Summary
An AU fantasy anti-fascism fic with a cast of hundreds, running from DR 1492-DR 1494.
This will be dark, painful and vicious because fascists do fascist things (hence the Dead Dove), but I promise that there is eventually a happy ending.

Summary
If it wasn't for that damned orb, Gale might consider Wyll as something more than a friend. But it wasn't fair to risk getting attached when he was cursed in this way. Wyll deserved someone who didn't have the potential to explode.

Summary
Disclaimer: This work is rated "Mature" for graphic descriptions of physical and emotional violence. There will be sexually explicit moments in Act 2, but I will put an author's note at the start of those chapters so you will be warned.
When Ada is ripped from her familiar life and thrust into the fantastical and brutal world of Faerûn, she finds herself transformed into a different kind of being. Infected by mind flayers, she teams up with the other survivors and tries to find a cure. In Faerûn, Ada must come to terms with her changed body and newly awakened magic while being hunted by a violent cult. Amidst battles, cultists, and clashes with gods and devils, Ada learns that trust is fragile, love is terrifying, and that her way home might take longer than she would have liked.
This is a work of fanfiction based on Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Studios. I do not own the characters, settings, or concepts from the original game. All rights to Baldur's Gate 3 belong to Larian Studios and Wizards of the Coast.

Summary
Ellandra blinked at the iron lamp-post, its magical glow casting a flickering halo of light onto the delicate snowflakes that fluttered and floated around it. The ground was a blanket of crisp whiteness, and the sound of murmured conversations ebbed and flowed from somewhere nearby, punctuated by peals of laughter and happy exclamations. The spicy aroma of cinnamon, apples and warming alcohol permeated the air.
Was that... jingling bells?
Disoriented, she took a step back and watched as a sleigh - pulled by a transparent silvery unicorn - zipped and weaved in her general direction. Two red-faced, hysterical dwarves and an extremely merry troll skimmed by, waving tankards and singing something loud and gleeful. They cheered and sang louder as they veered round her, narrowly missing a bolting squirrel, its red bushy tail flicking panicked puffs of snow behind it.
Ahh. Suddenly it made sense.

Summary
I wanted it to be published on ResearchGate, but they declined, so I made an account on AO3. Just kidding, it’s a fantasy story.
Summary:
Infected with an alien larva that will overwrite her body, Talula — a wizard whose spellcasting has grown rusty — has only days, a kleptomaniacal companion, and her analytical mind to find a cure, but each of her well-considered decisions breeds a worse disaster.Notes:
– Tav1 (Talula) is tadpoled and Tav2 (Yu-On) isn’t, to have two characters to interact with the world from different perspectives.
– All other OCs are my other Tavs who needed to be honoured as well, but they got only roles of “the mob” for completing the side quests and driving the plot forwards, since Tav1 is a confused fellow.
– There are no canon party companions because this story is devoted to the Emperor, out of my disappointment with how he has been sidelined by the game developers. Source:the gameBaldur’s Gate III and the Queer Politics of Monstrosity
