Summary
Gale of Waterdeep began to irritate her the moment he sauntered out of that cursed portal and into her life, and from there on Tav must contend with the self-important, blusterous, ticking-time-bomb of a wizard whose sole existence seemed at odds with her desire for peace and quiet. Will it be too late for Tav, when she realises the lines between love and hate can become very, very blurred?

Summary
“I don’t usually watch uh…reality dating programs.”
“Oh, it’s much more than a dating program," the network executive said. "It brings together contestants from all of the Tadpole network’s programming slate and demonstrates what they all have in common at their core. The show is about strategy and human drama. Of course there are relationships but how can one understand the human condition without love?”
“I suppose that’s true,” Gale said cautiously. He had never watched Matchmakers but the trailer sometimes autoplayed on his Tadpole app and most of the contestants seemed to be wearing bathing suits in every shot and yelling at each other. “I’m just still not sure how I could fit into a show with quite so much human drama."

Summary
Gale's reaction was like the hiccup of a heartbeat. His gentle hands suddenly tensed around my face, then released just as quickly and stroked my cheek in apology.
"Tav, did you just say—? Taveela, can you hear me?"
His face swam in and out of my vision as a new wave of the burning heat roared through my veins. He held onto me with delicate care, but the intensity of his gaze bored into my soul.
"I need you to listen to me. I think—well, of course I can't be sure without further study. What I wouldn't give to have access to a library—"
"No tangents right now," Astarion snapped.
"Yes, yes. What I mean to say is that I think—I think, Tav, that you might…might be an omega."
Tadpoles and cults are barely the half of it for Taveela. In a world where Alphas are rare and Omegas are no more than a myth, Tav and her companions are landed with her sudden presentation and must navigate how best to see her through her heat—all while continuing their quest to rid the realm of the Cult of the Absolute. Will Tav find the family she's always yearned for? Or will the gang tear each other to shreds before any of them get a chance?

Summary
She paused as she reached forward to warm her cold hands over the fire. “If I had a gold piece for every time this kind of thing had happened to me I’d have…well, I’d only have two gold pieces. But it is wild that it’s happened twice. Let me tell you, the novelty wears off.”
Gale’s eyes went wide as he coughed out a reply: “Pardon?”

Summary
Returning home to their tower in Waterdeep, Gale's lady love (recently made his bride) seeks a kiss from her husband. Gale can't resist a bit of teasing, but it doesn't take long before he's the one being teased.
Though written with my Durge in mind, descriptions were kept vague and no names were used so readers could more easily insert their own characters.

Summary

Now, seven years later, the bard returns and makes her way to Waterdeep, where she hopes he still waits for her. But this long after that almost pyrrhic victory she is not entirely sure they can go back to how they were once. Is that necessarily a bad thing?

Summary
Gale of Waterdeep and his new lover, the Seldarine drow sorcerer Anja, learn more about each other as they make love in the purely physical realm for the first time. Gale may have his secrets, but so does Anja, and they discover that their lives may have been on paths that would cross even without their abductions by the Illithid. His belief in love newly sparked, Gale must face what he will lose if he decides to obey his goddess and detonate the orb—and what will come next if he does not.
“No magic but mine,” she whispered, as without a thought she gestured something into existence—some sort of barrier that silenced the ambient sound of their companions’ voices and the distant howling of the Shadow Curse. And presumably silenced them to those outside of it. “I want you.” She slid her hand under his robe. “This skin, this flesh, this bone. I want your body this time, Gale.”

Not Dead or Alive, but a Secret Third Thing by sistersorceress

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.
