Summary
Outwardly, Domino Arrius Orchidies Erbil has a pretty good life; he's the revered heir to one of Elturel's most wealthy houses. Half-tiefling, half-dragon, he's the long-awaited fulfillment of a promise.
But behind closed doors, the facade cracks and crumbles; the smiles are hollow, and the rules are rigid enough to break even the most resilient soul.
When the Companion turns out not to be the sign of hope the city took it for, but a devil's construct instead, Elturel is besieged by cambions, imps, and many other monsters.
With the Matriarch dead, the Erbil family scrambles to pick up the pieces, regroup, and prevail, as they have always done.

Summary
"I… uhm…" his lover starts, a blush darkening his pallid cheeks. "I also may have prepared a surprise."
"Oh?" Darius asks, smiling as Rolim comes up higher again, kissing his lips softly. "And what would that be?"
"I c-c-crafted a leatherstrapon," he rushes the last words out in a slew of murmurs Darius can barely decipher. He blinks a few times again, his sleep-hazy brain working overtime to make sense of what he just heard.
"A what?"
"Aletherstrapon," Rolim rushes through the words again, but this time at least his voice isn't a whisper.
"A leather strap-on?" Darius asks, his grin growing and growing and growing even more when Rolim nods and then proceeds to hide his face in Darius' chest.

Summary
With the weather outside absolutely terrible and Astarion tied up in court all day, I decide to quickly walk the dogs, get their business done, and then cuddle up with Domino.
My lover has quickly helped me cover some of my more fragile rose bushes to shield them from the wind, but with the storm rolling in from the shore, Domi couldn't join me on his walk without hiding his wings away, something very uncomfortable for the half-dragon to do.
So, I've braved the winds and piercing rain alone and am now coming back into the house, taking my soaked boots off instantly.
It doesn't surprise me to find Domino rushing toward me with three towels.
"Welcome home!" he smiles brightly, handing me one, tossing the second one over Scratch, and starts to rub down Echo with the third.

Summary
A surprise, he said, a little date night just for the two of us, he said.
Darius huffs to himself, sipping his wine as he looks over the crowd. He hates fancy events like these, but Rolim lured him here with the promise of a night he won't forget. And his little dancer usually delivers when he promises something like this.
But it's been half an hour already, with no Ro in sight, and Darius is starting to get pouty.
I love it when you purse your lips like that, lover-mine.
Darius perks up, looking around as he hears the familiar musical lilt in his mind. If Rolim is close enough to put an Exchange Thoughts spell on him, he should be seeing him by now. But wherever he looks, he can't spot the familiar head of black and red hair, or the soft face of his lover, partly covered by an eyepatch.
Where are you, little dancer?
Wouldn't you like to know? Comes the teasing response.

This is the story of Oris, a half-drow bard, and his journey to becoming - The Hero of Baldur's Gate.

Summary
When your husband is a little bit too overly confident and cocky regarding his tolerance to both the cold and heat, sometimes you have to remind him and put him in his place.
Fionntán, a cleric with the blood of a fire sorcerer, typically finds himself unscathed from the heat of flames. All apart from those that belong to his husband's Alex, a shimmer of dragon blood flowing within the wizard's veins.
