Summary
She’d heard stories before, about accepting food from strangers who turned out to be hags or other nefarious fey creatures. But Marleth was fairly certain that hags only took the form of women. And, despite the something that bothered her, this man seemed harmless enough.
Her stomach grumbled loudly, deciding for her. The stranger shot her a knowing grin.
“Come, sit.” He gestured at a spot across from him, near the small cookfire. “Share a meal with me.”
--
Decades after Gale becomes the god of cooking, a halfling bard encounters a mysterious fellow traveler on the road just north of Waterdeep. -

Bookmarker's Notes
Durge said Orin would only need wait for it, they would come for her, hands open offering all they'd given to him. They would love her. Love her. Just as they had the Dark Urge, despite the urge, despite the Absolute, despite everything. There would be no shadows of warmth to chase behind Sarevok's eyes. They'd taught him there were endless worlds out there, that we may choose our fate if given the chance, that the burden of Bhaal's blood was theirs to carry, but they need not carry it alone. By guidance, by love, or by leash, Orin could pluck one of her very own—or have the chance to. The bloodkin promised. He promised.

“I know how we can solve this problem.”
Gale moved his gaze to Astarion, though his mind was still clearly on his translation. “By all means, elaborate.”
“What we need to do,” said Astarion, “is very simple. To take back our home, win the favor of this drow matron, and establish a reputation to be respected and feared from here to Chult, we only need to put on the most incredible musical theater show the Underdark has ever seen.”
Gale didn’t react for a moment. Then he said, “But you hate the stage.”

Bookmarker's Notes
They fly slowly, enjoying the wind currents. Smoke flares his wings and glides in a wide spiral a couple of times, Red patting his neck and laughing with the joy of it. A few trees are coming into flower and leaf, splashes of colour alongside the grey and black rocks.
They’re going to have sex, he knows, but there’s joy in this too. In Smoke suddenly darting forward and racing as fast as he can go, in them swooping over a ridge and dropping like birds diving into a pool, in the warmth of the sunshine dappling down across their backs.
They land on the soft grass that still clings up here in this little clearing. High enough that a couple of the valleys down below have clouds in, and low enough that the air’s still good for humans. The stream water is ice cold and flower sweet; they drink side by side, Smoke towering over him. On foot like this, his head is roughly level with Smoke’s belly.

Summary
"In the now the salt finally dissolved in the lukewarm water. Araj moved swiftly between the barrels, vats and jars that now filled her basement, letting her fingers dance over the cool glass and smooth wood. By silk, she was happy. This project, this research - every moment felt right, like she was finally doing what she was supposed to, like this was her destiny."
Or,
Araj Oblodra continues her experiments with Formula Gruna and Tav's blood.

Bookmarker's Notes
She reached gingerly into the jar, submerging her hands into the lukewarm liquid, and carefully pulled the specimen out. It was soft to touch, silky and fragile, one careless movement away from being irreparably damaged, from splitting delicate skin. The pulse of these gorgeous arteries hammered against her palms, divine bodily music, a song of her own making.
In a flicker of an impulse she felt like cradling it to her chest, like a surfacer mother with a newborn. This was her child after all, not the squirming flesh in her hands, but the formula, the process, this whole project. It was her legacy, all done in Oblodra's name, for the sake of her House, her family. She walked every step of the way, she experimented and iterated, failed and succeeded, she created… Not quite life, she hesitated to call it that, but maybe it was. Wasn't blood life-giving?
