    Summary

    This is Aylin and Isobel's story, though there will be a little crossover with Shadowheart Begins. The work is mostly how Aylin and Isobel met and lived prior to BG3 but will catch up to game events.

    * * *
    When Isobel hears the sharp tap at her door, she confusedly goes to her bedroom door before realising, the sound is coming from the door that opens onto the balcony.

    She opens the door in her dressing gown, wiping her eyes, not comprehending in her tiredness what a visitor on the balcony means.

    She gasps at the sight of Aylin, her helmet cradled under one arm, her wings tucked behind her shoulders, moonlight glinting off her silver and blue armour. Her striking, gold-lined face is filled with concern to see Isobel in tears.

    “Aylin!” Isobel cries, rushing into the aasimar’s arms without thought. “Oh, I missed you!”

    Aylin’s helmet crashes to the floor as she opens her arms to welcome Isobel into her embrace at long last, feeling the shape of her snug against her armour.

    “My darling Isobel,” Aylin says, her voice filled with emotion that softens her warrior’s voice. “Are you unwell? Are you hurt?”

    Summary

    The woman cants a curious head and has the audacity to grin, “Funny way of saying thank you.”

    “I’ll give no thanks to a Selûnite!”

    “Ah,” The woman taps the side of her nose and nods to some silent thing not spoken, “you picked up on that quickly. Congrats to your dark mistress for raising such a gifted war dog.”

    Summary

    This work is a spin-off of Shadowheart Begins and answers the question: what if Shadowheart had killed Nightsong and her parents? Readers of Shadowheart Begins should have read up to chapter 10 first to avoid spoilers and have all the context.

    Synopsis:
    Twenty years after the events of the defeat of the netherbrain, Florwyn finds out that the Sharran church in Baldur's Gate is to be declared a terrorist organisation and a bounty placed on the head of her old flame, Mother Superior Shadowheart. She cannot turn down one last, very final chance, to try and bring her old friend back to the light. Mainly Florwyn POV.

    * * * * * *
    “Why am I here? I need to get back to the cloister.”

    Florwyn’s heart sinks. She had hoped the Harpers would have already told her …

    “Come on,” Shadowheart says impatiently. “Where’s that famed always telling the truth you were just talking about?”

    Florwyn does not meet her eye. “It’s a last chance,” she says finally.

    “Last chance … for what?” she says, narrowing her eyes ...

    Summary

    “So you’ve never been in love?” Florwyn asks, wide-eyed.

    Shadowheart swats this aside. “Love, the grand delusion,” she scoffs. “Of course not.”

    “You’ve never – held someone’s hand, and felt sparks fly?”

    Shadowheart is about to deny it when she has a sudden remembrance of taking Florwyn’s hands earlier to remove the pain from her sorcery. The swooping sensation in her stomach returns in an uncomfortable crescendo at that very moment, sending heat tingling through her body. She takes a deep breath, trying to empty herself of emotion.

    “No,” she says blandly. I must not get attached ...

    ***
    This story starts pre-game and soon finds Tav and romance. Shadowheart gradually learns about love, and to love, over the course of the story. We are aiming for peak healing. FINISHED.
