, too,” Emeran interjected gently. It made him hesitate.

Summary
Summer has arrived in Stardew Valley, bringing with it new crops—and new mysteries—for three former Zuzu City roommates. With her mentor Rasmodius's guidance, Trisha attempts to puzzle out her grandfather's grimoire and master her own burgeoning magic. Brandy delves deeper into the mine, honing her combat skills and learning to repair the damage caused by long neglect and rampaging monsters. Neel follows her down, more reluctantly; at least shooting down cave flies and monstrous bats is a distraction from the constant reminders of his brother's death and the war that led to it.
As Fall transforms the leaves to every shade of fire, the three find their relationships with certain members of the local community changing into something warmer, as well. Elliott receives good news for his writing career; who better to celebrate with than his story's inspiration? A demanding work and class schedule can't stop Abigail from finding more and more in common with her adventurous new neighbor. Sebastian takes on a new programming project from a client very close to home.
This is Part 2 of the Gifts of the Valley series, and may not make sense if you haven't read Part 1, Spring Seeds.

Summary
Roommates Trisha, Neel, and Brandy each have their own reasons to abandon the big city for the farm Trisha inherited from her grandfather. The valley seems like the answer to their prayers, but beneath the idyllic surface lie dangerous secrets.
Trisha loved her job as an analyst for Joja—until it began damaging her health. Farming looks like the perfect response to her doctor's prescription for more time outdoors. An eccentric writer adopts her as his muse, but is there more to his interest? And her life is weird enough without the local "wizard" claiming she is one, too.
Neel, reeling over his brother's death in the war, trades the mind-numbing routine of his old job for the physical exhaustion of farm work. A local programmer might be able to help him uncover the local JojaMart's shady secrets, if he can get past the other man's hostility.
Brandy is an adrenaline junkie, but when a stunt calls too much attention to her, she needs to lie low for a while. She expects to be bored out of her mind in quiet Pelican Town, but that was before she meets a kindred spirit obsessed with the mysterious, monster-infested mines.
Parts 1 and 2 are complete.
