    Summary

    What happens when the world moves on - and you remain stuck in place?

    In high school, Gale drags a protesting Astarion to the new Dungeons and Dragons club, building a world of fantasy and friendships that lasts a lifetime.

    Or does it?

    Ten years later, everyone has moved on - except Astarion.

    When the club finds themselves reunited unexpectedly, Gale and Astarion realize that ten years may have not been quite enough to get over the hurt that still burns between them.

    A story of growing up, forgiveness, and miscommunications - with a dose of DND. :)

    With lots of art from the incredibly talented adsu-shy!

    Summary

    The bustling metropolis of Baldur’s Gate had proven unkind to Astarion in the years since he moved there. Estranged from those who once loved him, the closest thing he has to friends or family are his fellow strippers at the club, Cazador's - a relationship only made worse by their constant misgendering of him.

    All that starts to change when Astarion makes the uncharacteristic decision to rescue a cat from drowning, putting him in contact with one Dr. Gale Dekarios.

    This is the story of a lost Astarion, a Gale who has already found his way, and an extremely patient Tara.

    Fic contains art!

    Summary

    So, it is in the library that Gale now sits, listening with practiced indifference, to the back and forth between his mother and Tara; Tara demands that Gale be afforded time to rest following ‘his ordeal’, whereas his mother insists he is in dire need of companionship. Gale has no inclination towards either; his initial hope of the squabble running its course on its own, however, dwindles the longer it goes on. He supposes, after-all, that having had just over two tendays without such a conversation was more than he could have hoped for.

    Summary

    "I kissed you, and even the dark turned gentle for a while."

    Bernadette is a 34-year-old midwestern retail manager who just wants to enjoy her Friday night with a Bath & Body Works candle and her current BG3 playthrough.

    Instead, a cursed journal drags her between worlds and dumps her on the docks of Baldur's Gate. Armed with nothing but four-inch Demonias, seven years of retail management, and her customer-service smile crisp enough to gut a fish, she expects to be dead in an hour.

    What she doesn't expect is that everything she knows about the game is a lie.

    Cazador Szarr isn't who she thinks. He is a traumatized Kozakuran refugee, a Warlock bound by a devil's pact, and an anti-hero culling the worst of the city to buy his soul back. And Astarion? That tragic elf she spent a thousand hours saving? He is a corrupt, narcissistic libertine incapable of realizing he is the byproduct of his own doing.

    Caught in Cazador's centuries-old Faustian endgame, Bernadette must survive a coven of feral vampires, navigate Upper City politics, and try not to fall for Cazador.

    Summary

    Gale has a foolproof idea to find a date for the Blackstaff Ball. Nothing goes as planned.

    "Oh, you know how it goes," Tara said with a shrug. "Boy summons tressym, tressym is boy's best friend for ten years, boy turns tressym into girl, then boy won't turn tressym back until she goes to a dance with him."
