Summary
The long shadows of the moonlit sanctuary could certainly play tricks on anyone’s eyes. After another glance around, Tav forced herself to bring her attention back to the the altar. She had just begun to read the inscription etched in the floorboards when she felt a cold knife blade against her throat and a voice suddenly whispering in her ear.
“Tav, darling, you left the party so quickly! It almost seemed like you didn’t want to see me,” the unseen voice purred. “Now, before you get any ideas, I’m going to have to ask you to kindly drop the dagger.”
Tav’s brain short-circuited. She’d recognize that mocking drawl anywhere – Astarion.

Summary
Astarion heard Gale swallow thickly and then he could smell it. Lust. Sweet and fragrant. The wizard's gaze flicked down to his mouth.
All at once everything fell into place.
Of course he wouldn't take him to his bedroom and tell him to strip.
The wizard possessed something Cazador had never had: Manners.
He’d chosen a far more subtle approach that left Astarion the comforting illusion of free will. The trap hadn’t been as crude as food and shelter. No, Astarion had been accruing a far less obvious debt. The library card. The suddenly tuned piano. The bottles of bergamot and rosemary oil that had found a way into his bathroom. The glasses. The ring. A debt he had never agreed to, but still it had built.
Anyone could tell what the wizard wanted in payment.Waterdeep will be many things for Astarion. A place to rest. A place to heal. A place to figure out what the fuck he wants to do with his life now.
It will also be a place of endless frustration with a wizard who refuses to collect on his debts and a stranger he can not keep himself from returning to.
Really, who came up with that anonymity spell anyway?- Language:

Summary
Four months of Gideon Nav's life in which she sees Harrow once and thinks about her a lot, sees Ianthe a lot and punches her once, breaks up with her girlfriend, experiences the complete and total agony of being in love, survives being in a bridal party, wears some silly outfits, and deals with some punk rock parental issues. Probably not in that order.
(And one month where everything is mostly wonderful.)

Summary
Roan Tevlin was once regarded as one of the greatest thieves in Nine-Fingers' guild, but lately her jobs have been consistently ruined by Astarion, a member of a competing thieves guild run by Cazador Szarr. They both soon learn, however, that a bitter rivalry can easily devolve into a lustful obsession. In the middle of it all is Gale Dekarios: a powerful wizard running a magic shop in Baldur's Gate, as well as Roan's former client-turned-lover. What might have been a love triangle becomes so much more, and in the process of knowing each other, they uncover dark, well-kept secrets about the thieves guilds that run the city.
