Summary
Shadowheart remembers little of her past. But she knows this: she is an assassin, and she has never failed a mission. Her newest target is Clara Whitfield, a British PhD student hiding a painful past in Berlin.
The assignment should be simple enough: 1. Get close. 2. Earn her trust. 3. Kill her.
But the more time Shadowheart spends with Clara, the harder it becomes to remember where the performance ends—and who she might be underneath it.

Summary
Dark Justiciar. Mother Superior. Her Chosen.
Shadowheart gave her heart to Shar and cast love and life aside, accepting the inevitability of loss. What she felt for Tav was meant to be meaningless and fleeting—just a memory, eventually to be forgotten. But even in the darkness that settled in her heart, a glimmer of light endured.
Shar’s embrace grows ever tighter and her demands never cease. Until one day Shar orders the impossible: for Shadowheart to embrace the loss and kill Tav.
But breaking the chains and defying Shar would mean ruin.
Or perhaps… redemption.

Summary
Every night when she sleeps, Mother Superior Shadowheart is taken back to various moments in her past as a tadpoled adventurer. The flashbacks are quickly proven to be more than dreams, as she discovers whatever she does in the past changes the events of her present.
––––––––––
Shadowheart scours the beach for the familiar beaten barrel. She confidently plucks a set of rusted lockpicks, exactly where she knew they would be.
Cypress watches her curiously. "How did you know those were there?"
"Divine intuition," she deadpans.
"Blessed by the god of happenstance?"
"What do you–oh, right. I worship Shar. You don't care."
Cypress blinks at the apathy. "I mean you're right, I don't, but...?"- Language:

Summary
This is Aylin and Isobel's story, though there will be a little crossover with Shadowheart Begins. The work is mostly how Aylin and Isobel met and lived prior to BG3 but will catch up to game events.
* * *
When Isobel hears the sharp tap at her door, she confusedly goes to her bedroom door before realising, the sound is coming from the door that opens onto the balcony.She opens the door in her dressing gown, wiping her eyes, not comprehending in her tiredness what a visitor on the balcony means.
She gasps at the sight of Aylin, her helmet cradled under one arm, her wings tucked behind her shoulders, moonlight glinting off her silver and blue armour. Her striking, gold-lined face is filled with concern to see Isobel in tears.
“Aylin!” Isobel cries, rushing into the aasimar’s arms without thought. “Oh, I missed you!”
Aylin’s helmet crashes to the floor as she opens her arms to welcome Isobel into her embrace at long last, feeling the shape of her snug against her armour.
“My darling Isobel,” Aylin says, her voice filled with emotion that softens her warrior’s voice. “Are you unwell? Are you hurt?”
