Summary
Geir Dagrsson knows three things: cattle die, kinsmen die, but the one thing that doesn’t is a man’s deeds. He just didn’t expect his greatest one to be marrying the brat prince of East Anglia, and worst of all, the son of one of his father’s killers: a Saxon.
Ӕlfstan, son of Cadwallon, loathes the heathens plaguing their lands. When he is sold off in marriage to one, he will do whatever it takes to free himself from the man, his father’s wishes be damned. The Viking he is promised to also proves to be just as irritating as he expected.
Little do they both know, sinister forces are looking to sow more discord between the denizens of East Anglia, with Geir and Ӕlfstan at the centre of it all.

Summary
Following the acquisition of Aumar Technology Group by Ascension, Astarion gets saddled with managing the worst product imaginable: a smart bed. To make matters worse, the lead engineer, Gale Dekarios, is a thorn in his side.
Gale feels much the same now that he works under the clueless and tempestuous Astarion Ancunin who doesn’t know the first thing about engineering. They are constantly butting heads, and now have to create a ridiculous product no one asked for.
When Cazador sends them off to the Faerun Electronics Expo and Trade Show (FEETS for short) to demo the smart bed, things quickly go awry— and so does any professionalism between them.

The Path to Netheril by Bronze_and_navy_is_creating, ShadowViking
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
25 May 2026
Tags
Summary
The Brain has fallen. Cazador was defeated. Mystra (barely) pacified. Yet, Astarion desired more than a life in the shadows of his new home in Waterdeep. He wanted sunlight, and knew just the wizard who could help him achieve that- Gale. Unfortunately for Gale, it would cost him everything that made him the wizard he was, leading the pair on a complicated adventure to regain what he lost. One filled with danger, the dead and undead alike, and romance neither of them anticipated, all on that Path to Netheril.
(Inspired and loosely based on The Road to El Dorado- and it is entirely the song's 'It's tough to be a God' fault that this exists.)
