Summary
Six months after the defeat of the Netherbrain, Gale is still mourning the loss of his lover who never quite made it back to Waterdeep with him. Not alive, anyway.
Then one night, she shows up at his door. Alive. In tact. As beautiful and alluring as he remembers her. He thinks that the circumstances of her return, however mysterious, are a turning point in his life he's long awaited.
But Astarion suspects there is something nefarious at play...and it's worse than either one of them imagined.

Loving the Tyrant Lord: An Evil Dark Urge x Enver Gortash Fanfiction by xXTheVampireQueenXx

Summary
Belladonna (The Dark Urge) has rejected Bhaal, intent on seizing the power of the Grand Design for herself. But with most of her memories still lost to her, and no clear path forward, Belladonna feels lost and restless. However, when a fateful encounter leads her to seek answers with the one man whose name she recognized with sickening familiarity, her past ally Lord Enver Gortash, Belladonna discovers that their past (and perhaps their future) was much more than a simple alliance.
Lord Enver Gortash’s beloved has returned. Whether it was a matter of luck, skill, or intervention from the gods themselves, matters not. Nor does her lack of memory of him. Enver will have her again, and they will become the king and queen—nay, the god and goddess that they were always meant to be.

Summary
He tips his head back so he can lean it against the wooden wall, and lets out a sigh. He can’t remember what this room was actually used for, outside of a place he came to cry about how he’s so bored and trapped and lonely he can’t see a way out of it. Maybe that’s what everyone else uses it for too. It’s a good spot for it.
“Don’t you ever get tired of pretending you’re okay?” she whispers.

Summary
So, it is in the library that Gale now sits, listening with practiced indifference, to the back and forth between his mother and Tara; Tara demands that Gale be afforded time to rest following ‘his ordeal’, whereas his mother insists he is in dire need of companionship. Gale has no inclination towards either; his initial hope of the squabble running its course on its own, however, dwindles the longer it goes on. He supposes, after-all, that having had just over two tendays without such a conversation was more than he could have hoped for.

Summary
Post-Orin and post-resurrection, Mirin discovers the one thing she always thought was hers—her storm—has been cut out of her like a god’s afterthought. Gale finds her in an alley, shaking and hollow, and offers what comfort he can: truth instead of platitudes, a hand to hold, and a new way to see the magic that might yet grow back.

Summary
Baldur’s Gate is technically safe. The city still bleeds — and Mirin is part of the wound. She holds it together with councils, refugees, crime and politics, until there’s nothing left but duty and exhaustion. Everyone praises their hero. No one tells her to stop. No one except the man in chains.
Enver Gortash, deposed tyrant and public monster, watches her shake through visits she insists are “fine” and calls her martyrdom what it is: a slow execution in the name of goodness. When his clean, bloodless escape turns her into the city’s scapegoat, he keeps his promise. He takes her away from the knives.
In his gilded cage, Mirin finds herself cherished, fed, and carefully contained. Gortash offers what Baldur’s Gate never did: rest, brutal honesty, and devotion that feels a lot like possession. Outside, the city howls for its missing hero. Inside, the man she tried to save patiently proves his point about power and people built to break themselves for a cause.
Leaving him means returning to martyrdom. Staying means surrendering to a love that will never let her go.

Summary
Prophecy. Destiny. Eternity.
Her god sends her hunting for answers one cryptic word at a time; his goddess abandons him with a magical catastrophe in his chest. Sometimes survival looks less like faith and more like spite.
Tamsin and Gale have history—twenty years of misplaced anger and heartache. Now they're infected with mind flayer tadpoles, caught between old gods with agendas and a new one that promises power without abandonment.
At the end of the world, they'll be offered the ultimate reward: divine ascension. But at what cost?
When the gods you serve have designs of their own, sometimes the greatest act of faith is choosing the person next to you instead.

Summary
Three years ago, Rhiannon made a choice that damned the world—and damned her soul. She helped Astarion Ancunín complete the Rite of Profane Ascension, transforming him from spawn to Vampire Ascendant. Then she vanished without a word. Unable to face what she'd enabled, she retreated to a remote Selûnite temple to atone for her sins.
But Astarion never stopped searching.
Now, he's found her. And this time, he won't let her slip away.
Trapped in his opulent palace, cut off from Selûne's light, Rhiannon is caught between the man she once knew and the powerful, obsessive creature he's become.
And he has all the time in the world to wait.
As days turn to nights in gilded captivity, Rhiannon fights a losing battle against her own traitorous heart. Because the most terrifying thing isn't his power or his manipulation—it's the growing realization that some dark, buried part of her has been waiting for him too.
He spent three years planning how to make her his.
She's beginning to forget why she ever ran.Bookmarked by Carnivaley
