As she grows closer to her Scylla, Raelle notices that Scylla is changing, and not in ways anyone expected.

Summary
Scylla Ramshorn comes to the tiny coastal town of Meridian Bay with a plan: fix up her late uncle’s rundown motel, sell it, and leave.
She does not expect:
A lighthouse owner who shows up everywhere,
A dog with no respect for personal space,
A town council that invents new festivals weekly, Nor the entire population shipping her with said lighthouse owner on sight.Drawn into the warm orbit of the town and Raelle, Scylla finds herself questioning the life she has. And Raelle, who has never been one to give up on something beautiful, quietly hopes Scylla might choose to stay.
A gentle, slow seaside romance about an uptight city girl learning how to stay, a lighthouse dwelling artist who refuses to give up on her, second chances, summer storms, and the courage it takes to stop running.
And a quirky, chaotic seaside town that never minds its own business.

Summary
Some part of him could picture it then, could imagine telling her everything - speaking til dawn on his whole history. Spending the next day in this same spot, diving into what he knew of hers. Asking how it felt to gore that bard. Instead, he mirrored her smile - his own wicked grin for seducing and scheming.
“I’ve wanted to taste you since I first felt that pretty neck under my blade.”
And as her head fell back in a laugh, the white expanse of her neck on full display at his easy, overused line, he watched the golden girl fall into the palm of his hand.

COMPLETED.Astarion had known the woman's face immediately - Halia Dhune, the golden daughter of Baldur's Gate. The princess of the upper city. How many times had Cazador sent him after her - wanting to claim the socialite as a trophy to add to his awful collection? At least now he wouldn't have to go back to his master empty handed, should the tadpole situation not work out in his favor.
(or: what if the Dark Urge was a noble woman, perfect and popular, and her father's favorite fox in the henhouse. and of course, what if our dear vampire knew of her before the crash?)

Summary
Fear had a way of leaving scars on the mind like blows left bruises and cuts on the skin. No amount of wine could wash away his nightmare, but that did not stop Astarion from trying.
—
Grappling with changes that came along with his newfound freedom, Astarion unexpectedly catches feelings for a socially awkward, yet incredibly sweet, ranger from Neverwinter. Astarion doesn’t want to put a name to those feelings. Doesn’t want an attachment that could be ripped away at a moments notice.
But damn, does Cas makes his conviction to remain unattached, to use her as a tool, seem impossible.- Language:
