Summary
Simon "Ghost" Riley was torture for Soap. Beautiful, sharp-jawed, devastatingly handsome-and completely uninterested.
Soap knew that. He really did. So when a break rolls around and his favorite band comes to town, running into an ex seems like the perfect distraction. A way to get Simon Riley out of his head for good.
What he doesn’t realize?
The devil on his shoulder is never far behind.

“Then don’t waste it on someone trying to mark you like a prize,” Simon said, his voice a growl now, teeth scraping along the shell of Soap’s ear. “Let me show you the difference between getting touched and being wanted.”
Soap let out a low, broken sound, already half gone.

Summary
Lolth-sworn Nym is on the run. Not the time to get kidnapped by talking squids. Unfortunately, now he has a tadpole in his head and a bunch of "allies" each less trustworthy than the next. But he will make do.
Astarion watches Nym with amusement.
“What,” Nym says.
“Nothing, it’s only the first thing you’ve told me about yourself. If I'd known all I had to do was sleep with you…”
Nym frowns. “Well, that’s not true. You know I’m from Menzoberranzan.”
“Oh, pardon. Such crucial information indeed. You’re a sorcerer from Menzoberranzan and you like pretty colours. I feel like I’ve known you forever."This is comedic in tone but deals with fucked-up people and their badly conceiled emotional bagage. It's chilli-spiced chocolate. Diverges from in-game romance. Gets darker as you go.
