Summary
Red, the Dark Urge, has a crush on Wyll, the Blade of Frontiers. Astarion is reluctant matchmaker.
Wyll Ravengard has been hunting monsters for a long time. One approaching him for help with redemption is a first, but he's not the sort of man to give up without a fight.
The vibe of this in-game fic is dark rom com, and the usual warnings for Dark Urge apply. Also not necessary to read the pre-canon story for this to enjoy. Go ahead and click for horrors and humor and horrible humor.

Summary
While Dame Aylin, Shield of Selune, has been trapped in the Shadowfell, her Sword battles the hells. That is, until he is nabbed by a passing nautiloid, gets a tadpole in his brain, and ends up saving the world with a mismatched group of strangers, only to be plucked from one realm and immediately sent to another by the Moonmaiden herself. Now the unlikely companions of Selune's second-pick paladin must navigate the mystery of where in the nine hells is their friend Tav?

While this can be read independently, I recommend starting with the Astarion POV series pieces before it.
Huge thanks to silverkleptofox for the updated summary!

Tav is keeping the party journal to practice common. The companions check his work.
NOTE: Not necessary to read the rest of the series to enjoy the shenanigans.
Warning - Tav's journal entries are a disaster by intention. He will improve, but I understand if this is not for you :)

Summary
“Lestat de Lioncourt,” Lily says, “is the best jockey I’ve ever drifted with. It's not even close. He’s brilliant and so fucking intense it feels like your brain’s on fire just standing next to him.”
“I’ve met intense jockeys before.” Paul was nobody's idea of a relaxing time, that was for damn sure.
“That’s the problem,” she says. “You’ll think he's normal. At first.”
“Lily…”
She cuts him off. “He will get inside your head, Louis. Not just through the Drift. By being him. He doesn’t do things halfway. He doesn’t feel things halfway, and with a guy like that, shit never ends cleanly, even if you make it out alive.”
Louis stares at her, his pulse suddenly loud in his ears. “Why are you telling me this?” he asks.
“Because,” she replies, “I think you’ve already decided you’re going to be his next partner.”

Summary
“My Maître would simply like the evening’s plans to go ahead without the reveal of a seam,” Armand simpers from his draped position on red velvet. “There’s much to discuss with the visiting provincial nobility he intends to host, as I’m sure you can imagine. Besides, at least the Prince is fairly predictable unlike some of our esteemed society fixtures. Even in these last years in titular exile, he has always been particular in his choice of accessory, has he not?”
And, well.
Louis would be hard pressed to deny that.
“Always has liked himself a blue-eyed blond.”
*
1787, Paris. Louis is a bourgeois man in the city with dreams of elevating his family name and securing his beloved siblings' futures through earning a title. While he has many businesses, it's his work as a pimp catering to the aristocrats of Versailles that he sees his path to social elevation, but when he falls fast and hard for Prince Magnus' prized courtesan, Lestat, things get - - complicated.

Summary
In 1923, The Vampire Lestat takes Hollywood by storm as a monstrous sex symbol for the black-and-white era. When his career ends in a mysterious tragedy, his legend fades, though a few devoted fans still carry the torch.
Decades later, jaded movie star Louis de Pointe du Lac agrees to upload his consciousness to a high tech computer program, in efforts to remake the 1935 swashbuckler classic Blood Reverie. But things get all too real when he meets his villainous “co-star”, an AI copy of the original Lestat de Lioncourt who seems more interested in wooing Louis than fighting him. You cannot script a hurricane.

Summary
Louis De Pointe du Lac had spent most of his life mastering restraint. Restraint in business. Restraint in anger. Restraint in desire. It worked beautifully right up until it didn’t.

Louis du Lac didn't expect to buy the handsome stranger that night.
