Summary
Brynnmorra Ironshard has been an adventurer on-and-off for over two centuries.

In which I put my curmudgeonly-but-kind 5e fighter dwarf into BG3 so I can keep playing with her and also make her and Halsin smooch in all the glorious detail they deserve.Please mind the tags, here there be spoilers for plot and Halsin's romance route!

Summary
Rolan and Tav set out to catch up on their to-do list, but end up reprioritizing.
This is indulgent fluff and flirting in chapter 1, and smut in chapter 2, I hope you enjoy!
Thank you to the Holy Rolan Empire/Rolan Nation/Rolan Bakery for being the finest group of tiefling enjoyers in all the Realms.

Fevras, Oskar. "Portrait of Astarion Ancunin." 1492 DR, Private Collection by verbena_fanworks

Summary
Tav and crew have just solved the haunting of the Jannath Estate. Oskar Fevras, celebrated painter, owes them the payment he promised back when they first freed him from the Zhentarim, but instead of gold he's offered his creative services. Not a bad deal, considering his renown. A portrait by him could fetch a very handsome sum. But what if there was something priceless to be gained, instead? Tav wonders if this is an opportunity for Astarion to finally, after two centuries, see a "reflection" of himself.
Loosely based on the positive resolution of the "Free the Artist" quest in Act 3. I've lifted a few lines, massaged others, and added a whole lot of my own brainrot.

Summary
“I’m afraid there is no more room for your self-righteousness to expand,” Rolan jabs, unable to resist injecting a cathartic dose of venom into his words.
“I’ll gladly leave it for your hot air, then.” Tav winks, and is already walking past him to break off the conversation and get back at whatever next thing she needs to devote her attention to.
Rolan glowers at the back of her head and neck, at that ridiculous undercut, his tail nearly tying itself into a knot.
Fight her, he decides. If it comes to it, I’ll fight her.

On Such a Starless Night by DiaphanousO for Rhizophora

Summary
After the tiefling refugees are ambushed on the road, Rolan drowns his sorrows at the bar and mourns the abduction of his siblings, Cal and Lia. He's certain of exactly how he failed them, but he also blames Tav, the sorcerer who fights with a sword, wasting talents that come naturally to her, but that he's had to work so hard for.
Tav, a sorcerer whose wild magic surges have tormented her all her life, partly envies but mostly admires Rolan's mastery of the Weave. She could learn a lot from him.
If only he didn't hate her so much.

Summary
Gale has almost everything he could ever want- a well-funded student position at a prestigious university, a beloved cat, and an astrophysics doctoral advisor who also happens to be his lover. His future as a wildly successful professor is all but assured. He just needs to succeed at presenting his newest analysis at the biggest astrophysics conference on the East Coast, and he'll have the resources to start his own lab and develop a Theory of Everything.
What he doesn't understand is Mystra's refusal to let him branch into quantum physics. He's certain, though, that she'll come around once he proves his abilities in the field.
And what does the mysterious, charming, and possibly insane man that just moved into his spare bedroom have to do with all this, anyway?
