Summary
"The seats of the heavens shall shudder and break,
The thrones of the hells shall crack and shake.
Through orb’s shadow and crown’s flame, balance is spun—
The Chosen work unseen, and the new age is begun.So sayeth the wise Alaundo."
---
Before Moonshadow, God of the Eclipse, there was Vesper; A half-drow "child" of Bhaal destined to end divinity with the Chosen of Bane at his side.
That was, until his beloved half-sister (thankfully) divested him of his Chosen mantle (rather violently) and set in motion the events that would ultimately lead Vesper to Gale Dekarios, a charming wizard who claimed his heart (almost instantly).
In this collection of one-shots, follow Ves as he, Gale and their companions set out to find a cure for their parasites as well as uncovering the hidden depths of the Cult of the Absolute that holds the key to Ves' shadowed past.
WARNING: This is a Resist!Durge fic, but even so there will be lots of violence, blood, gore and bouts of madness.
<> Blood in Baldur's Gate and Shadows of Athkatla chapters included <>

Summary
An AU to my main Gale x Durge series. (Takes place during the year Gale was locked in his tower in Waterdeep)
What if, instead of becoming the Chosen of Bhaal, Durge instead against all odds escaped his fetid fate in Baldur's Gate and ended up living a relatively peaceful life in Waterdeep as a washed-up bard and thief?
---
Vesper Moonshadow, a fugitive bard with a bloody past and a talent for theft, seeks a new start in Waterdeep. His target: the legendary tower of Gale of Waterdeep, a wizard said to be crumbling under a mysterious affliction. It should have been an easy score.
But when Vesper is caught not stealing trinkets, but witnessing the archmage in a moment of raw, desperate solitude—a private struggle against an insatiable arcane hunger—he finds himself facing a terrifying ultimatum. The reclusive Gale offers him a choice: become the willing vessel and long-term "acquisition specialist" for his monstrous need or face the wrath of a man who has bedded the goddess of magic herself.

Summary
"The shadowed sun shall wed broken dusk,
The Weaves shall fray, the gods shall rust.
Through strife and love, all realmspace to save—
The eclipse endures, though all else may fade.So sayeth the wise Alaundo."
---
First, there was Ves—a half-drow bard hopelessly in love with Gale Dekarios, the wizard from Waterdeep. Their bond, born of shared trials across the Sword Coast, was unbreakable. So deeply did Ves love Gale that he sacrificed everything, even his mortal life, to remain by his side.
Now, as Moonshadow, God of the Eclipse, he is Gale’s divine partner, yet feels like a shadow in the path of Gale’s relentless ambition. Ascension has become a burden, and Moonshadow longs for the simplicity of his mortal life—of simply being Ves, Gale’s lover, free of celestial duties...

A long overdue promise to revisit Faerûn stirs those old desires, making Moonshadow yearn for a life he can never reclaim.

Summary
When Gale of Waterdeep—a once-mortal prodigy and wizard of soaring ambition—ascends to godhood, he takes his devoted partner, Ves, along for the journey. Ves, a bard of remarkable charm and hidden depths, becomes Moonshadow, God of the Eclipse: a quiet and elusive counterbalance to Gale's grand, all-consuming power as God of Ambition.
Though they share love and eternity, their paths soon diverge. Gale’s relentless pursuit of greatness and influence demands constant attention, while Moonshadow craves the simplicity and warmth of their mortal lives. Longing for the quiet comfort they once shared, Moonshadow finds himself caught between supporting Gale's ambitious vision and a yearning for the world they left behind.
