Summary
In my Rime of the Frost Maiden campaign, all of us PCs have secrets from the party -- this is my character's secret backstory. I'm posting it here because I can't share it with my party.
Neve Therem is an up-and-coming bard from a small town in the far north who's recently settled in Baldur's Gate. When a chance encounter with a half-elf named Alrith leads to love, Neve will do whatever it takes to make the relationship work -- even taking on the strange organization of nobles that Alrith works for.
Based on "The Runaway Author" secret from Rime of the Frost Maiden!

Dungeons & Sea Dragons | Changing Tides by KRTobiasAO3

Summary
I’m a Half-Elf with more secrets than most people have regrets.
Magic runs through my veins like a storm begging to be unleashed, and I’ve wielded it to survive—first as a nameless street rat, then as something far more dangerous.
A criminal? Sure.
A sorcerer? Without a doubt.
But I’ve never been just the titles they gave me.This isn’t a tale of noble heroes or shining swords.
It’s the story of a kingdom built on broken promises and forgotten truths—where the gods of the depths and the skies alike wage their silent wars through mortal lives.
It’s the story of a storm, long brewing in the shadows, finally rising to claim its name—my name.
And as it crests, it threatens to drag the world beneath the waves with it.They say the tides are always changing.
But no one ever warns you when they start changing you.Series

Summary
Daisy the rogue never ever loved Eloric the cleric. Absolutely not. After all, who needed feelings? Certainly not her. Certainly not him, either.
It was just the booze.
That was it. She was just drunk. He was drunk. That was the only reason either of them lost any of their clothes...
...and why they even ended up in bed together in the first place.

Summary
UNDERGOING EDITS.
SUMMARY:
I wish for you to stay with me forever.
On the pirate isle of Darktow, a wish is made and a story begins. Across the seas of the Menagerie Coast and the worlds beyond, the girl born from that wish will go to the very end of everything...or the salvation of it.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
This is a novel-length original fanfiction, the first of a 5-part series. It takes place in the first two parts in the setting of Exandria, moving later to the greater world of Faerun and other planes of existence within the D&D universe, and will revisit Exandria eventually. This series revolves around original characters, and does not feature Critical Role characters other than the possibility of brief mentions. It does heavily feature the setting, gods, and other themes of Exandria, particularly in the first two books, and some connections to the greater story (i.e. the mention of Ruidiusborn).While I'm always excited to chat with actual readers, I am NOT open to being solicited for sales pitches of AI 'art', 'comics', etc. I am against all forms of generative AI.

Summary
«Shiroi found that he did not feel any sympathy for Kazumi. It was quite possible that she would bleed out before the altar, body going cold in the light of the setting sun. And yet still, he felt nothing for her. All he felt was the pain in his own body, slightly tempered only by the satisfaction of his own endurance and show of strength before the entirety of the Scarlet Sanctum.»

The backstory of Shiroi Kiseki, the white tiefling, ruthless Head Disciple of the Scarlet Sanctum. Vignettes of various moments of his life.
