    Summary

    Crown Prince Zuko discovers his bending when he is five and his sister is three, and she’s the first person he tells, juggling a flame while she admires its beauty. When he shows the rest of his family, his mother’s chopsticks clatter to the table, and when Zuko looks to his father, his eyes are wide with shock.

    His grandfather speaks first, the head of the table, and approval runs thick through his tone: “Well, look at that. A true prodigy, wouldn’t you agree, Ozai?”

    “Indeed,” he hums.

    //

    (Princess Azula won’t summon her first flame—a guttering, timid thing—until she’s seven.)

    //

    Or, in a world where Zuko is the prodigy and Azula is the one banished, destiny shifts accordingly.

    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

    The story of Dracula if instead it is Count Szarr who is visited by the solicitor Wyll Ravengard. Unlike Dracula, Szarr will not be making it to London.

    A fusion fic where Dracula’s original main cast is replaced with the charismatic monster hunter, lovable rogue, and the eminently hatable vampire lord of Baldur’s Gate. The style of this fic imitates and expands upon the original epistolary style of Bram Stoker’s original Dracula.

     

    Where English gentleman Wyll Ravengard, a hero at heart, cannot resist the call to action once he discovers monsters are real.

    Summary

    Three commands has Astarion broken, and now the fourth with a rapier through his gut and crossbow to his skull. Centuries he's wanted to be free—well, here it is. Dirt under his nails and blood behind his fangs. He's free. Isn't he fucking satisfied?

    Astarion has not been a person in two hundred years. His journey to become one does not start off well.

    author: "Astarion and unreliable narrator is a combo made in the stars. the dichotomy between 'i want these things' and 'i will never have them' where he's just clawing for any sense of personhood while unable to conjoin himself with it. even if he gets/has it, he wouldn't recognize it. i love wringing this man like a limp dishrag so very much"

    Summary

    There is something living in this house.

    In the end, all he’d said was, “I’ll be fine,” and his brother had nodded and they’d lapsed back into silence.
