    Summary

    The rune spits Jayce out on hard rock. It’s dry and dusty under his hands and when he blinks awake, face-down, clothing soaked, alive against all odds, he actually can’t draw a breath. A drop of water hits his face. And then another. It’s raining, and he doesn’t know where he is, but he’s back in the fissure, he’s certain of it. A cruel ending for a wasted life. Jayce Talis, the Man of Progress, who thought at every turn he had the right idea, and failed in every way that ever mattered.

    -

    Thrown across the continent, but painfully alive, Jayce struggles to keep Viktor from falling into mental ruin, and himself from keeling over. He can still hold a hammer, so he does what he's always done: cling to hope, however foolish it may be.

    Summary


    “Started after Redcliffe, didn’t it?”

    He goes still, something in his chest pulling tightly at the name. Dorian sighs knowingly, tiredly, and Maxwell now sees the dark circles under the mage’s eyes, the worry lines creasing his face. He hasn't been dealing well with what happened in Redcliffe, either.

    "I try not to let most things get to me, or at least I pretend not to. But that future we saw, that's not something one easily forgets."

    ---

    This fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone.
    Echoes of a city that's long overgrown.
    Your heart is the only place that I call home.
    Can I be returned?

    Summary

    Ketheric Thorm and Moonrise Towers have been defeated. On the morrow, Wyll, Astarion, and the others will make for Baldur's Gate to face the other Chosen of the Dead Three and the Elder Brain they command.

    While the Harpers and tieflings celebrate, Wyll thinks of his father and all the ways he is not, has never been, good enough. Astarion stumbles his way through sincerity.

    And the sun rises on these once-cursed lands for the first time in a hundred years.

    Summary

    Nearly three decades of living, breathing, fighting, yearning and screaming (always screaming), and Wyll can count the number of people he's loved on one hand.
