The Wandering Warlock
An origin story for Ava au Nieva - an Aasimar Warlock of the Archfey patron. When her celestial-blessing is mistaken for a curse, Ava is exiled to the Northwoods, where she is found and raised by an eccentric weaver. As she grows and discovers latent threads of power within herself, something quietly beckons to her... Has she found her calling? Or is she being recruited by forces more sinister? ****** Ava is a D&D character I've played in a couple of one-shot games. She was inspired by this coloring book picture I made during the pandemic and I accidentally got carried away with her backstory :) For anyone that's seen "She-ra and the Princesses of Power," you may recognize a certain support character... I found her inspiring and slightly adapted her to help Ava in her origin story :P Character sheet: https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/MustangOfMars/characters/51087049Complete

Echoes of Fate - A D&D Story
What begins as a simple escort mission soon unravels into a battle for survival, vengeance, and destiny. Fendic Lancer, a fierce Dragonborn warrior searching for his place in the world. Alista Willow, a rogue with a haunted past and a secret even she doesn't understand. Balder Slashman, a half-orc druid whose wisdom is often overshadowed by his eccentricity. Together, they set out on a journey through the Sword Coast-only to find themselves entangled in a war far greater than they imagined. From the depths of Cragmaw Hideout to the ruins of Wave Echo Cave, they will face goblin armies, ruthless mercenaries, and dark magic beyond comprehension. But as secrets unfold, Alista discovers she is more than just a survivor-she is the key to something far greater. And Fendic? He must learn that true strength isn't just found in battle-it's found in the bonds we forge and the legacies we leave behind. As their final battle approaches, allies will rise, sacrifices will be made, and destinies will be decided. The Echoes of Fate call to them. But will they survive long enough to answer?

As the Ash Settles
As the Ash Settles, is my take on what happens to the group of companions after saving Baldur's Gate. As the ash settles and the drinks are pouring a familiar sensation washes over our Tav, the very same one that compelled her to attack poor Alfira in her slumber, perhaps defeating her sister was not just denying her father but in fact taking back her rightful spot as leader of the Bhaalspawn, perhaps Withers was indeed wrong. Questions left unanswered while still having to find a special artifact for Astarion to walk and in the sun and still beating heart to fear Karlach. Rated M for Mature. Will include adult behaviors, some violence and well just stuff from the game itself. Don't worry though not a finger will be laid on the goodest boy Scratch.

After saving the city and getting rid of the tadpole, Talin, a skilled storm sorceress who was born and grew up in a privilege, comes home to Baldur's Gate, where strict expectations of the city's upper class and the pressure of her noble responsibilities await her. She made strong connections during her journey and found love amidst the chaos. But at home, she and Astarion have to face not only bias against creatures of the night but also the expectations placed upon Talin. As they dig into Astarion's past and search for a cure for his vampiric affliction, they have to figure out how much they're willing to risk for a chance at a life together in a society where going against the norm could be disastrous. Hi there! This is my first fanfiction and I've never written anything like this, but I love this game and I love fantasy and RPGs so I wanted to try this out and started writing for myself. I really enjoyed writing it, so I decided to share it and I hope you'll enjoy it too. If you do, feel free to drop a comment :) I'm doing my best to stay true to the Forgotten Realms lore, but I might miss a few things here and there. Disclaimer: I want to make it clear that I don't own any of the Baldur's Gate 3 characters. They belong to their creators. But Talin and any other original characters you meet here are my own. Note: Some chapters reveal moments from the game, so be careful if you don't want any spoilers.
