Summary
Two problematic, emotionally constipated disasters meet in a sauna for casual sex.
It’s surprisingly good. So they do it again. And then - wouldn’t you know it? - they realize they might actually like each other, which, shockingly, they make more complicated than it needs to be.
Is it shameless smut? Is it a character study? Why not both!

What if Rolan was a Companion... and Everything Went Wrong by GraySparrow

Summary
I would have loved more Rolan, Lia, and Cal content in the game, so I wrote 'What if Rolan was a Companion', where the story of Baldur's Gate 3 is reimagined to integrate Rolan as a romanceable companion and has a happy ending. ...But the companions in BG3 have both 'good' and 'bad' endings...
So this is the story of Baldur's Gate 3 with a companion Rolan's potential 'bad' ending.

Summary
Three tiefling siblings endeavor to build a better life for themselves and for each other. Rolan, Cal, and Lia face hardships they never could have imagined, but Rolan refuses to accept any less than he knows they deserve.
His name will be known far and wide, one way or another.
(Or, what Baldur's Gate 3 looked like in my head if the story starred Rolan, Cal, and Lia. Starting with Descent into Avernus).

Summary
Rugan and Aradin trying to be as irredeemable and emotionally unavailable as they think they are in a journey of realizations, redemption, and, much as all three of us fought it... feelings.
Thank you to all who encouraged this. Initially a one-shot, the series now contains:
What if Aradin Pushed Zevlor Too Far - A prologue of sorts. Not part of the main story.
One Night Stand at Blushing Mermaid to Ten Out of Ten - These 10 "one shots" are the main story. Each describes a sexual encounter that gradually detail Rugan and Aradin's growth and redemption as individuals and two people together.
At the Eleventh Hour to Lucky Number Thirteen - These continue the story for a happy ending.
How to Keep a Man and Lose a Devil - An alternate multichapter fic with a happy ending. Aradin makes a deal with Raphael to bring Rugan back.
Brew, love? - Slice-of-life snippet.
The Bathhouse - An explicit modern AU one-shot.
Meet Me By The Trams - A multichapter modern AU fic.

Summary
When smuggler decides to mock a paladin's virtue, the outcome is usually divine wrath - swift, righteous, and terminal. Rugan, however, receives an entirely different kind of revelation when Tav reveals what really happens behind temple doors.
Turns out, holy warriors aren't just skilled at smiting evil - they excel in activities best kept out of sacred texts. Nothing shatters illusions quite like realizing that those who polish their armor with devout precision have equally creative uses for their stamina.

Summary
“Who the hells are you?” The elf turned to size up the duo.
“Family from out of Baldur's Gate.” Rugan supplied.
“Ah, Zarys' crew. She said you were halfway competent.”
“Probably the closest thing to a compliment we’ll draw out of her,” muttered Rugan.
Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young.
Being the Southern Deliveries Manager for the Baldur's Gates Zhentarim is not an easy job. Between mentoring new recruits, juggling vicious coworkers and whip-cracking bosses, bandits are the least of Rugan's troubles. An encounter with a charming stranger on the job serves to only complicate his life all the more.

Summary
“Maybe I should be the one apologizing,” Lia says. “I’m sorry if you ever felt you need to deserve your place in our family.”
Rolan stares at her. Is she angry? It can be difficult to tell with Lia sometimes. Right now the severe slant to her eyebrows could be remorse, thoughtfulness, anger, or any combination of the three.
“No, no,” he says finally. “That’s not it. Or . . . perhaps it is. I don’t know.”
