Summary
Thy mind is sunder’d, thy flesh is bound by oaths, and thy heart belongeth unto him who claimeth passion as his own.
He granteth thee promises of æternity, and each seemeth a solace—yet behind them lieth the price: thy freedom.
Thou seekest thyself, yet findest but new chains, e’ermore tightly entwining thee with him.
In a world of blood, of dominion, and of grey morality, no saviours dwell—only pain and obsession from which thine eyes may ne’er turn away.
And the voice of the Father whispereth in thy mind by night.
This fic is conceived as a draft for a gothic novel that will later be rewritten into my own original setting and prepared for print.
It’s inspired by the neo-gothic vibes of Lovecraft and Lukyanenko, and in terms of narration sometimes echoes Milton, Poe, Clark Ashton Smith, Anne Rice, and Clive Barker: pseudo-archaic language, body horror, psychological abuse, and religious motifs woven into a single story of dependence and cult.
This is not the final version of the translation: I’m still polishing the style, rhythm, and wording, and I continue to revise even the chapters that are already published.Series

Summary
“This has always been your destiny, my hatchling. You are the thread that sutures the wound.”
After the fall of the Netherbrain, Aodhlia and Astarion finally have their chance at happiness—or at least they would have, had the guilt of sacrificing seven thousand souls not driven Aodhlia to flee. For months she seeks solace at the bottom of a bottle and even in the arms of her closest friend, Gale. But fate draws her back to her beloved vampire lord, and she surrenders to the gift of immortality and the beautiful, bloody future waiting for them.
But eternity is not the only gift she awakens to. New, impossible powers emerge within her that defy any magic known in Toril. With the help of a pale elf, an ambitious wizard, and a strangely human-like crow, Aodhlia must unravel exactly who she is, and where these unexplainable powers truly come from. The truth she uncovers threatens to topple the hierarchy of the Nine Hells…and rip open the wounded boundary between worlds.

Summary
Almost seven years have passed since you and your band of misfits saved the ctiy of Baldur's Gate from the Elder Brain. Seven years since you last walked its cobbled streets. Seven years since you saw him, the man who once held your heart and then broke it.
Now, a long-standing mission pulls you back to the city's outskirts—one you’re ready to die for rather than let fail.
But did you truly believe your return would escape the notice of the Vampire Ascendant? Or that he wouldn’t sniff out what should remain hidden?

Summary
Shadowmagic coursed through his veins, and perhaps that was why he had been so foolishly drawn to the white-haired vampire spawn. He was, after all, only a few steps removed from undeath himself. He had understood the pale elf’s hungers. His fears. He had recognized himself too clearly in that desperate wish to never be afraid again. And when the moment came, the shadowsorcerer had helped the vampire spawn commit an unspeakable act; to ascend beyond fear entirely.
Ciaran learned too late what followed when fear was stripped away. Those who have nothing left to fear often find pleasure in becoming fear itself. When the Netherbrain fell, and smoke settled over Baldur’s Gate, Ciaran fled north to a quiet existence as a sheep farmer in the Dalelands.But now - almost eight years later - something is preying upon the shadow shepherd's flock.

Summary
Two hundred years ago to the day, Lyra had stood opposite Astarion in a temple of Ilmater and dedicated herself to him for all eternity. And maybe, despite the years they had spent apart, she had meant it after all. Maybe she would never belong to anyone else. Maybe she could come home again.
~~~
Aeterna Amantes, lovers forever… or so they thought. Two hundred years after the Battle for the Gate, two hundred years after Lyra joined Astarion in eternity as his Dark Consort, the couple finds themselves living separate lives. After many lifetimes together, building a coven and traveling the realm, they seem to have lost their way. It’s been six years since Lyra has returned to the Gate, until an invitation to her favorite spawn’s wedding means a trip home and, of course, seeing Astarion again.
Told through journal entries, memories, and alternating POV, follow our Vampire Ascendant and his Dark Consort as they navigate love, family, and falling in love again and again.
This is the sequel to What You Made Me to Be, the story of Lyra and Astarion defeating the Absolute and the year that followed, but can be enjoyed standalone as well!

Summary
"The shadowed sun shall wed broken dusk,
The Weaves shall fray, the gods shall rust.
Through strife and love, all realmspace to save—
The eclipse endures, though all else may fade.So sayeth the wise Alaundo."
---
First, there was Ves—a half-drow bard hopelessly in love with Gale Dekarios, the wizard from Waterdeep. Their bond, born of shared trials across the Sword Coast, was unbreakable. So deeply did Ves love Gale that he sacrificed everything, even his mortal life, to remain by his side.
Now, as Moonshadow, God of the Eclipse, he is Gale’s divine partner, yet feels like a shadow in the path of Gale’s relentless ambition. Ascension has become a burden, and Moonshadow longs for the simplicity of his mortal life—of simply being Ves, Gale’s lover, free of celestial duties.
A long overdue promise to revisit Faerûn stirs those old desires, making Moonshadow yearn for a life he can never reclaim.
NB: Chapters names marked with * have an optional, expanded NSFW version on my pseud (heartsong94).

Summary
[First Draft finished, Second draft actively in the works]
Ten years have passed since defeating the Elder Brain and so very much has changed.
For the past five of those ten years The Matron, a well known figure in Baldur's Gate even before the mentioning of parasites, has lived her retirement from adventuring and the orphanage she ran in near complete seclusion. Near complete, if not for the occasional visits from her lovers, Shadowheart and Halsin.
She has kept her new life as secret from all others as much as possible, even going to the extreme lengths of faking her own death so that no one would dare look for her. All this to escape her past lover, Astarion, The Vampire Ascendant.
But how is she to cope when during one of her nightly prayers, she is confronted with the possibility that he has found her?
Frightened and angry, she has to figure out how to navigate his threatening to her peace, or rather, solitude. Will she be able to move on and let go? Or will she lose herself and her sanity in the process?
