Summary
“Name’s Beauregard,” the paladin replied with a nod. She lowered her hands and met the barmaid’s gaze with a warm smile of amusement. “And I can’t lie, I’ve been hankerin’ for a warm belly full of mead—blackberry or otherwise.”
“Aye, then let me pour you a heavy glass,” the barmaid chuckled, doing just that. Beau took the tankard with a grateful nod. She took a long, slow swig, savoring the honey sweet taste, tempered with the perfect bit of tartness from the berries.
“And what’s your name?” she asked after a moment, her eyes never leaving the woman’s face.
“Brandi—yes, like the liquor,” the barmaid replied, with a wink.
Beau couldn’t help but think she’d love a tankard of Brandi.

Summary
The law of the Dawnstriders dictated that a hunter turned was to strike themselves down, to fall upon their own blade before they could truly become monsters themselves. In this, Beauregard had failed. In this, she had broken her Oath. But with the picture of her beautiful wife and her beloved son burning in her mind, she could not pierce the dagger through her own heart.
Now, as the full moon hung in the sky like some mockery, she wished more than anything that she had been able to follow through.

Summary
The events that occurred before the curse began, leading up to the Curse of Strahd. In castle Ravenloft, Strahd Von Zarovich, his long betrothed Patrina, his younger brother and Tatyana live in Castle Ravenloft. Following Queen Ravenovia's death, the four of them are picking up the pieces and planning for the wedding of Sergei and Tatyana. While Sergei, Patrina and Tayana make the best of their days. Desire and darkness dwells deep within the Count. Tragedy will ensue and the Curse shall begin.
Note: This is canon-divergent technically since this is an alternated version of the story that we use when playing the campaign. It develops Patrina, Sergei and Tatyana more.

Summary
Strahd von Zarovich’s life story, starting from his birth, exploring the events and people that shaped him from innocent infant to one of DnD’s most iconic villains. I plan to keep this consistent with both "I, Strahd" and the 5e module, mixed with the fan lore I'm running in my game (mainly the Fanes). This will be more or less like a complete Tome of Strahd.
Please see the tags for any trigger warnings, I will update the tags as the tale unfolds.

Summary
"Victor stared at him in… was that disbelief? “Let me ask you one more time, Erevan Naïlo. Why the fuck are you knocking on my door?”
So Erevan looked Victor up and down, starting at his black hair that hung, limply, from his gaunt face and ending at his comfortable but stained shoes. This was the face of a man who was miserable, absolutely and completely. So he said the only thing that made sense.
“I’m here to marry you.”"
In which a party of adventurers in Barovia decide to have one of their own marry Victor, with the plan of getting close enough to kill him for what he did to Stella. It... doesn't quite work out the way they hoped (Erevan's not complaining, though).

Summary
The devil Strahd has been slain, and the mists choking off Barovia have lifted, but all is not well…
Ismark Kolyanovich once dreamed of sunny days alongside his best friend, the preacher's boy, Doru. But since Doru was turned into a vampire spawn, he’s been confined to the church’s undercroft, where he's sentenced to a life in the dark. Seeking a cure, Ismark journeys to Castle Ravenloft to meet its new owner, only to discover an eccentric cleric with big plans to rebuild Barovia and make it a home for all things living and undead.
Doru pushes to very edge of his chains. He’s inches away from Ismark now, and Ismark can smell every day of imprisonment on him: his soiled clothes, his oily, matted hair, the mud crusted on his skin, the blood of vermin on his breath.
“Do it,” Doru begs. “Let me rest. For all the love you’ve ever held for me.”
Ismark holds the stake out, aiming its jagged toothy end at the center of Doru’s chest, right above where his cold, dead heart lies asleep behind a protruding rib cage.

(in the valley where you last saw me)
—Ichor knows running.
They’d known running when they’d first found those direwolves.
They’d known running when her sister had pushed them ahead, telling her to keep going, don’t listen, just go.
They’d known running when she’d pushed them away.
They’d known running when he’d—
They’d known running when they finally decided to leave him behind.
And they know running now, frantically needing to leave the party, to get away, because they’d known this would happen, they’d known the others would ask questions, would push for answers, answers they weren’t ready to give, weren’t ready to—
—
Or, Ichor runs away. Alyyra's there to pick up the pieces they're so reluctant to leave behind.Series
