Summary
Ruin and Minthara’s long-planned invasion of Menzoberranzan has been interrupted with news from the stars: a battered and broken Lae’zel has arrived with a dire warning: Vlaakith is hunting any who had opposed her.
It’s not the only problem: Gortash, under the physical strain of becoming Bane’s Exarch, has begun showing signs of instability.
Will Gortash and Ruin be able to hold it all together? Or will a vengeful Elminster finally topple their reign?
Post-canon, endgame plot fic. If you like drow politics, liches, worldbuilding, and a plot that involves deities (oh, and Ascended Astarion descending into madness) this might be the one for you.
Updates Mondays, 3x month

Summary
Orson Krennic survived the watchtower, and found in the Death Star's destruction an opportunity. After all, when everyone else who knew how it was constructed died on board, he had a few pieces left to play. His pawn of his choice? Dedra Meero.
This is the story of the construction of the second Death Star, featuring Krennic, Dedra Meero, Kleya Marki, and exactly what the Bothans discovered, and when.
As canon-compliant as I can make it, save for Krennic's survival. Will have Andor (TV) settings and characters but can be picked up by any who have watched Rogue One. Updates biweekly.

The Black Hand of Bane by aqeldroma
Fandom Baldur's Gate (Video Games), The Legend of Drizzt Series - R. A. Salvatore
02 Mar 2026
Summary
Wherein the Dark Urge discovers the truth behind her memory loss, goes on a journey of self discovery that ends up being more of a trail of corpses, and decides to take over the world.
Everything can be read as a standalone, and everything is in chronological order.
Where to start reading:
1: Pre-canon Dark Urge. One-shots prior to the longfics are pre-tadpole and pre-canon stories. Expect the usual atrocities.2: Ruin's tale: The two longfics are an arc with a 1st POV of post-tadpole Dark Urge. Begin with Under the Black Hand, which is an Act 3 revision (starts off where you think, does not end where you think) and is the only story taking place during the events of the game. Closing the Fist picks up one month post-canon (how actually will you take over the world? it's complicated).
3: Gortash's tale: POV third, picking up on trauma from House of Hope and continues the post-canon journey, starts with Down Comes the Claw.
4: Multi-POV (Minthara/Ruin/others): Alternating POV 1st and third, The Grip of Steel starts 1 year post-game. This longfic will bring this tale to its finale.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Astarion.” Wyll put a hand on his shoulder. Astarion inclined his head, eyebrows up. “I am going to need you to tell me that you did not feed from that woman before she passed.” He put his hand over the vampire’s mouth before he could reply. “I need you to tell me that. I need to pretend to believe you. Do you understand me?” He removed his hand.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Stiff as a corpse.” She stares down between his legs. “I wonder… If I slice off its manmeat, will it grow back?”
“Orin.”
“It said I could do anything.” She pouts.
And so she does. And does. And does.
