"We have to help!" Olly said.
"No we don't," Jarg countered.
"It's a 50 gold penalty for every crew member we lose," Zarys said. "Rugan, what's our penalty at?"
"Five hundred," Rugan admitted.
"Ten people dead?" Olly gasped.
"Probably more, now," Jarg said.
"How?"
"The gnolls," Rugan gently reminded Olly.
"You told me they were sleeping! You said they would meet us at the gate!"
"Aye, lad. Didn't need you crying, now did I?"
"Who cares about them? What about us? Five hundred glories? Five hundred weeping wolves?" Jarg squeaked. "You're a terrible crew leader, Rugan, and now it's affecting my take home." -

Summary
What happens when two hearts on their individual healing journeys meet?
Tiefling Ranger Zailia Hightower is in a good place as a freelance Private Investigator and coming off the high of helping take down the Absolute Cult alongside her best friends and their team. Otherwise, she lives a quiet life in Baldur’s Gate – so long she has a steady flow of clients, time with her friends, an occasional fling, and hobbies to keep her out of trouble.
Until one of the cult take-down team members, Astarion, takes an interest in becoming a PI himself. But that’s the only thing he’s interested in… Right?
The Tiefling and the Elf-Vampire Spawn have complicated and dark pasts; both on the paths of healing, but still working through a lot. Little do they both know how much they need each other – and especially want each other. However, sometimes relationships can open old wounds.
They will figure it out, and learn that they are enough for each other, just as they are.
(Note – is on the same timeline/universe as my other fic “Pure Magic” While reading the other fic is encouraged for context’s sake, it is not a required read for you to enjoy this story!)

Summary

“Look, I don’t do this song and dance thing,” Trei tells him. There’s something tired, but still mischievous in her eyes. “If you want to fuck me, just come out and say it.”It’s mostly the performance that pushes Astarion forward, until his nose is brushing against her pumpkin hair, and his lips are right next to her ear. This is all meticulously rehearsed.
But he’s not really sure what makes him murmur, “I want to fuck you.”
He doesn’t have to. No one is forcing him, or will punish him for failing. He decides swiftly that it’s for strategic purposes only. Purely self-preservation. Having a Zhent with connections on his side, when and if he ever gets to face Cazador, will be incredibly valuable.
That’s as far as he gets in terms of thinking, because Trei’s hands are curling into the front of his shirt and the pressure of her kiss shoves him against a tree.”

Summary
“Who the hells are you?” The elf turned to size up the duo.
“Family from out of Baldur's Gate.” Rugan supplied.
“Ah, Zarys' crew. She said you were halfway competent.”
“Probably the closest thing to a compliment we’ll draw out of her,” muttered Rugan.
Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young.
Being the Southern Deliveries Manager for the Baldur's Gates Zhentarim is not an easy job. Between mentoring new recruits, juggling vicious coworkers and whip-cracking bosses, bandits are the least of Rugan's troubles. An encounter with a charming stranger on the job serves to only complicate his life all the more.

And once is nonce. His chest and arms had fewer scars than she remembered, when they had last made camp together years ago. So surely, this doesn't even count.
