Summary
Tav is a bhaalspawn. She was made to be used. Not to choose. Not to wonder. Not to want.
Gale disagrees—especially regarding the latter.
Or: After the defeat of the Netherbrain, Withers places a majorly suicidal and unkillable Tav into Gale’s care. You know, for fate reasons.

Summary
“Ellia, it is a genuine pleasure.” He held his right hand out once more. She stared at the bandages, now slightly out of place by her pulling, and the slivers of exposed skin beneath: dark, purpling grey with a cracked-stone texture. Flashes of injuries and maladies skittered across her mind—nothing matched what she saw in him.
“I don’t want to hurt you,” she said with an indicating nod.
His smile turned wry. “Believe me, the damage there has already been done. But perhaps you’re right, and this will be better.” He swapped one hand for the other. A moment’s hesitation, then she accepted. His touch was warm. His skin more worn, more lived-in, than what she’d expected from a study-bound wizard. She wondered, dimly, what he felt in her hand. If the illusion would hold true under such direct connection, and what would happen if he realized who she truly was. But then his hand was gone and her wondering went with it. It didn’t matter. They wouldn’t be together long.
A novelization of BG3, reframed as a romance between Gale and a resistant Durge with alternating POVs. Elements of concept Gale. More Alfira. More Tara. More reactivity to Durge actions. Puns.
* = Explicit Content. Starts on chapter 40.

Summary
The Forgotten Ones weren't always... well, forgotten. The stories were likely partially true, the tales of cruelty and hiding in the darkness. They were everything they shouldn't have been - those who caused terror, pain, despair. The woman the world would eventually know as Inquisitor Lavellan was, in fact, a Forgotten One. Somehow Isathe was not imprisoned by the Dread Wolf in the abyss with the rest of them. Whatever the reason, the former spirit of Curiosity coaxed into physical form was stuck in the aftermath of that event. She felt the moment the Veil was created and pulled her even farther from her home. Then she slept. Slept for thousands of years until she woke in a world where elves were no longer what they had been. She had to find a way to stay alive and adjust to the world that formed from the Betrayal so long ago.
Isathe was an ancient elf, a member of the Forgotten Ones and awakened years before the Breach before being pulled into the Inquisition. Hiding herself from the prying eyes of those who would condemn her for her past, the wolf that haunts her dreams and the unsettling gaze of the apostate elf who appeared to know more than he let on.

Summary
When V plays her game, she prowls bars and clubs looking for fresh meat to submit to her every whim. All of Night City is her hunting ground. On this night, she meets a distractingly attractive cop and her life starts to shift to orbit him. Soon enough, they uncover another predator hunting in the city and make it their mission to stop him.
This fic has some canon events and retells others in a non-canon way. It also follows a brand new storyline that sees River and V team up to solve a crucial missing person's case and do their best to take down an up-and-coming drug ring wreaking havoc across Night City's murky underbelly. Look forward to heaps of pining, yearning, smut, and thrills as events progress.
