Summary
A monster sets out to seduce a monster hunter. No one ends up where they expected to be.
A sorta-songfic, based on Swans' Blood Promise. Worth a listen, and perfect for the steps of the three-act dance ahead.

Summary
“We’re going to be late,” Gale reminded her. “We’re already late.”
“But look at you,” she murmured, “I can't help it.” One hand knit itself through his hair while the other crept downward to cup him firmly through his pants.
“We don’t have time,” he gasped as he felt her teeth graze his neck.
They did have time, as it turned out.

Summary
Welcome to the Waterdhavian branch of Baldur's Book Club!
In this episode, Morena, Tara and Withers all join to have tea and discuss something Austen-adjacent. Gale and Niamh (OC/Tav from The Warp and the Weft series) are also invited; hijinks ensue. This story evolved from a prompt by lemonwoodwrites on Tumblr (many thanks).
You don't necessarily need to have read The Loom of Fate for this to make sense, but it will certainly help!

Summary
The gods of the Forgotten Realms are bound for eternity – or for as long as they live – to their domains.
What is left behind?
This is a sonnet based around the Galetober prompt set created by artsywarden on Tumblr. My goal was to use all thirty-one prompts in a single poem.

Summary
Fate, destiny - none of it seems to matter much when you're under the yoke of an endless infernal debt. Finally free, Niamh sets out to begin a new life. She will find out just how much it matters when she's abducted by mindflayers and thrown into an uneasy alliance with a group of strangers.
Gale isn't a big believer in fate, but he does believe his death is close to hand when the illithid ship takes him. He'll learn just how wrong he is - and just how much life can offer - when he meets Niamh.
---
Slowburn friend-to-lovers romance, heaps and heaps of pining, eventual smut (check my oneshots if you'd like a sample) and a bonus minor Bloodpact on the side.
This fic is intended as a semi-novelization of the game, with some expansions to canon, some filler for plot holes, and a lot of Forgotten Realms/tabletop lore with a big focus on bards and artificers.

Summary
This series follows Gale and my tiefling swords bard Tav, Niamh.
The first is a completed romance/adventure longfic, following the plot of the game but with some major expansion to a few NPCs and several plot hole fixes based on Forgotten Realms lore. Not a novelization as such - I very rarely reproduce in-game dialogue, for example.
The rest in the series are linked oneshots, which you can consider to be outtakes from the longfic. Some are spicy, some are not.
Some of the shorter fics are companion-centered, but still tie into the full narrative of Loom.

Summary
Six months after the fall of the Netherbrain, Withers plans to send out an invitation to the heroes of Faerun, bringing them all back together for a lovely little reunion party.
Five months after the fall of the Netherbrain, someone else beats him to it.
(In which I take the six main BG3 companions, dump them into a Curse of Strahd campaign, close the lid, and shake vigorously.)

Summary
Scratch barked and then tilted his head, to see if barking did anything. Gale pulled down his nightgown around his muddy thighs and said ‘My apol-’ He coughed wetly and dripping lumps of purple sprayed across his front. ‘Sorry,’ he managed. ‘None of that was very dignified. My sincerest apologies about your necklace. I know it meant a lot to you.’ He drank messily, urgently, straight from a jug.
((the necklace? The necklace?!)) Ileleste’s hands shook as he signed. ((let me look at your arm!))
‘Why?’ He wiped his beard down cleanly and precisely with an embroidered handkerchief. A drop of water ran down his chest, past the scars of the orb and soaked into his nightgown. It was still white in places, but mostly it was red, brown and yellow; stuck stiffly to his shaking knees. ‘Never better.’
...
The Orb is worse. Gale learns that the mute silk-farming drow he’s travelling with has knowledge of ancient Netherese magic but his attempt at finding a way for them to communicate properly fails. At every trance the drow's past creeps alongside him, becoming realer. The wreckage of Netheril binds them both. Can they escape? Will it be worth it?

Summary
‘I’m not illiterate,' I said, defensively. ‘I can read.’
I know you can read, said ART. We read One Hundred Light-Years of Solitude together last week and your analysis was very insightful. It paused. It never occurred to me that you might not be able to generate written messages in hardspace.
It's Iris' birthday, and everyone really wants SecUnit to sign her card. There's just one small problem with that.

Summary
I had been incredibly skeptical when Ratthi had sent me ‘Midnight Eclipse.’ I knew what fanfiction was, I had seen it in the more niche entertainment feeds before. Never specifically for Sanctuary Moon, but I'd assumed it existed. That didn't mean I had any actual interest in it, though. When I had first looked at them, I hadn't liked them. The quality varied too much and a lot of them weren't finished, or were really short, or really out of character. And I hated that. I really really hated that.
This one was different.
