Summary
Rolan’s reading was again interrupted by Brid flinging herself onto the couch next to him and shoving her hands between his face and his book. There on her palms sat a perfectly smooth rock, and a new-looking piece of linen. Rolan picked up the linen, and gave an impressed hum when he could find no flaws.
“I beg your pardon? ” Brid said, indignant at Rolan’s coolness. “Congratulate me, tell me how clever I am! Give me something! ”
Rolan looked over at her, and as his brain flicked through different things he could say—to annoy her, or frustrate her, or make her laugh—he noticed how close they were, and an idle thought occurred to him. If Brid were looking to be given something, how easy it would be, no effort at all, really, to close the distance between them and give her a kiss.
After an innocent spellbook theft in the Grove, Rolan and Brid forge a friendship along the road to Baldur's Gate--despite their best efforts to keep each other at arm's length. As they grow close, Rolan digs into the past she tries to forget, and discovers the primal power she once abandoned.

Summary
They had not gotten along, at least at first.
Bal had acquaintances along the Sword Coast but none were wizards. A few fellow sorcerers but most definitely no wizards. By the nine hells did she find them arrogant and, consequently, difficult to get along with.
In her opinion, Gale embodied all the worst traits of wizardkind. The man was pompous, hubristic, and by the gods he never shut up.
-----
Bal hid away from the world for three years in Baldur's Gate to deal with her grief, unfortunately, that didn't save her from being snatched up by the nautiloid. Begrudgingly saddled with the title of leader, she tentatively begins to make friends again, opening her heart to her fellow tadpals, and carving out a special place for Mystra's former Chosen.
But the weight of the Sword Coast's fate rests heavily on her shoulders, and love is not always easy. When further loss and expectations take their toll, she flees from the one she cherishes most, unable to handle that he will pass long before she does.
Time and soul-searching will heal Bal's wounds, but only if she can face her fears and doubts.

Not Dead or Alive, but a Secret Third Thing by sistersorceress
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

Summary
Cursed to die on her thirtieth birthday, Lara has resigned herself to the life of a minor Faerûnian hero – an arcane hunter barely scratching the surface of her magical talents, a quick-witted drifter who avoids attachments like the plague.
Just as the curse is about to claim her life, Lara is infected with a mind flayer parasite. And that's not even the worst of it.
The road ahead is fraught with battles. Some are the kind you'd expect: the various beasts, bastards, cults and creeps of the Sword Coast and the planes beyond. Others are about to prove far more challenging: the mortifying ordeal of being known, entirely sausage-based dinners, and an unreasonably massive crush on an unreasonably attractive wizard.

The tale of my storm sorcerer Tav and her journey through the events of the game, particularly her burgeoning friendships with her new companions and ESPECIALLY her romance with a certain Waterdhavian wizard.An overwhelmingly unserious fic for the most part. Rated explicit for frequent discussions of death and violence, language and sexual references. Also, actual sex.

Summary
The first month after the elder brain was defeated was easier than the second. Tav spent her time helping, healing, clearing rubble and eating hot gruel, sleeping wherever her body fell surrounded by others doing the same. Part of her life hadn’t changed. She was still taking it day by day, living out of her backpack and sleeping in her boots.

Summary
“I’m afraid there is no more room for your self-righteousness to expand,” Rolan jabs, unable to resist injecting a cathartic dose of venom into his words.
“I’ll gladly leave it for your hot air, then.” Tav winks, and is already walking past him to break off the conversation and get back at whatever next thing she needs to devote her attention to.
Rolan glowers at the back of her head and neck, at that ridiculous undercut, his tail nearly tying itself into a knot.
Fight her, he decides. If it comes to it, I’ll fight her.

Summary
After the fall of the Netherbrain, Tav's home in Baldur's Gate was destroyed and Gale offers his tower as a temporary place for her to rest and heal. A very slow-burn romance starts to bloom, while Tav (named Iluviel) struggles to be ready after the things Astarion did to her.
~
Lots of D&D lore and (mostly canonical) Waterdeep worldbuilding went into this fic that follows both Gale and Iluviel through their daily lives inside and outside of the wizard's tower.
~
Readers said about this fic: "This fic has had me in a chokehold from Day 1. The most deliciously slowest of slow burns, yet with enough intensity and cliffhangers to keep me racing back to it as soon as a new chapter alert comes out. The world-building that has happened in this fic surpasses just about all of the other fics I've read to date, with the imagery and scenery so beautifully written I could imagine myself sitting right in the kitchen along with Gale, Tara, and Iluviel, dodging pots and pans 😁"

Summary
Fate, destiny - none of it seems to matter much when you're under the yoke of an endless infernal debt. Finally free, Niamh sets out to begin a new life. She will find out just how much it matters when she's abducted by mindflayers and thrown into an uneasy alliance with a group of strangers.
Gale isn't a big believer in fate, but he does believe his death is close to hand when the illithid ship takes him. He'll learn just how wrong he is - and just how much life can offer - when he meets Niamh.
---
Slowburn friend-to-lovers romance, heaps and heaps of pining, eventual smut (check my oneshots if you'd like a sample) and a bonus minor Bloodpact on the side.
This fic is intended as a semi-novelization of the game, with some expansions to canon, some filler for plot holes, and a lot of Forgotten Realms/tabletop lore with a big focus on bards and artificers.
