Summary
The story of Dracula if instead it is Count Szarr who is visited by the solicitor Wyll Ravengard. Unlike Dracula, Szarr will not be making it to London.
A fusion fic where Dracula’s original main cast is replaced with the charismatic monster hunter, lovable rogue, and the eminently hatable vampire lord of Baldur’s Gate. The style of this fic imitates and expands upon the original epistolary style of Bram Stoker’s original Dracula.
Where English gentleman Wyll Ravengard, a hero at heart, cannot resist the call to action once he discovers monsters are real.

Summary
Astarion wants the sun. He wants to bask in the light of dawn, unafraid and unharmed; let it kiss him and not burn; let its light be his private joy, not his fear. How exhausting it is, to be afraid of something he loves so desperately.
It turns out the feeling is mutual.
Astarion's quest to see the sun again triggers multiple religious (and romantic) crises.
~
Note on romantic content (setting expectations): Bloodweave takes center-stage in terms of screen time, and the Astarion/Lathander relationship tag is the stage the boys are struggling to survive on. Shadowheart often mediates everyone's experience with love and the gods, for better or worse.

Summary
Gale steals Astarion’s nightclothes, leaving Astarion with no choice but to wear the wizard’s silly purple outfit. It’s not a flattering look, and everyone in camp knows it—except Gale, who interprets the situation differently. This leads to an awkward love confession.

Summary
While he may have escaped from Cazador and the terrors of his Palace, memories: they make a home in the narrow recesses of his mind like Wraiths: prowling during moments of silence for a sliver of vulnerability; memories: they grab him with frost-bitten darkness, dig their claws into him and replace what little he’s been able to cultivate with the ghosts of serpentine threats and rattling bones.
Even in a new phase of undeath, the past can still haunt.

Summary
She creeps through the eyes of her fail-daugher to watch the wizard, discarded plaything of Mystra. He is weak, frail under the thin binding of his skin.
The wizard is nothing of interest. But the orb inside of him that thrums against her darkened curse is.
Shar uses her daughter in order to get to the orb within Gale's chest. Mind the tags.
