    Summary

    "The humiliation of being slightly buzzed and sloppy with his kisses will accompany his hangover tomorrow, yet Rolan finds your touch much too electrifying to worry about all that as you’ve pressed him against a barrel in the darkened, hidden cellar of Last Light Inn. He’s not sure who grabbed at who first, but a part of him knows there’s no sense in trying to figure it out; he can’t win this game at all- this strange competition of teeth that nibble at each other, the fight to see who can make less noise as the rest of your travelling party continue upstairs without the two of you."

    Or Alternatively -

    Rolan tries not to overthink how desperately horny he is as Tav is handsy after saving the Tieflings from Moonrise Towers. The cellar of The Last Light Inn happens to be unoccupied.

    Summary

    He spends the next five hours at the counter in a silent state of panic. This is the problem with Marigold, he tells himself, she drives him past the point of reason, and then he does extremely stupid things and places her in danger instead of being the voice of reason that she so desperately needs in her life. Don’t drink a semi-illegal love potion, Marigold. That’s the sort of thing that ought to be easy to tell a person to do, and yet she still seems convinced that she knows something facts don’t. That it’ll be different simply because she’s doing it.

    Summary

    It all started with the Nautiloid. There was a before, certainly. Isotta had been a scholar and a storyteller—an ethnographer—but not a mage. She had traveled the whole of Faerûn, exploring and cataloguing the people who called the material plane home. Where a wizard might hoard knowledge, Isotta sought to share it. Everything around them was just one big story, after all.

    There was also a magnificent wizard named Rolan who had the misfortune to be born a tiefling. He also had the misfortune to meet a bard who claimed to be a scholar, named Isotta. Despite his best efforts to evade her, she repeatedly inserted herself into his life until he finally had no choice but to tell her he loved her, in his own way, and ask her if she might love him too—because why else could someone be so insistent on meddling if not for love? And then, dear reader, she rejected him.

    Summary

    Rolan’s reading was again interrupted by Brid flinging herself onto the couch next to him and shoving her hands between his face and his book. There on her palms sat a perfectly smooth rock, and a new-looking piece of linen. Rolan picked up the linen, and gave an impressed hum when he could find no flaws.

    “I beg your pardon? ” Brid said, indignant at Rolan’s coolness. “Congratulate me, tell me how clever I am! Give me something!

    Rolan looked over at her, and as his brain flicked through different things he could say—to annoy her, or frustrate her, or make her laugh—he noticed how close they were, and an idle thought occurred to him. If Brid were looking to be given something, how easy it would be, no effort at all, really, to close the distance between them and give her a kiss.

    After an innocent spellbook theft in the Grove, Rolan and Brid forge a friendship along the road to Baldur's Gate--despite their best efforts to keep each other at arm's length. As they grow close, Rolan digs into the past she tries to forget, and discovers the primal power she once abandoned.

    Summary

    “When I undress,” Rolan said, matching her casual tone, “I plan on fucking you. Specifically, I plan on fucking you until I’ve seen some measurable improvement in your etiquette.”

    Her eyes were shining with excitement. “I am as genial and well-mannered as any—”

    “What I haven’t decided,” he cut across her, giving her wrists a brutal squeeze, “is whether I’ll be burying myself in your lovely cunt to start,” he took both wrists in one hand so he could trace the tip of a claw along her lower lip, “or fucking that wicked little mouth of yours.”

    Rolan can't leave well enough alone with his bard.

    Summary

    Octavia is finally getting the chance to work as a student teacher and research assistant to one of the most talented and prestigious wizardry professors in Waterdeep... too bad they've met before in less... professional circumstances.

    AKA Tav and Gale research the various ways a wizard could misuse certain spells in the pursuit of pleasure in a series of interconnected one shots.

    Inspired by several incredible one shot fics on this site.

    Summary

    Eight months after the events of 'All I Wanted' (my first Rolan x Tav fic [see series]), Tav and Rolan’s relationship is tested by tragedy and turmoil. There will be drama, romance, political intrigue, action, and of course — smut. Is our favorite tiefling strong enough to handle it all and hold on to the girl?

    The entire fic is NSFW but "*" at the end of a chapter title denotes that the chapter will be largely smut

    (Please note: While this is the sequel to 'All I Wanted' but doesn't require you read that either)

    Summary

    It had been months. Months! Rolan thought angrily to himself. Months since she’d disappeared after the final battle. Months of dwindling correspondences and nonsensical replies. And now she had the audacity to show up in his tower looking like she’d been- well, to the hells and back- and ask for help.

    Tav and Karlach come back from Avernus after many months searching for a fix for Karlach's infernal engine. Things are tense between Tav and Rolan, as he was deeply wounded by her sudden departure, but Tav hopes they can grow close again while he helps them gather what they need to fix the engine and return to Baldur's Gate for good.

    Summary

    Rolan has only ever had Cal and Lia. They insist he's family, but he doesn't even need that. He's never needed or wanted anything more.

    -

    This was supposed to be a one-shot from Rolan's POV about his evolving relationship with Tav largely following the canon of the game. It got a bit out of control, so I had to split it into two chapters.

    Summary

    This is a "what if" Rolan had a romance route scenario.

    It's some shenanigans, a date, and then some horny nasty with a hopeful ending. He's down so bad, he has so many feelings, and eventually, he concludes that he likes you, (Tav) because you're stupid and annoying. He wants a little of your audacity for himself. To want someone like this is brand new to him. He's a proud, self-important dumbass and so are you! Realizing this doesn't suddenly make you any less frustrating of a person. If anything he's annoyed with himself once realizing he's horns deep, too far gone to turn back. Utterly, atrociously enthralled by you.


    “I don’t need you.” He forces through gritted teeth even as his balls threaten to detach from his body in favor of finding someone more deserving of his manhood.

    “But you want me.” Confidence oozes from you, pungent and lustrously obnoxious. The expression fits you so well that he hates you for it. Your eyebrows raise, daring him to say otherwise. At that exact moment, Rolan manages to leech off of your tenacity just enough that he's able to shed the last of his hateful perseverance.

    Summary

    “I've thanked you once already,” he says, a hint of playfulness in his tone and his eyes. As he tilts his head toward you, his horns catch the firelight and you can't help but stare at him with your breath held tight. “Don't be greedy.”

    You stand there with a pouch of gold in your hands and a flutter in your heart that quickly melts into molten heat as it sinks between your rib cage, down your belly, and then lower.

    But wouldn’t it just be so sweet to fuck his master’s pretty little wife?
