Summary
Ludmilla has concerns when it comes to her patron.
“Clearly,” he says, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, “you want my attention.” His nails, sharp now like the claws of a beast, run down the length of her face, mimicking her earlier gesture. “You have it.”

The Keeper Of Roses by OhMyBardess

Summary
I once saw a post on reddit that Escher (given the minimal information about him in the book) could be from the Wachter family, and I really liked this idea. This is an alternative backstory of Escher, which is accompanied by my vision of both this character and the campaign. It's also intertwined with the backstory of the character I played. This work is written in the format of a series of memories about the childhood, adolescence, and formation of a boy who was sold by his parents to Ravenloft. About how he managed to survive. About what he learned. About his close acquaintance with a dark-haired fanged person. How he got his ring with roses and what it all led to in the end. There might be SPOILERS for the campaign and alternative history of Barovia becoming... Well, Barovia.
Warning: contains a lot of psychological trauma, psychological and physical abuse, substance abuse and heavy angst.

Summary
A young human life cleric finds herself in a place outside of her intended destination to the disappointment and frustration of her goddess. Now trapped within Barovia, a place of tragedy where hope is fleeting and heroes are slew in the dozen, Alice (level 13) is… let's say is less than impressed.
Still bitter from why she is here, she is forced to protect a group of bright eyed (level 1) adventurers along with finally confronting her past; A group determined to march their way to Strahd, despite being warned they will be killed with the snap of a finger because they are certain that Alice is merely being a debbie downer.
Will she manage to somehow find hope in the end, despite marching herself to her own death regardless of her choices (as far as she can tell)?
Will she make friends along the way?
Will she somehow find a way out?
Will she somehow be saved from her fate?
Will she somehow be saved from her god(s)?
Will she find love?
Or is Alice truly trapped forever in Barovia
Warning: If you are planning on reading The Doomed Maiden, chapter 0 of this work will ruin one of the mysteries of the story. But if you are okay with spoilers or don’t care, proceed forward.- Language:

Summary
Strahd von Zarovich’s life story, starting from his birth, exploring the events and people that shaped him from innocent infant to one of DnD’s most iconic villains. I plan to keep this consistent with both "I, Strahd" and the 5e module, mixed with the fan lore I'm running in my game (mainly the Fanes). This will be more or less like a complete Tome of Strahd.
Please see the tags for any trigger warnings, I will update the tags as the tale unfolds.

Summary
Vladimir grinned, taking his hand and pulling him back towards the camp. “Look at you being sentimental. Don't start crying on me now, my shirt is already damp.”
Godfrey punched his arm, not bothering to be gentle about it, though it seemed to amuse his partner more than anything.
“In your dreams. I've never cried because of you, I don't plan on starting now. Besides, you've given me no reason to. The only tears I'd shed for you are tears of frustration.”
Or: Godfrey and Vladimir bathe together before a battle against Strahd. You know how this ends, I'm sorry.

Summary
For being the object of so many men's obsession there is surprisingly little written about Tatyana and her life, especially before those brothers tangled her up in their life. This is a long form fic about her life. If you want to see the perspective of a woman who grew up during a war, lost her family, found purpose, and complicated relationships that changed the course of a kingdom this is the fic for you.
As a Curse of Strahd DM I changed the major characterization for my Tatyana and the nature of her relationship with the von Zarovich brothers. This is the lore I used in my game.
I wanted it to be a tragedy that all could have been avoided if they made different choices but that would require them all to be different people.It still ends the same way as the original Cannon with Strahd killing Sergei and Tatyana falling over the outlook, but the journey is very different.

Summary
Strahd barked out a laugh. “And just what exactly should you fear? Scared they’ll all come get you once I’m out of the way?”
“No,” Rahadin said.
“Then do tell what caused this?” He pressed the dagger deeper, eyes flashing, “Loyalty? Loyalty should have you obey me.”
Rahadin’s mind was rushing, the cries of the choir overwhelming him. What should he say, what could he say? The vampire was rarely contented in such spirits by anything other than the death of his enemy. Rahadin had never let the enemy be himself. He decided to tell the truth.☾☼☽

Summary
An alchemist comes face to face with the dark power hiding within Strahd.
“It is true that blood itself does not sustain me.”
“It's death, isn’t it?” says the Alchemist. In his peripheral vision, the room grows darker: awareness gnaws at his bones like rattling chains, urging him into flight. The man he shares this room with is no man at all but a predator: something clothed in the skin of a person but none of their kinship. This, all darklords have in common.Series
