Just inject this directly into my veins, please 😁

Her Embrace, Her Tears

Multi-chaptered, fluff, angst, eventually smut

Lae'zel probably didn't need a good excuse, or further motivation, to go to war with Shar. But, she is about to get it anyway.

Five years post game, Dark Justiciar/Mother Superior/Chosen of Shar Shadowheart and (with a few notable exceptions) everyone got their bad endings, in that everyone is still alive, but shitty. Lae'zel is thriving though, aside from her relationship.

Shadowheart had to keep her gaze away from the Majordomo, Barnes. Just the sight of him, the smell of his sweat and the lingering fear that was almost expelled as he grew weak before her, made the newly refreshed wound in her hand twinge. She pushed it away. It was not her fault, what had happened to him, days earlier when he wandered carelessly into the enclave and got himself tortured all night. Even if it had been her fault, it was done, and the only real shame was that it was pointless. His pain meant nothing to her, and the fact that just seeing her again had clearly injured him anew didn’t mean anything either. She was furious with herself for feeling any guilt at all, and then she pushed that away too.

For all the dread that the man clearly felt towards her, he hadn’t abandoned Alice. He was unconscious beside her. The mantle had been too much for him. That was rare, but not without some precedent. Alice, on the other hand, was fighting her with pure will. She didn’t have much left in the way of emotions, but there was a rigid defiance. Like spiting Shadowheart was its own reward.

“I’ll tell you what,” Alice spoke very slowly, almost seemed to lose track of her own thoughts from one word to the next, and then took such a pause that Shadowheart half expected her to also pass out, rather than finish her statement. “I’ll let both you, the githyanki I’ve been trying to contact, and the Thayans submit proposals on why you think you’d be the ideal caretakers for the child and then we can come to a decision based on who’s best equipped to see to his needs?”

Shadowheart might have laughed if the situation wasn’t so frustrating, instead, she took a deep, calming breath, her nostrils flaring as she closed her eyes. “I suppose you’d like to have Astarion take up his old role as magistrate and analyze these proposals?”

Alice looked at her blankly. Shadowheart had been sure that Alice’s suggestion was in jest and that she was mocking her, but it was clear from her face that humor had been stripped from her already. Apparently, apathy was to blame for her odd thoughts. “That elf was a judge?” she asked.

“I—” Shadowheart had been about to point out Astarion’s friendship with her, again. Surely, he’d consider her taking the child off his hands to be a favor. The sound of a crash from outside the room interrupted her. It wasn’t close—down the hall, but it sounded like something big had fallen or been thrown.

“Sleep,” she flicked her rod towards Alice as she quit the room, and felt the spell land. The servants would keep for the moment. She might simply be able to find the child on her own, if they were intent on making so much noise. It was a big palace, but this interrogation was taking far too long.

At the end of the hallway, she caught sight of something rather strange. Scratch, trying to run, but being tugged backwards by gith collar, by a faintly glinting Mage Hand cantrip. Scratch’s nails skittered across the floor, his tail whipping excitedly against the cantrip as it failed. He turned about, snapped his jaws shut over the hand which was disbursed in a snap. Then he barked, triumphant and bolted out of sight.

Keeping quiet, Shadowheart closed the gap between them in a turn of the hallway, coming upon the ballroom. Inside, Scratch stood sentinel beside Lae’zel, who had the gith child in her sight, hands out and ready to snatch him as he tried to slip around her.

“Ptaris?” Shadowheart called softly, freezing the room with her entrance. It had been hard to get the name out of Alice.

Lae’zel whirled around immediately, facing her with an expression of such pure iron that for a moment, Shadowheart remembered the fear she’d felt upon seeing her for the first time. There was no quarter to be begged. She didn’t want to have to resort to violence, but she knew she couldn’t fail her lady. Don’t make me do this, my love.

Scratch turned and whined, sensitive to the tension between them.

The gith child barely reacted, didn’t even take the chance to try and run again, though they swiveled their head around to catch sight of an open door in the back of the ballroom, but didn’t try it. They looked confused, frightened, overwhelmed. Good.

“Look at me, Ptaris,” Shadowheart said gently. “It’s alright,” she managed to keep herself calm, and in that calmness, felt the first hints of his own mantle, reaching out for hers. She didn’t imagine that he could feel the same connection from his side, but she did sense a shift in him, a kind of reverie.

Lae’zel’s jaw tightened and she raised her chin, shoulders stiffening, not quite ready to reach for her sword, but certainly a breath away from being very ready, for anything. Had it been a mistake to come alone? Or not? On the one hand, it would be difficult to get him out of here with Lae’zel in her way, on the other hand, she wasn’t sure she could have reasonably ordered her acolytes to stand down if they had been with her. She couldn’t show weakness, and that is how they would see it, surely. But, it wasn’t weakness. It was simply an obstacle that forced her to be a little more clever than to act with straightforward force. “Lae’zel. You’re scaring him,” she said, still trying for the gentle approach.

“He should be scared,” Lae’zel hissed, “but not of me.”

“No one here means you any harm, Ptaris.” Shadowheart tried to assure him, and she sensed that shift again, her mantle enveloping his own, drawing the fear out of him.

There was a thump from behind her back, as Alice stumbled into the ballroom, hitting the door on the way in. She was barely on her feet, but she’d shaken off the sleeping spell rather rapidly. Again, Shadowheart might be impressed if it wasn’t so irritating. Still, she did nothing as Ptaris saw her and immediately rushed into her arms. Lae’zel, on the other hand, reached out to snatch him, almost closing hands around his wrist, but the slippery little thing skirted her, crashing into Alice.

Alice was leaning on the five year old, relying on his weight to keep her upright.

“Do I have to go now?” Ptaris demanded of her, “is it a tenday already?”

“I’m not sure yet, remember what we talked about?” Alice murmured.

He pressed his face firmly into her stomach, trying to block out the world. Good instincts. Better than she’d had, as a girl, from what she could remember. There was potential to work with here.

“He should be with his own people. Your plane has already damaged him enough,” Lae’zel approached at a cautious stalk, eyeing the channeling rod twisting in Shadowheart’s hands. She stopped, and hid it behind her back.

“He should be with those who will care for him best, and for whom blessings await,” Shadowheart countered quietly.

“Blessings?!” some heat rushed into Lae’zel’s face.

A little prick of annoyance touched Shadowheart right in the center of her core. She’d always known, deep down, that the respect Lae’zel showed for her faith was tenuous, at best. It was a compromise. She loved Shadowheart, and understood it was important to her, so she didn’t push back, but it was impossible not to notice the thinly veiled animosity, the sideways glances, and the vein in her neck when Shadowheart spoke of her god.

“Yes,” Shadowheart said firmly. “He is fleeing from you, filled with trepidation and confusion. Shar would take all of that away.”

“Because she takes everything,” Lae’zel followed that to its logical conclusion, her voice dripping with bitterness.

“Yes,” Shadowheart said again, having to mentally step right over the bit of pity that appeared. She still didn’t understand. So few did. But they would.

The clatter of footsteps from the hallway alerted them all to the appearance of more people, to watch their little drama unfold. Lae’zel immediately looked even more tense, but Shadowheart relaxed, taking this as a good sign. More people, meant more opportunity. She may yet be able to sway the situation in her favor.

Scratch’s ears perked up, he barked once and then broke into a run, angling around Shadowheart and instead leaping excitedly towards the man who’d just entered the ballroom.

“Oh, look who it isn’t?!” Astarion cried in delight, leaning over to jolly Scratch around the collar, “no doubt infested with astral flees! To what do I owe the pleasure?” He stood, and looked them all over, mild confusion growing into something visibly more irritated as a few silent seconds wore on. He looked a little better than he had the day before, all things considered. He seemed less despondent at least, though that might have just been the surprise of seeing the dog again. At his back, three others joined him. A human man, a tiefling vampire spawn, and Isolde.

“What’s all this?” he gestured around the ballroom, eyes lingering curiously on the gith child clinging to Alice, and then Alice’s face drained. With a quirk of his jaw, and a lowered brow he briefly indicted Shadowheart with a look, before turning back to his servant.

“I was going to tell you,” Alice didn’t sound apologetic, perhaps she was too empty for guilt. “Then it was so easy not to.” She patted the gith child’s head. “Ommelum told me that you’d brought him the egg in the first place, so as his previous caretaker—”

“His—what!??” Astarion looked in alarm at the child, “That’s Egg?! They actually managed to hatch a child from that?”

“Oh good, you remember,” Alice sighed.

“Caretaker?!”

“I’ve been keeping him here a few days. He’s been fairly unobtrusive, all things considered,” she confessed, and Shadowheart had a feeling that any anxiety she’d ever felt about telling her master this had been sucked out of her during her conversation with Shadowheart.

Astarion processed this with no small amount of incredulity. He searched the room. “Did you all, just know?!” he demanded when no one else seemed to share in his outrage.

“Yes,” answered the human man, with a shrug.

“You’ve been alive less than half a day!” Astarion raged back at him.

“Astarion,” Shadowheart commanded his attention back to herself with a little extra push of Shar’s power through her voice. It was a habit she’d picked up with acolytes, and she could tell from the way he tensed as he turned to look at her, that he’d noticed, and didn’t particularly appreciate it.

“Shadowheart, old girl,” he replied, voice flat.

“Let me take the child. I’ll see to it he’s well cared for.”

Astarion cocked his head at her, contemplating her involvement with no small measure of visible curiosity.

“I sent a message out to your friend, Lae’zel,” Alice indicated with a drooping finger, “no idea how she heard about any of it.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Shadowheart said delicately, “Lae’zel is in no position to care for a child. She’ll probably just throw him to the first batch of hatchlings his own age, and he’ll be eaten alive,” she would usually not be so openly harsh on Lae’zel’s people—but they all had to know it was true, so she risked looking into Lae’zel’s eye long enough to try and convey that she was being sincere. “You know it’s true,” she added, once she locked gazes with her.

Gods. Was it really just yesterday that the two of them had been so at ease with each other? She could still remember the taste of the wine and Lae’zel’s full lips indulging her with sweet caresses. Even now, she was pulled into her impossibly large, wet amber eyes, all at once filled with longing and with anger.

“He has a certain amount of catching up to do,” Lae’zel said through bared fangs, “I will certainly not abandon him to the kind of upbringing I knew, when he is not ready for it. He will have my full attention and tutelage. He should know his people.”

Everyone else was silent a moment, watching the moments pass between the two of them with marked tension. Even Scratch was poised, as though awaiting an order.

“Well, what does Egg have to say about it?” Astarion motioned to the child.

At that, the room briefly exploded.

“—Why can’t I stay here?—” Egg demanded, pulling away from Alice to project his voice.

“—He still doesn’t even understand that he’s not going to be abandoned again—” Alice started, but at the same time that Lae’zel was roaring.

“—His name will not be Egg!”

And Shadowheart tried again to use the voice to pull back control, “—powers beyond human will are at work, we can’t simply ignore that.”

“Huh,” Astarion commented once there was enough silence for him to fill it. “Seems Egg is content to stay put, and I don’t have a problem with that, for the moment. He’s quiet and unobtrusive, apparently,” though his jaw clenched a little here, “what was that about powers beyond human will, Shadowheart? Do you mean to tell me that Lady Shar has an interest in a young githyanki child?”

“I am saying that it isn’t for any of us to decide his fate, when the gods themselves are involved.” It might seem futile, but her instincts told her not to betray her ladies secrets, in specifics, even when they’d already been guessed by an enemy.

“Thayans are also involved,” Lae’zel pointed out. “You may not want to keep him here, if it means they’ll come looking for him.”

Astarion motioned to Lae’zel but maintained a dangerous sliver of red eyecontact with Shadowheart, “she’s making better points than you.”

In spite of herself, Shadowheart did feel a small surge of annoyance at that. It wasn’t the kind of flip comment she was used to hearing any longer. No one had spoken to her like that since… well, since she’d traveled the sword coast with these people, almost six years ago now.

“You can’t honestly think that githyanki care about the well-being of children? They barely raise them in the first place. It’s just a clutch of eggs, then a gaggle of toddlers who kill each other off until a few lucky ones mature to something like adulthood and run off to die for glory in their never-ending wars.” She couldn’t stop herself. Years of practice, avoiding these thoughts and certainly avoiding the urge to say anything in front of Lae’zel broke like a dam.

And, it seemed, Lae’zel was ready, with her own barely repressed thoughts, “better he struggle and learn to value his own life in the preservation of it, then be compelled to forget and give up on everything in his head and his heart, for the benefit of a greedy, pernicious goddess, who’s only pursuit is her own self aggrandizement at the expense of everything else in all the planes.”

She had tried to be nice about this. Shadowheart had come ready to use words, rather than force. But it was clear in the poison in Lae’zel’s words and the smirk on Astarion’s face that they had never really understood. They were against Shar, and they were against her. And there was nothing she could have ever done to prevent this outcome.

“Grovel,” Shadowheart commanded, and with a snap, the room around her collapsed. The spell hit all of them, except the gith child. She saw everyone but Lae’zel falling to their knees, ready to supplicate before her. Lae’zel had been the target she needed to subdue the most, but she’d thrown it off, and so Shadowheart hoped she could be fast enough to put some distance between them before Lae’zel reacted. Shadowheart sprang forward and reached out a hand to snatch the gith child from were he was huddled beside Alice as she lay prostrate on the floor.

Her fingertips barely brushed him when Astarion suddenly slammed into her, taking her completely by surprise.

He hadn’t been caught by her spell, but he’d pretended to fall under it, instead going into a crouch and then attacking. He caught her by the throat and kept moving, both of them hitting and then walking sideways up the nearest wall, as her weight hung off of his hand, where he had her at the jaw. She felt her rod ripped out of her hand and heard the crack of it breaking, felt the power she’d poured into it disburse as the broken pieces hit the ground.

Astarion’s grip at Shadowheart’s jaw was bruising, but he wasn’t closing off her airway or her blood supply, just yet, instead, he had her at the bones. Pressure strained through her entire body, but particularly down her spine and in her mouth, so that she barely managed to utter the verbal component to her next spell as he reached the ceiling and let her dangle from her head, “Ira et Dolor!”

Astarion groaned through a burst of sharp, glowing pain as the radiant figures whirled around both of them, trying to protect her and burn him. He endured it, but shifted his grip with a jerk. Now he had her airway closed, now he was putting pressure on the veins in her throat, and it was difficult to concentrate on the spell. She stared up at his infuriated face, hot with radiant burns, and suddenly remembered that he was a powerful vampire who had killed thousands of people. They’d always been friends, but it seemed that didn’t quite matter right now.

She felt the spell break, before she realized that she’d stopped maintaining it. She tried to reach up, but her hands went slack.

There was shouting from below, a loud crash and Astarion dropped her.

She only felt the perfect, untethered weightlessness of falling in the air for an instant, and then the world was black.
