Summary
"Standing on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, looking up at the night sky, Astarion has to concede that he definitely isn‘t on Toril anymore.
Last he heard, his world doesn‘t have a vaguely unsettling-looking red moon riding the coattails of the silvery regular one that is drifting above the clouds with an air of serenity."
Or: The continuation from From The Wreckage, wherein a slightly diminished group of formerly tadpoled fools goes on a wild goose chase trying to help a friend from being burnt up by her own heart.
At least, that's how it starts.
Some pasts just can't stay dead.

Summary
"Nautiloid abductions are supposed to be a fucking hoax, an urban myth, a conspiracy theory bandied about by people in possession of slightly less than the optimal number of marbles. Not actual reality, and certainly not something that happens to circus barkers on the road to the idyllic little town of Trostenwald."
Or: The one where the nautiloid made a detour and picked up an additional genderfluid tiefling.
Or: The one where Molly gets to get on the nerves of foes, fiends, and friends in Faerûn. (In particular, one elven vampire spawn.)
Or: The Mollystarion/Vampire Hunter (I made the ship, I get to name it) fic my brain wouldn't shut up about and now it's everyone's problem.

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.

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

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.
