Summary
"Nautiloid abductions are supposed to be a fucking hoax, an urban myth, a conspiracy theory bandied about by people in possession of slightly less than the optimal number of marbles. Not actual reality, and certainly not something that happens to circus barkers on the road to the idyllic little town of Trostenwald."
Or: The one where the nautiloid made a detour and picked up an additional genderfluid tiefling.
Or: The one where Molly gets to get on the nerves of foes, fiends, and friends in Faerûn. (In particular, one elven vampire spawn.)
Or: The Mollystarion/Vampire Hunter (I made the ship, I get to name it) fic my brain wouldn't shut up about and now it's everyone's problem.

Summary
"The shadowed sun shall wed broken dusk,
The Weaves shall fray, the gods shall rust.
Through strife and love, all realmspace to save—
The eclipse endures, though all else may fade.So sayeth the wise Alaundo."
---
First, there was Ves—a half-drow bard hopelessly in love with Gale Dekarios, the wizard from Waterdeep. Their bond, born of shared trials across the Sword Coast, was unbreakable. So deeply did Ves love Gale that he sacrificed everything, even his mortal life, to remain by his side.
Now, as Moonshadow, God of the Eclipse, he is Gale’s divine partner, yet feels like a shadow in the path of Gale’s relentless ambition. Ascension has become a burden, and Moonshadow longs for the simplicity of his mortal life—of simply being Ves, Gale’s lover, free of celestial duties.
A long overdue promise to revisit Faerûn stirs those old desires, making Moonshadow yearn for a life he can never reclaim.
NB: Chapters names marked with * have an optional, expanded NSFW version on my pseud (heartsong94).

Summary
"Hmm, and to think you're Elijah's mother." The wood elf said smirking. Shadowheart blinked, her glare replaced to a look of surprise. "Quite the family resemblance between the two of you. The glaring green eyes; that defiant frown. So Intimidating." She said nudging her shoulder to her elf companion. "I can see why she is vehemently against Sharrans. She hates the fact her mother was one of them."
Shadowheart felt her face heat up with rage and with embarrassment.
A family divided in the war between the darkness and the light.
Twenty-five years after the defeat of the Absolute, Ash(Tav) and Shadowheart have lived a comfortable life in a growing village under the protection of the Selûnite church. During a coming-of-age rite for their son, a dark power descends upon their village.

Summary
A series of snapshots expanding upon Shadowheart's romance arc throughout Act 1 to Act 3 of Baldur's Gate 3. Follows the same somewhat slowburn vibe whilst retaining more of her witty wisecracking side. Using Tav/Durge interchangeably/same character and a heavy emphasis on the Dark Urge background.
(Shadowheart relentlessly bullying as flirtation but he lowkey deserves it... *and* highkey enjoys it.)

Summary
A canon-compliant series of cozy Shadowheart-centric drabbles (or 'Shaddles'!) revolving around the Baldur's Gate 3 Midwinter, months to years after the events of the game. These stories are told non-chronologically, and have relevant dates included! Bundle up for a great deal of coziness, domestic life, holiday cheer, slightly problematic drow-isms, and more.
This story features my tav Nephiah as Shadowheart's partner, though you don't need to read her origin story (Crashing your Car, Breaking your Heart) to enjoy this! Similarly, each piece is standalone. Written for the SWG's Holiday Collection.
