    ORIGINAL, VERY NOT CANON ELEMENTS BE HERE. STORY STARTS POST-GAME [I'll add more tags as they become relevant]

    Emily doesn't belong in Faerun. But having the very volatile power to enter new worlds, it's amazing how many times she finds herself in places she shouldn't. After she and the friends that got pulled in along with her join the cast of Baldur's Gate 3, love blooms and withers, the plot has a mind of it's own. With Shadowheart deciding for herself to kill Nightsong and her parents, and Astarion bypassing Emily for his ascension.

    Despite all these challenges, she completes the script. Her friends able to leave, Emily must remain in her self inflicted hell. Shadowheart departs to serve Shar, Astarion to chase more power. Wyll to help Karlach chase a cure to her engine in Avernus. Lae'zel with Orpheus. And Gale to Waterdeep. Emily cannot return to reality with her friends, her use of her powers binding her to the world of Baldur's Gate 3. She accepts Gales invitation to join him in Waterdeep.

    But after almost a year passes and her friends return with her mentor to share they may have discovered her way back home, in Baldur's Gate. The city a year under Astarions thumb. Is returning worth the risk?

    Summary

    Lae'zel had nothing left.

    She'd lost her girlfriend, her job, and her will to keep going all in six months. So when Wyll invites her to his club, Hell's Bells, in an attempt to cheer her up, Lae'zel expects nothing from it. She does it largely to indulge him.

    It's there she meets Wyll's friend Shadowheart -- a disk jockey who plays at his club. She's rude, she's blunt, she's nihilistic, she's very forward. But most of all, she's infuriatingly beautiful. She is everything Lae'zel didn't know she wanted. She is terrifying.

    Lae'zel keeps returning anyway.


    Modern AU - Shadowheart is a DJ, Lae'zel is a sad little puppy, and together they bring out the worst in each other. But also the best. And, in the end, the best of them wins. A tale of heartbreak, loss, recovery and, ultimately, connection.

    - look, I had to write a DJ fic alright? Shadowheart's nickname is literally DJ Shart for God's sake.

    Summary

    Tav was running from something, that much was clear. What bothered Shadowheart more was her tendency to play the hero. She thought she was doing so well at sticking to her training and keeping her distance - until she realised she wasn't.

    - A retelling of the game through the POV of Shadowheart and a Selûnite Tav.
