    Summary

    Svera knows her life isn't worth more than an entire race's freedom. But she also knows she can't let Raphael have the Crown of Karsus. Her solution? Offer up her soul for the Orphic Hammer, in place of the crown. It turns out the devil who's been obsessively tracking her is all too eager to accept her revised deal and when the curtain falls on the Absolute, Svera finds herself whisked away to the House of Hope as Raphael's shiny new plaything.

    Summary

    Working as a scribe for various criminal agencies wasn’t exactly the career you had in mind. After one too many close calls, you quickly learned that your talents were on the page—not on the battlefield. You had carved out a career for yourself, negotiating contracts for various crime lords.

    Soon, you were going to learn that the news of your talents hadn't traveled to the Upper City as you had hoped...they had reached much, much lower.

    Aka the one where you work for Raphael and are eventually smitten by the stupid tacky devil himself

    Summary

    The Feast of Heroes was meant to celebrate the efforts of common and special champions who took up arms against the threats that dared target the city of Baldur’s Gate. It would always include mention of some spectacular individuals that gave life and limb for their home. However, the legendary six were always at the forefront of these tributes, led by none other than the self-proclaimed leader of the group, pivotal in taking down the mind flayer threat.

    Lord Astarion Ancunín.

    Owner of the Ancunín Estate. Member of the Council of Four. All-powerful vampire ascendant.

    And the target of Althea’s emancipation pact.

    Summary

    Flame ettiquette.
    To fuel another’s flame is sensual, borderline seductive.
    To extinguish another’s flame is an insult, a slight to character.

    Lilith Savini—Daughter of Adamek, and novice wielder of Hellfire—has much to learn.
    And Raphael offers to be her most selfless, benevolent teacher.

    A Hellish Rebuke Alternate Universe.

    Summary

    Del landed somewhere on the Sword Coast seconds before dying, with only the clothes on her back and a few now useless items in her purse. When confronting the reality she was now faced with, she realized she was going to need to start her life all over again in a world she was only slightly familiar with. With no skills worthy of a life in Faerun, she must somehow relearn how to survive.

    When she finally does so, however, her world is turned upside down once again as she is pulled into a battle of a lifetime - a battle she’s fought before, but in a video game. Forced to run into familiar faces, retracing steps in a story she’s played before, Del struggles to maintain her facade. Her companions can never find out she’s done all of this before… and that she knows all possible branching paths the adventure could take them on. Can she keep her secrets to herself?

    ~

    Story starts about 8 years before the events of BG3, but only covers a couple chapters before resuming at the start of the game.

    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.

    Summary

    The darkness in the kennel is thick, suffocating. It reeks of rat piss and molding hay. Every instinct screams danger, though Halsin cannot yet make out what hunts him. His darkvision does not pierce the deepest corners, but he knows—oh, he knows—

    There’s something hungry here.

    After saving the world, Tav turns their attention to dismantling Cazador Szarr. But what they discover in the bowels of the Szarr palace is far more than a single corrupt noble.

    Summary

    You weren't surprised when you woke up in the pod - you always did. After every victory or death or failure, you woke up right as that mind flayer forced that tadpole into your eye. You killed the chosen three an infinite amount of times, destroyed the elder brain more times than you could count - died even more! And yet, no matter what you did, you always woke up at the very beginning.

    A lonely existence, for anyone, having to re-establish eternal loves and undying friendships all over again. It felt like a hopeless cause, having to play the same game over and over again. Resetting no matter how it ended. You thought it was an eternal, lonesome torture.

    Until you find out a certain devil is suffering in the same hell.

    Summary

    Gale Dekarious returns to his wife, Tav, in Waterdeep after a failed attempt to ascend to Godhood. Drama ensues.

    There's gonna be a bit of backstory and a lot of flashbacks. Writing gets better as it goes on; I was obsessed with cliffhangers in the beginning.

    Summary

    Even if the world started to burn and everything she loved fell to ash, she thinks she could hate him most of all.
    Even then.

    -

    Summary

    Gale was an eruption of movement before she could even finish, flinging the tome at her, the only thing saving her head from colliding with its thick spine was her quick reflexes.

    “Don’t,” he spat. The veins of lightning on his forehead pulsed, the orb tattoo on his chest seething with a purple light. “Don’t you dare speak of her as if you know her wishes.” His hateful expression crumbled, revealing something hurting underneath. “You think I want this?” He swung his arms wide, to the state of his room. “You think I want any of this? I wanted her. I wanted a life together with her. We planned for a life together. I had bought books for her, to carry back to Waterdeep. I took her to the market one day, and she picked out curtains for us.” His voice wavered and he paused, sucking in a breath between his teeth. “I wanted her. That was all I wanted. But...apparently that was no simple request.”

    “So what’s the plan here?” Shadowheart asked. She kept a wary eye out for any more flying tomes and gentled her tone. “Become a god and then, what? Bring her back?”

    She waited for him to laugh at the ridiculous notion.

    He didn’t, he only met her stare with his own.

    --

    Or Tav dies and Gale copes poorly.

    Act 1: The Underdark

    Summary

    Astarion sat on his throne, holding court in a posture that seemed to mock both the seat and the setting: leaning on one armrest, chin propped up on his palm, one leg thrown over the opposite arm, and an expression that suggested he could not possibly be more bored.

    OR

    Medieval-Glam-Rock-Bard!Tav skipped town after they smashed the Netherbrain and Ascendant Astarion *smashed her heart.*

    Now, five years later, maybe they'll get a cup of coffee and work things out.

    Nah, I'm lying this is a banter-aggressive, drama-heavy, fake dating courtship, slow-burnin' story informed by personal and shared trauma, identity, dysfunction, and the unresolved sexual tension that only a full-Lawful/Neutral-Evil Astarion vs. Mostly-Chaotic-Sometimes-Neutral Good Tav could produce.

    Hi~

    I said to myself, "Hey Lia, just stick to writing a couple of short paragraph drabbles for Halloween. Keep it light, keep it fun!"

    Then Haarlep grabbed my by the throat and told me to reconsider. That's how this fic got so long. They demanded satisfaction, and by the gods I want to give it to them.

    So, well, enjoy this little party~
