Summary
It's finally over: the Absolute has been defeated and Baldur's Gate has been saved. A month after the final battle, everyone's gone to pursue their own destinies - everyone but Tav. She might be home now but she's never felt more lost, struggling to pick up the pieces of the life she left behind.
Rolan got everything he wanted: his family is safe and sound, and he is the new Master of Ramazith's Tower. He won, and all he has to do now is prove that he's up to the task. It should be easy, so easy - but then why does he feel like he's constantly failing?
One night they meet again, and a proposition rekindles the spark between them.
But when Tav's world crumbles around her and secrets are revealed, it's Rolan's hand she reaches for. Will he be there to catch her?(or, Tav meddles and Rolan stands his ground)

Summary
The Academy’s end of year party has always been widely successful: it marks the end of a particularly intense exam session for the students, and the start of the well-earned break. Two weeks of rest, during which most students go home to their families, travel, forget about their classes and lectures and teachers.
As if you ever could.--

Summary
Tav meets Rolan at the Grove. She’s nothing but trouble and he’s a pompous prick, so why in the Realms would they want anything to do with each other?
(or, Tav will not take shit from anyone (even if they have pretty flaming eyes) and Rolan will not tolerate nonsense (even if he's drawn to it))---

i burned my fingers on this forbidden fire (a rolan x tav story) by paper_boat
Fandom Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
19 Nov 2025
Summary
All Tav has ever known was a perfect, easy life - until her abduction. Now, she’s been thrown in the middle of a large-scale mind-flayer conspiracy that threatens to destroy the world. To add to her troubles, she has no choice but to become a hero and save the world.
It could be almost simple, if only a certain wizard wasn’t always in her way, brushing her off and haunting her dreams with flaming eyes and a greedy smile.
As she learns to collect the lost parts of herself, there is one who could help. And who knows, amongst the chaos, she might find her way back home.---
Long slow-burn between (F!Human) Tav & Rolan, in which Tav is the Faerûn equivalent of a nepo baby and Rolan is, well, Rolan.

Summary
“This is wrong,” Jayce rasped, his voice strained with torment, so unlike the Jayce that had left mere hours ago to dance and drink and make merry and maybe even make love to the beautiful Mel Medarda. “This is too far back, I shouldn’t be here—”
This Jayce was like a wild animal, bearded and shaggy, furious and heartbroken.
The huge weapon thudded to the floor once again, and Viktor finally dared to speak.
“Jayce, is that… you?”
Stewing in his loneliness, research assistant Viktor witnesses an Anomaly take place in the laboratory he shares with Jayce Talis, potentially altering life as they know it (or might never come to know).

[user @gloriousovulation has been banned.]When acclaimed pop star Jayce Talis and experimental producer MACHINE HERALD’s fans start an all-out war, they have to fake a friendship for the PR. Too bad they can’t stand each other.

Summary
“I don’t know you, Viktor,” her tone was joking, but what she said was true; they had barely met, after all. “I don’t know your prospective on things. The only real thing I know about you is that you have great hands– for building things and useless tricks, you know?” she smirked.
That was it. That was the moment he knew he had to take, a surge of confidence making him sit up straight.
“Would you like to? Get to know me, I mean.”
The sun had almost set, a ray of golden light directly illuminating her eyes. She had freckles, he noticed. There was no coming back from this, but Viktor was sure his instincts were right. He had seen her frown disappear once she’d recognized him in the library, he had felt the gentle squeeze of her hand on his bicep. He had noticed her eyes lingering on the beauty mark on his top lip.
“Is it worth it?” she asked, her smile deepening.
“Definitely.”

Summary
"All signs point to your soulmate, the root cause of all this pain, is potentially nearing his end. The confirmation comes when one morning you find your lungs seizing, and in a fit of coughs that produce phlegm you realize it’s not phlegm at all."

Summary
You press your forehead to his lightly and whisper your thanks again, and “What you did was more than enough. You will always be more than enough.”
He tightens the arm still looped around your waist and pulls you impossibly closer, the hand on your face slipping to the back of your neck, mirroring you. This is how things have always been between you two and how they should stay: clearly caring and loving, yet a certain line never crossed.

You really can’t even begin to understand the way he sees you, huh? The lengths he’d go to for you?
