Summary
“You should know you’re not the only one who’s been staring, darling.”
Shadowheart’s eyes snapped to Astarion’s waiting smirk, her scowl forming in less than a heartbeat. “What in the hells are you talking about?” she demanded, despite unfortunately having a pretty good idea of the subject already. At least Astarion had the decency to approach her when she was by herself.
“Please. You’re very perceptive. You must have noticed the lovestruck eyes Gale keeps making at our fearless leader when he thinks no one is looking. Or the — shall we say, intense way Lae’zel stares at them after hard won battles. Even our dear Blade of Frontiers seems quite smitten as of late—”
“And all that concerns me, how?”
“Don’t be coy, dear. It’s an awful look on you.” Astarion’s eyes were practically sparkling.
“And why, do tell, are you so interested in this matter?”
His smile somehow widened even more as he proclaimed, “Oh, the drama entertains me greatly.”
(Or: a Shadowheart character study that goes through all three Acts, and how a campaign could look like if Larian had let me make my Tav a Harper from the beginning.)

Summary
It all happened so fast. One moment the adventurers and other collected persons were in the forest, saying goodbye and fuck you to their mother, and then the world was blurring past them, and the only thing she could focus on was her sister’s hand in hers. She heard the others apologizing to each other and hugging each other and looking at the world below, but Aelwyn was stuck staring at the lines in Cassandra’s palm. Both hands were soft but incredibly foreign, each in their own way. Most of them were crying, so she didn’t have to feel out of place any more than she already did for her choked sobs.
Cassandra deposited the group at the edge of Arborly, a place Aelwyn knew, but with a reception she did not.
Gnomes cheered for their arrival, Cassandra was congratulating them for achieving their goal after all they faced, and it didn’t slow down there. They piled into the van and kept moving.
Moving to Leviathan, where Aelwyn was called “luvvy” for the first time.
From Leviathan into a portal, where Arthur Aguefort promised to help her secure a general amnesty.
Out of the portal to Elmville. To Mordred Manor.

Summary
She didn’t think Makoto was the kind of girl to be into roses and flower language, sure, because she’s just so proper and ladylike all the time (except for as Queen— ironically enough). But the enthused way she explains is just so fitting. She gets this bright cadence to her voice that reminds Ann of lilies or sunflowers and is so different from her usual stern, commanding alto.
“You’re actually really cute,” Ann says, watching the way Makoto turns the ring over in her hands.
… which is evidently the absolute wrong thing to say, because Makoto looks like she’s just been shot.

Summary
The Shadow Invasion left wounds across both Hyrule and the Twilight Realm, and neither Zelda nor Midna are eager to face the task of binding them up. Old prejudices and weaknesses are laid bare, and the idea is posed of reuniting the two realms to prosper together. Is their plan a folly born of desperation, or the most revolutionary undertaking either kingdom has seen in centuries?
