Summary
The last thing she remembers is her name on his lips and his thumb brushing away another tear before the world and all she’s fought for ends...
But only for a moment.
And then she's back on that ravaged beach, waking up to either save the world or destroy it all over again. Stuck in a loop of life and death that she can't figure out how to end, Tav enlists the help of the only wizard she trusts in Faerûn. He doesn't remember her, he never does, but she knows that somehow, he is the key to stopping this never-ending cycle. She just hopes that he can help her stop the dark, twisted urges within her long enough for them to actually save the world this time. -

Summary
When one stands before their own demise, people assume they’d be blessed with words of wisdom. Something that would convince them their time on this plane, however long that may have been, was worth it. What would have he said?
*Of having lived two centuries in nothing but darkness, at least my last breath was taken in freedom.*
Or maybe something less poetic, but just as profound.
*Oh, how I missed the sunsets. Who would have thought the end of something could be so beautiful.*
Nothing like that would actually have been said, of course. Only those deserving would have an ending to their story that could be written in prose and sung by bards for centuries to come. He, however, was the monster the hero would slay. The one prowling in the night, stalking. Hunting.
So when he leaned over Rhylia’s sleeping form, the bloodlust pulling at his limbs for him to inch closer, he didn’t think he’d be caught. Hells, he had charmed and seduced his way through so many… *bodies* before, it must be easier to feed on someone when they are sleeping. It was a cowardly way of going about it, but again, that’s what he was.
Astarion was a coward.

Summary
In the brutal world of the Baldur's Games, 24 tributes are chosen to fight to the death, and only one will survive. Nisha, selected for the 79th Games, has fought to stay alive her entire life—but now she faces a challenge that may very well be her end. Her mentor, Astarion, a charismatic winner of the 69th games, trains her in a brutal strategy: win the audience's favor to secure sponsorship, but show no mercy in the arena. He urges Nisha to eliminate her rivals early, never trust anyone, and never hesitate to kill.
As the Games approach, Nisha struggles with past and present feelings for Astarion, but he seems to have forgotten her. In a world where survival means sacrificing humanity, Nisha must decide if she really can do whatever it takes to survive. Will she outlast the bloodshed, or will the Games consume her—and everything she once was? The clock is ticking, and only one will emerge alive.

Summary
In her fractured memories, the plummet from the Nautiloid never ended - the aborted landing became a free fall that went on and on, until the very moment her boot hit the cobblestones of Wyrm's Crossing. From the first footstep onto the paved street, she felt as though a tuning fork inside her had finally struck the right note. The reverberations of her quiet footfall on stone, the scent of the river insinuating itself into each breath… They were the keys to the cipher that her mind had become.
Back on familiar streets, Scylla begins to piece together the fragments of her past with the help of her closest friend, an acerbic vampire spawn who's haunted by his own demons, and another man whose dark eyes call to something inside her that she recognizes but can only partially recall. Interwoven with the story of their beginning and the path to her downfall, Scylla must decide whether she will retake her place at his side to enact her Dread Father's vision or if she will defy gods and worldly powers to craft the world that will let them be together - by any means necessary.

Summary
“Isn’t there a way to reclaim my oath?” I asked, desperatetly. “Without it, the urges… the terrible things I might do… they’re too strong.”
The Knight’s burning eyes seemed to soften, if only slightly. “None are bound entirely by their bloodline,” he said, his voice distant. “You chose a path, made a pledge. Your god had no part in that.”
“My bloodline?” I asked, startled. “My god? Who do I follow?” Or more appropriately, who did I follow?
Instead of answering, the Oathbreaker Knight’s gaze shifted toward the shadows. I followed his eyes and noticed Withers standing silently nearby, watching us intently. The Knight nodded after a moment, as if understanding some unspoken truth.
“I cannot say,” the Knight admitted. “But I can tell you this: it is not who you are, but what you do that determines your oath.”
*** You don’t have to read Part 1 but Part 1 will have some spoilers and sets up this story. This story will closely follow Act 1, but begin to diverge in Act 2. It will cover the main events in Baldur's Gate so it will be long! Updated on Sundays! ***

Summary
“Ellia, it is a genuine pleasure.” He held his right hand out once more. She stared at the bandages, now slightly out of place by her pulling, and the slivers of exposed skin beneath: dark, purpling grey with a cracked-stone texture. Flashes of injuries and maladies skittered across her mind—nothing matched what she saw in him.
“I don’t want to hurt you,” she said with an indicating nod.
His smile turned wry. “Believe me, the damage there has already been done. But perhaps you’re right, and this will be better.” He swapped one hand for the other. A moment’s hesitation, then she accepted. His touch was warm. His skin more worn, more lived-in, than what she’d expected from a study-bound wizard. She wondered, dimly, what he felt in her hand. If the illusion would hold true under such direct connection, and what would happen if he realized who she truly was. But then his hand was gone and her wondering went with it. It didn’t matter. They wouldn’t be together long.
A novelization of BG3, reframed as a romance between Gale and a resistant Durge with alternating POVs. Elements of concept Gale. More Alfira. More Tara. More reactivity to Durge actions. Puns.

Kestrel MacDuff Writes a Bad Romance by avantegarda

Summary
If she wrote an honest story about her current circumstances, Kestrel thought, it would have to begin something like: Kestrel MacDuff, aged twenty-nine yet as naive as a child, was trapped on a ruined beach with a worm in her brain and maybe two days left to live. It was entirely her own fault, and there wasn’t much chance she’d get out of this intact.
Accurate, but not encouraging. -

This can't be real... can it? Surely she's having a psychotic break.
Tomorrow, she'll wake up and this will all be some kind of nightmare. She's sure of it.

Summary
Angsty, sweet, and fluffy chapter fanfic for my Gale lovers. (FemaleTav).
After becoming the savor of Baldur's Gate Tav joined her lover, Gale, back to his hometown of Waterdeep. Gale soon found himself working at Blackstaff Academy teaching the future wizards of the Sword Coast. The two newlyweds enjoyed their new domestic life together until a terrible accident unfolded at the academy.
Gale froze as he stared into the eyes of his lover. Certainly, she was joking, right? Tav had always used humor in the face of stressful situations. This, however, was neither the time nor place for such whimsy. When Tav never broke eye contact and asked a second time with more sincerity, Gale felt like his frantically beating heart was ripped right out of his chest.
"Do I know you?" Tav asked.
