    Summary

    A paladin of Ilmater, Ilya Barghest was raised in Rivington's Open Hand Temple. Ilya seems to be the perfect Ilmatari, he is kind, caring, brave, heroic, and gentle, he has also been voted by the ladies of Rivington to be Baldur's Gate's most handsome priest for several years in a row now.

    However, such high expectations and tremendous pressure can take a toll on anyone, and Ilya sometimes wonders if his hobbies and his methods are in line with a proper paladin. For one, he abhors violence, preferring diplomacy even when dealing with devils and demons. He is also very fond of drinking and casual sex, which he is acutely aware many of his fellows would judge him for.

    This collection will archive various encounters Ilya has had with various partners from random people he meets whose suffering might be eased by a night in his company, to his eventual long term relationships including with a certain fellow tiefling who knows a thing or two about being under pressure to achieve.

    Summary

    Abducted by mind flayers, Astarion finds himself freed from Cazador's palace, a tadpole stowed away inside his brain. He can walk unharmed in the sun, enter mortal homes without invitation and swim in rivers if he so chose, but he is not free. No, his freedom can only come at the point of a dagger, buried deep in his tormentor's heart.

    The plan is simple, manipulate one of these unsuspecting doo-gooders into aiding him. To make them fall so madly in love with him that they would protect him against any who would do him harm, to be the weapon he would need to end Cazador for good. Seduce and manipulate, it would be easy. He had done it countless times before, after all.

    Henbane, the drow warlock amongst them was an easy choice. The drow however, is not what she seems. Her blood red eyes hint toward a haunted past, and there are secrets that lie hidden in her very blood.

    It's the perfect plan, all he has to do is not fall for her.

    Summary

    Gale was steadfast at her side—always. Selina might not be the woman she was when they met, but she was still Selina. He still loved her, even though his never fading feelings choked him with guilt almost every day. It felt entirely too wrong to love the shell that she had become, yet he did. He’d love her in any shape or form, at any age, in any circumstance. If her resentment lingered when her grief waned, he’d happily be her punching bag. If she hated him for caring for her, if she wanted to hurt him, he’d let her. There was not much more to it.

    If Selina ever felt the desire to kill him, he’d first find immortality, only to give her the satisfaction of being able to do it over and over again.

    It seemed, eventually, she caught on.

    . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

    Or, Gale Dekarios has loved Selina (Tav) since the moment she pulled him from the portal—but her heart has always belonged to another. When Astarion dies a year after the fall of the Netherbrain, Gale invites himself into the quiet ruin of her grief. He tells himself he’s only there to help her heal, to guide her through the loss of love. Of course, that's easier said than done.

    Summary

    Magic was his life, all she remembers is blood. He lost his future, she lost her past.

    Though Gale seems like the least dangerous member of their party, Tav suspects he's hiding something. Though Tav seems like the most lethal, Gale notices there's something off about her behaviors.

    Keeping their inner demons at bay marks the fine line between keeping allies in their search for a cure to ceremorphosis, or being cast aside as liabilities. But perhaps if the latter comes to pass, they can lean on each other...If they can get past their grievous differences.

    Summary

    "Such a well-mannered boy you are."

    The words elicit a muffled moan from Rae, further encouraging Astarion to lean down, to push his fangs agonizingly slow into the inked flesh of his lover's neck. Skin breaks, and a maddening warmth floods Astarion, blood and arousal in equal parts.

    Summary

    When Astarion comes to in the glaring brightness of the midday sun, he thinks he's died for the second time. Or perhaps it's an illusion. A hallucination.

    But no, it's none of that. The world has simply gone mad. The old rules are gone, new ones have been slapped on instead, and no one has bothered to explain anything to him.

    Before Astarion has time to process any of this, he's thrown into adventure with a bunch of strangers – emphasis on strange. But it's all right. He'll survive. He always does, whatever it takes.

    Summary

    Discovered abandoned as a baby, Qyunn'aris was raised in an Empire of elves for no other reason than an Empress' mercy. Constantly forced to prove himself as more than a drow’s unwanted spawn, Qyunn showed himself loyal to the Empire of Stars, joining its order of knights and eventually being assigned to guard the Empire's charming but spoiled Prince Astarion, who, despite descending from a long line of sorcerers, is magically inept. Despite this, the two adore each other, their bond teetering past friendship and into forbidden love. A love that is threatened when the Empress suddenly announces the Prince is to pick a spouse from a competition of eligible suitors.

    In danger of being torn apart, the forbidden lovers' lives are shaken up when a tentacle ship kidnaps them both and inserts a deadly tadpole in their heads. Now, they must team up with a ragtag group of adventurers to get the Prince home. If this inconvenience wasn’t enough, they discover that darker forces are at work around them, conspiring against the well-being of the Empire, and the Prince's upcoming nuptials might not be the only thing trying to keep them apart.

    Summary

    She had been lovely wearing little more than gemstones, but she was resplendent wearing little more than the blood of the bitch who tried to own her.
    _____

    Before becoming a True Soul of the Absolute, Minthara called upon the help of a pleasure slave to eliminate a rival house. They parted ways expecting to never see one another again, but it seems the Absolute has brought them back into each other’s lives. To save the world, or to break it?

    Summary

    The nautiloid ship abducting Inna was a blessing in disguise.
    As a child she was taken from the streets of Baldur’s Gate and raised in a secluded convent near Candlekeep in the ways of honoring Oghma. But all her peers and elders saw when they looked at her, was a drow - born to be wicked and beyond redemption. When Inna's protector Nyssara passed away, there was nothing left to shield her from the abuse until the Illithids came and took her away - inadvertently introducing her to a gentle wizard who stole her heart.
    All Inna ever wanted was to be loved for who she was.

    Just before entering the Shadow-cursed lands Inna has a tender moment with Gale under the stars and realises she is in love with him, but Astarion and his charms are always around the corner.

    "In fact, I encourage you to do much more with the druid than just kiss him.”

    Tav blinked at him. “Really?” he asked.

    “Well, on one condition,” Astarion amended.

    “I found him in a barrel.” Tav looks almost proud of herself. She passes the kitten over before Shadowheart can stop her. “You’re Sharran, right? You like all things darkness and night. Black kitten seems right up your alley.”

    Team Tadpole adopts a cat. It goes about as well as you’d expect.

    Summary

    Astarion watched her from the shadows, his keen gaze catching the way her soft body moved as she worked, the little roll of her stomach when she leaned forward. She was so alive—warm, kind, and heartbreakingly unaware of her effect on others. Gale was seated nearby, seemingly focused on a book, but Astarion wasn’t fooled. The wizard’s eyes flicked to Tav often, lingering when she laughed softly at her own thoughts or tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear as she worked.

    It was intolerable, really. The way Gale looked at her—his Tav—as if she were some celestial object of study. And yet, Astarion couldn’t summon the venom he wanted to. After all, Gale wasn’t wrong. Tav was remarkable, and she wasn't his.. not yet.

    Summary

    What makes a person?

    Is it a name? Something attached to you since birth? Something a god or nature provided?
    If that is the case, the bard is unsure if she can be called a person. Names are like a job title to her, like gauze, like a hat: something fictional, disposable, and a prop.
    Jane Doe, Zoe De Schanel, Jessica Day, Summer Finn, and many more have come and gone for The Bard.
    She honestly cannot even be sure if she can refer to herself as “The Bard”. Does she have the abilities of one? Yes, but rarely are her original works received well and even more rarely is she a capable spellcaster. All she really has is a tongue she dipped in silver and an uncanny ability to pump out paintings at lightning speed.

    She is incredibly ill equiped for adventure but keeps fucking getting tossed into it. Again and again and again.
    Tav in this is a girl failure who tries to be a girlboss. College of Eloquence Bard. She sucks but we love her.

    Platonic relationship focus
    Tav will be "Tav"
    More focus on character interactions and moments
    Tav’s backstory does involve actual important people in the Forgotten Realms to maximize angst
