    Summary

    “If your halfling continues to distract you during conversation he will regret it."

    Orym ducked his head, but did not speak. He was expected to be silent unless directly invited to talk. Dorian ran a hand through Orym’s hair—an apology, a nervous fidget, he wasn’t sure—and replied in his stead. “Of course, it won’t happen again.”
    ____

    Chasing a lead, Dorian returns to the Silken Squall, bringing Orym along under the guise of his consort. While Dorian grapples with his identity and Orym tries to keep him grounded, what else but romance could blossom between the two?

    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Summary

    It starts like this: Essek, in a fit of lonely idiocy, agrees to partake in a honeypot scheme with the Mighty Nein. It goes about as smoothly as he should have expected.

    It evolves to this: by decree of Deirta Thelyss, Verin is tasked with protecting his brother and his brother’s friends(??) as they parlay with the Children of Malice over the diplomatic incident they caused. Verin remembers his brother being much more of an aloof douche and much less of a floating disaster.

    Or: In a reality where the Mighty Nein do a stop in Xhorhas prior to meeting up with DeRogna, Essek agrees to help with one side quest and ends up with a lover, a brother, and a fight with a god.
