    Summary

    Tav did everything to make Astarion believe her dead—and to keep him from ever discovering their daughter.
    Years later, he murders her former matron—the woman who tormented her as a child.
    It’s an apology in their mutual language, but mostly a message: he knows she’s alive.
    Now Tav must return to Baldur’s Gate to face him. But how much does he know? And has she come to forgive him, or get her pound of flesh?

    This is a sequel to Cruel World, Full of Cruel Things, but I’ve written it so you can read it on its own.

    Summary

    “You can come back to me,” Astarion’s specter purrs. “I’ll be furious, naturally—violently so—but I’ll have you. Surely that’s better than starving in some damp cave?”

    I glare. “He’ll kill my baby.”

    My Astarion adjusts, seems to remember he’s not the real thing. “You can’t know that. He’s a narcissist, darling. If he looks and sees himself, he might raise it like a prince.”

    “And if he sees me?”

    “Then never give him the chance,” he urges. “Show everyone just how very hard you are to kill.”


    Tav ran. She slipped Astarion’s leash, left a charred drow corpse in her place, and went into hiding with their monster growing inside her—one that already has its father’s appetite.

    But when Minthara’s supply drop fails to arrive, Tav is left alone, pregnant, and starving in the Underdark.

    And the imaginary Astarion she’s conjured for comfort—the one shaped from her best memories—may not be hers at all.


    Tav has her Bella Swan/teen mom moment in the Underdark. I doubt anyone will read this, but it was so so fun to write.

    Summary

    None of his whores look like me.
    I’m disappointed. I tell him so.

    Fearing her old mistress, Tav agrees to become Astarion’s retainer—despite how he’s changed, despite how he’s broken her heart. She knows she’s trading her freedom for safety. She knows she’ll be a servant.
    What she doesn’t know is how much more he’ll demand—her dignity, her loyalty, her heart. And it will take all her cunning and violence to escape him.

    Summary

    “An Extinguished Star, reversed”, - the Vizsier says, tapping the card's crystal surface with a jagged nail. “A cataclysm, a dramatic rebirth and a new beginning, Lord Captain. Lightly tread; void is without limit: where one shadow is purged, hundreds rise in its steed”.

    Covers Act 1 and a bit before that + some cameos from other acts. Somewhat canon-compliant, with a twist. See notes for chapters POV list.

    Latest chapter summary:

    Ch.10: Her name was Amanar von Valancius, née Stubbs. She had guns, swords, void brandy — and no ribbons in her hair. Grandfather Nurgle crashed her party and Einrich Monteg was given a secret to keep.

    Heretical frivolities are greatly welcome in the comments :)

    Summary

    After the events of the Magnae Accessio — and all the secrets half-revealed under the cover of night — Heinrix and Heliora agree to toe the perilous line between duty and desire.

    War is coming to the Koronus Expanse. Under its shadow, can either of them truly keep to the stasis they've agreed upon — or will they cast their convictions to the Void, for one more taste?

    Summary

    When Shen Qingqiu fails his first mission, he loses the opportunity to unfreeze the OOC function. He has to go through the events of the story in-character as the original goods. He's sure that he's definitely getting human sticked until he stumbles onto a possible solution: if it's out-of-character to not be evil, what if the scum villain got some character development?

    Meanwhile, Luo Binghe is getting paranoid that his Shizun has started being nice to him. In a really mean way.

    Summary

    The state of Thedas is dark, growing darker. The Dread Wolf will be victorious and bring ruin to existence. How could he not when against him stands the new hero, as esteemed and beloved as young heroes are, but whose lack of competence is apparent to anyone who has held the same name.
    But hope is not lost. Fortunately, the former hero is rolling her eyes from the side bench. She is a bit older, plenty wiser, though a bit fallen, out of fame, love, and grace, but she is there, not guiding, but watching, judging, doubting… and with a plan of her own.
    A powerful artifact is waiting for her forgotten amid the depths of the Deep Roads. The price doesn’t matter, she will do whatever she must to save the world. Failure is not an option. Every end is a beginning.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, there was a Dalish woman who gave herself to Fen’Harel, and let him make her a fool a thousand times over. Never hardening her heart, never learning her lesson, she swallowed her pride, until one day, there was no pride left in the world. When Fen’Harel saw this, he—?

    She doesn’t remember how the story ended.

    &

    “I would like to hear you tell it,” Solas urges quietly. “Please.”

    Inquisitor Idunn Lavellan tries to save Solas from himself. Reality is fickle, and nothing goes to plan.

    A Solavellan romance novel with surreal horror, dream infiltration, moral ambiguity, mythic themes, smut, and a journey in understanding, of the self and of the Other. A fix-it fic that’s technically canon compliant… in the same sense that, technically, Fen’Harel rarely lies.

    Summary

    The dawn’s multicolored glow envelopes them both, turning them into art. She wants to immortalize it, to ensure their lover's embrace in the early morning light is as tangible in the distant future as it is now.

    She wishes for the same skill that lies in her beloved’s artistic touch, to recreate a moment with all the emotion in which it first occurred. She wonders if, some day, he will paint them. If he will paint her—not for her deeds, not for the Inquisitor, but for who she is just now. Just for him.

    Just like this.

    She wants it on the record that infiltrating Solas’ organization as a nug was never a plan that they had.

    Not any of them.

    Not even Sera.

    Not even jokingly.

    Summary

    Series: Former Inquisitor Ainnisa Lavellan travels to a time when Solas is revered as the High’Protector of the People, and rules alongside divine beings of immense power who dare call themselves gods.
    She, of course, plans to kill them.

    Current work: While waiting to stand trial for a different crime than the one she committed, Ainnisa tries to run away from her conscience and the strange spirit who follows her.

    Snippet:

    Clad in black, purple, and gold, Solas stands tall with hands clasped behind his back in all his statuesque pride and glory. He seems different somehow. The dominant line of his jaw seems sharper, his nose bolder, brow wiser, and that divine shimmer on his skin makes his bright face appear as if chiseled from white marble with quartz dust strewn inside.
    Handsome, one might say.
    “Grief suits you.”
    “I beg your pardon?”
    “It’s a compliment, Solas, it means you look well.”
    “Ah! Am…” His irises dart left and right as if searching through a master list of ripostes, tactics, and calculated reactions that should’ve covered everything, but somehow, accepting a simple compliment is missing.

    Summary

    All the thoughts Astarion had been cataloguing before about the strange visitor go still.

    His fingers reach out, lifting the pendant closer to his eye.

    Silver—finely wrought. An engraved swan volant, flying, and three etoile stars on the right.

    The Ancunin crest.

    (An escape goes well. A little too well, to be honest.

    But elves live long lives. How different could it be, really, going 200 years back?)
