Summary
Baldur’s Gate is technically safe. The city still bleeds — and Mirin is part of the wound.
She holds the city together with councils, refugees, crime and politics, until there’s nothing left but duty and exhaustion. Everyone praises their hero. No one tells her to stop.
No one except the man in chains.
Enver Gortash, deposed tyrant and public monster, watches her shake through visits she insists are “fine” and calls her martyrdom what it is: a slow execution in the name of goodness. When his clean, bloodless escape turns her into the city’s scapegoat, he keeps his promise.
He takes her away from the knives.
In his gilded cage, Mirin finds herself cared for, fed, and carefully contained. Gortash offers what Baldur’s Gate never did: rest, brutal honesty, and a choice that isn’t really a choice. Outside, the city howls for its missing hero. Inside, the man she tried to save patiently proves his point about power, devotion, and people built to break themselves for a cause.
Leaving him means returning to martyrdom. Staying means accepting a love that feels like possession.
Either way, someone owns the pieces.

Summary
When the amnesiac Dark Urge pieces together coded letters and a hidden prayer, they reach a startling conclusion: before the memory loss, they and Enver Gortash were lovers. At his coronation, they announce this “truth” with absolute conviction—in front of half the city’s elite.
This is news to Gortash.

Commander Zhiva and the De Vries Double‑Cross by Aerin67

Summary
Ten years after the Horizon Point disaster, Commander Zhiva is thawed out, handed a gun, and pointed straight at the woman who blew up her life.
Tracking Augustine De Vries through the chaos of Auntie’s Choice should be simple—follow the trail, crack the console, get the confession. Instead, Zhiva finds half-buried evidence, a hidden room, and a “confession” log that raises more questions than it answers.
With Niles still looking at her like she’s everything an Earth Directorate Agent should be, Zhiva has to reconcile the professional she wants to be with the furious survivor who wants to bounce Augustine’s head off a console to the rhythm of an ethics lecture.
Post‑Horizon Point character study: one betrayed scientician, one disillusioned hero‑worshipper, and the slow, ugly work of turning righteous anger into something like justice.

Summary
Sparring with Enver Gortash is supposed to be simple: no magic, no weapons, just bruises and banter. But one careless jibe about Mirin’s divine blood cuts too deep, and her control slips—magic surges, her fist connects, and Gortash hits the ground hard, bloodied and grinning like he’s finally gotten exactly what he wanted.
Pinned beneath the spawn of a god, he isn’t afraid. He’s exhilarated.
In the charged quiet of the training yard, Mirin realises two things: Enver has been goading her power from the start, and he is more than willing to bleed to stand at the edge of her storm. What follows is a battle of wills and worship, where power is leverage, devotion is a weapon, and the man who would rule a city might just prefer to kneel for a goddess instead.
Or: Mirin loses her temper in the sparring ring, Gortash discovers that getting punched by a demigod is his new favourite hobby, and somewhere between bruises and blood, they start negotiating what it means to rule—together.

Born of blood and bound by the will of a god, the Dark Urge has always obeyed. Across three intertwined tales, she grapples with legacy, loyalty, and love, moving from devoted Bhaalspawn to autonomous leader of Baldur’s Gate. Haunted by shadows, guided by morality, and tested by ambition, every choice carries consequence, and only she can define who she is and what the world will become under her hand.

Summary
Orin, raised in Bhaal’s temple and starving for anything that feels like connection, finds her first escape in a theater, and in a boy named Norris, later “Dribbles.” Their secret rehearsals and shared love of art become the only place she feels real.
But Bhaal doesn’t allow happy stories: years later, the circus brings Dribbles back to Baldur’s Gate.

Summary
You stand at the docks of Baldur’s Gate, the Netherbrain is slain. You watch Gale leave to retrieve the Crown of Karsus.
It takes you very long to realize he is not coming back.
This is what happens afterwards and it burns slowly.
*****
Gale's Sneaky God ending is fascinating to me. I know I will most likely never play it because I'd cry too much but I enjoy exploring the idea in writing.I tried to write this for genderneutral reader, there is no smut.
Just loss, self-loathing, fear and some angst.
This is dark.

Summary
“What level of attire do you expect from your superior officers?” Rao asked Niles, standing in front of him in the main room of the ship. He was in full Protectorate down-time regalia, clutching a datapad like it held the kind of secrets that could bring down the entire corrupt organization.
Commander Bri Shepherd keeps things rather unprofessional around the ship, something her emotional support arbiter takes extreme umbrage with. Confronting him about it goes exactly as you would hope.

Bookmarker's Notes
*****, 10/10 no notes. Will be reread many time. Gortash POV and it's exquisite. Dry humour and very funny.
