Fics like Tales from Before the Tower

Before he was Specter Knight, he was Donovan, a small time thief in the village known as the Lich Yard. Then he met a runaway aristocrat named Luan, and both their lives were changed forever. A longform Donovan & Luan backstory fic. Tagged for character death, but if you played Specter of Torment, you knew that already lol. (he's literally named Specter Knight. nobody should be surprised) None of the other major content warnings apply, though. Updates every few days when I feel like it lol (EDIT June 2021 it's probably closer to once a week now, but this is still being actively updated) (EDIT: Now complete!)
