Summary

------
A year after the Netherbrain's defeat, Yrie tracks down Jaheira once again.

Summary
Two centuries he’d spent caged in a boudoir, an expert provider of small deaths before the true one came to call. It all feels useless in the face of this, of her, looking up at him with absolute certainty. He takes her chin in hand, seeking out whatever scraps of softness the world has not yet torn from him, and settles her again just at his feet.
“Are you ready, darling?”
She nods.
-------
Yrie has a penchant for biting that makes intimacy difficult.

Summary
In all of Yrie’s ill-shaped memories, her mouth has been her curse. Her control of it was precarious at best; at times it was silver-tongued, at others sharp-toothed, but always, always, it has waited to devour. She tries not to think of it at its worst.
He's waiting for her.
She breathes.
If there is one thing she can do, it is consume.
-------
The Dark Urge may have broken her father's hold, but a lifetime of conditioning won't fade so quickly.

Summary
Perhaps if he were a better man, he would have stayed. He would have died on familiar docks, surrounded by his friends, standing tall over one of the greatest victories the Sword Coast had ever seen. The bards would never stop singing of him, the vampire who chose to burn rather than let his love fall into madness on her own.
-------
The Dark Urge couldn't kill her sister, and loses her mind in turn. Astarion finds it harder than he expected to let her go.

Summary
A corpse cries for freedom when it has already been placed within a tomb. Those who would call themselves gods claim that the destruction of such a thing restores balance. Yet it is in the very nature of balance to be threatened. Each restoration is not a return, but a change, the natural order made anew.
---
With the resurgence of the Bhaal cult threatening his status, Cazador Szarr proposes a deal: one of his spawn as a gift for their leader, in exchange for peace at his door. The deal is taken, and a truce is reached... or so both parties claim.
In the midst of all of it, the new, unholy betrothed must decide where their loyalties lie.
