Summary
“You agree with this course of action, then?” Lae’zel asks Astarion.
Astarion laughs. It’s genuine; that’s happening absurdly frequently nowadays, and just as absurd is the fact that he’s getting less and less surprised each time it does. “This is the first fun little side mission Wyll’s ever made us go on. I’m delighted.”
Lae’zel makes a disapproving noise. “We shall see what the others say.” Which means she knows she’s already lost.
-
The mission? Infiltrate a masquerade ball to stop one of those pesky Bhaal murders. The chances of success? Much better if certain members of the party could remember they were ON A MISSION and keep their hands off each other.
Outfits! Intrigue! Astarion gets a night out with his boyfriend! Probably plot and adventure and maybe some angst, too.
(Used to be called "The Wickton Masquerade Ball" before I realized the title that was RIGHT THERE all along.)

Summary
“You know,” Gale says once the notes have faded into the air, “if you’re looking for a piano player, I just might be able to help.”
Astarion scoffs from the table without getting up. “I don’t think they need a Mage Hand, Gale.”
Gale turns away from the bar again and points at Astarion, like he’s just said something insightful instead of derisive. “Good call. Very useful for turning the pages.” Then he rolls up his sleeve and summons a Mage Hand in the same fluid, practiced gesture.
Astarion scoffs again. “You’re going to play?”
OR
I decided that Gale can play piano, and Astarion has to deal with all the ways that makes him feel.

Summary
Jedediah doesn’t know 100% of what happened while he was out, but he does know that he fell asleep against Octavius on the flight home, that Octavius has apparently spent a lot of time over the last few days stroking his hair while he slept, and that he can still feel the warmth in his palm from Octavius’ hand that first time he woke up. And neither doctor had seemed surprised—besides the initial shock of seeing Jedediah awake—to see him and Octavius holding hands and leaning in close while they talked; in fact, they hadn’t asked about it at all. Their new relationship seemed to be a given, like how the museum exhibits knew things about their historical lives and time periods despite never actually experiencing or living in them.
OR
Immediately following the events of "Sandfall," Jedediah and Octavius finally get to have an actual date. Obviously, it goes 100% as planned.

Summary
Octavius sets Jed down as quickly as possible without straight up throwing him to the ground and gets into position. He’s seen this exactly once in a movie he can’t remember the name of, and that victim had drowned in water, but surely the concept of clearing the airways and making oxygen circulate was the same here, and Octavius didn’t have any further ideas save for beating the life back into Jedediah with his helmet, which he couldn’t do because he’d lost it in the sand.
OR
Jedediah is a drama queen and Octavius loses his shit (a rewrite of the hourglass scene).

Summary
Gale takes in the sharp smile, the spark in his eyes. He’s not afraid or outraged. He’s not even particularly unsettled. This is a sort of sport for Astarion.
“But I’ve already had my breakfast today.” Gale cocks his head to the side. “You know, I was up late last night as well. I didn’t hear any rummaging through the camp supplies. But I did hear someone shuffle out of their tent and return an hour later.”
“Mm, how odd,” Astarion hums, playing his fingers against the right side of the blade. “Maybe our gith friend got homesick and wanted to give her family a wave.”
“Careful, Astarion,” Gale drops his voice lower, quieter. “I do not play games I cannot win. And answers do not tend to hide from me for very long. Not if I’m looking for them.”
aka Gale and Astarion both have secrets and are quite bad at keeping them from each other.

“If you're so good, why are you still here? Why didn’t you go back with the army?” Sticky asked.
Because Burakh said ‘stay’ that night in the Broken Heart, Daniil thought indignantly. Because Artemy Burakh is an impossible man to refuse.
Daniil had lost everything. Artemy had gained more than he ever expected. They take things day by day.

Summary
Miles Edgeworth was awoken in the dead of night by his cell phone ringing. He hadn’t ever been much of a heavy sleeper, or someone who slept all that much, regardless, but the sudden ringing made him irate.

Summary
Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth never locks his door. This was a fact that almost everyone knew. So why was it locked now?
