I seem to get more traction when I do the fancy posts, so here's a fancy post!

When the pleasantries were complete, Mama pulled Tav aside with a tight smile.

She spoke in hushed tones. ‘I’ve put you two in the purple room. I know it’s hardly the done thing, but we are all aware of your living situation. Besides,’ she shot her a suggestive look, ‘everyone knows first babies come early.’

‘Mama!’ Tav turned beet red.

There was a touch of mania in her shaking words. ‘Do you know what would happen if I tried to plunge this into your heart?’

‘The steel watch would be on you in a heartbeat. Rina, this is madness. Whatever you think I’ve done, we can reason this out.’

Tav walks with Bane. Enver comes home.

‘I suppose they have.’ Tav shook her head. ‘I can’t believe you’re leaving me to play house while you go gallivanting up north.’

He gave her a smug grin. ‘Oh, I’m sure you’ll do a grand job of picking the drapes.’

Tav translates the Lorossian book.

‘Why? he repeated. ‘Is it not enough to enjoy it, to get to fuck the hero of Baldur’s Gate, to know that behind closed doors she’s nothing but a whore to be used for the Archduke’s pleasure?’

Tav gets her "trapped in Wyrm's Rock" fantasy fulfilled. NSFW.

When Tav found her voice again it was nought but a whisper. ‘Bound forever to serve the very state they rebelled against, doomed to enact its violence against former comrades, it’s…’ She looked deep into Enver’s dark, gleaming eyes. ‘…beautiful.’

Tav visits the foundry and feels her so-called patron's influence blossom.

5000 words into a 3000 word chapter and I'm just, inventing new plot points, bringing in what might be a new villain, and an entire new city. It's not like the fic ever needs to end right it can just go on forever I'm sure this is fine.

‘Names!’ cried Astarion. ‘Duke Vanthampur, wait for your turn to speak.’ ‘Oh, do be quiet Ancunín,’ he scoffed. ‘Everyone knows you’re in that seat because you’re Ammakyl’s grovelling lickspittle. A long lost branch of the Szarrs? I think not. Let me finish my thought. Our Grand Duke is looking rather filled out, of late. Do we have an heir on the way?’

Parliament is a bit of a disaster. Astarion gets his I-told-you-so moment.

He threw the screen to the floor and grabbed her chin with his gauntlet in one swift movement. The tablet landed on the flagstone with clunk. The metal tips of Enver’s fingers dug painfully into Tav’s skin. He violently twisted her chin up to face him; his voice brimmed with malice. ‘I should put you in your fucking place.’ ‘Maybe later dear,’ she said, ‘I’m not in the mood.’

The morning after. Tav and Enver disagree on the right way to move forward.
