Summary
On the worst day of her life, Kara of Creche El meets Lena Luthor, Cleric of Shaar. The rest of the superfriends take on the roles of the BG3 cast. There are no actual BG3 characters in this story (unless you count the gods, which I consider to be more setting that character in this case).
OR
100 years ago, elven wizard Lex Luthor met Bhaalspawn Clark Kent and realized there were many paths that a mortal could take to become a god. This is not that story.Wide hazel green eyes met Kara’s. The istik’s weight was not uncomfortable, but Kara could feel cold of the istik’s chainmail where it pressed into bare flesh of Kara’s arms. Carefully, Kara held her as she felt the istik’s breathing slow and steady. Only then, did Kara smile and slowly help the istik regain her feet. For support, as Alex had done for her, Kara let her hands lingered just a little, only pulling back after it became clear that the istik could stand on her own.
The istik seemed transfixed by the sight of Kara. “You’re gith,” she breathed, shock thready in her voice.

Summary
Whenever it all got to be too much, whenever the fear and panic and denial and longing rose too high in her chest, Imogen would press her ear against the creaky floorboards of her bedroom, close her eyes to the dust under her bed, and listen to the life she was never going to have.
Or: A 1950s AU. Imogen is closeted, Laudna writes fix-its for lesbian pulps, and the city’s clandestine gay bar is right underneath Imogen’s new apartment.

Summary
Then Sam asks, “Would you like to see me again?”
It’s an odd way to put the onus on her. Certainly more than what those who’ve tried in the past have done. Bold, Andrea thinks, even if it has her tilting her head in thought and arching her brow in challenge. “Do I?”
An amused huff escapes out of Sam’s lips, and Andrea is struck with a sudden urge to kiss (but doesn’t because she’s not a teenager). “I mean, I’d like it if you did. But I understand if this is just a one time thing.”
Sam then takes a receipt from her blazer pocket and a pen before scribbling something down.
“Here’s my number then, just in case you reach a verdict.”
Andrea purses her lips. “Oh, no. Not lawyer humor. I’ll have to seriously reconsider.”
OR
andrea and sam fall into a 'no strings attached' situation. and then, you know, strings happened.

Summary
It took years but finally Doctor Laudna Bradbury had everything she'd ever wanted: a place where she belonged, important work.
It took a week to lose everything.
Stinging from her dismissal, Laudna found herself living in a house she had wished never to see again. So when the invitation arrived to take up the mantle of Head of Restoration at the Musee D'Emon, Laudna leapt at the chance to work again. With new troubles emerging in the wake of her controversial speech, and old ghosts haunting the halls of her childhood home, perhaps Laudna should not have agreed to plan the Musee's Grand Gala but the benefits outweighed any risk.
Meanwhile, Imogen Temult had a foolproof plan to get through life: head down, work hard, repeat. It hadn't failed her yet. But work ethic couldn't protect her from everything - not from a bad reputation, and not from her curiosity regarding the Musee's most recent hire.
She'd never attended the Grand Gala before. Surely this year wouldn't be any different.
