Summary
Five years is a long time for a human. An eighth of Gale Dekarios’ entire existence, yet still not long enough to forget that which he desperately wishes he could. The weight of time serves only to chain him to that moment, restored and unmade simultaneously.
Five years is the blink of an eye for an elf, and hardly even that for a vampiric one. Still, Astarion Ancunin wants nothing more than to go back and play that moment in time on repeat, until he's memorized every detail. Maybe if he could, he'd finally be able to put two centuries of torment to rest.
They must decide what they're willing to do to escape their respective prisons and come to terms with what they've already done. When two sides of the same coin are melted through and forced to intermingle, they will be forced to open their eyes. Is it worth it?

Summary
In a sleepy village on the Savage Frontier, a timid drow woman spends her days teaching a farmer's son how to play the flute. But when a nautiloid appears in the sky, the quiet life she's built for herself is thrown into chaos. Alone and infected with a mindflayer parasite, she's determined to find her student before she turns: even if that means forging new alliances with the strange group of survivors she finds along the way.
Adventure, drama and slow burn romance that (loosely!) follows the events of Act 1 of Baldur's Gate 3.
Latest Chapter: The company waits for Astarion to wake. And waits. And waits some more. Then- Halinae receives a visitor, and has a realization.

Summary
Can you love someone wholly, completely, entirely - if you can’t truly love yourself? You can certainly try. Maybe even succeed for the most part. But deep down… beneath it all… doubt will fester and rot.
It doesn’t matter though, it can’t. Because he is your fate. You know this. So, if you’ve found where you’re meant to be, why does the universe seem keen to destroy that?
They say that fate cannot be outrun, rewritten, or truly known. Still, you’re sure that there are those that wish to test those limitations. But… is there some form of protection against such forces? A failsafe to keep fate in its rightful place?
Perhaps.
Though perhaps not. At least, not one that isn't without fault nor consequence.
In other words:
Once again, god meddling wreaks havoc on our favorite boys.

Summary
"If you even attempt to bite me, you die immediately."
"Bite."
"No."
"No bite." It swayed slightly, attempting to maintain its balance. Its head must be quite heavy.
Astarion grabbed it under its armpits, surprisingly heavy for a creature of it's size, and lifted it from the ornate chest, placing it gingerly on the ground.
It scampered barefoot across the grimy floor with quiet plaps. Arriving at Tav—Gods, it was only as tall as her hip—it gripped the hem of her tunic. It spun around on one heel, nearly toppling over with the inertia, to address Astarion. It removed the fingers from its mouth with a horrible wet sound and took a deep breath, or what must be deep for something so tiny.
“Go go?”
--
the "you're gonna walk in the sun if its the last thing i do" kidfic absolutely no one asked for, least of all from me.

Summary
Failure. Unbearable failure.
The heartbreak is worse than your wounds, worse than the angry teeth in your flesh, worse than knowing you are moments from death.
You will die having failed. Your vow broken.
The vision is already fading, but you haven’t seen enough yet. You force your Sight to remain open, to at least capture more of the eyes that seem to be the source of your torment.
They belong to a man, a beautiful one, with silver hair and pointed ears. An elf. A spawn.
The vision snaps closed.

Sequel to Unraveling! Astarion has finally reached Tav, but things only get more complicated from there.Series

They called her the Whore of Cormyr. Once a royal courtess, a war hero, the blade that shattered empires — now a traitor, exiled, and stripped of her power. But in Faerûn, even the fallen don’t stay buried for long.

Summary
Ed leaned forward and put his head in his hands. “This is ridiculous. You know that, right?”
“Eh, I think you’ve done weirder things.”
“Weirder than marrying a paladin and infiltrating a cult together?”
Holga shrugged. “You’ve done a lot of weird things. Don’t make me list them all.”

Summary
There comes a day in every man's life when he has to look at the circumstances of his existence and decide whether he wants to keep fighting.
For Ed, that day comes when the frost giants attack Bryn Shander.
"We are getting the fuck out of Ten Towns," he tells Holga.
When frost giants attack the city of Bryn Shander in 1491, Ed and Holga make the decision to take Kira and make the perilous journey south to Mornbryn's Shield, where they hope to start a new life away from the unpredictable Ten Towns and the memory of Edgin's wife. Along the way they meet a paladin of Ilmater who agrees to escort them as far as Mirabar, setting off a chain of events that will have Ed questioning his beliefs, evaluating his relationship with his daughter, and perhaps even let him heal enough to finally find happiness again.

Summary
"For Savras's sake, can you finally listen?" the purple man was crouching, his hands grabbing onto Oscar's shoulders. His lips were parted, showing his sharp teeth.
"What are you?" Oscar questioned, moving backwards, trying to get away from the bigger man, and his big hands and his big, sharp nails (claws). His runaway plan ended when he felt his back hit the headboard. The sweat was prickling on his back and his hands, a hot heat of anxiety overcoming him.
"Really? That's the first thing you ask, when you just appeared right in front of me, almost naked, may I add? I knew elves were racist, but damn," he clicked his tongue, it making a weird, unnaturally dry sound.
"I'm not an elf," was all Oscar said, even though the sentence should be more of a 'what do you mean an elf?' or 'elves exist?' or 'what the fuck is going on?', but that's neither here nor there.
OR: All Oscar wanted to do was go to his job, talk bullshit with his coworkers and come back home. Instead, he woke up in someone else's bed, with a purple man right next to him (the said man being Lando, that is).

Summary
* * *
His eyes drop to her mouth, and his thumb reaches out to trace her bottom lip.“What would you do,” Astarion asks, voice a low whisper, “if I kissed you right now?”
June may have realized she sees him as a friend, but that doesn’t stop her from playing his game. She doesn’t think he hates her anymore, but she doesn’t think he’s actually interested in her, either.
So she smiles, expecting that he’ll back down when she calls his bluff. He’s never followed through before, after all. Why should now be any different?
“Why don’t you find out?” she asks.
* * *Between the nightmares, prophetic visions, and violent hallucinations, June is losing grip on reality, but she has enough awareness to know that Astarion's flirtation is part of some sort of con. He barely even likes her, after all. When she decides to call his bluff and play along, thinking he'll back down, she's surprised to discover that she and the vampire have more in common than either could have anticipated. And his touch might be the only thing that can keep her sane.
(kissing starts in chapter 12, smut starts in chapter 21)

Summary
It has been one full year since the fall of the Netherbrain. Minthara and you live in the Lower City in Baldur's Gate, building a new life for yourselves. In secret, the both of you are weaving a web of intrigue to grow your power within the city.
♛
Minthara's ending in the game has always felt more like a beginning, so this fic is my way to scratch that itch. The Nightwarden's Web is a second person narrative from the perspective of a female half-drow protagonist. The focus is heavily on romance, but there are large elements of violence and intrigue. The chapters are mostly episodic — some are more fluffy, some more action-packed, some more dialogue-heavy. There are some spicy bits sprinkled in, but it never gets very explicit.

Summary
Welcome to the Shadowcursed Lands. We have evil monsters, tormented souls and plain pure bad luck. When things take a dark turn and your demons come out to play, don't blame us. You had your fair warning.
Sorry, no. No, you can't put them back. In fact, we'd like to join them and feast on your fears too.
But do tell us, though. What are you going to do about it?---
Nyx shifted her focus away from the curse. Shadowheart was negotiating with Astarion for Lathander's mace.
He was being purposefully difficult, "And why should I?"
"Because I asked nicely. Besides you can't use it properly."
"Hah! I'm sure I just need to swing it in the direction of the monsters."
"That being the problem. I can do a lot more with it and I don't even need to swing it."
"True as that may be, darling. I still haven't heard what's in it for me."
Shadowheart rolled her eyes, "Other than your odds of survival increasing dramatically?"
He tilted his head considering, "I can think of a few ways to achieve that without handing over anything."
Shadowheart glanced pointedly at Nyx, making a face.
Nyx snorted, What? Just because we 'snogged' doesn't mean I get to tell him what to do.Series

Summary
Kang Yeosang is a Witch on the cusp of Graduation at the prestigious Coven of Silverhand. In order to Graduate, Yeosang must summon a Demon and bond with them, showing mastery over his magic. Following the disappearance of Park Seonghwa the year before (who had summoned the King of Demons) Yeosang is surprised to see that the Coven is continuing with its ages-old tradition.
On All Hallow’s Eve, Yeosang summons the Lovers, Wooyoung and San, two of the most powerful Demons in Hell. This is surprising for two reasons: 1) the Coven restricted the components to only summon low level Demons, and 2) Yeosang is wearing the amulet that should bind the Demons to him. Now he belongs to San and Wooyoung…
…who are intent on keeping Yeosang all for themselves.

Danse Macabre : when good meets evil by Oxena

Summary
As a young elf from a quaint, full of magic city called Silverymoon, Datura had barely any idea what an actual evil was. Her family dreamed of her becoming their pride – an archmage known across the whole Faerûn. Stumbling upon a certain name during her studies of arcane magic made her life took a completely different route.
She wanted to defeat the devil and was determined to use her magic to do so, but getting abducted by Mind Flayers had put a temporal end to her plans. While looking for a cure to the tadpole problem, she met with a familiar name.
It was him she had been looking for the entire time.
It was him she wanted to kill in revenge for all the souls he had taken.
But at least part of her feelings towards him had changed. Her feelings shifted to the other end of the spectrum. She hadn't expected Raphael to be so theatrical in the most artistic way; to be sensitive under scorching hot devil skin. It was that moment when she felt like she betrayed her own values.
Because what's worse than the devil you know? A devil you don't.
