    Summary

    The invitation to the ball, however glittery, had clearly been out of politeness or obligation rather than any particular interest in Rolan as a wizard. Of course it had. Rolan should have guessed so from the start.

    Well, bollocks to this, and bollocks to the lot of them. Rolan doesn’t need to rub elbows and eat bad canapés to know he’s better at magic than half the people here. Fireballing the party might be concerned impolite, so if he takes the Blackstaff portal back to Baldur’s Gate now, he can be home in time for Lia to save him some dinner.

    He chugs the last of the flat wine, places his half-eaten pastry thing on Mordenkainen’s toe, and turns to leave. Which, of course, means he immediately walks into Gale Dekarios.

    Summary

    In the glorious, halcyon days of After Shroud - once the city is no longer a smoking wreck and the rubble has been more or less cleaned up - the corporate overlords of SDN do as they all inevitably must and hatch some bullshit plot to “shake things up.”

    Namely, granting the Torrance branch’s newest dispatcher a fancier title that does nothing to reduce his workload, support his team or do anything of use at all.

    After the “mandatory team discussion” turned bonding bitch-fest at Robert’s apartment, Courtney sticks around.

    They talk about it. And other things.

    And then they don’t do much talking at all.

    Summary

    Soulmates are little more than parasites. The only thing they share is pain through their bond. By all reason and common sense, Astarion should want his soulmate to die to spare himself that extra chunk of suffering, especially as Cazador grows only more possessive over Astarion having a bond with anyone else at all.

    All Astarion can think though is this is one thing Cazador hasn't been able to take from him.

    Summary

    In which two years before the events of the game, Wyll is hunting a devil, but he finds marks that a vampire passed through a village. It's only a short detour from his journey, so he might as well look into this, in case the vampire is a threat.

    And what he finds is the world's tiniest bat instead.
