Summary
It's that time of year again in Fraiserton, and Clint's busy getting ready for an even bigger Fall Festival. Guests are arriving, friends returning, and Philip is organizing all of it. Between snowball fights and ogling his sexy husband, Clint's day is going well.
Sam Wilson has watched all his friends finding their bonded mates -- hell, Natasha, James, Steven, and Anthony were a foursome -- and he's pretty sure that's not meant for him. No, he's the kind who's just a friend even if he maybe wants to be more.
Andrew knows who he is and, most importantly, how he got to this place in his life. He has his work in the stables, taking care of Sleipner and Brook Lynn, and helping Bruce in the infirmary. Anything else is more than a guy like him could hope for.
Then an unexpected face appears and things get turned upside down by some demons. It turns out, some kinds of bonds take time to grow.
Chapter one was originally posted as part of Clint Coulson Appreciation Week 2024. Chapter 2 is being posted during CCAW 2025.

Summary
~
They had pretended that they could heal the past with a touch, that a kiss counted as forgiveness. And maybe it did, for her. But she is the one who left and the one who returned, already decided on what she wanted. He is the one who carries the burden of forgiving. Part of her wants to hold him close, so close that he has no choice but to let her in again.
But she knows him better than that.
~
It's been fifteen years since the fall of the Netherbrain, and eight years since Morgan set her foot in Baldur's Gate.
For the better part of a decade she has traveled Faerûn in search of the puzzle pieces to her past. For the better part of a decade she has hoped that piecing them together would grant her forgiveness for all the things she has done. Now she instead has to seek the forgiveness of the one she left behind.
Can they still find reconciliation, or has time changed both of them too much?

For one moment she was all blood, and in that moment he wanted to devour her.
two monsters stumble into camaraderie and try not to get themselves too bloodied. they fail spectacularly.
astarion/durge, solely astarion's pov. game reconstruction/divergence, no canon scenes or dialogue after the nautiloid. lots of art, updates fridays, semi pre-written. heavy on the trauma, heavy on the humour.

Summary
"The seats of the heavens shall shudder and break,
The thrones of the hells shall crack and shake.
Through orb’s shadow and crown’s flame, balance is spun—
The Chosen work unseen, and the new age is begun.So sayeth the wise Alaundo."
---
Before Moonshadow, God of the Eclipse, there was Vesper; A half-drow "child" of Bhaal destined to end divinity with the Chosen of Bane at his side.
That was, until his beloved half-sister (thankfully) divested him of his Chosen mantle (rather violently) and set in motion the events that would ultimately lead Vesper to Gale Dekarios, a charming wizard who claimed his heart (almost instantly).
In this collection of one-shots, follow Ves as he, Gale and their companions set out to find a cure for their parasites as well as uncovering the hidden depths of the Cult of the Absolute that holds the key to Ves' shadowed past.
WARNING: This is a Resist!Durge fic, but even so there will be lots of violence, blood, gore and bouts of madness.

Summary
She smiled sweetly at him. “Still not happy about travelling with a pig?”
“No, no.” He assured her, relaxing a modicum once his dagger was safely sheathed at his hip. “The pig is great. A blood-thirsty, monster-stomping pig. She’s darling, let’s keep her.”
Since she was a child, Shay's increasingly less-than-idyllic life in Baldur's Gate was haunted by a pale, red-eyed stranger lurking in the shadows. When she found the very same man on a beach, drenched in sunlight and infected with the same parasite that now wriggled in her own brain, she was forced to set aside her dreams of vengeance in hopes of surviving another day. They did survive – not just the next day but for many more after – forging an alliance that forced Shay to confront the possibility that there was more to the man than she thought.

Summary
"The shadowed sun shall wed broken dusk,
The Weaves shall fray, the gods shall rust.
Through strife and love, all realmspace to save—
The eclipse endures, though all else may fade.So sayeth the wise Alaundo."
---
First, there was Ves—a half-drow bard hopelessly in love with Gale Dekarios, the wizard from Waterdeep. Their bond, born of shared trials across the Sword Coast, was unbreakable. So deeply did Ves love Gale that he sacrificed everything, even his mortal life, to remain by his side.
Now, as Moonshadow, God of the Eclipse, he is Gale’s divine partner, yet feels like a shadow in the path of Gale’s relentless ambition. Ascension has become a burden, and Moonshadow longs for the simplicity of his mortal life—of simply being Ves, Gale’s lover, free of celestial duties.
A long overdue visit to Faerûn stirs those old desires, making Moonshadow yearn for a life he can never reclaim. Watching Gale grow distant in his climb to power, Moonshadow questions if his sacrifice was in vain. Caught between love and a longing for lost mortality, can Moonshadow continue as the shadow of Gale’s ambition, or will his own desires lead him down a path of no return, even for a minor deity?
