Summary
Kaidan was a boy raised without roots... and by the Nine if that didn't show. No kin, no purpose... no future to call his own. As a lad, he used to dream tall dreams of adventure and heroism. Of destiny. Of Fate. What a foolish notion that was.
In flight of the shadows of his past, Kaidan finds himself tracing old steps back to his homeland - to Skyrim, and the eternal cold of the North's embrace. He hoped, perhaps, that in uncovering the mysteries of his heritage and strange childhood, he might discover shades of the man he was supposed to be. He might even find a way to redeem himself, and become that man. But he never expected to befriend, of all people, an Imperial mage on the road; he hadn't planned on crossing paths with a lass whose Fate, it turned out, was not her own; he couldn't have guessed at the world of myths and legends she would drag them into - a world rife with dangers and threats on every front. A world in which - despite all the agony and terrors it promised - Kaidan felt he heard within it the elusive cadence of something that might have been... home.

Summary
The origins of heroes can start in the unlikeliest of places. When Knight-Commander Theona of the Vigil of Stendarr was sent to Skyrim to discover the status of her brothers and sisters in arms, destiny placed her on a different path entirely. With the rising threat of civil war, the looming darkness of the Thalmor and the constant dangers plaguing the province from Daedra and abominations alike, her path is one filled with darkness and peril.
Skyrim is being torn asunder. New friends and foes appear around every corner. The World-Eater awakens.
And the Wheel now turns on the Last Dragonborn.

Summary
Majima hasn't had a day off work in...ever, basically, and that sort of thing is going to take a toll eventually, no matter how many preventative glasses of whiskey you drink. Which is why he has the flu now. Fortunately, the girls at Club Sunshine aren't having any of that shit.
Included: a non-sexual threat to tie someone to the bed, unexpected revelations about people's relatives, and Sagawa getting the slap in the face that we all know he richly deserves.

Summary
“Time continued to trudge by slowly, laughing at his suffering as he watched it toy with him from afar the boundary between freedom and subjugation. Immortality was agonising, existence was suffering. Death seemed to be an impossible blessing.”
The cruelty of being a vampiric spawn was a hellish torment he wouldn’t wish upon his worst enemy. Astarion was one of seven, all forced to comply everyone one of their masters sick and twisted demands.
This is a brief insight and character study into the horrors he faced.
——
Set during the events of Astarions enslavement as Cazador’s spawn, roughly around 40-50 years before the start of the campaign.

Summary
“Please,” Astarion huffed. “I think I’d prefer even limericks over that sort of prose,” he said, rolling his eyes. Tav grinned.
“When the owlbear was naught but a chick,
the wizard thought up a neat trick:
to raise as his own, but when it was grown,
the animal bit off his—““Ha!” Astarion cut him off. “Yes, very clever.”
“I was going to say ‘finger’,” Tav lied primly.
A rogue and a bard get to know each other, except they're both trauma-ridden liars. Somehow, this results in bad poetry. Set early in Act 1.

Summary
Wyll, Karlach, and Lae’zel speak with a Gur monster hunter in a bog and Astarion happens to be there. It’s a very awkward way to get outted as a vampire to your (mostly) unsuspecting teammates. AKA: Tav-less Act 1 party jumps the team rogue and holds him down for questioning. It's fine.

Summary
“You are such a fucking asshole.” Steve says, but again there’s no venom behind his words. It comes out like an observational statement, like they’re back in Freshman year biology marking down the anatomy of the frog they dissected. Looks like spaghetti, Steve had said while they stared down at the guts in front of them, and even now Tommy can’t eat spaghetti without thinking of it. “You know, believe it or not, Eddie doesn’t treat people the way you do. He wouldn’t even think to.”
Tommy scoffs, does an eye roll of his own. “Yeah, I’m sure he’s real sweet to people before he gouges their eyes out."
