    Summary

    Baldur’s Wall: Behind the Wall is a mockumentary-style collection of transcripts, interviews, rehearsal footage, and recovered production notes from a rock opera that absolutely should not have existed—and yet somehow did.

    Years after the original Baldur’s Wall rock opera was written, a chaotic ensemble of heroes, villains, scholars, and self-appointed directors attempt to document how it all came together. What begins as a behind-the-scenes retrospective quickly unravels into conflicting memories, theatrical egos, inexplicable casting decisions, and the growing realization that the Wall itself may have been more than metaphor.

    Told through unreliable narrators, fragmented footage, and increasingly questionable production choices, Behind the Wall explores what happens when myth becomes performance, performance becomes truth, and no one is entirely sure who was supposed to be in charge.

    This is not the story of the show.

    This is the story of everything that went wrong—and somehow still mattered.

    Summary

    As far as the Underdark went, every svirfneblin knew better than to go it alone. That was why the monk had offered him a place to rest, and that was why Barcus had agreed to stay-- at least, that's what he'd told himself. Perhaps, however, there was a better reason to stick around.

    Summary

    For a short moment Enver Gortash had had it all. He had thought he had won, just for one idiotic hero to ruin it all. To make things worse, that one hero had not even had the decency to kill him.

    Ever since then, two years have passed. Enver is a prisoner of Baldur's Gate, though Ravengard has given him a small chance to make up for things. But Enver knows that there is no forgiving his actions. Neither will a decent person forgive his evil, nor will Bane ever forgive his failure. And then he learns that he has sinned in the eyes of one more god: Oghma, whose church makes sure the technology in Faerûn cannot advance too far.

    Summary

    An AU fantasy anti-fascism fic with a cast of hundreds, running from DR 1492-DR 1494.

    This will be dark, painful and vicious because fascists do fascist things (hence the Dead Dove), but I promise that there is eventually a happy ending.

    Summary

    Their secret was never spoken, yet never doubted, until ambition dealt a blow it couldn't survive. A bigger contract. A rival crest. The deadline-day deal was announced with hardly any warning at all. By the time Wulbren left for the Bombardiers—more ice, more authority, a captain's letter waiting—confirmation settled in hard and cold. Ambition over everything. Even them.

    On the ice, they play to win. Off it, they're still trying to figure out the rules.

    In this gritty magical gnome Underdark ice hockey league, two star captains, inseparable once upon a time, skate a dangerous line between public rivalry and private desire.

    Summary

    Saphir Stellamaris wouldn't call his a lot a charmed life exactly. Sure you get to wear fancy silks and jewels and rub elbows with the Gate's Great and the Good. You also have to serve them in whatever way they request. Thankfully they'll pay out the nose for a taste of something exotic and his particular skillset makes it so he doesn't have to endure the worst of it. Still with his coffers now overflowing Saphir wonders how to start extracting himself from this lifestyle and how exactly someone of his background is going to make his plans for the future work. After all a foulblood no matter their breeding is still a foulblood at the end of the day. And even the most progressive cities would most likely balk at his ideas. Although...maybe...maybe this Gortash fellow could be a way of getting his hoof in the door. After all if someone of common blood can rise through the ranks at the rate he has surely he knows something of breaking through glass ceilings.

    The man in fact did not have anything helpful to share.

    Kidnapped and literally tossed into a nautiloid for processing Saphir a tiefling courtesan of some renown is having a terrible no good very bad day.

    Summary

    In the brutal world of the Baldur's Games, 24 tributes are chosen to fight to the death, and only one will survive. Nisha, selected for the 79th Games, has fought to stay alive her entire life—but now she faces a challenge that may very well be her end. Her mentor, Astarion, a charismatic winner of the 69th games, trains her in a brutal strategy: win the audience's favor to secure sponsorship, but show no mercy in the arena. He urges Nisha to eliminate her rivals early, never trust anyone, and never hesitate to kill.

    As the Games approach, Nisha struggles with past and present feelings for Astarion, but he seems to have forgotten her. In a world where survival means sacrificing humanity, Nisha must decide if she really can do whatever it takes to survive. Will she outlast the bloodshed, or will the Games consume her—and everything she once was? The clock is ticking, and only one will emerge alive.

    Summary

    Barcus stood helpless, his hands at his side and palms up. “Or even how–how did things get that bad, back home?”

    Wulbren turned on his heel, glaring. “Home? Home doesn’t exist anymore. We don’t have a home to go back to again. And…. you left, Barcus! You left, and you left me, and things got worse. I had to make difficult decisions, I didn’t want to bother you with how poorly things were going, and then I had do things, not just for me, but for our entire clan. You don’t get to tell me now that what I did was wrong, you weren’t there.”

    “I’m here now.” Barcus’s voice was soft and quiet, a balm.

    Summary

    Resigned, he looks up to the statue's face again, locks eyes with its empty gaze.

    "His face is all wrong," Rolan says, distant. If he allows himself to feel anything in this moment he threatens to implode.

    Lia laughs, sharp. "I wasn't aware you were an expert on the visage of the Wizard of Waterdeep," she teases. "Another particular interest of yours?"

    Five years ago, Gale of Waterdeep made a sacrifice to end the Battle of Baldur's Gate and save the world from the Grand Design.

    Except, somehow, Rolan remembers five years of being very much in love with the very much alive Gale. And now, he'll do anything to make it a reality—again.

How will the new Archduke and Duchess handle running the city? And how do the newest citizens adjust to life in their new home?
