Secret Rooms of Hogwarts by Attila for GreenAwesomeness

Summary
When Peter Grant is whisked out of unemployment and into a post as Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he expects the teenagers to be the worst things in the castle. It's a pity Lesley May thinks one of the other new professors might be working for the Faceless Man. And as far as she's concerned, the most likely suspect is Defense expert Thomas Nightingale--gorgeous, talented, and a totally sketchy bastard.

Summary
Halsin has lived long enough to gain and lose many a friend, lover, companion. Such is the fate of elves that seek out company of shorter-lived races. So, when he meets a ragtag group of circumstance-driven adventurers, headed for the dangerous Shadow Cursed lands, he tries his best not to let his heart get too attached.
Astarion knows his group is looking for a solution to their tadpole problem. Unfortunately for them, said tadpole appears to be the solution to his more pressing Cazador problem. So, he does what he must do: charm and manipulate his way to safety, just as he always has. He didn't account for it leaving such a bitter taste in his mouth.
Neither of them was prepared for the other, and yet, they were inevitable.

Summary
Halsin was a relatively new addition to their camp, and Astarion wasn’t quite sure what to make of him. Of course, the druid certainly pretended to be kind, and helpful, and considerate, but surely that was just a little too good to be true. Astarion needed to keep his guard up, because it seemed that there were fresh things trying to kill them on a daily basis, even on top of the ever-present threat of ceremorphosis, and he still had Cazador to worry about. It was certainly no time to go soft.
Astarion negotiates the plot of Baldur's Gate 3 (and a little bit beyond), facing the standard trauma and tribulations, all while stubbornly trying to avoid falling in love with their resident druid.

Summary
Between the beats of Tav’s heart, the world winked from existence. Astarion lurched in confusion, clawing at his own throat when he realized that he couldn’t hear himself scream. He could feel someone’s grip squeeze his wrist painfully tight. They tugged him towards some random direction, and he tripped over his own feet, tumbling to the ground.
Five years post-game. While headed to Gale’s tower, Astarion is cursed by a vicious spell that sends him reeling. Tav is immediately captured by the mysterious woman who cast it--someone angry and powerful, with a vendetta against them both. Blind, deafened, and terrified, Astarion soon finds himself caught up in the throes of a vast conspiracy that involves his haunting past, the Urge’s many sins, and the very future of Waterdeep.
(Meanwhile, Gale has problems of his own...)

Summary
This work will alternate POV between Astarion, Gale, and Halsin, and focus on character exploration, and expanding on a lot of sub-plots from the game regarding the three of them. The canon events will still occur, but a little out of order, and sometimes for different reasons.
The main plot will revolve around Astarion’s gradual discovery of the Black Mass Ritual, and all the Infernal implications of its completion. His past trauma will feature heavily in this fic, and all that entails. The basic idea is that the Black Mass has been centuries in the making, and there are those in the Hells who would rather not see it succeed… at least not as Cazador intends.

Summary
When Astarion awakens in the aftermath of the Nautiloid crash, it is not to a friendly face but the press of goblin steel against his cheek.
Now a captive of the Absolute, he is left starving and huddled in the corner, waiting for the beast that shares his cell to finally strike.
Bears, after all, are not known to be the most gracious killers.

…I find the world oddly quiet without the bickering of Lae’zel and Shadowheart. I often think I see Karlach or Wyll dancing at the edges of my vision but my eyes never find them. Every time someone asks a question I find myself pausing, expecting Gale to answer. And I still look up, searching for your eyes…Bookmarked by Nitheliniel

Summary
Framed by the soft morning light, sleek hair swept back and pale blue robes not even slightly rumpled, he looks almost inhuman.
He looks like the last person who should be knocking on Wei Wuxian’s door.
In which Wei Wuxian is a curse worker secretly searching for a lost dragon, Lan Wangji is his new assistant, and the two things may not be entirely unrelated.

Summary
Wei Wuxian has certainly hoped so ardently in his two lifetimes, for so many different things, in so many different ways, that he could have summoned the demon to his front door with his bare hands. His eyes wander to Lan Zhan, settle on the back of his head, the blue-black curtain of his hair. Oh, how he has hoped.

Summary
Glorfindel's posting to Imladris should have been straightforward, a way for him to integrate into life in the Second Age while giving Elrond some much-needed assistance. None of that took into account the proprietor of the local house of ill repute, or the presence of a suspected arsonist.

Summary
Sometimes, however—when he nestles down for the night and stars splay out like a banner overhead—he allows himself to remember. Gondolin. He remembers a different sky, remembers the smell of flowers drifting through his open window. Crushed herbs from his garden between his fingers, their oil smearing into the delicate skin over his pulse. The weight of another cleaving tight against him. Coal-black hair carding through his hands.
Glorfindel returns to Middle Earth.

“In each of us, two natures are at war -- the good and the evil.
All our lives, the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer.
But in our own hands lies the power to choose -- what we want most to be, we are.”

Summary
Veronika has always led a quiet, easy life in the woods -- far away from anyone who could be hurt or disturbed by her magic.
But her books, her plants, and her way of life gets uprooted as she's torn away from the safety of her home by Magisters, who claim her powers are even greater than she thought. She never expected to fall in line with powerful undead, divine beings, outlaw pirates, wayward bards, and kings and assassins - but here she is.
And out there, a world that needs saving.
[Or alternatively: Veronika goes into the big bad world and tames the biggest, baddest wolf in it.]
