Summary
In a city divided by loyalties to the Spider Queen, Mordred, a drow noble, is bound by the expectations of his marriage to Aveline, the fierce newly appointed Matron of House Melarn. Yet, beneath the weight of duty, an undeniable connection forms between him and Kyrtaar, a Kryn drow slave, torn from the surface and forced into servitude.
Kyrtaar, unbroken despite years of torment, brings a new kind of challenge to Mordred’s already complicated life, one that questions the very foundations of his beliefs. As the bond between them deepens, Mordred is torn between loyalty to his wife and culture, and his own growing feelings for Kyrtaar and curiosity of the surface.
Guided by Kyrtaar’s patient hand, Mordred begins a perilous journey of self-discovery, where he must confront his beliefs, torn between the traditions of his people and the complexities of a love that defies everything he’s known.

Summary
Essek Thelyss has many secrets, but there are exactly two that matter to him more than any others. Should either be revealed to the Dynasty that he serves, his life would be forfeit. Or so he thought.
The Luxon does not communicate its intentions clearly, and its motives are shrouded in mystery. But its word is the law, and when the Queen receives a vision, she is going to act on it, regardless of what that may mean for the religion that worships the light.
And the Mighty Nein? Well, they're obviously going to help their friend, even if they still don't quite know if they trust him or not. Perhaps this could be the test to prove his intention? There's only one way to find out.

Let Sleeping Elves Lie by StellarTangle (ShadedTangle)

Summary
COMPLETE!
He wants to age without magical aid. For science. And (let's be honest) for love, too. It starts simply enough. Essek begins to sleep more than trance. And then as the trances lessen in frequency, he feels different somehow. More hurried. He doesn't know why at first, except that he does, at least he hopes. When he finally confronts Corellon about it, they try a new tactic, suggesting a new place (instead of that sliver of sanctuary with "The Luxon") Arvandor. But Essek doesn't like that, either. He wants freedom to choose his soul's direction. And he can't when it keeps being reborn as an elf into the material plane. He wants to fly through time and space, to learn what bigger thing connects all these souls, what grander omni-dimensional organism it makes up. He’s not looking forward to explaining himself to Caleb, but he’ll figure out a way.
There are sweet things. There are philosophical things. There are arguments and conflicts. Working through those conflicted times is what gives them strength to be better. It grows their bond, and with whatever greater love blooms from that maybe it’s possible to fuel something that could destroy a great evil.
Bonus Essek/Ludinus beacon backstory!

Summary
The contact is breath taking. Touching it feels like touching a weak point in reality, like he could push through and shatter time and space. Except it isn’t weak, it’s stronger than anything else. A kaleidoscope of possibilities and impossibilities wash over him, visions or memories.
"What can you do?" Essek asks as he stares into the void.
"What can I do?" The void asks back.What if Essek wasn't a wizard? What if the Luxon saw Essek's thirst for knowledge and took a liking to him?
