Summary
Leon Kennedy was no longer a private citizen, but government property. A tool, being sharpened and trained to undergo only the most dangerous and important missions.
The program would take years to mold him, and he had no way out but forward.
(OR: Leon has a rough transition into military training with Krauser. The training is hard enough, but he also has to deal with the stress of being blackmailed, let alone his crippling survivor's guilt. How long can he carry it all?)

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

Summary
He isn’t sure why he ever thought this would work. Why they would work. (Why Jayce coming back meant anything. Why Jayce staying with him meant anything. Why Jayce meant anything.) Feelings fix nothing. Affection fixes nothing. Perhaps in another life, with another Viktor. But not this one. And not this Jayce. They may have fixed the timeline, but that doesn’t fix them.
He’s too far gone now. He has done too much, and Jayce too little. The salvation of Piltover was predicated upon his own death, over and over. All of which Jayce laid claim to, whether Viktor wanted him to or not.Bookmarked by tornpages

Summary
“That Orb in your chest,” Elminster says finally, voice so thick with purpose that Gale snaps out of his self-deprecation. For the first time in months, his mind feels capable of focus. “Is made of Karsite Weave. Mystra will not help because it is a danger to her very existence.”
“I… didn’t know. I swear! I swear I had no idea, Elminster, you have to tell her! I thought – I was told – it was a part of her. I would never–”
Elminster raises a hand.
“Peace. Do not worry about that now, my boy, and listen to me. In Baldur’s Gate there is a wizard by the name of Lorroakan. Some years ago, he came into possession of a book called The Annals of Karsus. In it, Karsus writes about what he refers to as the Regalia of Karsus – a Crown, a Sceptre and an Orb.”or; Gale travels to Baldur's Gate early, runs into a Hag and gets turned into a cat

Summary
Magic happens anywhere, to anyone, without rhyme or reason. Far more likely to happen with rhyme than with reason, in fact. Most magic items aren’t really valuable, though. A top from a Christmas cracker that can spin forever, a coin that always lands on heads. Tiny, everyday miracles. Spells are even worse, happening in an instant and then over, completely impossible to replicate in a lab.
This doesn't stop Jayce from studying magic, and the artifacts at least are left with magical abilities that remain consistent. So when a man turns up offering to donate an unusually valuable one Jayce is keen. Only the man is donating himself, a living doll, with a sharp intelligence potentially more valuable as a partner in Jayce's studies than as an object to be studied himself.
