    Summary

    I wanted it to be published on ResearchGate, but they declined, so I made an account on AO3. Just kidding, it’s a fantasy story.

    Summary:
    Infected with an alien larva that will overwrite her body, Talula — a wizard whose spellcasting has grown rusty — has only days, a kleptomaniacal companion, and her analytical mind to find a cure, but each of her well-considered decisions breeds a worse disaster.

    Notes:
    – Tav1 (Talula) is tadpoled and Tav2 (Yu-On) isn’t, to have two characters to interact with the world from different perspectives.
    – All other OCs are my other Tavs who needed to be honoured as well, but they got only roles of “the mob” for completing the side quests and driving the plot forwards, since Tav1 is a confused fellow.
    – There are no canon party companions because this story is devoted to the Emperor, out of my disappointment with how he has been sidelined by the game developers. Source: the game Baldur’s Gate III and the Queer Politics of Monstrosity

    Summary

    “Tara. What in the Nine Hells happened to my beard?”

    Gale had gone on a great adventure with a band of tadpoles misfits to save the world from the Absolute. That much, he was certain of. So why and how did he find himself back in Waterdeep, a year before that whole venture, and just days away from committing the mistake of a lifetime? Did the friends from his vision indeed exist? Or better yet, did they remember? What could it all mean?
    A bit of time traveling shenanigans and the threat of Absolutists to defeat anew... But just how much does everyone recall from that glimpse into the future exactly? Find friends and foes alike back in an adventure with much more to offer than you’d first wager!

    Summary

    In which The Dark Urge is messed up in the head, and Astarion's plan for tempting her into sex goes awry, but not entirely.

    Warning: brief, playful mentions of murder / su*cide, but no violence occurs

    Also, this is my first time ever posting here, so I'm trying to get a handle on all appropriate tags/warnings/etc. Forgive me please if I've done this wrong.

    Summary

    "There is a situation in Waterdeep. A wizard named Gale Dekarios. He has ... acquired something that poses a significant threat to the city."

    "What are my orders?"

    "Surveillance. Watch him. Monitor the situation. Report any changes in his condition or behavior. If the orb becomes too unstable, you are to enact this protocol."

    "I understand the parameters of the mission, Father. I will not fail."

    "May Mystra guide your steps,"
    _______________________________

    He was only ever supposed to be a target, she became his savior. Together, they'll defy the gods, save the world, and claim their own seats in the pantheon.

    (This one's for all the Mystra haters)

    *A note on Elvish - there is no full D&D Elvish language so I'm just doing my best with whatever I can cobble together from the internet, we'll just go with it.

    Summary

    Baldur’s Wall: Behind the Wall is a mockumentary-style collection of transcripts, interviews, rehearsal footage, and recovered production notes from a rock opera that absolutely should not have existed—and yet somehow did.

    Years after the original Baldur’s Wall rock opera was written, a chaotic ensemble of heroes, villains, scholars, and self-appointed directors attempt to document how it all came together. What begins as a behind-the-scenes retrospective quickly unravels into conflicting memories, theatrical egos, inexplicable casting decisions, and the growing realization that the Wall itself may have been more than metaphor.

    Told through unreliable narrators, fragmented footage, and increasingly questionable production choices, Behind the Wall explores what happens when myth becomes performance, performance becomes truth, and no one is entirely sure who was supposed to be in charge.

    This is not the story of the show.

    This is the story of everything that went wrong—and somehow still mattered.

    Summary

    It all started with the Nautiloid. There was a before, certainly. Isotta had been a scholar and a storyteller—an ethnographer—but not a mage. She had traveled the whole of Faerûn, exploring and cataloguing the people who called the material plane home. Where a wizard might hoard knowledge, Isotta sought to share it. Everything around them was all just one big story, after all.

    There was also a magnificent wizard named Rolan who had the misfortune to be born a tiefling. He also had the misfortune to meet a bard who claimed to be a scholar, named Isotta. Despite his best efforts to evade her, she repeatedly inserted herself into his life until he finally had no choice but to tell her he loved her, in his own way, and ask her if she might love him too—because why else could someone be so insistent on meddling if not for love? And then, dear reader, she rejected him.

    Summary

    “Ah! Gale, my good fellow, perfect timing!” he boomed, spinning on one heel and pointing toward the bed. “Your mother and I have just—well, finalized everything! The ceremony was splendid, the catering delightful, the enchanted floral arrangements positively divine! And now we are married! Legally, spiritually, and in every conceivable manner that matters!”

    Summary

    Many times in your life you’d been cautioned about rooting through any old chest. Many times you’d elected to entirely ignore that sage wisdom in favour of chance, the potential that you might find something of value that others had left behind. Didn’t those same wise people preach waste not, want not anyway? Besides, a refugee from Elturel like yourself with barely any possessions should be entitled to at least something to begin your life anew.

    And even though far more recently you had been cautioned by a passing wizard that even books might be dangerous, it hadn’t stopped you from picking up the leatherbound tome that rested on your lap.

    Your fingers traced over the cover, embossed with delicate gold, swirling patterns matching the ornate scripting that gave the author’s name – Volothamp Geddarm.

    What secrets does Volo's book hold? And why does the very thought of reading on make your heart flutter in your chest?...

    Summary

    It's the dawn of a new decade where leotards, animal print clothes, leather, neon lights, and arcades rule, but what lurks in the shadows beneath the neon lights?

    80s AU of BG3. Not canon. This is the product of sleep deprivation, good vibing music, and brainrot fueled by Shadowlach.

    Summary

    Astarion is familiar with the controversy surrounding intimacy coordinators. Some believe their skills to be useless and unnecessary, and that their presence delays filming, distracts the cast, and disrupts the screenwriter and director’s intent.

    But apparently Volo has faith that this man can provide some sort of worth to his film set, and Astarion feels inclined to agree, but only in the sense that Gale Dekarios, self-proclaimed most sought-after intimacy coordinator on the Sword Coast - is hot.

    Summary

    Baronet Dekarios is a man of science, but the supernatural is as much a science as anything else, isn't it? He's also a man in need of a new patron. So, when an old university friend offers entrance to a party held by one of England's most secretive societies — a club of the country's richest men, rumored to dabble in the occult and the satanic — he sees the opportunity to kill two metaphysical birds with one stone. And all he needs to do to gain entry is secure the approval of the club's mysterious leader, the enigmatic Lord Ancunin.

    Summary

    Read Lore's Journal from when he travelled through Faerûn, during the Absolute Crisis.

    You find a thick leather-bound journal, held together by a leather cord that's wrapped around it.
    Its spine is broken and has been fixed many times, some pages seem loose, almost falling out of it when you carefully unwrap the cord.
    “The Absolute Crisis” is written on the cover, underneath, in smaller letters: “Journal property of Lore, the Bard.”
    You recall that name, from somewhere in your mind, one of the Heroes of the Gate.

    He can sleep with one eye open for all eternity, if it means he can make his chance at freedom count.
