Excuse me. Im just gonna curl up now and die.

(This was really well done!)

I've been reading through these stories and I want to know everything. It feels like I'm missing so much context. Does this happen after Denial? Is this the first time that Staldar told Yorashi that he loved him?

Sorry I didn't see this sooner!

I'm glad you're intrigued, and also sorry that they are quite taken outside of their original context due to the nature of how these stories came about. 😅 To quickly answer, yes, Reunion takes place some years after Denial, and this is the first time Staldar admits his feelings.

So, a more complete version of basically all of my writings regarding Staldar and Yorsashi, characters from a DnD Campaign called New Kyla, exist here: https://archiveofourown.org/series/1273661

As a bonus, the smut that is a mix of canon and just writing for fun is here: https://archiveofourown.org/series/1274699

Ah, thanks. I'll definitely read through these. Is there a chance the series will ever be finished..?

Unfortunately, not really, this is about as finished as it gets. This was all written during a period of my life where I had nothing but time and long periods in between sessions and was never meant to be standalone, it was always supplementary to us playing the campaign, and since that campaign has been finished for several years at this point (and we're in the middle of another, even longer campaign) and my life is very different now, I have no creative energy left for it. The TL;DR for the end of the timeline is everyone got a happy ending-- Staldar and Yorsashi and Cheeps move out of the city together as a little family unit. We half-joke that Staldar's a baker now, but I think the reality is he's just fully retired and is focusing on raising Cheeps and being a good partner to Yorsashi. Staldar gave Tosa Filkiati, signaling that he is done fighting.

I hope that's not too disappointing! 😅

No, it's okay. Glad they got an ending after all!
