Summary
An eyewall replacement cycle is a process by which the eyewall of an intense tropical cyclone may be slowly robbed of strength by outer rain bands forming into a new eyewall. This new eyewall saps the inner one, eventually causing it to collapse. This causes the storm to weaken temporarily, but it often precedes an overall increase in size and strength of the cyclone.
A Bhaalspawn becomes its Father's Chosen, and earns its second skin.

Summary
For the tumblr Prompt Event "The Pen & Sword." This piece ended up a bit weird, and I have no idea if I did it right.
Prompt: Dancing | Intimacy | Scars
Wyll attends ballroom class all of once before he starts calling everything a dance.

Summary
A VERY HUMANOID AU in which Tav confesses his mysteries to Astarion before they take on the Netherbrain.
This particular fic in the series makes very little sense without the Astarion POV pieces before it.

Summary
Tav is keeping the party journal to practice common. The companions check his work.
NOTE: Not necessary to read the rest of the series to enjoy the shenanigans.
Warning - Tav's journal entries are a disaster by intention. He will improve, but I understand if this is not for you :)

Summary
Astarion had warmed up considerably with the reveal of his secret, and the revelation that not only were they not about to execute him for the crime of existing, but that they were willing to shed their own blood to feed him.
Nevertheless, slow starvation isn't the peril of the shadow-cursed lands, and it did rather scupper his usual modus operandi. Difficult to remain unseen when lit up like a beacon in the dark.
Or, more whump for the Tadfool boys.

Summary
“There’s a tiefling in the Gate who might be in need of rescue. And tiefling rescue has historically fallen under our purview. Yours, at least. So I thought you’d like to know.”
“Any chance this tiefling is named Rolan?”
Tav and Astarion are adjusting to domestic bliss (?), but old responsibilities call. Meanwhile, Rolan's apprenticeship under a famous archmage is far from all he had hoped for. Post-canon. Astarion x m!Tav.

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

She sends her soldier to a Nautiloid in Avernus to protect them. The soldier in question has no idea what's going on but is doing soldier's best.

This is Tav from the "A Guide to VERY HUMANOID for Dunces" series during the Nautiloid (part 1) and the first day (part 2). I've put it where it is in the series to avoid too many spoilers for the Astarion POV detective installments (all of the prior parts before "An Oath of Devotion").

Summary
Tav wakes injured, in pain, and surrounded by strangers. Lucky for her, she knows the city's escape routes and hideaways like the back of her hand—if only her hand would move at all, and if only her pursuer wasn't so damned persistent.
Set early in Act 3.

Summary
While Dame Aylin, Shield of Selune, has been trapped in the Shadowfell, her Sword battles the hells. That is, until he is nabbed by a passing nautiloid, gets a tadpole in his brain, and ends up saving the world with a mismatched group of strangers, only to be plucked from one realm and immediately sent to another by the Moonmaiden herself. Now the unlikely companions of Selune's second-pick paladin must navigate the mystery of where in the nine hells is their friend Tav?

While this can be read independently, I recommend starting with the Astarion POV series pieces before it.
Huge thanks to silverkleptofox for the updated summary!

Summary
After the events of Act 2, Turmeric's got a lot of explaining to do. And explain she will, if she can get her stomach to settle down. And find the right words. And, actually, she's just realised she needs the bathroom real quick, she'll be right back-
This follows immediately on from the previous work in the series (More Graves to Dig), so is it recommend to read that for relevant context, unless you just want to read a contextless Tav backstory I guess.
