Summary
Gale returns to Waterdeep, to the woman he barely knows but has been betrothed to for two decades, leaving behind a heartbroken Tav in Baldur's Gate.
----
The parchment is expensive. Tav runs her fingertips over the wax seal and hesitates; she knows what this is. She is not surprised that it is happening, she is, however, surprised at being included in some way. Perhaps, she allows herself, she had hoped it wouldn't be so soon. (She has already put to bed the part of herself that had hoped it would not happen at all.) Gale had, after all, been very clear - and devastatingly gentle - in his explanation.

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
Trapped in a ruined monastery and cut off from their companions, Gale and Tav are helpless when his arcane hunger strikes - and they have no magical items left to appease the orb. As detonation looms ever closer, Tav seizes on a desperate, dangerous idea that might just save them both.
---
Tav drew in a careful breath. The Weave that always hummed at the edge of her senses felt restless that day, churning inside her like a storm waiting for release. She was aware of it in every inch of her skin, in the slow roll of power at the base of her spine, in the tingling tips of her fingers.
“What about me?” she asked. “I’m magic.”
Gale stared at her, and for the first time since this started, looked genuinely thrown. “Tav, that is not how this works.”
“Are you sure?” Her voice was steady, but her heart had picked up, beating in time with that strange second pulse she could almost sense in him now. “You told me you can draw magic out of objects. That you can feel where it sits and let the orb draw it out. I’m not a scroll, but the power’s there. You can sense magic. Can you sense mine?”

Summary
Back in the day, when Enver Gortash couldn’t even imagine becoming an archduke, he was little more than a salon curiosity – a name whispered with interest, a man discussed far more than he was taken seriously.
Intriguing enough that the Sharrans decided to send Shadowheart – probably the only woman who didn’t fantasize about him – not only to fall into his arms, but to find out what, exactly, was hiding beneath the ambition.

Summary
Reborn and unbound, The Dark Urge steps into a world that fears her legacy and questions her choices. Her powers have shifted, entwined with the cycles of life and death, as she embraces a new path that both terrifies and empowers her.
Guided by allies like the cunning Astarion and the steadfast Wyll, she learns that redemption is not given - it is earned. As she navigates moral labyrinths, confronts the Netherbrain, and faces Gortash once more, she must decide whether compassion, vengeance, or domination will shape her destiny.
In the ashes of the past, a new self must grow - and choose.
This is the second part of my series Shadows of Creation. It is not necessary to read the first part, but please consider checking it out if you like The Dark Urge/Gortash dynamic.

Summary
The Dark Urge surprises Gortash with an unexpected gift. Written for World Heart Day, this vignette can be enjoyed as a standalone or as a window into Gortash’s perspective within my Shadows of Creation series.
---
“Good evening, my dear. To what do I owe the pleasure? I hadn’t expected you for another three days.” Enver placed his quill back into its rest with deliberate care, as though even this small act deserved ceremony. He withdrew a silken handkerchief, dabbing the ink from his calloused fingers, each motion precise, betraying nothing of the intrigue quickening behind his eyes.
Her voice broke the silence, smooth and resonant, every syllable warm enough to disguise the knife-edge beneath. “I have a gift for you,” she said, holding out the pouch. “I think you might like it.” The bag was fashioned from waxed cotton, its dull sheen catching the unsteady candlelight. Yet at the base, something darker had begun to seep through—slow, heavy, unmistakable.

Summary
The House of Hope: high heels, higher stakes, and pole tricks that definitely violate OSHA standards. Tav thought she’d nailed the art of survival—fake tan applied, wig secured, choreography held together by duct tape and vibes—until her ex came back.
Enver Gortash: rich, smug, and fully convinced that obsessive devotion is foreplay. He’s back in her orbit, waving money like it’s romance, and auditioning hard for “sugar daddy of the year.”
Featuring: glitter-related war crimes, fake tan emergencies, Astarion being Astarion, and a workplace where HR is just Raphael with a martini.
It’s drama. It’s chaos. It’s moral compromise in six-inch perspex heels. Welcome to The House of Hope. Try to keep up.
**Chapter 6 has been rewritten**

Summary
In the shadow of her father’s divine will, the Dark Urge has always obeyed. A devoted leader of the cult of Bhaal, she wields destruction as easily as devotion, commanding fear and loyalty in equal measure. Yet cracks are forming in her psyche, and whispers of selfhood stir in the darkness.
Between the scheming of her brother Sarevok, the cunning of her sister Orin, and the enigmatic ambition of Enver Gortash, she must navigate loyalty, love, and her own awakening desires. As she confronts the weight of inheritance and the echoes of creation itself, she begins to see the first signs of her autonomy - and the dangerous allure of freedom.
Blood will bind her, but only she can choose whether to break the chains.

Summary
In the blood-soaked depths beneath Baldur's Gate, two chosen of allied Gods collide in a dance of desire and dominion.
Nelithral, the Daughter of Murder, has been Bhaal's perfect weapon-beautiful, deadly, and utterly alone. When Enver Gortash offers her something her father never has-choice and partnership-she dares to hope for freedom from the dark urges consuming her.
But Gortash's hunger for her is more than ambition; it burns with obsessive passion. In Nelithral, he sees his equal, his perfect match. Yet when he seeks Bane's blessing to claim her as his consort, his god reveals a different game entirely. Desire is twisted into a trial of faith and loyalty, and the blessing becomes a battle.
As Gods and mortals vie for power, Orin the Red watches from the shadows, her jealous devotion threatening to unravel everything.
What begins as alliance becomes deadly possession. Can two souls find salvation in each other's darkness, or will they be devoured by it?
***This is a prequel to my completed Fan Fic, "The Dark of the Moon"***

Summary
After confronting Orin, the Dark Urge visits her old ally, Enver Gortash, in search of some understanding.
Still sticky with Orin’s lifeblood, Harmony felt restless and half-wild. Her companions were dear to her but she needed… tonight, she needed to be understood. And some instinct in her whispered that she could only find that understanding in one place.
Gortash wasn’t yet in his bedroom when she arrived, even though the hour was late.
Not a surprise, she found. He was industrious, his clever mind always at work.
Forgive me, Father...
No need of that, not anymore. She was no longer Bhaal’s, having been disowned by him as surely as Shadowheart had been disowned by Shar.
