Summary
"What," Lae'zel says, "is that."
Her voice sounds severe—but then again, her voice always sounds severe, and at least there's no accompanying sound of a greatsword being drawn. Shadowheart lets her hand drop from the handle of her glaive and turns around.
"What's what?" She glances up and down the street, but there's nothing out of the ordinary to be seen: just another street in the Lower City, thrumming quietly with everyday activity. There's a pair of kids whacking each other with sticks—a steel-gray dragonborn hawking potions and dyes—a noblewoman with a stupid little purse dog, the two of them turning up their noses at a selection of vegetables—a drow wobbling on his feet, supported by friends who seem nearly as unsteady as he is—
"That." Weeks of journeying together mean that Lae'zel doesn't outright point at people anymore, but the tilt of her head is just as obvious. "That—creature."
OR: Team Tadpole plays a game. Lae'zel confronts the complexities of taxonomy.

Summary
"Hey. Hey, Hollander."
Shane sighs, drains the last sip of his beer, and turns towards the voice.
"You mind if I ask you a question?"
Can I fucking stop you?
OR: Shane Hollander meets a Boston Raiders fan. The conversation doesn't go quite how he expects.

"I mean, I'm not an innocent," Hob says, bristling against an attack Rue has no plan to aim at him. "But affairs among the Goblin Court, as you can perhaps imagine, are somewhat—rough and ready." His nose wrinkles.

Summary
Two years of playing together, and it still hit him every time. The casualness of it. My husband. Said out loud, in public. After years of hiding—stolen moments in hotel rooms, careful distance in public, the constant exhausting performance of just teammates, just rivals, nothing to see here—now Ilya could say it like it was nothing. Like it was easy, like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Because it was. Finally.
In which Ilya Hollander-Rozanov cannot shut up about his husband. (Subtitled: No one asked, Ilya. Ilya. No one asked.)

Summary
“We might have a bit of work ahead of us in the morning,” he said wryly, looking at the golden pinpricks of lanterns. The lights of the delegation from Earth weren’t visible in the sky yet, but—soon.
Gale looked, and smiled, their real one that gathered in their eyes before spilling onto the rest of their face. “Mount Penglai is a medium-sized hill.”
A very short "they actually talk about their feelings" fic, set in between the election and the fleet from Earth landing.

“Let me make sure I have all of this right,” Gale said. “Within forty-eight hours of someone poisoning me, you found out who it was, which company they were working for, why it happened and how to make sure it didn’t happen again, and then made their stock fall dramatically as a warning shot and the first step of a plan that will probably bankrupt them and certainly change the relationship between both worlds forever. Then you decided to preface all this with—” They paused delicately for dramatic effect. “I quote, ‘okay, don’t be mad.’”
“Yeah,” January said. “Sorry.”
Based on this art!!!

Summary
“Rozanov,” Hollander says again, meaner. Ilya’s heart flutters.
“Hi,” he purrs. Nastya lets out a sweet sound when he pulls back a little and Ilya kisses the shell of her ear, wondering if she’s too dazed from their fucking to question him making a phone call or if she just doesn’t care enough to ask. “You picked up fast. Missed me?”
Or: Ilya is jealous and deals with it in a totally normal way — by calling Shane while he's having sex with someone else.
