Summary
A few tendays have passed since Cressida and Rolan last saw each other. With both of them convinced their paths are unlikely to cross again now that they are in Baldur's Gate, they attempt to act accordingly. However, fate has different plans when their ties to Lorroakan come into play.
-
OR: Cressida and Rolan are not normal about each other and cannot stop themselves from getting involved in each other's lives. (While everything else in this series can be read separately, it is recommended that this short fic be read chronologically!!)Series

Summary
Being Lorroakan's latest apprentice has not gone the way Rolan imagined it would. When assigned with going to an abandoned manor to procure some artifacts for his master, Rolan decides against asking questions despite the suspicious nature of the task. To his horror, he learns not only that the manor is occupied by Cressida, Lorroakan's former lover, but that his master is a far more terrible person than he could have ever anticipated.

OR: Rolan accidentally attempts feline manslaughter on Cressida's cat. Things can only get crazier from here!Series

Summary
When Cressida misses the agreed upon meeting time to further discuss plans to take down Lorroakan, Rolan decides to figure out what's taking her so long. It is up to Rolan to keep his strange new acquaintance from succumbing to some ailment neither of them understand.
-
This also takes place in the AU where Rolan is tasked by Lorroakan to find magic items hidden in a mansion that Rolan doesn't realize is occupied by his master's former lover. Instead of fighting each other, Rolan and Cressida forge an unlikely alliance to take down Lorroakan. This would be just before what I posted for the Day 4 prompt of Rolan Into 2026 and fits super well with all its angst! A longfic will hopefully come out soonish!!

Summary
Rolan decides to pay Cressida a visit while she recovers from a curse Lorroakan had been using against her. With both of them tired, it is only natural that they both drift off on each other.

Summary
The start of the social season brings Rolan, the new Master of Ramazith's Tower, into high society for the first time since the mysterious death of Master Lorroakan. While the details of Rolan's former master are murky, his newfound power and wealth makes him a viable option for many searching for a suitor. This social season also brings the return of Cressida Lanthir who has been able to return to society after several years of declining health. Though, her motivations for attending are unclear as she seems set on rejecting nearly anyone who dares to glance in her direction.

Summary
A collection of oneshots involving Cressida Lanthir (tav) and Rolan. This supposed to be focused on the main bg3 storyline and shouldn't contain anything outside of that.
Please note: It's edited to be put in chronological order, but I'm posting the stories I finish up first regardless of the timing. But these could all probably be read in any order!

Summary
While on their way to Baldur's Gate, Rolan and his siblings have to settle in Emerald Grove, as the lands are overrun with goblins and mysterious cultists. It is here that he meets a peculiar drow, and the story of their unlikely relationship starts to unfold.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I always wondered how Rolan's story would unravel if a player was able to spend more time with him and romance him. To delve deeper into his thoughts, see the world through his eyes, and explore his relationships with those around him. In "Worthy," he takes a more active role, pushed to his limits yet also reaching the highest highs a person can achieve. Through it all, he begins to carve out his place in the world.The story's structure will consist of three parts, mimicking the game's three acts and the romance progression akin to that of companions.
Some events, naturally, will be expanded upon or changed, but the overall progression of the story remains the same. It also touches upon character dynamics between companions and some of their struggles - I simply cannot leave them out.

Summary
A tiefling wild magic sorceress finds herself fleeing from a mad elf and his friends laying waste to her city. As she tries to defend herself, her magic surges and she finds herself a decade back in time, and on one of their doorsteps. A wizard who thinks figuring out her magic might impress his goddess. What's worse: her magic keeps pulling her between all of them, and they clearly need her help.
“I'm technically a sorcerer? I'm not very good at it but that's neither here nor there,” Temerity said, backing away from him. “I saw you up there watching the city fall to ruin and helping in its destruction.”
“ ‘Technically a sorcerer’? What does that mean exactly?” Mr. Dekarios folded his arms.
“It means I can cast it just doesn't really ever go how I hope. I can pretty much only cast ‘shield’ correctly and even that seems to have gone to shit on me,” Temerity said, rubbing her face. “What were you doing on the elder brain?” Mr. Dekarios pointedly looked around them.
“If you're going to accuse me of a war crime can you at least base it in fact?” Tara swatted him with her paw.Series
