Summary
Astarion thinks the drow warrior with the war hammer is the perfect shield: controlled but lethal, and easy enough to use if he can make her want him.
Larsa has survived Menzoberranzan, exile, and the long work of smuggling other drow to the surface. She knows when someone is trying to make himself useful. She lets him anyway.
But the road to Moonrise leads through the Underdark, and neither of them is as free of the past as they’d like to think. As companionship gives way to hunger, ambition, and duty, both must decide what they are willing to become, and who they are willing to trust.
If you like your Astarion/Tav with slow-burn tension, difficult trust, drow lore, Underdark politics, older characters, messy trauma recovery, and a main campaign retelling where the romance is tangled up with darker fantasy stakes, this may be the story for you.
Influenced by all things drow, and 80s goth and folk music.

Summary
Cannor Coth is an over-the-hill, out-of-work envoy and erstwhile spy enduring his seventh year of exile from Baldur's Gate, his adopted home city. Along with his old pal Farago, Cannor carves a path westward from the wilderness to the city that will be familiar to BG3 players. This series is Cannor's recounting of what happened to them in the four tendays after infection by mind flayers—the story of how he became a bard.
This fic is more headcanon/vignettes than the game's major plot beats. It's also my first fic, so please be patient with any associated obliviousness and I'll try to make it worth your while. I'll probably fill in more tags and summary/info when I get a handle on how this site works.
