Summary
I wanted it to be published on ResearchGate, but they declined, so I made an account on AO3. Just kidding, it’s a fantasy story.
Summary:
Infected with an alien larva that will overwrite her body, Talula — a wizard whose spellcasting has grown rusty — has only days, a kleptomaniacal companion, and her analytical mind to find a cure, but each of her well-considered decisions breeds a worse disaster.Notes:
– Tav1 (Talula) is tadpoled and Tav2 (Yu-On) isn’t, to have two characters to interact with the world from different perspectives.
– All other OCs are my other Tavs who needed to be honoured as well, but they got only roles of “the mob” for completing the side quests and driving the plot forwards, since Tav1 is a confused fellow.
– There are no canon party companions because this story is devoted to the Emperor, out of my disappointment with how he has been sidelined by the game developers. Source:the gameBaldur’s Gate III and the Queer Politics of Monstrosity -

Summary
This story has a few lines which represent a spoiler for Act 3, Wyll quest, and about the true identity of the Emperor. Please skip if you are not already aware of it, or do not like to be spoiled. It's narrated on a first person point of view, the Emperor's POV, to be more specific, and is a long, poetic-prose monologue.
The idea is simple: Tav cannot sleep. The Emperor offers to help, and while he knows a magical sleep may be useful, he also knows it will only be a temporary relief. But he has another idea, which is helping Tav relax solely by the sound of his voice telling a story. Only problem... Tav... is prone to distractions?

Summary
"The thing about safety however, the Emperor now realized: is that you could be as safe as a babe wrapped tight and bundled against it's mother's breast, but if you were also alone — the void would always find its way back in to the very corners of your mind, slithering and making it through the smallest of hairline cracks that formed in the silence that being completely safe promised."

The Emperor has had a lot of places to hide over the passing years, but much prefers to be found.

Summary
What kind of illithid colony chose not to cull an illithid as outrageously aberrant as the Emperor? How did it relearn the secret to building nautiloids, long-lost technology from the age of illithid dominion? Who was the Absolute, before it was the Absolute?
Tav remembers. They are one of the last thralls of the original colony, from before the madness seized the brain. Soon, they will be reborn as another nameless illithid, another cog in a senseless machine, no past, no present, no future. But then the voice of the Absolute falls silent. The nautiloid crashes. And Tav remembers what was lost.
