Summary
Set pre-Shadowbringers, spoilers, Sadu/Cirina slowburn.
"So you are serious, then. This decree from your gods sends you not once, but twice to another's camp, and still you obey." Tapping her nails against the rim of her cup, Sadu deliberated over which nuances might be best to strike at first. "Speak again of these terms which have bound you."
"Six gifts in full," Cirina replied.

Summary
Set pre-game, spoilers for 5.0 MSQ. Lyna and the Crystal Exarch. The world may be in ruins, but that's all the more reason to care.
"How much of a sinner are you?" she asks anyway, on principle.
His smile -- the only thing she can see of his face -- is gentle. "I try."

Summary
For a fleeting moment you see the age in his eyes, tender and nostalgic as though he were the old man he once claimed to be, looking back upon misplaced yet beloved photographs of times long past.
G'raha turns his arm to regard the arcane eye painted there. The deep hue is stark against the azure of his body. "I shall wash them off in the morning, but for now I enjoy being able to see my old markings again."
"You seem more upset than anything," you counter cautiously, the unspoken question evident in your voice.
"’Tis difficult to put into words. Memory is not always without mourning, and mourning is not always an act of grief." G'raha looks down into his tea, tracing a crystal finger along the curve of the ceramic mug. The faint scratching sound it makes is nearly deafening. "Tis good to remember how it felt to fly before I clipped my wings."

Summary
Yhen’a sighed and tossed the quill aside. This wouldn’t make a song fit for anyone save himself, and honestly, it wasn’t a story he felt like sharing. None of this was anything he felt like sharing, but since his heart had been forcibly torn from his chest and put on display for everyone, he had to at least answer a few questions… much as he truly didn’t want to. He glanced irritably at the door to his suite, wondering if anyone was hovering outside and waiting for him to emerge. So far as he knew the Exarch hadn’t woken yet, which meant none of them could return to the Source… though he, himself, wasn’t going back without having a long talk with G’raha Tia.

Summary
Lyna's request makes more sense now, though perhaps not in the way she intended. Pray be patient with him.
It's not just the Exarch's body that needs time to heal.
G'raha grows heavy against you as he succumbs to sleep. "Stay with me," he murmurs into your chest. His hand finds your tail where it curls around him, and he holds it ever so gently in an unspoken claim.
Not much has changed after all.
He is asleep before you can answer, but it doesn't matter. This time you will be there when he wakes.

Summary
G'raha Tia expected to wake in a brighter world where he might tend the flame of his dear friends' legacies. He did not expect to wake to a world in flames, where those legacies are naught but ashes.
And yet in the darkest of times hope remains, even beyond the end of the world. He will see the wishes of his forebears and the struggling survivors of the eighth umbral calamity fulfilled.
A series of connected short stories detailing the long and winding course charted by that guiding star.

Summary
The Warrior of Light answers the call to the First and among the light-ravaged land of Norvrandt finds something wholly unexpected: the time and the peace to remember what it is to be merely human rather than the Weapon of Light. The allies he kept at arm's length so long become family, and finally, here in this most doomed of lands, is some comfort from war and all it has taken from him.
Or
The Exarch will stop at nothing to save his inspiration, even from the darkness inside the Warrior of Light's own heart and mind.

Summary
A continuing series of snapshots of Irikah and Thane's lives together. These ficlets are part of a common continuity, but they're not in chronological sequence - so consider them as flashbacks, recalled as the memory strikes. These will be posted in the order they were written, with any necessary notes to explain context along the way.
