Nothing better than a causal realization that your local Bhaalspawn has been inside of your house and you did not know

What a Catch! 🩸

[arsenicflame]

eep! posted my first fic!! I wasn't expecting this idea to catch me so thoroughly, but it really wouldn't let me go until I did something with it!

Thank you to @izzyandcrew for organising the event that finally got me writing (and for all your work over the past months for this fandom in general!!)

I hope you'll enjoy :)

Mods? take their nose.

Easily the worst thing about Vat’il (outside of everything else about him) is that he made Lae’zel sad :(

(doesn’t help with how quickly he attaches himself to Gortash 😔)

[wawamouse]

I really love the sets of s1, esp the pilot :') The dress factory! The random other, bigger shower room?? The AIDs ward! It all just seems so much more cavernous and believable as a prison

Verse I'm currently working on plus a lot of thoughts:

*drum roll* ....... SHARRAN LORROAKAN.

Hear me out. We know he wants to be powerful and immortal, he is morally flexible as a rubber band and I HC that he is pissed at Mystra for leaving him on read. And he is pissed at Selûne bc her daugther bane'd him haha The perfect storm. BUT, I can't emphasize enough that Lorroakan values his independence above all else, and I'll stand by that!!!11! The way he is sooo insistent to capture Aylin (*clears throat*, pardon me, DAME Aylin!), despite being a wizard who likely knows a thing or two about pacts, potions, and other methods of achieving immortality, really says something imo (Well, there's THAT, and Lorroakan simply thinks it's the easiest route to immortality, I guess. HE isn't the one putting himself at risk to find Aylin; he just pours a ridiculous amount of gold into it... The wand, the information itself, printing 3708900 pamphlets,...) Anywayyy, With all those other alternatives such as potions and pacts, there are trade-offs. Strings attached, contracts, and side effects that Lorroakan just doesn't want to deal with unless it's absolutely necessary; like when he's dead or dying (HELLO, PLOT-HOOK??). So he won't casually call upon Shar or any deity.

I still think this concept could work in so many ways!

ONE, Lorroakan sits on a treasure trove of artifacts and books Ramazith left behind, and who's to say he doesn't stumble over a tome about the Shadow Weave, or some kind of Sharran artifact?? To quote Rolan, "Lorroakan barely knew his alphabet"' — so it's not unlikely he'll just pick up a random book or smth without knowing what it is, and end up with a Shadow Curse, or otherwise corrupted by Shar. (side eyes @shadovan)

TWO, Alright, but what if Lorroakan doesn't end up on the Sharran path by accident? Lorri is clever. You can't convince me otherwise. He knows getting into the Shadow Weave is dangerous as FUCK, and he won't touch it unless he finds a way to interact with it without drawing Shar's attention. (shout-out to @deaddoveadventures 's Raistlin who is currently Lorroakan's partner in crime doing exactly that, lmao).

Spoiler alert, it probably won't work.

THREE, ALSO the daughter of SELÛNE bane'd him!!!?? I've been entertaining the thought of giving Lorroakan a post-Aylin Wight verse.

(That "someone" being Shar). I mean, come OOOON, this has written Lorroakan all over it, but it'd work just as well without Lorroakan returning as a Wight. Shar can just miracle him back to life, I suppose.
