Summary
"There's more writing on the bottom of the bowl," Shadowheart said. She was crouched down and pointing to markings on the underside of the creepy, bloodstained altar.
"Is there? What does it say?" Gale asked, shuffling on his knees to get closer to where she was pointing.
"He's going to crawl around like this and then complain about his knees all the way back to camp," Astarion muttered, sounding half amused and half exasperated. Karlach chuckled just a little, because he was right. Talk about being your own worst enemy: Gale versus his knees and back.
"It says 'within each self a monster'," Shadowheart read off of the underside of the bowl.
"Oh, this is very interesting," Gale said. "The blood spilled in the bowl will touch the other phrases, but not this one. I think that marks it as optional. I've heard of something like this before. Azuth set out trials for young mages where one could mark certain incantations with chalk and leave others blank, indicating how difficult a challenge one was willing to face."
"This would make the trial harder?" Shadowheart asked, straightening. "A more difficult test?"

The Last Will and Testament of Cazador Szarr by AbigailMoment

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

Summary
This was supposed to be a typical bug hunt. The plan itself was simple: locate the hive; rescue any humans found along the way; kill the queen, then the hive; and celebrate with the squad over a few rounds after everything is accounted for; rinse and repeat. Corporal Caleb Grace wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary, until he meets face-to-face with a yautja hunter deep inside the hive. The pair begrudgingly work together to survive, fighting off the xenomorphs while also fighting off the feelings they have for each other. ;)

Summary
Rolan pulls in a little breath, beating back a few memories of holding a crisp letter from Lorroakan in his hands, one that would go on to be frayed and fragile after suffering in his pocket for months. “I won’t... I can’t be another apprentice.”
“No, no, no,” Gale assures. “I think assistant professor has a far better ring to it.”
Rolan spends a term at Blackstaff.

Summary
Orin had watched it happen for too long now.
Her brother had been perfect. Bhaal’s favorite, murder incarnate, the master that let her study his craft by his side. Perfect.
And then Enver Gortash came along. A banite snake, driving a wedge between The Dark Urge and his duties.
No more.
She’d fix it. And then her brother would see that she was far more worthy of standing beside him than Gortash ever was.
Yes, everything would be perfect once Enver Gortash was dead.

Summary
It was the first response Rolan had received back. The only response. He’d known before he’d started writing letters that the odds of hearing back were vanishingly small. If he couldn’t convince a wizard in his own city to take him on as an apprentice, why would any other far flung and far more notable ones deign to do so? He knew that most who received his missives would likely think the same thing as the wizards in Elturel. He was too old. Too untrained, never mind that that was the very issue he was seeking to correct.
Too uneducated.
Out of all the replies he could have hoped to receive, this was by far the most unlikely.
And yet, he held the letter in his hands.

What if Rolan had looked for someone to teach him just a little earlier?
What if Gale had answered?Bookmarked by SpellShite

Summary
At the end of it all, outside the Steel Watch foundry, when they stood before each other for the final time, the hardest part for Barcus was not the physical cleaving of himself from Wulbren, as he was already so used to being pushed away. It was not that Wulbren would not see reason, or even that when passion finally flared in his eyes as he looked at Barcus, it was clear, virulent hatred.
No, the hardest part of all was turning away, only to be left with the simple fact of his loneliness. Without Wulbren, who was Barcus, after all? What life was left for him to live?
He did not know.
***
Nearly a year out from the fall of the Absolute, Barcus Wroot finds he has the strength in him for one more go at love, after all.

An Aberration's Guide to Surviving in Baldur's Gate by Neila_Nuruodo
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
01 Mar 2024

Summary
Omeluum, weary of the struggle of existence as a lone illithid in the Underdark, decides to try its luck in the city. It arrives in Baldur's Gate with nothing more than its host's memories of and passion for tea, a few possessions, and enough money to (hopefully) start up a small shop. That, and a diamond-hard core of determination. It isn't looking to become fabulously wealthy, merely make enough to get by and fund its attempts to develop a supplement to replace the brains its biology requires it to eat.
It certainly doesn't expect to make any friends. After all, who would be so foolish as to trust an illithid?

Summary
Blurg has finally found a place for himself in the world. While a hobgoblin running an apothecary might sound like a mere curiosity, he prides himself on the efficacy of his remedies. When the shop next to his, long vacant, is finally rented, he is naturally curious who might have rented it and what plans they have for the space.
He certainly didn't expect it to be an illithid.

Most horrifying to him of all is not your poorly hidden, most likely sexually driven complex, but his own baffling response to it. He finds there is something disgustingly… almost endearing about the way the blood flow rushes to your face, dusts the tips of your ears with red.
What an aberrant little human you were turning out to be.
