Summary
He finally stopped across the bar top from her. “If you’re busy having a crisis, I can come back,” he offered, his curious amber eyes fixed on hers. “One hates to impose.”
She snorted, looking up at him through the shock-white hair that had fallen loose from her bun during her sulk. “Does one?”
“Oh,” he deadpanned, shaking his head, “most assuredly.”
With Baldur's Gate rebuilt and her friends scattered to the winds, Tav decides to settle down as a tavern keeper and relax into a quiet retirement of serving drinks and spinning stories. Unfortunately, every single one of her new neighbors seems to think she's untrustworthy at best and terrifying at worst.
Every one, that is, except Rolan.

Summary
I think it goes without saying that you have a room here--anytime.
When Rolan and his family offered Tav a place to stay, she thought it would only be temporary--a few days at most. But the handsome master of Ramazith's Tower, grumpy as he was, seemed to have a soft spot for this exhausted adventurer.
And a brief respite soon became a permanent residence.

Summary
Amara is out of balance. The universe craves balance out of every insignificant soul who lives in it and has a keen sense for whenever one who thinks themself particularly clever eludes a fate they should have succumbed to. The more a soul struggles, the more creative the universe becomes. Especially when "the universe" happens to be a vengeful deitous entity.
Amara now realizes this fact should have been disclosed in some semblance of a footnote when she first learned the art of Chronomancy.
The moment she realizes the universe has struck again, this time saddling her with a strange voice, a dangerous parasite, and the knowledge of her participation in what is more of an epidemic than a singular punishment, Amara must fight her immediate urge to simply rewind. This time, she has to admit the prophetic deity intent on claiming her life has finally gotten creative enough.
If she wants to limit the damage these parasites can do to in the future, she will have to guard her life, her intentions, and — from one of her companions — even her heart.

This work is a complete novelization of a fictionalized playthrough of Baldur's Gate!

Summary
"What?"
"Hm." Lia smiles in a way that looks slightly threatening; the way Tav imagines a shark would smile at a seal before taking a huge chunk out of it. "Nothing, really. Only, you weren't that flushed before Rolan spoke in infernal. Got a thing for the devil's tongue, have you Tav?"~~~
Rolan speaks infernal. Tav is incredibly normal about it.

Summary
“Go to hell,” he said to his former selves even though today they already had.
“And good evening to you too, Gale,” a voice quipped from the shadows. Like she had this afternoon here she was again a hand pulling him out from a mess of his own making. She leaned towards him from the shadows her hands clasped behind her back grinning widely as he had grown accustomed to.
---
Gale and Tav come from two very different worlds. One is the former Chosen of Mystra now disgraced and cursed with a Netherese orb in his chest that craves more and more Weave to keep it from exploding it's host and all around it. The other is a former street urchin turned Guild member and sorcerer with a dark past and a tendency to surge with wild magic at the least appropriate times. Secrets and tension build until they can no longer resist the inevitable. Can either make up for their mistakes in their past? Or will they surge and combust out of control?**If you are here for the smut that can be found in Chapters 14, 25, 28, 31, and 35 so far. **

Summary
A series of vignettes (highly specific, story-oriented one-shots I'm too stubborn to make into a multi-chapter singular work) about Gale and his growing attraction to Eudora, the camp's Eilistraee-aligned drow quartermaster and former occupant (prisoner) of The Roaming Rook.

Summary
Tara flew to his shoulder and gazed down with him, taking in the scene.
“Do you see it?” he whispered. “What…”
“I see it.” She rubbed her cheek against his, her tail curling around his hunched shoulders.
“What does it mean?”
“It means hope, Gale. It means something real.”—
Gale is a divination wizard, but a mere shadow of his former glory.
Aoife is an Oath of the Ancients paladin, haunted by the grief of her past.
A year after their fateful first meeting Aoife's path crosses the Wizard of Waterdeep's once more. But as the two are drawn together, Gale's misfortune with the orb and Aoife's long-held sorrow aren't the only dark shadows cast upon them by the past, and soon their fates become as entangled as the threads of the Weave.

Summary
It wasn’t Mystra that he wanted, that much remained clear even as all clarity began to slip away. It wasn’t her hands that he craved. He hadn’t thought about her face when he had pumped desperately into his shaking hand every night previous, and it hadn’t been her name on his lips when he had ejaculated hot spurts of semen into his fist.
Gale/reader's f! Tav.
I deliberately left all descriptions of Tav as vague and non-descript as possible so that the reader can make her whomever they wish her to be. No mentions of name, race, class, or physical description (beyond the absolute necessities).
Submitted for your approval. 🙏
I hope that you enjoy. ❤️

Summary
Mystra's love had been an inferno: scorching, passionate, and then ash. He had believed that's what love would always be, all powerful and all consuming, something that would take from him until he had nothing left to give.
And yet, when he looked into the eyes of woman who had pulled him from that sigil, he saw no inferno. Her love didn't blaze like a thousand suns; it was gentle, warm, and soft.
They were different. He'd do well to remember that.
Gale struggles to separate his past from his present and the woman he loves gets caught in the crossfire. As old wounds reopen between them, he realises that one's past may be harder to overcome than he thought and the ideal of their shared future becomes increasingly uncertain.

Summary
They had not gotten along, at least at first.
Bal had acquaintances along the Sword Coast but none were wizards. A few fellow sorcerers but most definitely no wizards. By the nine hells did she find them arrogant and, consequently, difficult to get along with.
In her opinion, Gale embodied all the worst traits of wizardkind. The man was pompous, hubristic, and by the gods he never shut up.
-----
Bal hid away from the world for three years in Baldur's Gate to deal with her grief, unfortunately, that didn't save her from being snatched up by the nautiloid. Begrudgingly saddled with the title of leader, she tentatively begins to make friends again, opening her heart to her fellow tadpals, and carving out a special place for Mystra's former Chosen.
But the weight of the Sword Coast's fate rests heavily on her shoulders, and love is not always easy. When further loss and expectations take their toll, she flees from the one she cherishes most, unable to handle that he will pass long before she does.
Time and soul-searching will heal Bal's wounds, but only if she can face her fears and doubts.

Summary
Echo has lived her life tucked away in the forests of Tethir, learning magic through the pulse of nature and the songs of creation. She's good with magic, but not people, which isn't really a problem until she's scooped up by mind flayers and has to get along with six strangers lest they all share a tentacle-y doom. And she manages to get along with most of them -- but then there's Gale of Waterdeep. Despite a terrible first impression, she finds he is actually much kinder than all the mansplaining would suggest.
This is a series of relationship scenes about my weird little mushroom hermit, a wizard who shows compassion and arrogance really can coexist, and how academic rivalry is like first base for wizards.
