Summary
"I want to stop being a creature. I want to become a beast."
Born from Bhaal’s blood and tasked to become his perfect weapon, a girl with no name struggles to keep her will alive. Murder is not just a task — it's ecstasy, identity, obligation.
Haunted by the Urge and trained to excel or die, she learns to wear masks: obedient Zhentarim courier, mysterious Drow noble, sword-priestess of Eilistraee. Yet in the Feywild, where an Archfey gives her rules instead of chains, she begins to ask the unthinkable:
"What if I want to be more than a weapon?"This is her origin story — one that stretches all the way into the main events of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Before she wakes up on the Nautiloid, she was a blade in the making.
She becomes a warlock, an actress, a liar, and after all she finds herself entangled with tyrant. But strange enough, this one cares about her. -

Summary
Enya Brightborn arrives at Beacon Academy late—far later than any new student ought to—bearing a surname heavy enough to silence a room. Quiet, unerringly composed, and relentlessly logical. But as Ruby Rose and her friends soon discover, beneath Enya’s formal demeanor lies genuine warmth and an unexpected longing for connection.
Yet the Brightborn Clan is no ordinary family: an ancient lineage stretching back to the era of Ozma himself, whose members govern themselves by ironclad logic, ruthless efficiency, and a commitment to humanity’s preservation that borders on fanaticism. With Salem’s shadow looming ever larger across Remnant, Ruby and her friends find themselves grappling with secrets older than kingdoms, intricate politics, and hidden schemes centuries in the making.
RWBY: the Brightborn Saga is a canon-adjacent partial-AU retelling that blends familiar story beats with original characters and expansive worldbuilding. Enter Clan Brightborn—an OC family obsessed with logic, reason, and ruthless pragmatism—whose presence fundamentally alters the dynamics of Remnant’s kingdoms, villain motivations, and our beloved heroes. Also, lesbians. Lots of lesbians.

This is part of an AU in which Alarak has to go back to Artanis for help after Covert Ops in order to fix a revolution within the Tal'darim partially spurred on by the loss of the emotional influence that Amon had over them until his death. I only write short, self-contained stories within this AU despite having way too much in my head about it, and they will not be posted in order. The timeline of this AU spans from a little after the end of Covert Ops to around 175-200 years afterwards.
