Summary
Tav needs a friend. After all, in a place like the Whitkeep Orphanage, you always need someone to watch your back. After saving a new hatchling from a brutal assault, they forge something stronger than friendship—a clan.
Their new clan kin is nice and makes them laugh, but there's something off about him. Seeing raw meat makes his eyes go cold. His blood whispers at him to do awful things. That's alright with Tav, though. They know what it's like not to trust your mind—to be haunted by your past.

Summary
Ruin and Minthara’s long-planned invasion of Menzoberranzan has been interrupted with news from the stars: a battered and broken Lae’zel warning that Vlaakith is hunting any who had opposed her.
It’s not the only problem: Gortash, under the physical strain of becoming Bane’s Exarch, has begun showing signs of instability.
Will Gortash and Ruin be able to hold it all together and conquer the world?
Post-canon, endgame plot fic. If you like drow politics, liches, worldbuilding, and a plot that involves deities (oh, and Ascended Astarion descending into madness) this might be the one for you.
Updates Mondays. Can be read fandom-blind and without reading previous in series.

Summary
Demera has a simple life as a farmer and wouldn’t have it any other way (so she says). She’s sworn to use her powers as a witch to only nurture, but when she’s forced to defend everything she loves from a raw deal with Lone Wolves, she unearths a darker part of herself she buried long ago.
Forced to partner with a band of rogues and ruffians including the Lone Wolf who tried to take everything from her, she soon learns that when you bury something deep enough, it tends to take root.

Summary
**COMPLETE**
The Sword Coast is Gortash and Ruin’s to rule, but it is not enough. When a war with the Harpers threatens to engulf what they have won and foreign ambassadors flood his capital, Gortash hatches a plan to resurrect his Steel Watch. To get the information he needs, he will have to face, and break, a resurrected Raphael.
“People should either be caressed or crushed…. They avenge light offenses; they cannot avenge severe ones; hence, the harm one does to a man must be such as to obviate any chance of revenge."

The Black Hand of Bane by aqeldroma
Fandom Baldur's Gate (Video Games), Forgotten Realms (Roleplaying Game), The Legend of Drizzt Series - R. A. Salvatore
29 Jun 2026
Summary
Wherein the Dark Urge discovers the truth behind her memory loss, goes on a journey of self discovery that ends up being more of a trail of corpses, and decides to take over the world.
Everything can be read as a standalone, and everything is in chronological order.
Where to start reading is up to you:
1: Pre-canon Dark Urge. One-shots prior to the longfics are pre-tadpole and pre-canon stories. Expect the usual atrocities.2: Ruin's tale: The two longfics are an arc with a 1st POV of post-tadpole Dark Urge. Begin with Under the Black Hand, which is an Act 3 revision (starts off where you think, does not end where you think) and is the only story during the events of the game. Closing the Fist picks up one month post-canon (how actually will you take over the world? it's complicated).
3: Gortash's tale: POV third, picking up on trauma from House of Hope and continues the post-canon journey, starts with Down Comes the Claw.
4: Multi-POV (Minthara/Ruin/others): Alternating POV 1st and third, The Grip of Steel starts 1 year post-game. This longfic will bring this tale to its finale.
