Summary
Minthara Baenre rots away in idleness, her mind and her allies scattered after the fall of the Absolute. Exiled from her home, she quietly nurses her ambitions against her House, waiting to extract her revenge. When she receives a timely invitation to travel northwards to Waterdeep, City of Splendors, it almost feels as if fate has finally smiled upon her— or so it would, if a certain wizard didn't seem so intent on ruining her plans.

Summary
In a sleepy village on the Savage Frontier, a timid drow woman spends her days teaching a farmer's son how to play the flute. But when a nautiloid appears in the sky, the quiet life she's built for herself is thrown into chaos. Alone and infected with a mindflayer parasite, she's determined to find her student before she turns: even if that means forging new alliances with the strange group of survivors she finds along the way.
Adventure, friendship and slow burn romance that (loosely!) follows the events of Act 1 of Baldur's Gate 3. Now complete! :D

Summary
Gale is a former wizard prodigy searching for the perfect place to die. Simultaneously arrogant and emotionally isolated, he finds himself cursed and infected, left bloodied and penniless on the edge of nowhere. His unlikely salvation is a group of raiders: drow from Menzoberranzan with little use for maimed men or mages. Resigned to his grim fate, he's surprised to find himself spared once more on his arrival to the Underdark— this time by Minthara, a woman as clever as she is cruel, as she seeks a servant for her own mysterious ends in the City of Spiders and beyond.
An alternate universe where Gale is captured post-tadpoling, Minthara isn't a leader in the Absolute's army, but the plot of the game is still (mostly) in tact.
This story is a tragedy. Mind the tags.

Summary
What happens the morning after the forbidden?
When Magister Gale Dekarios sleeps with his student Mina and then coldly shuts her out, he expects distance to fix everything. Instead, her raw, magnetic erotic performance at the House of Splendours forces them both to face the consequences: guilt, jealousy, power, and a desire that refuses to die quietly.
Or
Gale got a lapdance, then got laid, then tried to act like nothing happened.

Summary
When the entire camp falls prey to a mysterious illness that does not react to healing magic, Lae'zel is many things, but most of all she is annoyed. Exceedingly so. Who has the time to be sick, when there's training to be done and enemies to be slayed? As she grapples with her own susceptibility to Faerûnian infections, she discovers aspects of her companions she may have been oblivious to for a while now.
