    Summary

    Echo has lived her life tucked away in the forests of Tethir, learning magic through the pulse of nature and the songs of creation. She's good with magic, but not people, which isn't really a problem until she's scooped up by mind flayers and has to get along with six strangers lest they all share a tentacle-y doom. And she manages to get along with most of them -- but then there's Gale of Waterdeep. Despite a terrible first impression, she finds he is actually much kinder than all the mansplaining would suggest.

    This is a series of relationship scenes about my weird little mushroom hermit, a wizard who shows compassion and arrogance really can coexist, and how academic rivalry is like first base for wizards.

    Spoilers for the entire main plot and Gale's romance

    Summary

    “You look exhausted” he mumbles, not even trying to quip a joke, so it must be true. Eyes trained to where you are connected, the pads of his fingers grazing down your palms slowly and deliberately, a cooling blue magic, like creek water pooling in them, healing your cuts. “Can I help?” he asks, nonchalantly, as if it was nothing.

    Summary

    “Well,” he croons, “The fun doesn’t have to be entirely one-sided. Our time could very well be limited. You help me with my condition…and I could help you with yours.”

    “My condition?” she asks, her eyebrows now arched to maximum height.

    Astarion tilts his head. “Darling, it’s bad enough that we might burst into tentacles any day now. I would hate to see you die a virgin.”

    -

    Neve already had her hands full, what with trying to keep her companions from killing each other and pushing forward in the face of an uncertain fate. Then the vampire had to go and decide she was sweet enough to want to sink his teeth into.

    Another take on how things unfold post-bite.

    Summary

    Really, it was inevitable she was going to slip up at some point. When you’re travelling with a group of people who are psychically connected by mind-flayer tadpoles, somewhere along the line, someone is going to accidentally read someone’s mind.

    But did it have to be him? And did it have to be that?
