Summary
I wanted it to be published on ResearchGate, but they declined, so I made an account on AO3. Just kidding, it’s a fantasy story.
Summary:
Infected with an alien larva that will overwrite her body, Talula — a wizard whose spellcasting has grown rusty — has only days, a kleptomaniacal companion, and her analytical mind to find a cure, but each of her well-considered decisions breeds a worse disaster.Notes:
– Tav1 (Talula) is tadpoled and Tav2 (Yu-On) isn’t, to have two characters to interact with the world from different perspectives.
– All other OCs are my other Tavs who needed to be honoured as well, but they got only roles of “the mob” for completing the side quests and driving the plot forwards, since Tav1 is a confused fellow.
– There are no canon party companions because this story is devoted to the Emperor, out of my disappointment with how he has been sidelined by the game developers. Source:the gameBaldur’s Gate III and the Queer Politics of Monstrosity
