A choice has been made at the crossroads, and a young elf leaves the protection of Gorion and the silence of Candlekeep to seek answers to her heritage. As she journeys through the Coast and into the Heartlands to forge her own destiny, she comes to understand that not all lessons are of the hammer and sword. AU BG1

One night, in a lost temple far beneath the Sword Coast, dark forces stirred with dark intent towards the children of a dead god. Battle was joined, and when the smoke cleared only two of these special children still lived. Or... was it three?

BGEE: One-shot spin off from Shifting Targets. Not all of Gorion's children chose to desert him on the night that Sarevok came to claim his life. One young paladin was so brave, true and honourable that he could not flee while his father was murdered.

Ascension is everything it cracked up to be and more. So, so much more. So much in fact that our hero has taken to monologuing. Just another day in the life of the lord of Murder. One-shot. AU.

A single small alteration can change everything. In this AU, we explore two very simple what ifs: what if Ellesime wasn't an only child, and what if species described as 'cunning' were actually smart?

Candlekeep, font of knowledge. Charname, inquisitive, curious; Gorion, evasive. What happens when Charname puts two and two together (with the help of Imoen)? He comes to one, undeniable, conclusion: he has the power to save everyone from the Wall of the Faithless. The catch? He has to murder them all to do it. Thus begins the darkest crusade.

It starts how it always starts: with words scratched into a journal. It ends where it ends. Possibly. For Kartyna, life in Candlekeep was idyllic, her return home triumphant(?), and the journal chronicling her life unbiased(?) and impeccable(?). Whatever one writes down in one's own hand can always be trusted, right?

Not long after the siege of Dragonspear Castle incident, Ralis, the hero of Baldur's Gate is forced to leave the Sword Coast under very dark circumstances. Soon after, Ralis and his companions are kidnapped, and brutally tortured. Why? For what reason? And who is this mysterious mage?

BGEE: The cautionary tale of Thorg the Half-Orc, who dismissed his thief and was sliced in two by a trapped treasure chest.

After the dirt and grime of bandits in the wilderness, Viconia and Dynaheir take some time off to relax and bond at a luxurious bath house. Friendship fic.

Fleeing, alone, isolated in a grim city, Imoen remembers the rituals she learnt from Winthrop.

Playing through Siege of Dragonspear got me interested in doing some writing about Baldur's Gate; it's a fantastic story, one I can hopefully do some justice with words. Not many pieces in this section are in first person, so I think that's interesting ground to cover. Not sure if I'll update this too often, but I'd like to, at any rate.

Durlag's Tower holds items of interest, particularly to those with the imagination to use them. That is, assuming that the crack to one's head isn't the last delusion as one breaks into golden dust. AU.

My very first fic - a Baldur's Gate AU novelisation. Focuses on lesser known non-joinable characters. A lone elf makes his way through the chaos that threatens the Sword Coast, finding unlikely allies in unlikely places. But all alliances have their cost, and that cost goes both ways. Written in 2005.

AU Novelisation of Baldur's Gate. Part 3 of 3. The endgame approaches, but facing it requires courage. So much loss, so many scars, but at least they still have each other... The third part of Left Behind, written back in September 2011.

AU Novelisation of Baldur's Gate. Part 2 of 3. Reunited, the two siblings find themselves somewhere else, lost but not alone. The second part of Left Behind, written back in September 2011.

AU Novelisation of Baldur's Gate. Part 1 of 3. Taken out of Candlekeep by Gorion, Imoen and [Charname] are parted, leaving [Charname] to fend for himself. As bitterness ensues, he taps into his latent power, and scours the Sword Coast for those willing to serve. If Beregost won't have him, perhaps the demi-humans will. A rare first-person piece, written back in September 2011.

A potion of regeneration, the Claw of Kazgoroth. What could possibly go wrong? AU.

"A marriage of convenience?" "Uhh… no." Perhaps it would have be better if Nalia checked the rolls before refusing, or at least, talked with the rest of his companions first. But for Charname, it's just another day. One shot. AU.

Ayla survived the Sword Coast and even managed to defeat her brother Sarevok. It's just a shame she can't remember anything about it because of Irenicus. If asked she'd probably say that if that was her, it's likely she'd never had much choice about it. Continuation from The Reluctant Bhaalspawn.

Irenicus unwittingly provides Charname with the means to ruin the world. Is imitation really the highest form of flattery? (Warning: Blatant abuse of game concepts).

Faerun, a Dyson Sphere, orbits the sun. Everything is bigger, much bigger, but for Ia, life is as she knows it. What she doesn't know is her mother, her father, or indeed, anything of practical use. Mega-corporations rule the trade routes and she's just a tiny fish in a gigantic ocean. Or is she? Pre-EE. Written 11-05-18. 'Semi'-complete (it's at an ending point; may return to it)

'Merchant Prince' Yulja (Charname) buys shares in the Nashkel mine, demanding the mayor hold off on the news the mine was cleared; using the 900g, she invests in shares. Things take a turn from there. Pre-EE. Written on 23-09-18 in two days.

Post-ToB. A recounting of a journey and the decision for the journey ahead. Written 18-02-18 (DD/MM/YY). Pre-EE.

I love Baldur's Gate and I love Halloween. What could be better than combining the two? (well lots but meh, shrugs) Based on the companions in "The Reluctant Bhaalspawn" plus some guest appearances and a few interlopers from BG2. Set in Baldur's Gate against the background of the quests and people you meet there.
