Summary
If anyone had told Karlach she would struggle to acclimate to the real world after being in hell so long, she would have laughed at them.
The bodies she left behind told a different story.
Now, if anybody had told her that the path that led her down involved saving a drow from multiple dark gods piece by piece and inch by inch, that she would have believed. That’s the kind of story she wanted to be known for. That’s the kind of life she wanted to live.
Aka the story where Karlach makes some mistakes and vows to do better, Shadowheart and Lae’zel bond over their shared disdain, Astarion just wants to feel safe, and Minthara slowly realizes it’s ok to let people in.
Very, very slowly.

Summary
“Why does your blood smell so strange?”
The question startled Gale, who looked up from where he sat cross-legged in front of his tent, organizing his scrolls in preparation for their upcoming “visit” to the goblin camp. He’d given Astarion a wide berth since the revelation of his vampiric condition a few days earlier, so he was surprised to see the pale elf looming over him now, a peculiar expression on his face.
“You know,” Gale offered with a smile, “in my extensive journeys across manifold realms, I do believe that is not a question that I’ve ever been asked before. I honestly can’t decide whether or not I should be offended.”
-
Of the many side effects Gale has faced as a result of his whole “being physical host to an imminently destructive magical orb” problem, he somehow never anticipated his blood now apparently smelling irresistible to vampires (or at least, one particular vampire) to be one of them.

Summary
The Force is tired of being silent. For too long, its song has gone unheard, its warnings unheeded, and its favorite children have suffered for it. When one of said children dies and his soul passes through the veil that separates the Force from the world of the living, well, it sees an opportunity to make things right.
Armed with Force-given knowledge of the universe, as well as his own memories, Obi-Wan is sent back into the body of his thirteen year old self. He has a lot of decisions to make, and no idea whether they will be the right ones. Force preserve him.Series

Summary
The galaxy is a step away from war when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padme Amidala find a clone army.
That's where it starts, with convenient wording in a contract, a broken sith spell, and a desperate attempt to turn their tragedies into a story that could catch the hearts of a galaxy.
-_-
“Now sit still,” he told them all as he leaned forward. “And I’ll tell you the story of the Soldier, the Queen, and the Hunter.”
