Summary
This is a sequel to my story, "Bloodstained"! I really really really recommend reading that story first! It is a slow burn story. <3
Wisteria (Female Tav) leaves Astarion after they defeat the elder brain, as much as it hurt both of them. But when she left, she completely disappeared. Nobody has seen her - Surely she didn't vanish? Two years later, Astarion runs into her- but she's different. She's now a vampire spawn under a cruel master.
Now that her cruel master is dead, there are so many questions left unanswered and her romance with Astarion faces challenges.
But the biggest question mark of them all....is her old companion who showed up on their doorstep, who was supposed to be dead.

Summary
Wisteria (Tav) leaves Astarion after they defeat the elder brain, as much as it hurt both of them. But when she left, she completely disappeared. Nobody has seen her - not shadowheart, not gale. Surely she didn't vanish?
Two years later, Astarion runs into her- but she's different. She's now a vampire spawn under a cruel master.
This is a slow burn so smut is in the later chapters. I am posting a chapter a day—I have already finished this story!FINISHED BOOK!
Spawn!Astarion. Spawn!Tav
A lot of pining, slow-burn romance, and tons of angsty hurt comfort.

Weave Your Heart with Mine by Lalaithlingreen

Summary
What if the fate of magic itself rested in the hands of a prodigy born from a fallen empire and a celestial warrior from outside the cosmic wheel?
Gale Dekarios, a wizard shaped by ambition and divine manipulation, and Ithildinn, a Boros Angel, a paragon of justice and duty, are unknowingly bound by Mystra’s desperate gamble. Under the threat of the Dead Three, old powers stir, and multiversal threads collide; loyalty, love, and legacy will determine whether the Weave - nay, the planes themselves are saved or shattered forever.
---------
"I would do the same for any of you. I hope you know it was not my intention to guilt you; we are not defined by our kind," then more softly added, "nor our mistakes."
He let out a soft, heavy exhale at that. "Oh, I think it depends on the mistake."
"Try me." She said quietly.

Summary
“I am going to die,” Gale whispers into the darkness, then again, directly at her sleeping form. “I truly am going to die.”
The words don’t feel quite real as they linger in the air. He shifts closer and rests his hand on the warm curve of her cheek.
“Tell me that we will find another way. You never stopped believing we could fix this, even when I thought I had exhausted every other possibility. Say that you can— please.”
He’d bore witness to the miracles she could perform first hand: commanding a devil to fall on his own sword, pulling an undead dragon from the sky, burning the very God of Death to cinders– why would it be such a foolish thing to hope she could stop this as well?
He leans closer, stopping but a breath from her face.
"I can't do it. I'm not ready."

Summary
For a little over two hundred years, any touch has caused Lumi to spiral into a panic attack. And yet, after pulling a friendly wizard out of some really pissed off magic, the spiral cuts itself short. How curious.
When Gale finally sets eyes on the woman who pulls him from that rock, it's like a fog clears. Unfortunately, it comes not long after yet another time limit has been imposed upon his life.

Summary
Adjusting to life as a mind flayer is difficult, especially when Moss feels emotions with their entire body, and the thoughts of strangers keep physically bumping into them. The mixed opinions of the public - and of their companions - certainly aren't helping, either. But the battle is won, and at least the Emperor is here to mentor them as they help him rebuild the city.
Maybe he'll even hold their hand.A post-game fix-it story about learning to be illithid, but also rebuilding, reconnecting, and rediscovery. Everyone deserves to be happy, the Emperor most of all. Grab a page of acrostics, a bowl of soup, and maybe a toothbrush for the nauseatingly teeth-rotting fluff of this absolute character worship novel I've written for our sorely misrepresented big squid.
Established post-game Emps/illithid genderless Tav, second-person POV via Tav, NOT a reader/self-insert/blank slate Tav story.
M rating is only for chapter 11. Updated with better formatting and a bunch of art! Complete. <3Series

Summary
What kind of illithid colony chose not to cull an illithid as outrageously aberrant as the Emperor? How did it relearn the secret to building nautiloids, long-lost technology from the age of illithid dominion? Who was the Absolute, before it was the Absolute?
Tav remembers. They are one of the last thralls of the original colony, from before the madness seized the brain. Soon, they will be reborn as another nameless illithid, another cog in a senseless machine, no past, no present, no future. But then the voice of the Absolute falls silent. The nautiloid crashes. And Tav remembers what was lost.

Summary
"Are you sure you are healed, dear?" Astarion pulled Raima to one side as the group trundled through the forest path back to the -now empty- goblin keep. "I think you are still bleeding."
Raima cursed under her breath before looking up at Astarion. "Thank you for noticing, friend, but it's just… you know. That time."
Astarion frowned deeply but saw the look in Raima's eyes that clearly said 'This conversation is over.'Raima is reluctantly wise beyond her years, even for a wood elf, dragging a group of once-strangers into various holes, dungeons and fortresses, to try and address the tadpole(s) in the room. If she fixes everyone else’s problems, hers will go away…right?
Starts just before party goes into the Underdark, after rescuing Halsin. I'm not going to completely retell the story but obviously there will be spoilers for all acts. Big feelings Fic

Summary
She froze at the mention of Moonrise. It was their first solid lead since the nautiloid crashed, but the news filled Tav with dread. She knew all too well the evil that besieged that land. Without thinking, she stepped close to Halsin, leaning in so only he could hear her. She reached up and grabbed his arm, trying to keep her balance.
“You’re sure that’s where we need to go?” she asked quietly, in Elvish. “That is no easy task.”
His expression softened and he gave her a knowing look in response.“You know of this place?” He lowered his voice to match hers, as smooth as his voice was before, it was nothing compared to hearing him speak their native tongue.
“Unfortunately, yes. I would not go back there unless I had no other choice.” Tav’s hand was starting to shake slightly against his arm, but he placed his other hand over hers to steady it. His hands were lightly calloused but warm and comforting. She felt the blushing feeling returning to her face.
“It will be dangerous, but it can be done. And perhaps, we can see the light there again.” he whispered back. His voice was hopeful, but his face was a mask of pain.

Summary
Shadowheart wasn't fond of wolves, that much was obvious. But when she was forced to travel with a werewolf under dire circumstances, she started to wonder if there could be an exception. She also could not, for the life of her, figure out why a complete stranger could stir up such a sense of familiarity in her, even within the limited fragments of her broken memories.
A healing journey in which Shadowheart recovers the missing pieces of her forgotten childhood.
Or:
Aquila (Tav) had already lost Shadowheart once before, and they weren't going to lose her again.
(a.k.a. "what if I am a loyal puppy who will follow you to the end of the world even after you were abducted by an evil cult?" -- Aquila, probably)

Summary
Hounlin didn’t know what it felt like to be loved.
They knew the reticent disinterest of their father. They knew the frigid dissatisfaction of their mother. They knew the pride of their aunt, the resentment of their sister, the fear of an adversary with a blade at their throat and the panic of a victim before a monster- but nothing of love.
Hounlin did know reverence. They knew what it was to fall to your knees in devotion, to venerate what you could not entirely comprehend. They felt it within themself at the foot of the altar, aching and awestruck, and they saw it in Astarion every time he kneeled by their bedroll.

Frequent Updates! Werewolf & Vampire Slowburn(ish) Angst! Not A/B/O!A turbulent romance between Astarion & Hounlin, a cursed werewolf tav. Hounlin is nonbinary (afab) and a drow druid.
A retelling of game events, but with a lot of original dialogue and scenes. I try very hard to stick to 5e lore!
Act 1 has some enemies to lovers. Lots of bickering. Fighting = flirting. Monster-spawn angst. A bit of religious trauma, as a treat. Will they make each other better or worse? Stick around and find out!

Summary
Eivor was cold. He was falling. Pain wrapped tight around his neck. Something filled his mouth, hot and metallic. Beside him, Basim was choking, a hand pressed against his chest. Blood spilled past his fingers. Eivor tried to reach for him, to hold him, but his body wouldn’t move. He couldn’t move, he couldn’t breathe-
One minute Eivor is in a cold cave in Norway, Basim’s blade at his neck, the next, he’s waking up in Kjotve’s clutches, three years earlier. This time, he knows Basim’s treachery, Sigurd’s hubris. The threads of fate are woven long before his birth, but what happens when one, tiny snag unravels the tapestry? The Nornir send him back, armed with foreknowledge, to fix their mistakes.
He just hopes Basim isn't beyond saving.

What in the Nine Realms has driven her to do this? To betray her husband, her marriage vows, her own sense of honor—all for a quick rut amidst crumbling ruins?
