Summary
The Empire is winning the war. In the wake of his master's death, Volstrucker Bren ascended to Archmage of Civil Influence, but he's been secretly undermining the Empire by feeding intelligence to the Mighty Nein, a group of adventurers fighting for peace. When his rival and friend the Shadowhand is captured, Bren acts on the only idea that will spare a Kryn politician from execution: claiming him as a war prize.
Bren and Essek are forced to perform a fake politican/concubine relationship, including all the tension and jingoism it entails, while taking advantage of their circumstances to spy on and steal from the court around them. Bren may wield the leash, but Essek has cards up his sleeve, and even so, Bren fears hurting Essek almost as much as Essek fears losing Bren. Their mutual trepidation must graduate to mutual trust — maybe even love — if they have any hope of surviving the lie they started.

Summary
Even if they weren’t companions, Astarion knows that he wouldn’t be able to stay away, even as he keeps telling himself that he hates being forced to always be around this guy.
“Do you even know how to kiss a girl?” Astarion blurts out.
That’s how it starts. Gale’s mouth drops open, cut off mid-sentence during his incessant blathering about Mystra yet again.
What started as a crack smut idea has turned into forbidden romance fluff and angst about queer sexuality and religious trauma. The idea was totally unhinged, but I balmed all over it and ended up taking it far too seriously. Gale and Astarion as Mormon missionaries that fall in love and have a lot of gay sex. It's incredibly soft and sweet gay panic smut.

Summary
One cannot help but be in awe,
when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity,
of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.
– Albert Einstein
What if the spark between Essek and Caleb’s relationship wasn’t a war but their shared love for knowledge? And insufferable research conferences?
