Summary
The Netherbrain is defeated, Baldur's Gate is burning, and Ta'av is reeling in the aftermath. With her last link to her past now severed, she faces an impossible choice: does she try to be the hero that others seem to think she is, or does she defy fate and the gods in pursuit of her heart's desire?

Summary
Bane laughed and waved a hand, gesturing at his—at Enver’s—body. “Fret not. Gortash is here, aware, unharmed. I know how fond of each other you are.”
His smiled turned into a leer, and his eyes glittered with malice as he watched for her reaction. Elegy made the slightest shrug and said, “Hmm.”
“Or perhaps he is fonder of you than you are of him,” Bane said. The thought amused him greatly.
Elegy slowly pulled off one glove and tossed it on top of her cloak, and he followed the movement with his eyes. “Can you blame him?”

Summary
“You have followed me almost since I arrived,” she said. It was not a question. “You are not quiet enough to be my shadow and too unkempt to be subtle. Were we in the city above, the Watch or the Fist would cart you away, assuming you were just another impoverished orphan.” She paused, considering. “Which, I suppose, is not entirely inaccurate.”
Orin bristled, pulling her arm out of the butler’s bony grasp. “They would not. I can be anyone, anything I want.”
The older girl raised her eyebrows. “Show me, then.”

Masquerade (burning glances, turning heads) by elinorbard

Summary
Together, they attracted curious glances and a rush of whispered conversation everywhere they went. Enver knew exactly what the partygoers said to each other behind their masks and goblets: they laughed too loudly; they bared too much skin; they drank their wine too quickly; they danced only with each other, and their touch was too bold. They were too bright, too crass, too entangled, too different, too disruptive. The Upper City did not know what to make of them, and for the first time in many years, Enver did not give a damn.

Summary
It’s Liar’s Night of 1490 DR, and Delilah, Bhaal’s favourite daughter, is throwing a masquerade party with a twist, luring the entirety of elite Upper City society to her estate for a night that they will never forget.
The plot thickens, her alliance with a certain Chosen of Bane soars to new heights, yet still Delilah finds her appetite utterly insatiable.
A (fashionably late) contribution for Durgetash Week 2025 featuring Faerûn’s most toxic couple being horribly in love, avidly horny, and unspeakably evil.
With some very special guests.Series

Summary
Baldur’s Gate is technically safe. The city still bleeds — and Mirin is part of the wound. She holds it together with councils, refugees, crime and politics, until there’s nothing left but duty and exhaustion. Everyone praises their hero. No one tells her to stop. No one except the man in chains.
Enver Gortash, deposed tyrant and public monster, watches her shake through visits she insists are “fine” and calls her martyrdom what it is: a slow execution in the name of goodness. When his clean, bloodless escape turns her into the city’s scapegoat, he keeps his promise. He takes her away from the knives.
In his gilded cage, Mirin finds herself cherished, fed, and carefully contained. Gortash offers what Baldur’s Gate never did: rest, brutal honesty, and devotion that feels a lot like possession. Outside, the city howls for its missing hero. Inside, the man she tried to save patiently proves his point about power and people built to break themselves for a cause.
Leaving him means returning to martyrdom. Staying means surrendering to a love that will never let her go.

Updated regularly. While part of a larger collection about my Durge Mirin, this can be read as a standalone series.

Cause I'm Just a Teenage Green-Hag, Baby by Defira for elinorbard

Summary
Ethel is feeling clucky — she's between daughters at the moment, the last few having foolishly gotten themselves offed by daring do-gooders. What is a hag without her coven? Well, traditionally, far less stressed and aggravated, but it's the principle of the thing! Baldur's Gate is plump with fat, nosy little children who would make fine little hags, and so she sets up her nest.
She wasn't expecting a bloody cuckoo to come walking straight in without knocking.

Summary
Upon her recruitment to Bane's fledgling cult in Baldur's Gate, Ranalka Bersend never imagined that a Bhaalspawn would change the course of her life forever. Over the years that followed, the growing relationship between the leaders of the two cults would come to define her own service - and teach her more about love and duty than she'd ever hoped to know.
