Summary
"There is a situation in Waterdeep. A wizard named Gale Dekarios. He has ... acquired something that poses a significant threat to the city."
"What are my orders?"
"Surveillance. Watch him. Monitor the situation. Report any changes in his condition or behavior. If the orb becomes too unstable, you are to enact this protocol."
"I understand the parameters of the mission, Father. I will not fail."
"May Mystra guide your steps,"
_______________________________He was only ever supposed to be a target, she became his savior. Together, they'll defy the gods, save the world, and claim their own seats in the pantheon.
(This one's for all the Mystra haters)
*A note on Elvish - there is no full D&D Elvish language so I'm just doing my best with whatever I can cobble together from the internet, we'll just go with it.

Summary
Ruin and Minthara’s long-planned invasion of Menzoberranzan has been interrupted with news from the stars: a battered and broken Lae’zel has arrived with a dire warning: Vlaakith is hunting any who had opposed her.
It’s not the only problem: Gortash, under the physical strain of becoming Bane’s Exarch, has begun showing signs of instability.
Will Gortash and Ruin be able to hold it all together? Or will a vengeful Elminster finally topple their reign?
Post-canon, endgame plot fic. If you like drow politics, liches, worldbuilding, and a plot that involves deities (oh, and Ascended Astarion descending into madness) this might be the one for you.

Summary
Several months had passed since Gale’s marriage to Mystra ended, and the idea of diving back into the dating world held little appeal. After a series of disastrous first dates arranged by well-meaning friends, Gale reluctantly agreed to try out a new dating app, only to discover it was more geared toward casual hook-ups than finding a meaningful relationship.
Despite his initial reservations, Gale spent an evening testing the app, scrolling through profiles until he paused on one that caught his eye - a stunning, pale elf with the username Starlight69. On impulse, he marked the profile as a favourite and decided to call it a night. But just as he was about to put his phone away, a message from Starlight69 appeared on his screen…
Starlight69: Hello, darling~ 😈
Without hesitation, Astarion attached a rather flattering photo of himself - nude, of course.

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
The missing decade that only Enver remembers. How Durge and Enver met, how they became allies, friends, and then much more.
From the beginning all the way until the end of the game.This will be a slow slow slow burn. It will also involve much more cannon Forgotten Realms lore than most fanfiction does, as I was sucked into a rabbit hole while trying to do only cursory research for this and have now taken accuracy around my eventual smut as a challenge.
I will update the tags as we go along but Durge has intense intrusive thoughts, Raphael did horrible things to Enver, they're going to kill a loooooootttttt of people, and -eventually- Enver and Durge hold hands.

Summary
Then a third, and up till now completely unthinkable, thing occurred. The portal behind Gale yawned open once more. Underneath the dissonant crackling of the portal’s magic, Gale could hear the distinct sound of a voice yelling and cursing in a foreign language. And before the wizard could register what in all nine hells was happening, a young woman was spat out of the portal like a wad of Chessentan chewing tobacco. She crashed into Gale’s chest, exactly like he had crashed into her the day before. Unlike Gale though, Brix did not immediately brush herself off and greet him with a practiced smile.
Instead, she resumed her cursing. At least, that’s what Gale assumed it was. He couldn’t glean any singular word from her outburst, except one terribly rude four-letter word, which was now sprinkled liberally into every other sentence.
“You!” she finally shouted and pointed an accusatory finger at Gale. “What the fuck did you do?!”

Summary
Gale of Waterdeep is a chosen of Mystra, he is an archmage, and now he is starting out as the new Palace wizard to the king of Cormyr. What Gale did not expect was for the king's wild magic sorceress daughter to be so... fascinating.
With the sun casting golden hues over the spires of the royal palace, Gale guided his steed through the towering gates, his heart thrumming with anticipation, and no small amount of nerves. His robes, embroidered with intricate arcane sigils, billowed slightly in the breeze as he dismounted with practiced ease, though his fingers fidgeted at the edges of his sleeves. A deep breath steadied him; this was it.
A pair of guards clad in polished armour stepped forward, their expressions unreadable beneath their helms until one recognized the insignia upon Gale’s cloak, the mark of Mystra’s favour. With a respectful bow, they ushered him inside, where the grand hall stretched before him, its vaulted ceilings adorned with banners bearing the crest of the Royals of Cormyr. He is the new palace wizard, the keeper of knowledge in the library, the consultant of the Weave, the arcane practitioner, the magic advisor to the King, a chosen of Mystra herself. -

Summary
After accepting Gale's offer to teach him magic, Astarion learns a thing or two about himself he'd long forgotten. Now he just needs to decide what to do with this information.
Now Gale’s smile did fall, a firm, confused frown taking its place. “You didn’t feel that?”
“Feel what, darling?”
“That . . . crackle, in the weave when you casted? You truly didn’t sense the way it clung to you?”
Astarion rolled his eyes, waving the wizard off.
“Astarion . . . do you not know you’re a sorcerer?” Gale asked, his frown deepening.Series

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.
