Summary
In the wake of the Netherbain’s defeat, Isla had settled in a small, secluded cabin in the woods not far from the site of their triumph. Her days were filled with helping the city rebuild alongside her cherished friends and companions. Halsin visited often, sometimes for months at a time, at other times only a few days, but whenever he did she was happy. They would spend long hours reveling in their lovemaking, leaving the world behind them. And then, as quickly as he came, he would go back to the site formerly known as the Shadowlands, to serve and rebuild there.
Isla never once sent for Halsin, only patiently waited for the winds of fate to send him in her direction, until the day she discovered she was pregnant.
(AKA, my first Tav, Isla, has a baby and Halsin serves as midwife because he's Halsin and he's the best. Also, Astarion is here? But for other things. *shrug*)

Summary
“With my condition as volatile as it is, I fear any undue, er, excitement, may tip it over the edge. So to speak. Go, indulge in the frivolities – they're good for the heart. And mine will be all the lighter to see you enjoying yourself.”
Xorsha writes a song and Gale changes his mind at the Tiefling party.
(If you were slightly disappointed by the lack of romantic progression with Gale at the Tiefling party, I offer you this alternative for your headcanon. Enjoy!)

Summary
Post Act 2, Gale ponders Mystra's missive and questions Xorsha’s affections. She helps lay those qualms to rest in more ways than one.
“Well, generosity is always a noble virtue–whether it be in the streets, at the charity box, or betwixt the sheets.” He had said. Now it's Xorsha’s turn to be generous.
(In other words, self-loathing Gale gets a sexy "lovely little pick-me-up" from his new girlfriend)

Summary
“You don’t erase damage,” Verso said; “you learn to work with it. Fill the cracks gently. Help it hold together again.”
////
Six months after the explosion at the lab, Gustave returns to work with an arm gone and a brain still far from healed. The university told him to take more time. His friends tried to pull him back into the world, but he’s learned how to turn them all away.
On his first day back, he meets Verso Dessendre; quiet, steady, with scars of his own and a beautiful streak of silver in his hair. A man who restores paintings for a living, yet struggles to restore himself.
As they grow closer, Gustave begins to wonder if Verso might be right.
Maybe some damage isn’t the end, but the start of something worth holding together. -

Summary
Back when Verso still believed himself to be just another face in Lumière’s crowd, he was becoming quite impatient with waiting for his soulmate to appear so they could bring colours into each other’s lives. Then, Verso learnt the truth and knew that, in a world where no one was supposed to go through life alone, he was a fake made to exist without anyone to complete his soul.
It’s more than half a century later when fate mocks him again.

Summary
Assassinating an archdevil is a daunting task, even for the heroes of Baldur's Gate. Some inside help from 'the devil they know' would be good, if not for the detail their last meeting ended with said devil dead in his own home.
Or did it?[Within the ball you see Raphael, broken and bloody, dangling above the maw of the archdevil Mephistopheles who is preparing to devour him.]
