Summary
For a short moment Enver Gortash had had it all. He had thought he had won, just for one idiotic hero to ruin it all. To make things worse, that one hero had not even had the decency to kill him.
Ever since then, two years have passed. Enver is a prisoner of Baldur's Gate, though Ravengard has given him a small chance to make up for things. But Enver knows that there is no forgiving his actions. Neither will a decent person forgive his evil, nor will Bane ever forgive his failure. And then he learns that he has sinned in the eyes of one more god: Oghma, whose church makes sure the technology in Faerûn cannot advance too far.

Summary
At the end of it all, outside the Steel Watch foundry, when they stood before each other for the final time, the hardest part for Barcus was not the physical cleaving of himself from Wulbren, as he was already so used to being pushed away. It was not that Wulbren would not see reason, or even that when passion finally flared in his eyes as he looked at Barcus, it was clear, virulent hatred.
No, the hardest part of all was turning away, only to be left with the simple fact of his loneliness. Without Wulbren, who was Barcus, after all? What life was left for him to live?
He did not know.
***
Nearly a year out from the fall of the Absolute, Barcus Wroot finds he has the strength in him for one more go at love, after all.

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
In the brutal world of the Baldur's Games, 24 tributes are chosen to fight to the death, and only one will survive. Nisha, selected for the 79th Games, has fought to stay alive her entire life—but now she faces a challenge that may very well be her end. Her mentor, Astarion, a charismatic winner of the 69th games, trains her in a brutal strategy: win the audience's favor to secure sponsorship, but show no mercy in the arena. He urges Nisha to eliminate her rivals early, never trust anyone, and never hesitate to kill.
As the Games approach, Nisha struggles with past and present feelings for Astarion, but he seems to have forgotten her. In a world where survival means sacrificing humanity, Nisha must decide if she really can do whatever it takes to survive. Will she outlast the bloodshed, or will the Games consume her—and everything she once was? The clock is ticking, and only one will emerge alive.

Summary
The hunger was getting to him.
The longer they travelled through the Underdark, the harder it became.
There was nothing here to feed on that didn’t come with claws, fangs, or a lethal temperament that he could hunt alone.
And now, starving, weakened, he was starting to feel the gnawing of his hunger, sharpening every glance he threw at his traveling companions. He loathed himself for it.

Summary
It took a moment for the Elf’s words to fully register. “Ancunín? Wait. You’re A. Ancunín?”
Gale’s fluttering heart slammed down into his stomach. He dropped Astarion’s hand, his own smile becoming more strained. Of course his entitled deskmate would be attractive; he was likely used to getting anything he wanted through charm. Well Gale wasn’t falling for it.-
Gale cannot stand his coworker Astarion and Astarion cannot understand why his coworker Gale is being such a dick.

Summary
In the third part of this collab series, Barcus is lost in the woods again... He stumbles into the tadpole gang's camp late at night, relieved to see familiar faces for a brief moment before he realises what he's walked in on!
Astarion has been dealing with his hunger as best as he can, but he's reaching the limits of what wildlife can provide. His secret won't matter for much longer if he's too weak to fight, or even to keep up with the companions who have accepted him into their group. What harm is there in a little snack?...
- Sample -
“I can explain,” Astarion growled, eyes searching the camp quickly for any sign of movement as he came up with an alternative plan. “Just…not here. Come with me.”
“You expect me to follow you after you-”
“After I what? I have committed no crime. At least, not here.” He allowed himself the moment of a grin, a quiet threat to the gnome still trying to put on a brave face in his shadow. “Hear me out first, then if you simply must wake the whole camp and demand my head on a pike, so be it.”
“Well, now, let’s not be too hasty…” Barcus began to hesitate. Perfect. His guard was dropping.
“This way.”

Summary
His eyes shot open, just as the pod opened and he fell forwards, landing heavily on his front. On his back, he could still feel his warhammer, making him sigh in relief when he realized that he hadn’t been completely stripped of his gear. His hand moved to the locket that was underneath his armour, giving it a gentle squeeze, before pushing himself to his feet and moving forwards.
It was then that he spotted the masked figure standing by the pool that held the mindflayer tadpoles.
