Marginalia from the Edge of the Divine- The Memoir of Gale Dekarios by LilyHeartsGale
Fandom Baldur's Gate (Video Games), Dungeons & Dragons (Roleplaying Game), Forgotten Realms (Roleplaying Game)
07 Jul 2025
Summary
In this lyrical and haunting, Gale—once Mystra’s favored Chosen, now a scholar of elven high magic—unspools the tale of his extraordinary life: from his childhood in the alleys and libraries of Waterdeep to the moment he stood on the brink of apotheosis, ready to sacrifice himself for the world.
Written two decades after he found a quiet life in Evereska, Gale reflects on love, ambition, and the unbearable intimacy of magic. He chronicles his early enchantment with the goddess of magic and the seductive ruin of their affair, his missteps with power, and the redemptive weight of fatherhood.
But above all, it is a story of love—the love that saved him from destruction, the mother of his child, the one heart he could never let go. From their battles against the remnants of Netheril to quiet nights beneath Evereskan stars, Gale writes with aching beauty of a love both profound and impossible.
Part elegy, part confession, this is a story of one man’s reckoning with divinity, legacy, and the fragile threads of the heart.

Summary
Jack is all set to follow Phryne until a bad accident in a raid leaves him with a serious head injury. When he wakes up, he can't remember anything of the last seventeen months, and as far as he's concerned, Miss Fisher is just that rather exasperating, eccentric lady who's interfered with two of his murder investigations.

Summary
When he starts awake, all he can do is stare at the ceiling, body rigid, tense, eyes not believing what he’s seeing.
He clenches his eyes shut. Reopens them. Same image.

Migardians call them soulmates, I believe."

Summary
Echo has lived her life tucked away in the forests of Tethir, learning magic through the pulse of nature and the songs of creation. She's good with magic, but not people, which isn't really a problem until she's scooped up by mind flayers and has to get along with six strangers lest they all share a tentacle-y doom. And she manages to get along with most of them -- but then there's Gale of Waterdeep. Despite a terrible first impression, she finds he is actually much kinder than all the mansplaining would suggest.
This is a series of relationship scenes about my weird little mushroom hermit, a wizard who shows compassion and arrogance really can coexist, and how academic rivalry is like first base for wizards.

Summary
A figure from Lucien's past shows up to collect on an old arrangement. When Molly doesn't want to talk business, the stranger takes him and the Mighty Nein for himself instead.
Caleb is only just able to get Jester to safety in time. But when the rest of his friends fall victim to their captor's vampiric thrall, that leaves him trapped and alone against the twisted attentions and easy cruelty of a wizard more powerful than he's ever dreamed of being.
Jester struggles to understand her enemies and make a plan of attack. Her friends are counting on her to save them, even if some of them don't know it anymore, and so she is determined to be the light in the darkness for them and all the people of Tanner's Crossing.
With a little bit of magic and a little bit of research and a whole lot of determination as they fight their own battles, Caleb and Jester might just save their friends before they lose themselves in the bargain.

Summary
Three weeks into their delightful slog across Westeros, during yet another charming day of shitting in the woods, eating half-raw squirrel, and trudging his feet bloody, the single most dour and uninteresting woman Jaime had ever met in all of Westeros stopped in the middle of a field, drew a deep breath, and said, “When I was seven, my aunt came to visit with her son. My father told me that as the daughter of the house, it was my duty to show hospitality to my guests and to be gracious to them. I wanted to make him proud. So for three weeks, I let my cousin follow me around and talk to me about spiders.”

Summary
There is a gravity that has pulled them together many times. It pulled Caleb’s lips to Essek’s forehead, and Essek’s hands to Caleb’s arms when a tower collapsed upon him. It pulled Caleb to Eiselcross, now, to be at Essek’s side as his life as the Shadowhand dies.
Now, it could pull them together into Aeor.
(Two wizards venture into Aeor - and find that something has woken in the dead city's depths. Something dangerous. Something that will force them to decide what their pasts mean to them, and what they mean to each other.)
