Summary
Astarion heard Gale swallow thickly and then he could smell it. Lust. Sweet and fragrant. The wizard's gaze flicked down to his mouth.
All at once everything fell into place.
Of course he wouldn't take him to his bedroom and tell him to strip.
The wizard possessed something Cazador had never had: Manners.
He’d chosen a far more subtle approach that left Astarion the comforting illusion of free will. The trap hadn’t been as crude as food and shelter. No, Astarion had been accruing a far less obvious debt. The library card. The suddenly tuned piano. The bottles of bergamot and rosemary oil that had found a way into his bathroom. The glasses. The ring. A debt he had never agreed to, but still it had built.
Anyone could tell what the wizard wanted in payment.Waterdeep will be many things for Astarion. A place to rest. A place to heal. A place to figure out what the fuck he wants to do with his life now.
It will also be a place of endless frustration with a wizard who refuses to collect on his debts and a stranger he can not keep himself from returning to.
Really, who came up with that anonymity spell anyway? -

Summary
When Lana is abducted by large squid monsters and gains a large lizard man as a companion, she does her best to go with the flow. However, strange quirks and even stranger teammates keep upping the ante as they try to solve their parasite issue. She does her best to keep calm in this new world, trying to solve one problem at a time. Although, having the large lizard man hovering over your shoulder half the time could make things more difficult. And if she does find him cute, she can unpack that thought later.
Just a nice slow burn romance with the default Durge and a monk isekai'd Tav named Lana. What could go wrong?

Summary
“I suppose it was foolish to expect a mortal to understand”
Those words wracked Tav's brain for something more than a year. After months spent with Gale by their side they would never expect such a kind man to regard her with such disdain? Hate? Nevertheless, they decided it would be best to be left alone and promptly separated from the saviors of Baldur's Gate they had grown to love. Some more than others.
Now in their solitude The God of Ambition had come to ask for a simple favor... -

Summary
It had been centuries since a specific soul captured Raphael’s attention so completely. The devil coveted her body and soul and sought to ensnare her in a contract at any cost, though a disgusting wizard tricked her into falling in love with him. Raphael would, maim, torture, and kill to win her favor and steal her back.
She would bring him the coveted Crown of Karsus, and Raphael would murder her lover to acquire the Orb. He would show her the fire of his devotion and trap her in his claws, and that, love, was that.

Summary
“Ah, I understand. So not a real professor.”
Astraea blinked at him, hard, like she hadn’t heard him. “Sorry?”
The music was rather loud, some inoffensive generic soft pop playlist that Astraea had complained about with in the first few sentences of their conversation. They’d had to stand a little too close to hear each other in the first place, so Gale cleared his throat and said, slightly louder. “You’re not a real professor.” The words died on his lips as he realized how exactly they were going to sound. “As in, not tenure track…?”
Her grip tightened on he glass, and for a moment, Gale wondered if she would toss the remains of it’s contents on him. And he might deserve it. But instead, she raised an eyebrow. “What the hell?”

Summary
“The book,” Gale urged. “Open up the damned book! Find out what this is.”
Astarion nearly dropped it trying to retrieve it from his pack. “Are the spores dangerous??”
“I don’t know.” Gale tried to wipe off as much as he could, but his skin felt like it was on fire. In fact, his whole body had begun to feel rather feverish.
Astarion skimmed the words, rapidly turning the pages. “Red cap… pink stalk… trumpet shaped…” his finger suddenly landed on a line, eyes widening. “This! Lushcap. Sometimes known as Nymph Blush.”
“It releases spores that, upon contact, affects the body almost instantly,” he read, his expression growing a bit more nervous. “Symptoms include warming of the extremities, shortness of breath, increased heart rate, dizziness, and decreased spatial awareness. This is because Lushcap acts as a powerful…”
Astarion trailed off suddenly.
Gale stared at him, waiting for him to go on. Astarion opened his mouth and shut it a few times.
“What?” Gale pressed.
A powerful what? Toxin? Paralytic? Parasitic organism?
“Astarion.”
Astarion finally looked up at him, looking both amused and on the edge of a nervous breakdown. “… Aphrodisiac.”

Summary
"Khanadra’s Crevice was a clump of three shoddy houses at the end of a discontinued road- a cul de sac, Lae’zel reminded herself. Each of the houses had the same pale-blue, peeling paint and gray roofs that probably were once white. What little grass remained was short and slightly yellowed. There were a few cars outside each house, but the driveways were small enough that they could only fit two at a time. Another three parked on the curbside, but none of these were outside what would be her residence for the next few years. Lae’zel had studied the floor plan aboard her ship. Through the front door would be a minuscule entry containing two staircases. One would lead downwards into the basement apartment. The other would lead into the upstairs apartment- Unit 1A, her new territory. Territory she would have to share with three istik."
or
the Baldur's Gate 3 cast thrown into a college au where there will be much drama, angst, romance, and ridiculousness. One far too long for the author's own good.

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 -
