Summary
“Link! You’re hurt!”
“I’m fine, Sid—”
“In the mouth of a demon dragon? Absolutely not, you were nearly crunched!” Sidon whirls around. “Quickly! Does somebody have a healing elixir for His Majesty?”
His Majesty.
His Majesty.
And that’s when Zelda realizes—it’s not her Sidon and the Royal Guard are addressing.
It’s Link.
___
Six months after the Upheaval, a weakened and dismayed Link appears in Zora's Domain.
With no sign of Zelda, Impa follows the wish of Hyrule's previous sovereign, and names him king.

Summary
The Warden’s jaw was tight with something barely concealed, not unlike fury, and her body was taut like a bowstring, arrow nocked, and he suddenly felt like the archery boss in front of her. Her aim was as true now as it always was, and it cut him deeply when she said, “Of course you don’t. You want to hide from it, like you hide from all your responsibility.” He felt his mouth part in surprise, and he could see a flash of something in her eyes, like she knew she’d gone too far and she regretted it, but she closed off again a heartbeat later, brows furrowed low and her eyes alight with the look of a soldier about to deliver the killing blow ─ but in the end, she couldn’t look at him, and she focused her scrutiny on the fire. “One of us has to face it.”
The Warden and Alistair discuss the aftermath of Morrigan's dark ritual, and the aftermath of becoming the Warden.

Summary
In the quiet after the Netherbrain’s fall, The Dark Urge turns from saving the city to salvaging what she can of herself. She razes her father’s bloody temple, buries a man who was more tyrant than lover, and tries to lay old ghosts to rest – Bhaalspawn, Chosen, and would‑be gods alike.
When Gale prepares to depart for Waterdeep, his hard‑won freedom from divine expectations throws Mirin’s own future into stark relief. Between promises of an open door, the pull of the open road, and the stubborn weight of a past steeped in murder and prophecy, Mirin has to decide what it means to live after surviving the gods’ designs.
Post‑game epilogue featuring Mirin, Gale, Astarion, and the others as they navigate grief, gentleness, and the terrifying possibility of an ordinary life.

Summary
Gale returns to Waterdeep, to the woman he barely knows but has been betrothed to for two decades, leaving behind a heartbroken Tav in Baldur's Gate.
----
The parchment is expensive. Tav runs her fingertips over the wax seal and hesitates; she knows what this is. She is not surprised that it is happening, she is, however, surprised at being included in some way. Perhaps, she allows herself, she had hoped it wouldn't be so soon. (She has already put to bed the part of herself that had hoped it would not happen at all.) Gale had, after all, been very clear - and devastatingly gentle - in his explanation.

Summary
"We'll debrief later." The words felt like ash in her mouth, her own voice foreign on her tongue. She had hoped to convey an ounce of her usual even-keeled bravado, but the hollowness threatening to seize her by the throat stripped all of the emotion out of her. It was evident in her tone. No one dared to call her out on it, though.
The silence that followed was thick, viscous in the way it settled around her shoulders. It clung to the inside of her chest like smoke.

Summary
Iruka has been part of Kakashi's life for so long that it's slowly become increasingly harder to imagine it without him there. And over the course of the decade plus of their friendship, Kakashi has come to appreciate more and more that Iruka's is such a steadfast and predictable presence, when everything else around him is anything but. If asked years ago, he would have said he could never figure out how to be friends with someone as kind-hearted as Iruka. He doesn't usually enjoy being wrong - but sometimes, it's nice.

Summary
"C'mon, really," Iruka says. "Everyone dreams of another life besides the one they've got. What if you weren't a shinobi?
The truth is that Kakashi has no clue. He's been a shinobi since he can remember, held his first weapon before his baby teeth had even started falling out, learned the most basic of field signs before he even spoke or took his first steps. It's not easy, to imagine anything outside of this. Fanciful notions of what if's aren't a thing he's ever found healthy. Questions that flit through his head when he's too alone with his thoughts, reflecting upon every mistake he feels he's ever made or witnessed, every opportunity to do different, to do better, to be better. Every chance that something might not have ended the way it did. What if is a plague. Not a dream.

Summary
“I don’t understand!” Astarion huffs, straightens, regains his composure. “You so obviously want me and here I am, offering myself to you,” he spreads his arms, gives a half sarcastic little bow, displaying the strong lines of his body beneath his fine clothes. “I am doing so entirely of my own free will. I am not trying to coerce you, or manipulate you, I am trying— Well, to seduce you, yes, but not for any untoward reasons! I want you. Can’t you trust that?”
“No.” You say.
