Summary
Betrayed by his half-brother and left for dead at the border, Damen is found by the last person he expects: Laurent, omega brother to the Veretian clan-king, who has no reason to save a dying stranger and does it anyway.
Along his healing journey, he starts to understand what it costs Laurent to survive in a camp that sees him as property with a pretty face. Falling in love was not part of the plan, but it rarely is.

Summary
Months after Percival de Rolo is laid to rest, Vox Machina finds themselves back in Whitestone to welcome his and Vex's daughter into the world. With the new addition, and the ever-present wound of grief hanging in the air, Vax comes to realize that the thread of fate he'd thought lost still remains...and maybe...just maybe, they can bring back what was lost.
---
Based on a Tumblr Post by @ggcati77 that suggested what would have happened if Vex got pregnant with Vesper just before Percy died, and they didn't realize Orthax had him until much later.Please enjoy!! :)

Summary
Laurent is a ragdoll, pulled down into the dark at improbable speed. The lift it makes in his stomach is odd, like the giddy drop on a rollercoaster. A moment of elation, perhaps, before he dies.
He breaks the surface.
His gasping mouth now pulls in air, his feet firmly on the rock bottom of the spring and legs holding him up unshakably. Water streams from his head, down his body, as though a bucket had been dumped over his head. He reaches up to push his sopping hair from his eyes.
“Naiad,” a voice says.
Laurent stills. Psychological collapse should be allowed, by the universe, to be a solitary affair, especially when it happens in a state of complete undress. It’s unfair on a cosmic level that Laurent should be happened upon by a stranger in his current condition.
---
On holiday with his brother in Ios, Laurent bathes in a hot spring. Unfortunately, he drowns. Even more unfortunately, when he surfaces somehow, he finds himself thrust back in time. Dropped into the middle of a mythologised ancient war for the Akielon throne, he is determined to get back to the modern day - even after ending up kidnapped (or perhaps rescued) by the rightful King, Damianos.
