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.)

Summary

Summary
Beneath the starlit skies of Stardew Valley, where tranquility once reigned supreme, a chilling discovery shatters the night's silence. The town cemetery, long a place of peaceful rest, now harbors a grim secret unearthed in the witching hours.
At first glance, it appears to be a tragic accident - a solitary soul claimed by misfortune. But as dawn breaks over Pelican Town, so too does the façade of rural bliss. What begins as a somber gathering of townsfolk soon unravels into a web of conspiracy, each thread tugging at the carefully constructed lives of the valley's inhabitants.By day, Stardew Valley remains a picturesque haven, its fields golden and rivers clear. Yet as shadows lengthen and the sun dips below the horizon, a different world emerges. Long-buried secrets claw their way to the surface, and the darkness that settles over Pelican Town brings with it whispers of truths better left unspoken.
In this idyllic community where everyone knows their neighbor, a single death threatens to expose the lies, loves, and loyalties that simmer beneath the surface. As suspicion grows and alliances shift, one question burns in every mind: In a town this small, can anyone truly be innocent?

Summary
It is easier to reject people before they reject you, when you are very obviously Gotoro and a war's been off and on for as long as even your father can remember. Samira comes into Stardew Valley the way she enters every new space: ready to throw down. No one's going to hurt her. They won't get close enough.
Sam is keeping it together. No problem. He can take care of his brother and his mom and still have his own fun, and it doesn't matter when his dad is coming back, if he ever is, because Sam has it totally covered. It's fine.
OR
Hey what's the deal with the Gotoro Empire?? That's got to have some ramifications. Let's explore this.

Summary
Sitting next to her, he says, “What are you doing out here? It’s dangerous to be so far away from everyone.”
“Do not worry,” she says, offering a smile as assurance, “this is my land. It will protect us."
“Will you allow me to escort you back to the tents?” he asks. “I’ve just had the fire built up, and it’s rather cold tonight. I wouldn’t want you to freeze.” His hands fidget in his lap while his gaze remains steadfast on her face, avoiding her exposed legs. She supposes he’s rarely seen the full dress of Eorlingas women, who don’t often have need to wear leather breeches and split skirts anymore.
“Of course.”On the eve of battle, Éowyn formally, and cordially, invites Merry to her tent. Among other things.

Summary
No one does this, she thought in disbelief. No one touches me.
Despite his warning, Wyll leaned in very slowly and very gently. Her forehead knocked against the roots of his horns and she felt him take a steadying breath before leaning in further, pressing his lips to hers. Her stomach swooped in whirling delight as he squeezed her against him, his hard lines and ridges of his chest pressing against her. He didn't deepen the kiss, she expected because he was more self-conscious about the forked tongue than he needed to be. He pulled back, watching her from under heavy lidded eyes. "Was that okay?" she asked.
"It was okay," he confirmed, then grinned mischievously. "It was also wonderful, breathtaking, achingly intimate, and like every beautiful dream I've ever had."
She flushed. "Don't oversell."
"I promise you, I exaggerate nothing about the angel whose hair drinks the moonlight, sunken down to this silver-lit beach before me, a lilac vision—"
"Wyll!"

The Sweet Invention of a Lover's Dream by Unreliablenarrator

Summary
Father Thynerias, a monk of the Preservers of the Ordered Way, enjoyed his life up until that damned Nautiloid. He had his books, his work, a group of novices under his care. His pursuit of knowledge fueled him, and he could see life no other way.
Until he met the famed Blade of Frontiers, and realized that life is not all books and knowledge.
(Or: Five times a monk considered giving up his vows of chastity, and the one time he did).

Summary
“Hey, we should stick together.” Karlach says, placing a hand on Shadowheart's shoulder. "Don't want to get even more separated out here. That means you, fangs.”
Astarion scoffs and flaps for a moment, then reluctantly goes to rejoin them, grumbling all the way. Karlach manages to ruffle his hair once before he pulls back, hissing dramatically like her hands still burn. His theatrical complaints about his precious hairstyle mingle with the girls' laughter, even as they move away together, up the stairs.
Turmeric can't remember hearing them laugh like that since they entered the shadow-cursed lands. Maybe it's her absence that encourages it.
--
An alternative arc to Act 2, where a self-doubting Tav, with history in the shadow-cursed lands, begins to consider what benefit she really offers to the team, and what greater benefit there may be if she was no longer part of it. Quite dark in places, but with some comedy elements, and a lot of whole team friendship that I feel like we didn't get to see enough of in game. Please Read The Tags!

Summary
Rolan pulls in a little breath, beating back a few memories of holding a crisp letter from Lorroakan in his hands, one that would go on to be frayed and fragile after suffering in his pocket for months. “I won’t... I can’t be another apprentice.”
“No, no, no,” Gale assures. “I think assistant professor has a far better ring to it.”
Rolan spends a term at Blackstaff.

Summary
At fifteen, Wyllyam Ravengard thought himself a man, or near enough. At seventeen, with his pact signed and eye gouged out, he felt both a child and a man grown before his time. At twenty-four, Wyll sees himself for the boy he was then.
At fifteen, Wyllyam Ravengard thought the bride clad in silk a woman grown, her skin faintly painted in designs which glowed from the nightlight essence that formed the ink, with moonstones and star-sapphires on her brow and neck and wrists. At seventeen, he thought the young woman stunning, and her eyes sad, and her lot in life unjust- like a maiden from a fairy-story. At twenty-four, Wyll sees her as she was: barely more than a child herself and trapped in a web as tight and inescapable as any phase spider’s.
He sees her now, across the fire, nearly as changed as he in the nine years since that first dance.Bookmarked by Jewels_Is_Typing

Summary
Cursed to die on her thirtieth birthday, Lara has resigned herself to the life of a minor Faerûnian hero – an arcane hunter barely scratching the surface of her magical talents, a quick-witted drifter who avoids attachments like the plague.
Just as the curse is about to claim her life, Lara is infected with a mind flayer parasite. And that's not even the worst of it.
The road ahead is fraught with battles. Some are the kind you'd expect: the various beasts, bastards, cults and creeps of the Sword Coast and the planes beyond. Others are about to prove far more challenging: the mortifying ordeal of being known, entirely sausage-based dinners, and an unreasonably massive crush on an unreasonably attractive wizard.

The tale of my storm sorcerer Tav and her journey through the events of the game, particularly her burgeoning friendships with her new companions and ESPECIALLY her romance with a certain Waterdhavian wizard.An overwhelmingly unserious fic for the most part. Rated explicit for frequent discussions of death and violence, language and sexual references. Also, actual sex.

Summary
What happened to you, Alba Moonseeker? Weren’t you a good person, at some point? When did that change?
He knows when. He knows what he did to kickstart all of this, back in the deep heart of the jungle, back in Mordremoth’s domain, back when Trahearne had asked, no, begged him to kill him to ensure it was over. One mercy kill to make sure they were finished and everything was tied up neatly. Want to or not, he’d done it. He’d done it.
He thinks that’s when it happened. Maybe it was sooner. Maybe his pod was just bad. Damaged, somehow. Maybe he never was good.
