Summary
What kind of illithid colony chose not to cull an illithid as outrageously aberrant as the Emperor? How did it relearn the secret to building nautiloids, long-lost technology from the age of illithid dominion? Who was the Absolute, before it was the Absolute?
Tav remembers. They are one of the last thralls of the original colony, from before the madness seized the brain. Soon, they will be reborn as another nameless illithid, another cog in a senseless machine, no past, no present, no future. But then the voice of the Absolute falls silent. The nautiloid crashes. And Tav remembers what was lost.

Summary
Tobel has an excellent life (for a slave). He belongs to the headmaster of the only imperially sanctioned school for dreamweavers, and his biggest worry is planning the upcoming graduation ceremony—that is, until someone goes and murders his master, shattering their psychic link. Now he has three days left to live, but imminent death and a covert murder investigation are no excuse for slacking off. After all, that graduation isn't going to plan itself.

Summary
After her stroke, Duke Stelmane begins to receive a mysterious visitor in private. They are always cloaked, hooded, intimidating. As far as her attendants can tell, they have been up to nothing more nefarious than playing common games to pass the time. Why, then, the secrecy?

Summary
There were rumours. Mere whispers, spoken in the dark alleyways of Knockturn Alley and its underbelly slums, of a boy, or perhaps a young man, with green eyes and a strange affinity for the dead. A necromancer of some sort. Some said he lured people in to steal their souls. Others said that he would make the dead speak and reveal secrets thought lost - for a price, of course.
Voldemort did not know what the truth was, and he did not care to know. The only thing Voldemort was concerned with was if the boy would prove useful.
(And putting an end to this maddening obsession).
___Harry was not particularly happy to find himself in the past, wearing somebody else’s skin, and without a single knut to his name. And he was even less enthusiastic to learn that he had caught Voldemort’s attention. But he would make do, as he always has done.

Summary
Imagine the horror Dumbledore felt when the first year check-in on Harry resulted in the Dursleys telling him they had no idea what he was talking about, as they never had the young Potter as their ward.
A toddler laughs joyfully, wobbling towards the woman who has crazier hair than he does. “Come here, itty-bitty-baby!” Bellatrix cackled, her eyes shining.

Lies and Deceit Again, My Dear? by PortentProxy

Summary
Politics and schmoozing. Kronnis thought he'd be getting a break from it all when an opportunity for adventure manifests itself quite literally before him. Some weeks later he realizes that he's only living a slightly different version of the past five years he's spent as the Hero of Baldur's Gate, rubbing elbows with dukes and lords. The Emperor is having a great time, at least - and the Forbidden Forest has no shortage of giant spiders to fry!
Buckle up, because these boys are going to cause quite a stir in the magical community! Takes place some years after the events of Baldur's Gate 3. Expect social manipulation - gotta use all 20 of those charisma points for something, and boyfriends who manipulate together stay together.
