Summary
The whole mission stretches out in front of me, crystal clear and extraordinarily horrifying. I’ve been thrown into the middle of the Absolute War, among the band of adventurers who brought it to a close, and there’s only one possible explanation: I’m supposed to have a crack at fixing the timeline. Specifically, at thwarting the rise of the God of Ambition. The very same God of Ambition who was just about to crush me into a shimmering cloud of dust motes when I was rudely yanked out of my physical and temporal location, stripped of my power, and dumped on my arse in a mind flayer pod eighteen years in the past.
As Chosen of the inscrutable God of Fate, Arabella has plenty of practice at being thrown in the deep end. But she’s never been handed a mission quite like this. Faced with the task of vanquishing not one, but two apocalyptic threats – the Netherbrain masterminding the Absolute cult, and one Gale of Waterdeep, wizard prodigy, former Chosen and nascent God of Ambition – she’s prepared to keep her wits about her, her identity hidden and her dagger ready to strike. But she’s reckoned without the fact that Gale Dekarios is a very different person from the deity he’s destined to become…

Summary
"There is a situation in Waterdeep. A wizard named Gale Dekarios. He has ... acquired something that poses a significant threat to the city."
"What are my orders?"
"Surveillance. Watch him. Monitor the situation. Report any changes in his condition or behavior. If the orb becomes too unstable, you are to enact this protocol."
"I understand the parameters of the mission, Father. I will not fail."
"May Mystra guide your steps,"
_______________________________He was only ever supposed to be a target, she became his savior. Together, they'll defy the gods, save the world, and claim their own seats in the pantheon.
(This one's for all the Mystra haters)
*A note on Elvish - there is no full D&D Elvish language so I'm just doing my best with whatever I can cobble together from the internet, we'll just go with it.

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.
<> Blood in Baldur's Gate and Shadows of Athkatla chapters included <>
NB: Chapters names marked with * have an optional, expanded NSFW version on my pseud (heartsong94).

Moonshadow by TheKeeperOfFate

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 promise to revisit Faerûn stirs those old desires, making Moonshadow yearn for a life he can never reclaim.

Summary
“I suppose it was foolish to expect a mortal to understand”
Those words wracked Tav's brain for something more than a year. After months spent with Gale by their side they would never expect such a kind man to regard her with such disdain? Hate? Nevertheless, they decided it would be best to be left alone and promptly separated from the saviors of Baldur's Gate they had grown to love. Some more than others.
Now in their solitude The God of Ambition had come to ask for a simple favor... -

The gods of the Forgotten Realms are bound for eternity – or for as long as they live – to their domains.
What is left behind?
This is a sonnet based around the Galetober prompt set created by artsywarden on Tumblr. My goal was to use all thirty-one prompts in a single poem.

Summary
What in the hells am I doing?
Gale had asked himself that question many, many times over the years, but it had never seemed as relevant as it did right then.
He was a god, for crying out loud.
And yet.
He was on his knees in front of Minthara, of all people. He wasn’t even sure how this had happened exactly. One minute they’d been at the reunion, chatting and conversing with their old friends, and the next Minthara had been leaning in, purring in his ear.
“Power suits you, Dekarios,” she’d whispered, her breath hot against his skin. “This glow…” She ran a hand across the exposed portion of his chest. “Beautiful.”

Summary
To be ensnared in the night by a stranger is embarrassing enough. But when that stranger claims to know the future and begs him to stop Gale from saving the world, Astarion feels himself the pawn of some cosmic joke.
