    Summary

    "You really don’t owe me anything," Gale stammers. The flush from his cheeks travels well south of his tunic’s neckline.

    "Of course I do," Astarion counters matter-of-factly. He straddles the wizard’s hips with the same effortless grace that guides his daggers on the battlefield, and Gale’s next argument sticks in his throat.

    "One good turn deserves another, don’t you think? You saved my life. I daresay thanks are in order."

    Strap in, friends. It's gonna be a ride.

    Summary

    It all started with the Nautiloid. There was a before, certainly. Isotta had been a scholar and a storyteller—an ethnographer—but not a mage. She had traveled the whole of Faerûn, exploring and cataloguing the people who called the material plane home. Where a wizard might hoard knowledge, Isotta sought to share it. Everything around them was just one big story, after all.

    There was also a magnificent wizard named Rolan who had the misfortune to be born a tiefling. He also had the misfortune to meet a bard who claimed to be a scholar, named Isotta. Despite his best efforts to evade her, she repeatedly inserted herself into his life until he finally had no choice but to tell her he loved her, in his own way, and ask her if she might love him too—because why else could someone be so insistent on meddling if not for love? And then, dear reader, she rejected him.
