Summary
Astarion has been running for centuries. Surviving in a world that wants him, and others like him dead. The modern, radicalized Gur kill monsters on site, displaying their corpses as examples.When he finds himself in the isolated, wooded town of Moonwood Valley, starvation and desperation drive him to a decision that may change the course of his life, for better or worse.
A foreboding forest that ensnares the unwary. A folkloric "Beast" the locals speak about in fearful whispers. And a strange recluse that is far more than meets the eye.

Summary
So, it is in the library that Gale now sits, listening with practiced indifference, to the back and forth between his mother and Tara; Tara demands that Gale be afforded time to rest following ‘his ordeal’, whereas his mother insists he is in dire need of companionship. Gale has no inclination towards either; his initial hope of the squabble running its course on its own, however, dwindles the longer it goes on. He supposes, after-all, that having had just over two tendays without such a conversation was more than he could have hoped for.

Summary
Gale returns to Waterdeep with Tav and Astarion to find a cure for vampirism. If Gale were to become Mystra’s Chosen again, he could cure Astarion himself. What they should definitely not do – according to Gale – is consult his old classmate, Evelyn, a necromancer who casts with the Shadow Weave. Unfortunately for Gale, Tav and Astarion are determined to seek her out.
Evelyn, meanwhile, has never explored the full extent of her magic. Embracing the Shadow Weave cost her dearly, and she fears there will be more to pay. Nevertheless she’ll do her best to help Astarion, even if it means working with Gale, for whom her feelings are… complicated.
***If you like two people who are clearly down bad for each other, but have to work through their hang-ups first, this is for you! Despite angsty moments, this is a light-hearted tale of romance and adventure.***

Summary
"New round here, right? Living down here in the Discards is hard enough without the shit-storm of winter and all it brings. You a Psion? I'll sell you some suppressors. Trade you for a battery. Wait - you got some food? Gave my last to that Carver Dolly for a tune-up. Hard getting room with her lately, though. Heard she's running with the rebs. Y'know. Princey's Pawns."
----Doll Parts is a tale of the intertwined lives of survival in a tumultuous winter beneath a dystopian Vlaakith Empire.
Of a formerly Mastered Doll, Vanquish, now a Carver, living amongst the lowest of society in the Discard Downs.
Of a disgraced old githyanki, Voss, adjusting to civilian life after most of his spent inside prison.
Of an heir to the Empire conspiring to tear it all down from within, Orpheus, if he could just open his eyes for long enough to care.Series

Summary
...is the mother of invention.
Dottie has an inventive solution to an uncomfortable problem. Gale is an enthusiastic beta tester. A smutty one-shot set some time post-game with the Tav from my main fic 'Fire and Ice' yes, it is more utter filth without any plot, there are no game spoilers in this because it's just more of Dottie and Gale's sex life. There's also some fluff in there, because pegging is adorable.

Summary
"He’s too obvious, thinking he’s bluffing, but the moment the suit jacket came off, so did some of the veneer of the powerful, calculating businessman and it was so easy to see the eager softness beneath. Astarion’s learned never to underestimate the power of a costume, or of removing it."
***
Expert art and antiquities fraudster Astarion Ancunin knows what he does best - the long con. After weeks of careful planning he's zeroed in on his latest mark, the famous, handsome, billionaire venture capitalist: Gale Dekarios. Gaining access to his luxury penthouse full of priceless works is easy enough. What he didn't bank on being difficult is keeping his focus on his job, and not on his target's gorgeous eyes and far-too-talented mouth.
A short, modern AU Bloodweave fic that is a shameless vehicle for filth.

The Embrace of Love and Death - Reluctance by MissFortuneTheRogue

Tags
Summary
Miss Fortune never would have thought getting abducted by mind flayers and infected with a parasite would wind up being the best thing to ever happen to them, but here they are. One moment they're trailing a mark down a dark alley, the next they're thrust into a wild adventure leading a group of misfit strangers. Broke and broken-hearted following a fall from fame and a harrowing escape from the chains that shackled them, Miss Fortune considered their heart closed for business until a pale rogue named Astarion picked the lock and wedged his way into their thoughts like a dagger through the ribs. Developing a bond forged by shared traumas and late-night gossip, the rogues flirt, pickpocket, and sneak attack their way across Faerûn while grappling with their emotional scars and learning to trust each other. A sweet and sentimental tale of angst, hurt, and comfort.

Summary
Chased from his home by his own neighbours, the road to Baldur's Gate has been anything but easy for Rolan. But what awaits him is a chance at a new life; to flourish under the tutelage of the Archmage Lorroakan.
Hesperia dreams visions of the Weave, her heart's desire nothing less than the power promised by an apprenticeship. Her father has other ideas for how she might use the position to his own advantage, and will threaten all Hesperia holds dear to get it.
Both revere this most esteemed position as the salvation they seek, but their master only has need for one apprentice. As a cult gains power and the city threatens to tear itself apart, two wizards fight for more than their own survival.
(A rivals to lovers story set during act 3 with slight canon divergence of Rolan's involvement)

Summary
The Crown of Karsus has slipped from Raphael's hands once again. But there may be a mortal with the means to find the Crown; one with considerable resources and a fitting lack of morality. All he requires in return is immortality.
As Raphael's most important client, he allows the wizard to sample the House of Hope's hospitality, including all his boudoir has to offer. -

Summary
Raphael never thought a broken soul could be so irresistible, but here he was, enraptured and utterly infatuated. Her soul was useless but he craved it anyway.
A story of yearning, pain, love and selflessness. All the things Raphael utterly despises, or so he thought.
This story spans from before act 1, through the acts and beyond act 3. Most characters will appear.
EDIT 23/02/2026 - I have re written Chapters 1-3 and the tone is very different now. I recommend going back to re read if you are follwing this fic :)

Dekarios Family by Tynithia
Fandom Baldur's Gate (Video Games), Dungeons & Dragons (Roleplaying Game), Forgotten Realms (Roleplaying Game)
05 Jul 2026
Summary
The Dekarios lineage, may not be eccentric as the Harpells or as well known as the Silverhands, they are no less important.
This series starts in Luskan 1379 DR, a couple years after the Host Tower's destruction with Gale's great-grandfather Gaius. We follow how the family moved from Luskan to Waterdeep, how they got their fortune, and who the Dekarios family are today.
The stories are mostly led by original Dekarios characters and several named Forgotten Realm's characters make prominent appearances. Of course, everything is still centered around our favorite wizard of Waterdeep, and my muse, Gale.
I am adding new stories and one-shots all the time.

Gale drew in a deep breath, gathering the courage to peek at Rhune’s face— and found Rhune blinking down at him, the dusk-colored skin of his brow furrowed in obvious confusion.
“You— you want to use a knife on me?”
“For the silence spell, only,” Gale clarified, before all of his nerve up and fled.
--
A sorcerer, a wizard, some magical teasing, a silencing knife, and the reoccurring urge to turn your lover into a corpse.Series
