Summary
The Bardweave Trilogy is a semi-canonical, story-driven, angsty, slow-build-to-the-smut, romance with healthy doses of comedy and ensemble dynamics. PoV is half and half between Tav and Gale, with flashbacks, as well as lots of attention paid to non-ship characters and their interconnecting dynamics. Check the dang tags. <3
Some favorites from the comments:
- "You’ve captured their voices and mannerisms so well; even though it’s a story I know, it’s told from a fresh perspective."
- "Gale was my first romance and this is bringing me right back to the magic of that first playthrough."
- "The interwoven stories of Tav's revenge and Gale's love and loss is haunting and intriguing. And the romance is superb."
- "I laughed. And I cried, a lot. You are such a visceral writer, it's like you're just listening into their dialogue and inner thoughts and simply conveying it, it feels so incredibly REAL."
- "And now emotionally destroyed. Roll a D6 for emotional damage."
- "My heart has now not only been broken… but crushed into dust. And blown away into the Fugue Plane."
- "This series is gonna hold a special place in my heart. Beautifully done, 10/10, chefs kiss"Series

Summary
THE SHADOWS is the second part of my semi-canonical trilogy. It's story-driven, romantic, eventually-smutty, and angsty, with healthy doses of comedy and silly camp dynamics mixed in. POV is half and half between Tav and Gale, with flashbacks, as well as narrative attention paid to non-ship characters and their interconnecting dynamics. check the dang tags! <3
Some favorites from the comments:
- "Really shows the horror of what they're facing, and just how tempting it is to use the tadpoles"
- "SO good, absolutely brilliant rollercoaster of emotions"
- "The smut oh man the smut, that was incredible, so hot and charming and so very them."
- "Love how you've written Karlach and Shadowheart's relationship, and the parallels between Karlach and Gale."
- "Filthy and wholesome at the same time. I just loved their banter and how they could still be silly in the heat of the moment."
- "You are illegally good at writing, this was incredible and I'm starting to think you made some kind of bargain with a hag to obtain such amazing skills."
- "You have captured the characters' tones and dynamics so perfectly. This is a feast and yet I'm hungry for more!"Series
