    Summary

    “Oh, gods. Don’t tell me you have delusions of taming me.”

    “Taming you? No, I have no such aspirations,” Wyll says, his voice a muted, steady tenor. “All I’ve ever wanted was to set you free.”

    Prince Charming catches himself a vampire.

    Summary

    "I bet Xenk fucks like a metronome, too. You know." Holga makes a highly suggestive, repetitive gesture. "In, out. In, out. No variation. Same exact rhythm every time. Boring."

    Edgin stares at her, torn between horror and fascination. "You've really thought about this, huh?"

    (So has he. Unfortunately.)

    Summary

    “He doesn’t use magic,” Doric says, jutting her chin toward Edgin. Holga makes a noise that might be described as a grunt. Simon nods and takes another bite of stew. “Is it another tragic backstory thing?"

    Simon looks like he’s about to speak through a mouthful of stew, then thinks better of it and swallows first. “Don’t ask me.” Doric gives him a look and turns to Holga.

    “I don’t know,” Holga says. “Probably.”

     

    Five times Edgin actually uses magic, and one time he doesn’t.

    Summary

    Edgin is resigned to Xenk Yendar outdoing him in pretty much everything.

    But he's just realised there's one area where he has an advantage over Xenk - and he's not about to let that go.

    (Written for the Funuary prompt: "Competing over something silly")

    Summary

    "It is done," Xenk says. He holds up his own right hand to demonstrate, displaying the golden light that is already sinking into his gauntlet and disappearing beneath. "We are bound, you and I, until the magic is dispelled."

    "What the fuck," Edgin whispers. He scrabbles at his sleeve, yanking it up to examine the faintly-glowing runes that have encircled his wrist. "What the fuck? What do you mean, bound?"

    Sent by the High Harpers to retrieve a criminal to aid in a desperate mission, and authorized to use binding magic to ensure his cooperation, Xenk comes to understand and long for the former Harper agent Edgin Darvis during the tenday they spend in Icewind Dale, surrounded on all sides by ice, and cold, and endless lonely nothingness.
