Summary
Six months after the fall of the Netherbrain, Gale and Astarion have gone their separate ways. Astarion is coming to enjoy the simple things in life. For once, he’s murdering, threatening, and intimidating the right people, and earning a tidy amount of gold at the same time.
In Waterdeep, Gale is working hard to find his place among the realm’s most prominent wizard academics, but can’t bring himself to publish a single paper.
When Astarion’s sister Dalyria brings him stories of disappearing vampire spawn children, Astarion is forced back into close proximity with the Waterdhavian wizard he’s tried in vain to get over. Together, Astarion, Dal, and Gale find themselves facing a new threat in the Underdark, one that proves the most depraved schemes in Faerûn did not die with the Dead Three’s chosen.
A story about figuring out who you are after trauma, what happens when you begin to heal, and how to rediscover yourself after turning down untold power.

Summary
Willow would have been his consort, but what she really wanted to be was his wife. Either way, she would have been his doting partner, picking out paint colors and party favors behind the scenes. She would have been anything for him, done anything for him.
As long as it was her choice to do it in the end.
The only thing Willow didn’t want to be was his spawn. And months ago, that was the dealbreaker.TLDR: After the fall of the Netherbrain and the end of her relationship with the Vampire Ascendant, Willow still wants a family. Astarion still wants her back.

Summary
“Adultery,” Raphael repeats plainly. “Infidelity.”
“Yes.” Astarion tosses his quill down. “It appears that I’ve spent the last few months drinking, fucking, and compelling people of our government. I recall none of it, mind you. But given Lilith’s absence, Halsin insisting that I not be left alone, and Shadowheart desperately praying for my damned soul—I can conclude that I have dragged myself into a bender that has wreaked havoc on my life as I knew it."
A sequel to the events of Hellish Rebuke. This story will not make sense if you have not read its predecessor.

Summary
“Tara. What in the Nine Hells happened to my beard?”
Gale had gone on a great adventure with a band of tadpoles misfits to save the world from the Absolute. That much, he was certain of. So why and how did he find himself back in Waterdeep, a year before that whole venture, and just days away from committing the mistake of a lifetime? Did the friends from his vision indeed exist? Or better yet, did they remember? What could it all mean?
A bit of time traveling shenanigans and the threat of Absolutists to defeat anew... But just how much does everyone recall from that glimpse into the future exactly? Find friends and foes alike back in an adventure with much more to offer than you’d first wager![Act 1 & 2 of this fic published, Act 3 mostly written]

Summary
From the moment you met, you were inseparable. He was with you through the best and worst moments of your life. You finally found him again, the Prince, the one who was supposedly dead, and had been for five years. Or rather, he found you dying. He’s even further gone than you last remember him being, but he did still help you. You owe him for saving your life, for saving your mission, and by the Goddess, do you want to give him something in return for all that he’s done for you. It’s just upsetting that what he wants from you is of a... sexual nature. He’s completely different from the man you used to love. And it doesn’t help in the slightest that there’s a war going on too.
