Gen Fics with Reunions

It's nice to be able to get the folks back together. This time, we've got eight fics that feature reunions - parents, siblings, and long lost friends. Check them out beneath the cut, and as always - comment or kudos if you like them!

Laudna and Bella catch up 20 some odd years later after a chance encounter at a casino in Kymal.

Old Friends and New by AstoriaColumnStaircase (4133,General)

Warnings: None

Pairings: Laudna & Bella, Laudna/Imogen Temult

Reccer says: It's a fun look at a future version of Bella, and it's cathartic to think about Laudna being able to interact with that part of her unlife without pain.

Someone had opened a portal in the tree.

A Long Awaited Reunion by Settai (520,Teen)

Warnings: None

Pairings: Keyleth & Vilya

Reccer says: Oh my entire heart - this is the fic I wanted to read after watching that episode

No One by That Name Lives Here Anymore by Operafloozy (13138,Teen)

Warnings: None

Pairings: Essek Thelyss & his father, Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast

Reccer says: Operafloozy is great at dysfunctional family interactions, and this is a really uncomfortable but extremely human.

Her son returns with a new set of friends after months away, notably missing a handsome blue-skinned bard with a shy smile and a loving gaze who never took his eyes off of Orym, and Alma is a mother after all, and a mother has a way of knowing things.

I'm on the mend, but I lost a friend by Multifandom_damnation (1713,General)

dreaming with my eyes open by breitweisergallery (4414,Teen)

Reccer says: I liked it

Three hundred years after the Red Solstice, a much-changed Deirta Thelyss seeks out her son for the first time in centuries and finds herself greeted by an unfamiliar face: Essek's current partner. It's an unexpected turn of events and Essek is must-changed himself, when he arrives, but perhaps there is a chance at healing left for the two of them.

looking for the meaning of life by quinn_of_aebradore (15281,Teen)

Warnings: Implied character death (due to happening far in the future)

Pairings: Deirta Thelyss & Essek Thelyss, Essek Thelyss/OMC

Reccer says: It allows Deirta and Essek to both be complicated and change, which I enjoy!

imogen saying “[liliana] would’ve come.” and laudna saying “I think it’s smart to give her this opportunity to prove herself.” and imogen saying “I think she doesn’t support ludinus, I do believe that now.”

me? tired of imodna bending over backward to excuse liliana? you bet (bonus: laudna telling imogen “you’ve been without your mother for so long,” yeah and orym’s been without his father and his husband, and nel has been without her husband and her son, and baernie, leeta, and maeve have been without their father and their brother)

keyleth gesturing toward baernie and orym and saying “for the history of the ashari, there are those who truly give everything for the future of our people, for the future of our realm. I'm but one of many. and today, we welcome a few more. faced with terrifying odds and long, ancient, corrupting evils, some of our brethren gave their lives that we might live, so that I might live to ensure that we will be safe and there is a future for the ashari people. I ask you all to celebrate this evening our surviving heroes, and remember those who did not return, but will be forever remembered.” keyleth 'inspiring leader feat' of the air ashari standing in front of her people and giving a beautiful, powerful speech,,, no one touch me
