Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

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.--

Tav and her companions have finally reached Last Light Inn hoping for safe haven, but all she finds there are a grieving drunk Tiefling and the overwhelming urge to make things right.

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))---

Summary
"tell me, why are you so afraid of your own power?"
effie has the world at her fingertips, yet she wants nothing more than to let it all go.
(honestly, she would have been fine with just being an ordinary witch. did the awakening of her magic also have to include mysterious ancient powers, complicated feelings, fighting dark wizards, curses, secrets, teenage boys, gossip, monsters and spiders? that's right, she didn't think so either.)

Summary
They say home isn't a place, it's a person.
Or, in that case, a bunch of people.---
Inspired by this post on Tumblr: "Sometimes a family is a lady detective, her lady’s maid, a child thief, a lesbian doctor, a butler, two communist ex-dockers turned taxi drivers, a fussy old aunt, a Protestant constable and a long suffering inspector."
