Summary
When Lavare and Evelyn end up on the nautiloid, kidnapped and inserted with tadpoles that will turn them into monsters, the pair of sisters go on a quest along with a ragtag party to try and save themselves from the grim fate. Everyone is a little weird, but they all need to work together to get through this mess. Between a wizard that might blow up, an elf who might eat the party, the cleric and fighter snipping at each other, a monster hunter and a woman who didn't end up a monster after all, things are not off to a great start. On top of all of that, a seemingly half-crazed tiefling who can't even remember her own name, do they have the odds to even make it through this journey?
Lavare is enthusiastic enough to believe they can make it, but her older and more experienced sister doesn't feel the need to hand out trust to anyone just yet. Still, it's safer in a group than it is alone. It's going to be dangerous enough just getting to Baldur's Gate, when they actually reach it then it's really going to get messy.
And the amnesiac Dark Urge, helped along by Karlach when it seems like no one else can believe in her, is terrified of her own place in the world and what it means when she starts to learn it.

Summary
A loose retelling of the plot of Baldur’s Gate 3 told from the perspective of my female Durge, Kalliope. Kalliope is a “Way of the Shadows” tiefling monk.
She doesn’t understand these bloodthirsty desires or thoughts, but sees their use in battle. Her monastic teachings are very contradictory to this seductive, dark muse in her mind that urges her to “KILL-MAIM-END!”
__________
Sample:“I do believe, my plant-happy friend, that we’ve just shared everything we know with you. Now, are you going to help us or not?” Astarion sounds as nervous and impatient as you feel.
[…]
Nettie’s lips thin into a tight grimace.
“…Kalliope…” tries Gale.
“No. I’m not taking poison from a woman I can’t trust. You’ve done nothing but deceive us since we crossed that threshold,” you flick your hand angrily, pointing to the door you passed through just moments before. “Despite us answering every question that you asked.”
The dark whisper snakes up the back of your skull, the killing calm begins warming and filling your body.
“It’s just for insurance,” tries Nettie once more, “take it only if you feel yourself changing.”
You sneer. And then, your vision goes red.

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.
Series
- Part 1 of The Warp and the Weft

Summary
Lena was heading home from her day job as a software engineer when an llithid nautiloid kidnapped her. Luckily, she's a honey badger shifter, and honey badgers are best known for taking on big cats, hyenas, scorpions, and venomous snakes, and surprisingly, surviving! Unluckily, her new companions might want to murder her because she's like those maggots used to clean wounds: useful, but unpleasant. Luckily, her liger best friend, Edie, will help her stay alive. Sorta.
This reads mostly as a Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough with in-game dialog as a jumping-off point for lots of non-canon dialog that I think is funny. Your mileage will vary.
Oh, and awkward attempts at emotional depth and smut. It's not deliberately or amusingly bad: I just lack emotional depth and ideas for creative bedroom shenanigans. But I'm going to just keep on chugging despite the lack of external validation. Though I do love me some external validation (nudge, nudge).
I also post what amounts to a first draft to be fixed. Later.
'Happy' reading!
There's an epilogue for anyone who wants to punish themselves further!

Summary
“It's awfully tragic, isn't it?” The words that claw out of his throat are from a place vile and bitter. “Pining quietly from afar. Silently begging for a scrap of attention. How… noble.”
Gale doesn't flinch. “Ah, so you're here to commiserate.”

Summary
In the shadow-cursed lands, danger is constant, death inevitable. Yet Gale finds himself consumed by something fiercer than dread: desire.
Battle after battle, he watches Lily’s bladesong carve light into darkness, and hunger takes root—fantasies of touch, surrender, and mastery entwining with every spell he casts. Silence becomes its own torment, love its own peril. With the Orb burning in his chest and Ketheric’s army pressing near, Gale must decide: will he keep his devotion unspoken, or confess it in the heart of ruin?
A meditation on love as magic, passion as survival, and the unbearable beauty of wanting what the world insists cannot be yours.Series
