Summary
In which Tav believes the latest symptom of her grief is the hallucination of her lost love.
Or, Gale finds himself unexpectedly resurrected.
------
Gods, she hates him. Hates him bitterly for leaving her behind. And Gods, how she loves him, still. Enough to have dragged herself to Waterdeep, as per his wishes. Enough to have let Tara coddle her those first few days. Enough to have sobbed into Morena Dekarios’ waiting arms. Enough to speak to him every evening from the balcony he had promised they would share. Enough to have started reading each of his books, knowing his fingers had touched every page. Enough to imagine all the ways he might’ve reacted to the news of his impending fatherhood. The latter she lingers on more than she would like, for it only gives way to other, saccharine fantasies she knows will never come to fruition.

Summary
🛑 THIS IS FINALLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION \\ CHs 1-16 ARE READY BUT 17-30 ARE BEING REWORKED \\ THE FIRST 16 ARE FULLY EDITED CORRECTLY \\ TAGS WILL UPDATE AFTER CH 30 POSTING 🛑
Dear Readers,
I, Abbi, always believed alien abduction was plausibly real, but it was for other people. Maybe, aliens like abducting people who are mentally ill so it seemed like they are lying. Maybe, that's why I ended up on the nautiloid. Or maybe, I wasn't supposed to.
Either way, whether by design or by accident, I got to see a world saved. Even if it was technically just a tiny corner of it and not even my own.
Sometimes, it takes just a random group of people motivated to solve the same problem to make a difference, one step at a time. At the behest of my companions, I’m getting my adventure on paper. Sometimes the gods really are listening. And sometimes they're just cunts.
Cheers to the Heroes of Baldur's Gate and, hopefully, we can get a more accurate retelling down since Volo's was — please, don't read it. We didn't have a dragon with us, just a dragonborn.

Summary
“I’m here,” Astarion rasps, pleading. “Come to me, darling. Come back to me.”
He holds a taut breath as her eyes open wider. Naomi blinks dazedly up at him, lips trembling, face glazed in confusion. Her gaze settles to his and sharpens.
“W-who are you?”
Astarion’s carefully crafted empire is thrown into upheaval when his bride falls victim to a modify memory spell. Without any memory of her lover or her own vampirism, his dark consort is a threat to both herself and her sire.
Astarion must win back her trust and affections, all while hunting down whoever sought to break the most powerful bond in Faerûn.

Summary
Gale hadn’t taken the tadpole into consideration when he’d started fantasizing earlier— why should he have? He was distracted by something far more immediately pressing. But in hindsight, that was clearly a mistake. He should have thought about the fact that he and Rhune were laying only several feet apart instead of clear across the campsite from each other as they normally did, should have thought about the fact that they were separated only by a few thin layers of canvas. Should have thought about the possibility that the parasite in his head may interpret his yearning in such a way that could cause it to resonate with Rhune’s.
But he hadn’t. So now this was happening.

Summary
"You can't possibly be this selfless. You must want something in return."
Tav replied, a little louder than intended, "What is wrong with you?!"
Realizing that at least Gale, if not all in camp heard her, she shot Astarion an apologetic glance as she started a high, fake laugh.
"Haha. You're so funny Astarion." She fake punched him in the arm and turned around, keeping a smile on her face, taking everyone in, as she started walking. The confusion on everyone's faces confirmed that she did good by trying to distract them. The only one who looked amused was Karlach.
"What's so funny, pale face? We could all use a laugh!"
"Oh, you had to be there!" Astarion managed to say, trying to keep up the charade and not look horrified.

Come on this journey with me while I retell the story of our favorite gang, from the Nautiloid to the end game (with many liberties).
I give you a common (for the most part, until a certain someone shows up) Tav, with no memories and no durge tendencies.
I add a spoonful of Astarion, a sprinkle of Gale and Halsin to spice things up.
