Summary
Baronet Dekarios is a man of science, but the supernatural is as much a science as anything else, isn't it? He's also a man in need of a new patron. So, when an old university friend offers entrance to a party held by one of England's most secretive societies — a club of the country's richest men, rumored to dabble in the occult and the satanic — he sees the opportunity to kill two metaphysical birds with one stone. And all he needs to do to gain entry is secure the approval of the club's mysterious leader, the enigmatic Lord Ancunin.

Summary
There wasn't time for the companions to deal with Cazador. Astarion had made his peace with that when he had taken down Gortash and Orin in a righteous fury. He knew that what had happened was the right thing to have happened. He had lived in freedom for a while; that was more than he was expecting, to be honest.
What he wasn't expecting, however, was how he now reacted to Cazador.
Astarion navigates his return to being a spawn, and his friends adjust to him being gone. The charismatic leader, the glue that held the group together, gone. They'll never see him again and they grieve.
Then Withers drags them back to Baldur's Gate.

Summary
His tablet froze for a second as Tav rolled her eyes. When the picture returned to normal, Gale noticed she had let one shoulder of the garment she was wearing drop and was smiling coyly at him from behind her stemless wine glass.
Oh. This was that kind of video call.
The robe she was wearing, a shimmering pale blue satin, was one she wore almost exclusively after they had been intimate. Gale had run his hands over it so many times he could almost feel it now, the way it cooled and slipped through his fingers like water. The robe sat low enough now to reveal Tav’s neck and collarbone, hinting around the soft, inticing swell of her breasts. Gale felt a flush spread over his own chest.
“What a minx you are,” he said. “If memory serves, that robe is rather short, is it not?”

Summary
After the Grove’s destruction, the party is left with the worst versions of themselves. Gale is disgusted with himself and what he’s willing to put up with for power. Shadowheart felt her walls go back up, after they had started to be slowly chipped away. Actually, Astarion and Lae’zel were pretty much the same. The group is bound to their leader, Durge’s wishes. What horrors will they commit next?
On the other hand, Wyll and Karlach left the party, unwilling to participate in the bloodshed. Will they survive without the artifact? Or will they become the absolute’s puppets?
or tldr; My insistent ramblings of what Wyll and Karlach are up to after they leave the party in an evil playthrough

Summary
This tale starts with Gale's affliction with the orb and is largely Gale's POV with minor Tara POV. Becomes alternating Gale/Tav's POV once Tav is introduced. An excerpt:
"After what felt like an eternity, the pain began to ebb from a razor-sharp stab to a burning throb. He took another deep, steadying breath. It wasn’t enough to banish the pain, but it was enough to give him the strength to endure it. He opened his eyes and met his own reflection in the looking glass. Beads of sweat ran from his brow, his hair damp with it. The veins on his face were dark under his skin, darkest around his left eye where the mark of the orb was a glow, trailing beneath the facial hair that he’d let grow out over the last few days, then snaking down his neck and wrapping around his heart center. It throbbed with light. A warning, a curse, a physical manifestation of the thing within him threatening to boil over and consume him. The only part of the image that resembled the man he’d been but a few short days ago glinted at his ear, his spell focus, Mystra’s star. It had been days, and his magic had not returned. He’d finally coaxed Mystra’s last words from Tara. His Goddess had abandoned him. He was truly and utterly alone."

Summary
After a long year of rebuilding from rock bottom and crashing on Karlach’s couch, Astarion has finally saved enough from tattooing to afford a place of his own. It’s small, but all he really needs is a mirror, a locking door, and a housemate who won’t mind how he dresses—or that he sometimes screams in his sleep. When Shadowheart convinces Gale to rent out his spare room, he’s just hoping to ease the mortgage and maybe partake in some conversations more stimulating than what his aloof cat offers. But Astarion may turn out to be far more than Gale bargained for—and exactly what he needs.

Summary
In the crumbling depths of the Underdark, Astarion has carved out a fragile sanctuary for the spawn he freed—and now leads. Gale, no longer a divine errand boy and with no adventure left to occupy him, arrives seeking purpose—and finds only rot. He tells himself it’s altruism. It might even be friendship. But Gale’s never been good at lying, not even to himself.
Can he survive what the Underdark demands of him? What Astarion wants from him? Or is he simply chasing redemption in all the wrong places?

Summary
Before the orb, before the fall, Gale was Mystra's perfect Chosen, until Lyanna Harken pulled him from the depths and breathed life back into his lungs. Unbidden. Unwanted. Unforgettable.
In the floating city of Sharn, his divine mission to recover a Netherese tome collides with her desperate search for the Whispering Blades. She offers chaos where he craves control. He promises order where she needs freedom. Neither expected to matter.
Pride goeth before a fall, but no one warns you how intoxicating the view from the edge can be.
Side B:
Lyanna Harken’s just a wanderer trying to find her late mentor’s legacy. She didn't sign up for drowning wizards, divine politics, or the way Mystra's Chosen looks at her like she's both salvation and damnation. Should've known better than to strike a deal with someone who thinks breathing is a debt to be repaid.Series

Summary
”Mr. Dekarios… what happened?”
”I - I don’t know Tara. I opened the book, then everything went black. When I woke up I felt a tightness in my chest and,” He jestured to his left side “This had appeared.”
- Or -The Netherese Orb absorbs life energy and now Gale kills everything he touches. After a year of fruitless research in his tower, he goes to Baldur’s gate looking for answers. He takes a job as a cook in a seedy tavern so he can use the animals on the menu to feed the orb.
Astarion is out on the prowl and his latest hunting ground shows promise. It’s a shame the handsome guy in the kitchen is so shy. He would be excellent prey.
