Summary
Gale and Elayne are trapped after a cave-in, waiting for the other members of their party to return and free them - unfortunately for the bard, they don't return in time to stop her from making a humiliating mistake.
Although, in her defence, Elayne really did think she was dreaming.

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.

Summary
Tara flew to his shoulder and gazed down with him, taking in the scene.
“Do you see it?” he whispered. “What…”
“I see it.” She rubbed her cheek against his, her tail curling around his hunched shoulders.
“What does it mean?”
“It means hope, Gale. It means something real.”—
Gale is a divination wizard, but a mere shadow of his former glory.
Aoife is an Oath of the Ancients paladin, haunted by the grief of her past.
A year after their fateful first meeting Aoife's path crosses the Wizard of Waterdeep's once more. But as the two are drawn together, Gale's misfortune with the orb and Aoife's long-held sorrow aren't the only dark shadows cast upon them by the past, and soon their fates become as entangled as the threads of the Weave.

Summary
Really, it was inevitable she was going to slip up at some point. When you’re travelling with a group of people who are psychically connected by mind-flayer tadpoles, somewhere along the line, someone is going to accidentally read someone’s mind.
But did it have to be him? And did it have to be that?

Summary
“我是因为你才分化成Alpha的，你是球队里唯一的单身Omega，应该由我来标记你。”
“不，Gavi，没有什么‘所谓’的应该。如果你真的想要标记谁，你完全可以去找个同龄的Omega，而不是我。”
“那你想要被谁标记？”加维疑惑地看着他，“你喜欢Frenkie吗？”
“什么？不，我不想要被任何人标记。我是来巴萨踢球的。”——
Omega气味腺在接收到某些特定的Alpha信息素后会释放出与原有信息素不同的特殊信息素表达兴趣，这是Omega无意识的生理行为，除这名靶点Alpha以外的其他人、甚至Omega本人都无法闻到。被靶点Alpha标记的Omega会停止向该Alpha以外的个体释放特殊信息素，被永久标记后可从对方的信息素中闻到自己特殊信息素的气味；被非靶点Alpha标记的Omega则会完全停止释放特殊信息素，直到临时标记消失或用医疗手段洗去。
由于这种现象因人而异，相当数量的Omega一生都不会释放特殊信息素，且第三方很难进行定性定量研究，人类社会至今对此缺乏广泛认识，很多人认为这种现象并不存在。
