Summary
The weak arms, the terrible posturing, the frailty. The waist-high size, the enormous eyes, only made bigger with their continuously apprehensive look. Was it that their eyes were big, or that Tav, generally, was small?
The way forward wasn’t the place for the weak. That could just as easily mean it was neither for children.Or: Tav is a child. That changes everything – and not much at all.
Watch as a team of full-grown adults are incompetent at parenting! It'll work out – probably. -

Summary
When your parents invite you and the heroes who saved the city, you already know it's going to be a disaster. Because you are not exactly on speaking terms with most of those people.
But you didn't save the world on your own. There is one hero left, and you'd be lying if you didn't emotionally blackmail him into doing this. You might even have promised to listen – just listen – to his list of all the reasons why he should turn you into a mind flayer.Or: You invite the Emperor to a family dinner. What follows are a few misunderstandings, many lies, and an unexpected truth

Summary
Being kidnapped by Mind Flayers is only the second-worst thing to ever happen to Szeryn. Unfortunately, things just keep happening; an elven rogue who looks like winter incarnate refuses to leave them alone, they are now traveling with a Sharran, everyone is keeping secrets, and they are being hunted down by a strange new cult.
Looming shadows of a past they hardly remember begin to haunt their dreams as they get closer to piecing everything together, and Szeryn begins to have a very bad feeling of where this journey will lead them.
But at least they're no longer bored.Series

Summary
After the defeat of the Netherbrain a century ago, Aldelthenn has carefully avoided Baldur's Gate. They split their time between Waterdeep and Evermeet, focus on work, and more or less artfully change the topic anytime Astarion is brought up.
Bound by a promise and their own feelings, they see the monster Astarion has become but won't turn on him.
Astarion has cemented his power in Baldur's Gate and is beginning to look beyond the city's bounds, while enjoying the benefits of his station. His resentment of Aldelthenn's rejection still burns, but so does a vampiric obsession with the person so pivotal in his becoming, and perhaps - if he were to consider such things - a longing for the quiet moments they shared.
As they attempt to negotiate new terms for their relationship, both must decide whether their feelings are worth immortality.TL;DR: Great writing on AA, thanks Larian, I hate it and I must destroy these feelings. I want Astarion to have more than one chance to get it right and heal. Set a little over a century after game events so I don't have to relive my frustration about True Resurrection not working.

Summary
Faun awakens to a sky on fire.
The verdant floor of the Forgotten Forest is nowhere to be seen. Gone is the lush moss, the beds of wildflowers. Gone is the dense canopy of shadowtop trees that normally eclipses her sun. It hurts her eyes, this sudden influx of angry red light; it causes thin tears to stream down her cheeks from the unfamiliar intensity, blurring her vision until she has to swipe at them with dirty hands.
The ground beneath her is the slick, shifting black of an oil spill, and jagged cracks of quartz shoot up like tiny knives to slice at her bare skin. The air reeks of sulfur, and pools of lava bubble and belch distressingly near to her; in the distance, a wine-dark river stretches past the horizon and further still.
She’s in Avernus, she knows; she just doesn’t understand how she got here.
—
The Nautiloid never makes it out of Avernus. This is the story of how the party crawls their way out of Hell, led by a silent tiefling druid and the vampire who reluctantly falls in love with her.

Summary
In theory it seemed to go up, life had a better outlook for Karlach. She had found allies, a cure for her condition almost in her grasp but… life was never that easy and somehow everything rested in the hands of that one artificer.

The past can be haunting, very haunting and with that many death threats looming over all of them they had to work together, they just had to and Karlach would prove it, she would genuinely prove to Thauthia that she was worth saving. it was her only option.Dev’s glittery trauma ranking; 6/10 glitterbombs

Summary
“If your secrets aren't dangerous, why hide your true face?”
“Danger isn't the only reason to hide.” He says, soft and sharp as kitten claws, “Why let your goddess take your memories?”
It's her turn to glare, “I don't like what you're insinuating. Giving my memories up- that was an act of trust in the divine. It has nothing to do with hiding.”
“You understand, then. There are parts of your being that you decided were only fit to be seen by the person you hold in the highest regard.”
A glimmer of recognition sparks behind Shadowheart's eyes, “And who do you hold in the highest regard?”

Or, my Tav fails to hide his nightmares and must finally open up to someone else about his past.

Summary
After the defeat of the Absolute, the Archduke proposes a marriage of convenience, and the Hero of Baldur's Gate considers it a job title.
In which Gortash thinks he can make a damsel of Tav and wield her as a ploy to remain in power, only to realize that he's actually the one getting flustered, and that he had an entirely misguided image of Tav. What he (and many) believed to be a bubbly and righteous Hero a dime a dozen, is no whimsical Faerie-touched, but rather a socially inept hard-head so blasé and straightforward she could knock a mountain askew.
Contains misunderstandings, unhealthy ideas of relationships, faux-pas to the n'th, and certainly no development of any feelings whatsoever, totally.
All's well that ends... not as bad as it could've
