Illithid Anatomy: Comparative Analysis of Pre- and Post-Ceremorphosis by elsenova

Summary
I wanted it to be published on ResearchGate, but they declined, so I made an account on AO3. Just kidding, it’s a fantasy story.
To find a decent thrall in a burning nautiloid was somewhat... troublesome, but the Emperor was not one to give up. Not even when the only option left was, objectively, a disaster.
Infected with an alien larva that will overwrite her body, Talula — a wizard whose spellcasting has grown rusty — has only days, a kleptomaniacal companion, and her analytical mind to find a cure. A shame that each of her well-considered decisions breeds a worse emergency.

~Now with art in chapter 21 and chapter 25.

Summary
A collection of short stories happening within the verse of my Tav's story, named as such because:
- Tav, her actual name Lellar, is a drow born in the Underdark but who fled with Halsin's help when she was 10, and was then trained as a wizard by my former Pathfinder character, a Samsaran, who somehow managed to travel through universes
- Flaming Fist Marcus is freed from the Absolute's grasp, is considered as one of the many descendants of Balduran, and joins the group along with his "most valuable friend"
- The Dark Urge is named Shiinah and she accidentally ended up... giving a massage to Withers one night when attempting to murder him

Summary
This story has a few lines which represent a spoiler for Act 3, Wyll quest, and about the true identity of the Emperor. Please skip if you are not already aware of it, or do not like to be spoiled. It's narrated on a first person point of view, the Emperor's POV, to be more specific, and is a long, poetic-prose monologue.
The idea is simple: Tav cannot sleep. The Emperor offers to help, and while he knows a magical sleep may be useful, he also knows it will only be a temporary relief. But he has another idea, which is helping Tav relax solely by the sound of his voice telling a story. Only problem... Tav... is prone to distractions?
(Chapter 1 : English version / Chapter 2 : French -original- version)

Summary
What kind of illithid colony chose not to cull an illithid as outrageously aberrant as the Emperor? How did it relearn the secret to building nautiloids, long-lost technology from the age of illithid dominion? Who was the Absolute, before it was the Absolute?
Tav remembers. They are one of the last thralls of the original colony, from before the madness seized the brain. Soon, they will be reborn as another nameless illithid, another cog in a senseless machine, no past, no present, no future. But then the voice of the Absolute falls silent. The nautiloid crashes. And Tav remembers what was lost.

Summary
Ansur, searching for Balduran across Faerûn, grudgingly enlists the help of a crew who will not call themselves adventurers. Years later, the mind flayer called Balduran searches Baldur's Gate for signs of his long-lost dog, Rascal.
This story is a Baldur's Gate 3 prequel that wonders about Ansur and the mind flayer that would be called the Emperor. How did their relationship deteriorate? Was it purely due to Balduran's ceremorphosis, or did it just make them both re-evaluate who they thought the other person was? In considering those questions, this fic theorizes about who and what is/isn't remembered in legends, the value of treasure and wealth, the power of a broken oath, what it means to be "worthy," and whether being considered "worthy" is really worth anything at all.
