Fandom: Forgotten Realms/Legend of Drizzt
Pairing/Characters: Zanna Do'Urden & Niska Bentleaf
Content Notes: None
Prompt: March Thirty-First - Zanna & Niska are traveling together to Nesme

"Do you think I should use an illusion?" Zanna asked, toying with the reins of her summoned mount, watching the land around them, even if the road was so much safer now.

"Stars and trees, no!" Niska said, firmly casting that idea to the side. "If those asinine fools have not gotten past themselves in all these years, they can damn well shove it for this. You were as much a part of the defense as any of their Riders or our Knights."

Zanna grinned. "I thought I was supposed to be learning diplomacy."

"Not with these idiots," Niska avowed.

Title: Beach Memories
Fandom: Forgotten Realms/Legend of Drizzt
Pairing/Characters: Alustriel Silverhand & Zanna Do'Urden
Content Notes: None
Prompt: March Twenty-Sixth - Alustriel & Zanna at the beach

Alustriel watched her daughter scouring the sandy shores for the perfect shell. The girl was progressing rapidly in the Arts, studying with her and Niska and any mage that sat still long enough to be asked questions. It was as satisfying as teaching Mena had been, so many decades before.

She truly was lucky that Sam and Drizzt shared the care and raising of their daughter with her, and treasured these moments. Something told her she would need the memories of days like this against the storms ahead, and hoped they served Zanna well.

Somehow, she knew it was needed.
