    Summary

    Kara Nilur, a struggling musician from Baldur’s Gate, has lived in Waterdeep for four months with little to show for it. But when she takes a job in a bookshop, just to tide herself over, a chance encounter with a flustered university professor changes the course of her path.

    An AU where the events of Baldur’s Gate 3 never happened, Mystra is Gale’s human ex-wife, and Gale is really, really into romance novels.

    Summary

    He stepped into the light. “It’s not often I’m noticed before I decide to be. You might be more canny than I gave you credit for.”

    “So kind of you to admit your low estimations,” she laughed. “You might be more of an ass than I gave you credit for.”

    In all his years of servitude, he had only ever been free to pursue and seduce prey that fit his master’s preferences. Not knowing the pleasure of getting lost in a body like hers felt like another way he’d been starved.

    ****************
    Astarion’s “Nice, simple, plan,” falls apart thanks to quick-witted and full-figured fighter Titania, aka Tav. Moral quandaries are inevitable, but they find common ground in a fondness for lying, violence always being an option, and former bosses from hell— in her case, literally.

    Summary

    The love of Astarion's life has disappeared to go live in the daylight with the druids, and Astarion is stuck in the darkness once more, yearning for sunlight with every fibre of his being, while bitterly reflecting on all the things that were denied to him in the end - love, sunlight, the option to kill thousands of people and become a near-god...

    Raphael knows Astarion's desperate, and comes to him with not one, but two horrid contract offers that Astarion loathes and dreads in equal measure - but the prize at the end of both are too good to turn down, and he's become too cynical to care about how much of a good idea it is to give his body to a devil for a month or two, because really, comparatively, how bad could it be?
