New fic cover! Additions to the Beehive by @20dimensionsoftangerine

What would happen if one very Heliolic family fostered two peculiar high elves? So, so much…

fig—— sandra lynn, gilear, jawbone, hallariel, gorthalax

gorgug—— wilma, digby, gorbag, roz

kristen—— mac, donna, jawbone, sandra lynn(?? by proxy ig)

fabian——bill, hallariel, gilear

adaine—— angwyn, arianwyn, jawbone, sandra lynn (by proxy)

riz—— sklonda, pok, gorthalax

the basic au takes place sophomore/junior year and yes i am taking the creative liberty of making all the parents the same ages for this to work

so the sophomore year party consists of;

sandra lynn- wood elf ranger (beastmaster subclass, but no baxter yet); daughter of two people who aren't divorced but 1000% should be; pre- full punk rock crash out stage but definitely on the way there

sklonda - goblin rogue (mastermind subclass); an only child but also biiiiig eldest daughter energy; defacto leader of the party but not outright saying it; actively suppressing the urge to slap one of her party members at all times

digby - gnome artificer (armorer subclass); isn't really interested in being an adventurer but augefort is the best place to learn artificing in solace; comes 90% of the time with his delightful childhood sweetheart wilma, and yes saying childhood sweethearts about sophomores in high school is insane but hey, if the shoe fits

hallariel - high elf fighter (banneret subclass); literally just enrolls for a year to see if her father will notice she's missing, spoiler alert, he doesn't; tells everyone she's the leader of her party and they all just kind of let her because she might be spoiled but she's the best swordsman at augefort and like, what's the harm; joins the party because she made out with sandra lynn at a party a few days before the year started

arianwen - high elf wizard (conjuration subclass); should have been headed to kei lumennura but pissed off her fallinel government parents enough that as punishment they tasked her with retrieving hallariel; absolute shit at any form of teamwork but can't fully abstain from participating because she wants everyone to know how much better she is than them

mac - human paladin (path of devotion); didn't want to be in this party and they didn't want him either; assigned to them sophomore year because he didn't have a party and the faculty was genuinely worried without a healer they'd end up a tpk by the end of the year; generally off-putting and making it everyone else's problem

sophomore year ends, hallariel and arianwen go back to fallinel, mac transfers to a school in high court, and now the party is down a heavy hitter, a healer and a caster

additionally sklonda and sandra lynn start dating because their relationship is a piece of time quangle canon you can pry from my cold dead hands 🤭

now enter;

lydia - half orc barbarian (ancestral guardian subclass); grew up in a multi-generational home and is probably the most well-adjusted person in her party; track and field star, i just know she kills at whatever the spyre equivalent of shotput is; her passion for actually becoming an adventure is rivaled only by sandra lynn; her and digby switch off hosting duties for the party

jawbone - human cleric (light domain); pre-werewolf jawbone is so Just A Guy coded to me; has an older brother he kinda loves and kinda hates but is leaning more to the later as his brother gets more and more helioic; definitely has a thing for sandra lynn and is trying to be super respectful about it

and also

jawbone - human fighter (champion subclass); i need to be very clear, jawbone is not multi classing, he is actively starting over and retraining those levels like, every semester; just absolutely unmoored and trying to decide what to do, realizing adventuring in the traditional sense might not be for him; unknowingly at first helps sandra lynn cheat on sklonda and then knowingly continues to help her cheat through the end of the year
