    Summary

    Luna, a high-elf with magic at her fingertips just as fiery as her hair, has so far lived a sheltered life controlled by her father, who has recently sold away her hand in marriage to a wealthy but horribly abusive man. Just as she is beginning to feel as if her time is running out to ever escape the hellish reality her life has become, a nautiloid flies over Baldur’s Gate.
    Unsure if she wants to return home to save her father from a lifetime of debt or use this tadpoled opportunity to run away forever, Luna finds herself falling into yet another predicament along the way: in love with a manipulative vampire.

     
    - An in-depth retelling of the “in-between,” with more focus on interpersonal relationships than rehashing events that already play out in the game.

    - Written in first-person, diary-style POV to more realistically explore Luna’s feelings about Astarion’s deception.

    Currently rewriting early chapters! See summaries for updates.

    Summary

    “Are you angry because I bit you?” He asked, the timbre of his voice gravelly. “Or because that is exactly what you crave? For me to soil you? Take what I want from you? Devour you?”

    Or: Tav hides from ascended Astarion. Eventually, he finds her.

    Summary

    The Dead Three and their Chosen have hatched a plot, Illithids are invading the Sword Coast, and Gods and Devils alike swarm to take advantage of the chaos for their own purposes, moving their pawns on the grand lanceboard of souls to face each other.

    When 47-year old middle school math teacher and veteran army medic Nora Feyre makes a tiny mistake, she doesn't know she's upended the playing field, setting off a plan laid down by a father she's never known.

    Infected with an alien parasite in a Tolkien-esque world, it's going to take every single skill she has to rally her fellow survivors into a team that can survive long enough to find a cure. Especially the vampire, who seems custom-made to be her worst nightmare.

    It was a good thing she never left home unarmed.

    Note: This is a rewrite of my first fanfic - Threadbare - which has now been renamed Threadbare, Draft 1.

    Summary

    "I don't want you to touch me," he began, and her eyes widened at his request. "But I want to touch you. I want you to show me exactly what feels good for you, and I don't want you to fake it. If I do anything that isn't going to bring you to your release, I want to know. And if I make you come tonight, it will be real. Any cry that falls from your lips will be genuine, and I will know if it's not."

    "You... just want to please me?"

    "Yes," he agreed. "I just want to please you.

    When Talia left the Underdark, she had many expectations of what the surface would bring. Making her living in a brothel wasn't one of them—but the coin is steady, the clients are predictable, and she keeps her emotions out of her work.

    And then a pale elf walks in, uninterested and intriguing.

    The first night? They only talk.

    The second? He asks her for something no client ever has: honesty.

    As their meetings grow more frequent, keeping her emotions out of her work becomes harder than she ever imagined.

    And when she stumbles upon a darker side of him, she's left with two questions:

    Should she let him go?

    Does she even want to?
