Truth in the shadows so brightened in gold by hali

Summary
Lucien is defeated, Mollymauk gets a second chance and (gradually) his memories back. It's not easy to find yourself having missed so much. Being surrounded by the people who love you helps.
I'm bad at summaries, but basically, as much as I respect Tal's decisions about his characters, I think it would make for a more interesting story in terms of identity, love and all kinds of nuanced relationship beats if Kingsley didn't pop up. This is an attempt at it.

The Whipping Boy by thecheeseburgercat for not_whelmed_yet

Summary
Eight year old Wyll Ravengard has everything he could ever want—save a friend. And then he meets a saddened but sweet elven boy in the park, and gains far, far more than he bargained for.
~*~
Wyll now sees a scratchy tangle of rope, ebony black with nine tails of knotted smaller ropes descending from a central coil. A cat o' nine tails, his mind helpfully supplies as his stomach drops.
"Father," he whispers, feeling all of a sudden lightheaded with fright. "Please..."

Too Sweet for Hell by noodlefrog for RosePetals9001
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

Summary
Astarion is the one who gets to curl up with Wyll at night, and kiss him, and soak up all that princely romance that Wyll can’t help himself but spill on anyone who gets too close. In turn, Wyll gets to kiss Astarion on that cute little pointy face and help him feel like a person again. He also gets the pleasure of being the only one Fangs trusts enough to be sweet with.
If Karlach could trade places with either one of them, even for a night, she would. But they have each other, and that’s what counts. They’re her friends, and they’re happy together, so she’s happy for them. And they do love her. Just the fact that they’re here in hell with her is proof of that. She knows that much even when she’s moping about how they don’t love her like she loves them.

Summary
When the devil toad breaks free of Toya’s control, Mollymauk feels ice creep through his veins. Not in a metaphorical sense. There is the distinct feeling of ice in his blood, freezing him from the inside out, curling around his lungs, stealing his breath and stilling his heart. Everything in him is cold. He feels as though he may never know warmth again.
It’s his doing, these people being here. He’s the one who gathered most of this audience, he drew this crowd here. He convinced Toya and her accursed fucking beast to join up with them. Anyone who gets hurt here will have been hurt because of him.OR
Mollymauk Tealeaf is having a very bad day. He does not understand his magic, or his body, and everything is burning around him.

Summary
What happens when the world moves on - and you remain stuck in place?
In high school, Gale drags a protesting Astarion to the new Dungeons and Dragons club, building a world of fantasy and friendships that lasts a lifetime.
Or does it?
Ten years later, everyone has moved on - except Astarion.
When the club finds themselves reunited unexpectedly, Gale and Astarion realize that ten years may have not been quite enough to get over the hurt that still burns between them.
A story of growing up, forgiveness, and miscommunications - with a dose of DND. :)
With lots of art from the incredibly talented adsu-shy!

Summary
"It’s a beautiful day at the Soltryce Academy—the sky is vibrant and the trees rustle with the gentlest of winds as Caleb begins his impromptu Transmutation lecture outside. From the building on the edge of the grounds he hears a muffled bell tolling for fifth period. Somewhere in the distance, a student begins to whistle.
At that moment, Caleb feels at peace.
At that moment, a Purple Worm bursts forth from the soil directly in front of him, and all of his plans for a pleasant afternoon are promptly dashed."
---
Caleb and Essek have finally settled down - more or less. While the beloved and somewhat eccentric Professor Widogast is busy inciting small student-scale riots and teaching tiny wizards morals, Essek spends his days lounging around the house, drinking wine and experimenting with the exotic concept of 'cooking his own meals'. They are pretty sure life is great - until two pre-teen assassins crash-land into the middle of the Soltryce Academy and demand the former Shadowhand be surrendered to their custody. What are the two internationally in/famous mages to do? The answer will shock absolutely no one.- Language:

Summary
Beauty, tradition, and perfection: these are the pillars of the House of Szarr, a centuries-old perfumery owned by creative director and artist Cazador Szarr and shouldered by its next-to-nobody nose, Astarion Ancunín.
Overworked, underpaid, and determined to claw his way out, Astarion finds the perfect blend of unusual charm and genius—and the key to toppling the house for good—when he meets chemistry professor Gale Dekarios.
Or: one perfumer, one professor, one treatise on art, addiction, and the price of ambition.

I will never write this AU out in full because it would take two hundred years so here are some vaguely interconnected oneshots. Centered around widomauk and beauyasha, but the beau-molly and empire sibs broships also feature heavily.

Wyll figures a year as personal assistant to Astarion Ancunín, legendary editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, will be a great boost to his resume. Too bad his new boss is demanding and temperamental and gorgeous and a little bit vulnerable beneath it all. What's a wannabe journalist to do?
