Summary
When Sera first met Astarion, he tried to kill her, and she took that personally. It’s been a hate/hate relationship ever since. Nonetheless, they are allies by association of the mind flayer's tadpoles. On their way to finding a cure, maybe the noble halfling and the charlatan vampire will find out they have more in common than just being two lovable Baldurian rogues. However, Sera will never not remind Astarion that Shadowheart is the prettiest person in camp. (Enemies to ???)

Summary
It's been a year since they defeated the Absolute, and Ascended Astarion has politely invited (kidnapped) Sera (halfling rogue Tav) for dinner.
However, a greater threat is coming for Baldur's Gate, one that Sera and the party will need help from the Vampire Ascendant specifically.
Can the former friends become allies again to fight for the greater good? Or is Astarion too far gone to care?
And just how far will Astarion go to get the one thing left he can't have?(Do not repost/ no 3rd party consent)

A re-write of twilight except I give Bella swan actually good character traits instead of having her bite her lip every three seconds.
There will be confrontation, and it will be juicy.

Summary
“People like us,” Logan had once remarked to Virgil. “Are statistical anomalies.”
(Almost) Everyone in the world has powers. As for those who don’t, well, they’re such a small part of the population - only 0.04% - why would anyone care about them?
Ever since he realized what people mean when they call him Powerless, Virgil Sanders has tried to fight back against the system that oppresses people like him, Patton, and Logan. When Patton’s bakery is targeted in a hate crime, he finally snaps. With the help of a mysterious sponsor, Virgil becomes a villain, ready to remake a broken society. The only thing standing in his way is the world’s most Powerful (and infuriatingly charming) superhero: The Prince, who is hiding the fact that his gilded life isn’t as perfect as it may seem.

Bookmarker's Notes
I started writing fan fic seriously because of this story.

Summary
It had been a century since Selphie Xilsatra had stepped foot in Baldur's Gate. The elven ranger did spend a century keeping herself from returning to this place. But now, she was back to see much of the city changed, while remaining the same. One of the things to change was that Astarion Ancunín was a Lord, having raised his former master's palace and building himself a new one. It looked nothing like Cazador's, which was the point, but it still remained the final resting place for many who were unfortunate enough to be lured there.
And tonight, he would be hosting a Masquerade Ball in celebration of 100 years of relative peace. A hundred years since they defeated the Elder Brain - The Absolute - and restored peace in Baldur's Gate. Since Selphie left Astarion's side. Astarion never left Baldur's Gate to look for her, not since she refused to become his spawn - his consort - after he had ascended. She had wished desperately she was able to convince him not to continue the rite. Even from her young age, she knew that was a life Astarion did not deserve. But he had a choice between power and freedom.
And now, he was the most powerful vampire in all of Faerun.

Summary
In the final moments, when it looks like they're about to achieve the impossible, like they might all make it through this insane adventure they've been flung on, they are betrayed. Tav takes the Elder Brain for themself, seizes their companions minds for themself, and becomes the Absolute.
But they forgot just who was wearing which magical item. The Ring of Mind Shielding shines brightly on Gale of Waterdeep's finger, burning itself out against such overwhelming will. That doesn't matter though. What matters is what a determined wizard can do with six seconds, and everything hanging in the balance.
The orb detonates. The Absolute is destroyed, no matter who was puppetting it. The world turns on, saved.
And Gale does not cease to be.
Thrown back to the moment he first absorbed a shard of Netherese weave, he has two years to save the world, as well as everyone he's come to care about, from Bhaal's favourite child and their illithid plot. This time he won't make the mistake of seeing a friend in a Bhaalspawn, or let Astarion turn himself into someone he's not. Sure, he might not survive the experience, but that's what happens when your only weapon is a self destruct button.
