Summary
Leon Kennedy was no longer a private citizen, but government property. A tool, being sharpened and trained to undergo only the most dangerous and important missions.
The program would take years to mold him, and he had no way out but forward.
(OR: Leon has a rough transition into military training with Krauser. The training is hard enough, but he also has to deal with the stress of being blackmailed, let alone his crippling survivor's guilt. How long can he carry it all?)

The Last Will and Testament of Cazador Szarr by AbigailMoment

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

Summary
He isn’t sure why he ever thought this would work. Why they would work. (Why Jayce coming back meant anything. Why Jayce staying with him meant anything. Why Jayce meant anything.) Feelings fix nothing. Affection fixes nothing. Perhaps in another life, with another Viktor. But not this one. And not this Jayce. They may have fixed the timeline, but that doesn’t fix them.
He’s too far gone now. He has done too much, and Jayce too little. The salvation of Piltover was predicated upon his own death, over and over. All of which Jayce laid claim to, whether Viktor wanted him to or not.Bookmarked by tornpages

Summary
“That Orb in your chest,” Elminster says finally, voice so thick with purpose that Gale snaps out of his self-deprecation. For the first time in months, his mind feels capable of focus. “Is made of Karsite Weave. Mystra will not help because it is a danger to her very existence.”
“I… didn’t know. I swear! I swear I had no idea, Elminster, you have to tell her! I thought – I was told – it was a part of her. I would never–”
Elminster raises a hand.
“Peace. Do not worry about that now, my boy, and listen to me. In Baldur’s Gate there is a wizard by the name of Lorroakan. Some years ago, he came into possession of a book called The Annals of Karsus. In it, Karsus writes about what he refers to as the Regalia of Karsus – a Crown, a Sceptre and an Orb.”or; Gale travels to Baldur's Gate early, runs into a Hag and gets turned into a cat

Handle With Care by Iztarshi (khilari)

Summary
Magic happens anywhere, to anyone, without rhyme or reason. Far more likely to happen with rhyme than with reason, in fact. Most magic items aren’t really valuable, though. A top from a Christmas cracker that can spin forever, a coin that always lands on heads. Tiny, everyday miracles. Spells are even worse, happening in an instant and then over, completely impossible to replicate in a lab.
This doesn't stop Jayce from studying magic, and the artifacts at least are left with magical abilities that remain consistent. So when a man turns up offering to donate an unusually valuable one Jayce is keen. Only the man is donating himself, a living doll, with a sharp intelligence potentially more valuable as a partner in Jayce's studies than as an object to be studied himself.

Summary
Six years after he and Viktor part ways on antagonistic terms, Jayce wakes up in the Machine Herald’s medical clinic.
Jayce desperately wants to rub at his forehead, but the binding at his wrist stops him. He settles for squeezing his eyes shut. “Why?” he asks.
Viktor is silent for barely a moment. He says, tonelessly, “I assumed this was preferable to dying.”

Summary
A sequel to isolation.
Jayce gets Viktor out of Piltover, and nothing is as easy as it should be.
“I feel as if I’m not quite myself,” Viktor says.
Jayce is quiet, and the silence stretches between them. When Jayce finally speaks, he says, “I don’t feel like myself either.”
Viktor meets his eyes. It’s a marvel, he thinks, that even when he is most lost to his own mind, Jayce can still follow.

Summary
Viktor is visited by a future version of Jayce, fresh from a world overtaken by the Arcane. And then it happens again. And again. And again.
(originally meant to be a crack fic poking fun at the prevalence of the s1!Viktor and s2!Jayce trope, but then I decided to place Viktor lovingly into the torment nexus and shake him like he's a cobb salad I bought from the supermarket deli)

Mel takes a deep breath. “I don’t think you understand how precarious his situation is right now. He is the most hated man in Piltover. Most do not want to see him recovered; they want to see him hanged.”

Summary
Wyll was a monster hunter. Astarion knew this on a logical level, of course. Hells, Wyll had practically introduced himself that way. But it was quite another thing to see Wyll put the puzzle pieces together.
And gods, Astarion had no earthly idea of what he was to do, if Wyll decided to divulge what he had learned.

Summary
On the anniversary of his exile from Mystra's Chosen, Gale finds a stranger half-frozen at the steps of his isolated tower. Perhaps it would be nice to have a spot of company.
Weeks from Baldur’s Gate and the confinement of Cazador's mansion, runaway Astarion is saved from a winter's storm by a strange, sickly wizard. A fresh meal, ripe for the taking. Perhaps he would be forced to reconsider his stance on miracles.

Summary
There was a problem with Astarion.
Well, in all likelihood, there were quite a few problems with Astarion.
He was abrasive and flippant and self-serving, and Gale was in no doubt that his quick fingers were skimming at least a little out of whatever chests Tav had him picking.
Oh, and there was the fact that he was a vampire. Yes, there was that little detail.
Or, Astarion getting outed by the shadow-cursed lands.

Summary
"So here he is, he thinks with dark, nauseating humor. One of the glorious heroes of Baldur’s Gate—hungover and lightly crisped, sprawled on his back in the one place he had wanted more than anything in the world to leave behind forever—
The great Szarr palace. Home sweet home."
--
The villains are defeated. The heroes claim their victory. Astarion sinks down to exactly where he started. Gale plots his apotheosis. Somehow, they meet in the middle.

Summary
(The end is never the end. There's too much blood on too many hands and too many unhappy endings. Six years is a long wait for a grieving mother and a damning curse. It's time for more desperate measures. Perhaps resourcing one of the counselors - as she had watched so many do before - will prove benign. Looks like it's time to save the sole survivor.)
Dylan wakes up in a blind panic, kicking out and falling backward off of the log bench he's sitting on. Maybe it's a bit dramatic, but in his defense, he was just being pinned down in the kitchen, about to get his throat torn out by a goddamn werewolf. Sue him for startling.

Summary
“I don’t know man,” Diego says, frustrated. “I’m not a doctor, or a space-jumping expert. All I know is that he pushed himself too far, but he said he was fine- or would be fine with some time and rest.”
Five frowns. Did he say that? He doesn’t recall that conversation. He’s not sure why he would say something like that to Diego, either. It doesn’t feel like he’s getting better in the slightest. If anything, he’s probably getting worse—“Then fucking say that!” Diego snaps loudly, startling Five. “For God’s sake, Five, I’m trying to help you over here! You think I’m having the time of my life sitting here and watching you like this?”
Or, Five takes a moment to catch his breath in 1963, and manages to lose it all over again in 2019. (Spoilers for Season 2— specifically, 2x10 and (speculatively) beyond)- Language:

It’s a familiar feeling, being lifted up by Luther and tossed around like he weighs nothing (to Luther he certainly does), it was a favorite move of Luther’s as a child. Nostalgia is not what Five feels, he’s too busy flailing as Luther throws him over the railing.

Peter’s to-do list is longer than he can remember. He’s got a test to study for, sleep to catch up on, an aunt to keep calm and unexplained feelings that appear around MJ. Thankfully it’s Saturday. He can play catch up. Unfortunately this is how Peter almost studies, angers a librarian, goes on a maybe date and accidentally takes a ballet class.
