Summary
After the fall of the Netherbrain, Tav had enough adventure for one lifetime and wanted to finish writing her memoir and retire in peace. After her musical troupe was attacked en route to Athkatla, Tav finds herself sold into slavery and purchased by Mammon, the Lord of Minauros. While brokering deals with devils to secure her freedom, Tav ends up on the wrong side of a political scheme that threatens to tear the Third Hell apart. She needs to beat the devils at their own cruel games to ensure her survival before the greed of the Endless Bog swallows her whole.
Mephistopheles hated mortals. They were pawns. Currency. Pathetic. Upon a diplomatic visit to the Third Hell, the Lord of the Eighth discovered something that he had been searching for for centuries. Mammon has his filthy claws on the one thing he wants, and he will do anything to get her back. Once she is in his clutches, he is never, ever going to let her go.

Summary
When Ari Trevelyan (M.Tav) wakes with a new wriggling bestie in his head, it's really a lot less alarming than it should be. He's used to constantly feeling like he's on the verge of losing all control and dying dramatically in a gory explosion. When neither your past OR your future feel safe from the fire in your veins, you tend to turn into a self-destructive flirt with no real direction. Life loses its charms.
Lucky for Ari, Astarion has enough charm to fell mountains and redirect rivers. And lucky for Astarion, a beautiful, self-destructive flirt with no real direction AND powerful magic is exactly the type of person he wants wrapped around his finger. Or...the rest of him, too? Why does Astarion like this delightfully deadly, deranged wild shape so much? And why does it feel like his wild shape's peculiar eyes can see right through him? Like their agonies echo each other in the dark?
In which two survivors find each other and begin to heal.
Both M.Tav and Astarion POV.
READ IF YOU: wanted to drape Tav's cloak over Astarion's shaking shoulders, enjoy deeply emotional writing, and love consent/emotional intimacy in your smut ♡Series

Summary
Dear Readers,
I, Abbi, always believed alien abduction was plausibly real, but it was for other people. Maybe, aliens like abducting people who are mentally ill so it seemed like they are lying. Maybe, that's why I ended up on the nautiloid. Or maybe, I wasn't supposed to.
Either way, whether by design or by accident, I got to see a world saved. Even if it was technically just a tiny corner of it and not even my own.
Sometimes, it takes just a random group of people motivated to solve the same problem to make a difference, one step at a time. At the behest of my companions, I’m getting my adventure on paper. Sometimes the gods really are listening. And sometimes they're just cunts.
Cheers to the Heroes of Baldur's Gate and, hopefully, we can get a more accurate retelling down since Volo's was — please, don't read it. We didn't have a dragon with us, just a dragonborn.
(This is written as an imagining from 1st person POV of “Tav” and the companions writing down their journey of becoming the Heroes of Baldur’s Gate as submissions. Each chapter may contain differing voices (I.E. Astarion's and Abigail's) but they are separated into their own sections.)

Summary
You managed to convince Astarion not to go through with the Rite of Profane Ascension. He remains a vampire spawn, and you now offer your blood from time to time to help with his sanguine hunger until a solution is found.
Even though you had both decided to stay as friends back at Moonrise Towers, lines begin to blur once more as other cravings come to the surface… and things with Astarion are seldom uncomplicated.
_____________
Impatience gripped your nerves ferociously. "These things take time, Astarion."
"Oh, my darling… I have all the time in the world, but you only have a limited supply of blood," he whispered softly and you could almost taste his taunting words.

Summary
When Lana is abducted by large squid monsters and gains a large lizard man as a companion, she does her best to go with the flow. However, strange quirks and even stranger teammates keep upping the ante as they try to solve their parasite issue. She does her best to keep calm in this new world, trying to solve one problem at a time. Although, having the large lizard man hovering over your shoulder half the time could make things more difficult. And if she does find him cute, she can unpack that thought later.
Just a nice slow burn romance with the default Durge and a monk isekai'd Tav named Lana. What could go wrong?

The Clever Friend by CircusBones

Summary
“I’m a very bad man, Cora,” He murmured, leaning forward to brush his lips against the crown of her head, his hand sliding to the back of her neck. Her shuddering breath was warm against his neck, her hands fluttering at her sides.
“I know,” She finally touched him in turn, her hands going to his waist, gripping his belt to steady herself, and Rugan knew he was done in, “My very favorite, very bad man. Who’d never see harm come to me.”
---
Rugan keeps a promise to his old mentor, and it might just save his life one day.

Summary
"Tav would not act like this. Not all of him is gone, but whoever they currently are is not Tav anymore. The name is branding, limiting. His body is a self-made prison created from the single mistake of introducing themselves as Tav of Baldur’s Gate. Just like that Tav stays and the celldoor locks."
Tav is a changeling who has a complicated (and unhealthy) relationship with their identity. They are desperate to keep being Tav even when the name no longer fits; even as it slowely eats away at them. Their facade is prone to slip around a certain campmate escpecially.

Summary
The night after the Final Battle, after months of sexual tension, pining, and fevered kisses, Tavi and Gale finally made love. Tavi was on cloud nine. Until several days after their first time together Gale disappeared, leaving only a short letter behind with no real explanation. Tavi was devastated.
Especially some weeks later when she realized she's pregnant, and it's definitely Gale's.
He obviously doesn't want her, so she doesn't try to find him.
But Astarion and Shadowheart have invited everyone to Baldur's Gate for their wedding. Tavi wonders if Gale will even show up and if she should tell him.
If she does tell him, where will they go from there?
aka: Gale is a lovable bastard, unplanned pregnancy, much angsty romance. LONGFIC that will continue even after the initial conflict is resolved, following Gale and Tavi's lives, with slice of life and more potential conflicts. I write wordy messy romantic smutty filth that goes on forever, you've been warned.
NON CON TAG: is in reference to Mystra.

Summary
“Tav?” He asked, as though she would have an explanation for this, as if she ever did.
“I need an alibi,” she hissed at him. Her hands were on him before he could speak, mussing his hair out of the bun, adjusting his robe awkwardly.

Summary
He couldn’t remember waking up, he couldn’t remember moving, but he was stood up now, on the opposite side of the fire from where his bedroll lay, the forest dark and still around him. Something coated his hands and arms, thick and sticky, and he lifted them in confusion that quickly melted into horror.
Blood.

What if the scene of Alfira being dead was just a horrible dream?

Summary
In which Tav believes the latest symptom of her grief is the hallucination of her lost love.
Or, Gale finds himself unexpectedly resurrected.
------
Gods, she hates him. Hates him bitterly for leaving her behind. And Gods, how she loves him, still. Enough to have dragged herself to Waterdeep, as per his wishes. Enough to have let Tara coddle her those first few days. Enough to have sobbed into Morena Dekarios’ waiting arms. Enough to speak to him every evening from the balcony he had promised they would share. Enough to have started reading each of his books, knowing his fingers had touched every page. Enough to imagine all the ways he might’ve reacted to the news of his impending fatherhood. The latter she lingers on more than she would like, for it only gives way to other, saccharine fantasies she knows will never come to fruition.

Summary
“This is a dream.” She quietly laughed to herself. Of course this was a dream. Everything that had happened was absolutely ridiculous. Now, her brain presented her with some beautiful man she’d probably seen in a magazine somewhere. She remembers the 7-11 and thinks she must have tripped over the curb and knocked herself out. She’d never had lucid dreams before, but that had to be what this was. Nothing else made sense.
“Hello? Are you listening to me?” The man interrupted her thoughts, “I’ve cornered one of those brain things. Can you help me fight it?”
Erin looked toward where he gestured, then back at him. She shrugged and said, “Why not. None of this is real, and I’ve already ruined my shoes.” She laughed again and started walking toward the bush he’d indicated.
