    Summary

    “Tell me of Barovia, Dane,” she whispered. “Tell me of home.”

    Dane felt a pulse of reluctance. Why was she asking this of him? More importantly, why now? He had always been loath to talk about his old life, and thus far his companions had respected the painfulness of those memories.

    He exhaled. He had to admit, Trill deserved to know something. If at least because it was pertinent to the mission.

    “It is a valley,” he began hesitantly, voice never rising above the wind. “Long ago, my father named it after his father, and built a castle there.”

    Trill shivered, or something similar. “And the rest?”

    Dane crossed his arms. “The rest is all scrubland and ruins. The people lock their doors and shutter their windows, hiding behind walls until the next pocket of daylight. The Vistani live apart, roaming as they please. No one but them gets in or out. Not even my father.”

    “Except you,” Trill said.

    “Except me.”

    Summary

    The curse of a man will be made into a legend, while the curse of a woman will be made into his story. I’m tired of being the name used to tell his plight. I’m tired of being nothing more than a person I can’t remember. My name is Ireena Kolyana and this story is finally mine.

    Summary

    Vignettes for every day of February. Most chapters are a separate story/different prompt. Most are about Strahd and Alek.

    UPDATE 1: I have made improvements to chapter navigation. I should have done these as separate fics in a collection, but it's too late now.
    UPDATE 2: The master index at the end, sorted by universe, makes more sense now. Trying to add smaller glossaries to the footnotes of relevant chapters instead of compiling a monster.

    Summary

    “How dare you!” Palin screamed at the sky. “How dare you call yourselves gods!”

     

    Oh, but there was no one left to hear him, was there. If he stood here long enough and waited for night to fall, he would see one small, desolate yellow moon, and a jumble of stars that failed to form coherent images.

     

    “Fools! No better than any mortal! You took it all with you. You had no right!”

     

    Alone and despairing after the departure of the gods and the loss of magic on Krynn, Palin Majere's fury summons powers that he can neither comprehend nor control.

    Summary

    A character study for one of my D&D characters in a modified Curse if Strahd campaign.

    Judge, the hulking mass of animated steel plate, was in life known as Ser Hanfred Vel; a champion of the light and a paladin of glory. However, his light was marred by the lengths he went to save his beloved from a magical affliction; his choices doomed not only innocents, but set some of his own children down the same paths of darkness.

    Barovia now serves as Judge's crucible; his final chance to prove himself worthy of the forgiveness of his goddess and all those who perished in his quest to save his love. But will he find the redemption he seeks, or will he falter after everything?

    A chance encounter wirh a ghost of his past may hold the answer...

    Summary

    Vampire of the Mists is a pretty crazy book with some wild implications about Barovia’s lore. But who has the time to read a mediocre book about vampires falling in love, I mean, fighting over, um, one girl who is not actually the same person? It turns out that, if you make it campy enough, I do! And I’ll even talk about it for hours on end!

    Summary

    A rewrite of the Vampiric invasion of Merrydale and the fall, and subsequent rebirth, of The Silver Six.

    Maybe the situation wasn't completely irredeemable. Even if it meant dying in the end. Was this really any different than their quests from the past? There was a vampire attacking the town. He had to be stopped. That hadn't changed...even if they had.

    Summary

    Takes place after the short story "Blood Sport". An idea of what could have happened after it's rather abrupt ending and what led to Jander going from living among people within the city to secluding himself in a cave.
