    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.

    Summary

    The first thing he sees is the steaming breakfast in front of him. The next is Gale of Waterdeep.

    “Not you,” Rolan groans.

    Or, an Act II remix where Gale and Rolan can't escape each other's orbit.

    Summary

    But there are no agonized cries or disturbing wet sounds from the gate, and Rolan watches as a form takes shape on it, composed first of purple-white light, more brilliant than even the hottest flames in a forge, and then it fades, leaving one very human, unfortunately very familiar, figure.

    Gale of Waterdeep.

    He takes a step off the gate, turns to better face Rolan where he stands at the railing above him, and waves both arms in a large, excited, welcoming gesture. Held securely in one hand is a book, plain brown leather binding, and in the other, of course, is Rolan’s letter, as if Gale had opened it to read it and teleported here moments later.

    He probably did just that, Rolan knows.

    Two smart idiots learn to ask for help.

    Summary

    She sighed internally, disbelief mixing with a dash of delight. This might be the most absurd thing that had ever happened to her, and there was stiff competition for that dubious honor. Surviving the nautiloid crash. Escaping Castle Ravenloft twice. Joining the circus. Becoming a warlock by accident.

    And now she was god of the fish people.

    Take that, Mystra, she couldn’t help but smirk to herself.

    Summary

    Pelican Town was in trouble without the mines. That much was clear to the whole community, the way the uncertain future constantly moaned under their floorboards and flaked down from their rafters. Some residents were resigned to let the void spirits claim the caves for themselves, encouraged by a short-sighted mayor and an avalanche of bad publicity. Others would not let go of their home so easily, grabbing for whatever their hands could carry. From that determination, a team came together: the aimless community builder, the former miner with a family to feed, the florist with deep-rooted morals, the farmer who became one with the soil, the archeologist who kept everything buried, and the drifter who fell desperately in love with him.

    (This can be read as a standalone, but context from the rest of the series will be helpful in understanding the epilogue.)
