Summary
Without any real thought Gale curled his fingers to summon a magical flame, instinctually seeking some bit of light and heat and life to accompany him in this desolate place. Nothing answered his call; the spell smothered in its crib with cold, slick fingers. Though nothing changed, he felt colder, even more unwelcome. He had tried to bring vitality to a place antagonistic to the concept, and in doing so drawn whatever wrath this place might manifest further down upon himself. There were no shadows here, lit as it was by a constant, unknowable source of light. But he felt hemmed in by hungry shadows all the same.
He kept walking. He did not know what else to do.
And in between one step and the next, just as surely as there had been nothing, there was something. Two figures equidistant, not far from him, both still.
One he knew, and one he did not.

Summary
The battle was over.
Gale's orb was gone.
Only the road home remained,
with the silver-haired vampire who chose to walk the night at his side.
To reclaim the old life, or begin anew.Yet something lingered. Some dust would not settle.

Summary
Abandoned by the goddess he once called beloved, Gale retreats into solitude as the Orb’s hunger begins to consume him. With Mystra’s silence echoing louder than any curse, he isolates himself in his tower, desperately feeding the Orb with enchanted relics to stave off collapse. As the boundaries between his will and the Orb’s begin to blur, he scours forbidden lore for answers, haunted by the possibility that the artifact lodged in his chest is not divine punishment—but a remnant of Karsus’s ancient ambition. This chapter chronicles his slow unraveling, his quiet grief, and the first glimmers of heresy, as the man he was begins to vanish beneath the weight of the Weave.

Summary
You weren't surprised when you woke up in the pod - you always did. After every victory or death or failure, you woke up right as that mind flayer forced that tadpole into your eye. You killed the chosen three an infinite amount of times, destroyed the elder brain more times than you could count - died even more! And yet, no matter what you did, you always woke up at the very beginning.
A lonely existence, for anyone, having to re-establish eternal loves and undying friendships all over again. It felt like a hopeless cause, having to play the same game over and over again. Resetting no matter how it ended. You thought it was an eternal, lonesome torture.
Until you find out a certain devil is suffering in the same hell.

Summary
J’étais née pour suivre un seul chemin.
Occultiste façonnée par des années d’études et de silence, j’avais une mission : retrouver la couronne de Karsus pour mon mentor, celui qui m’avait tout appris, tout donné. Mon avenir était tracé, chaque pas guidé par le devoir… jusqu’à ce qu’il apparaisseRaphael.
Un diable au charme troublant, à l’élégance venimeuse et aux intentions obscures. Il m’a tendu la main, non pas pour me détourner de ma quête… mais pour m’y entraîner encore plus profondément. Il désire, lui aussi, la couronne, pas pour servir un maître, mais pour régner.
Depuis son apparition, mes certitudes se fissurent. Mon mentor, autrefois figure de sagesse, me semble désormais n’être qu’un homme rongé par une soif de pouvoir. Et Raphael… ce diable arrogant et fascinant… je ne sais plus s’il est mon allié, mon ennemi ou quelque chose de bien plus dangereux encore.
Entre ambition, trahisons et sentiments naissants, me voilà prise entre deux feux, mais une chose est sûre : qu’il soit homme ou diable, nul ne façonnera mon destin à ma place.
Cette histoire comportera des images en 3D créer par moi.✨

Summary
After Astarion completes the Rite of Profane Ascension, Tav decides she prefers the devil she knows. She's hardly thrilled about it, but she'd rather give up the Crown of Karsus to Raphael than lose any autonomy to the Ascendant or the Emperor. Besides, making and serving a new god out of someone whose company she doesn't mind is hardly the worst fate she can imagine for herself, so long as her current god continues allowing her the freedom to do so.

Or: my Tav's bad end, in which an at-least-slightly-evil-aligned cleric/bard multiclass allies with Raphael, and they both get weird about it.
