Summary
Ruin and Minthara’s long-planned invasion of Menzoberranzan has been interrupted with news from the stars: a battered and broken Lae’zel has arrived with a dire warning: 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? Or will a vengeful Elminster finally topple their reign?
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.

Heir to Ruin by MurderElfFancier (captainecchi)

Summary
Fifteen years after the Rage of Demons, Mavash and Jorlan are yanked out of their happily-ever-after when their oldest daughter Si’Nethraa is marked by Vecna. With their old friend Lux, and the heroes of Elturel, they must once again take up adventuring to save their daughter’s life -- and keep a certain god of secrets from wrecking havoc on the multiverse.
-
This is a campaign novelization of Vecna: Eve of Ruin, with characters drawn from Bright Future (my campaign novelization of the latter half of Out of Abyss), plus characters from the same DM’s Descent into Avernus game. It should be welcoming to both readers and non-readers of Bright Future (and light on the spoilers), especially if you dig romance, family drama, sad drow males, and intense conversations.
--
New chapter: The face of Vecna. The same thing that burned into his daughter like a brand. Rage struggled against Jorlan’s careful mask of control. The exploration of the maze-like Hallix Mausoleum leads Mavash and her companions to the final two captives of the cult of Vecna. But what have the cultists been up to in the meantime?

Well At Least I’m a Magic Pirate Now: Internship by Jerynboe

Summary
I must have gone just a little bit too hard last night, because I woke up in the hold of a pirate ship. My mouth tastes like shit, words are crawling across my vision telling me to do things, and I have to join a pirate crew or die. I like to look at the bright side of things: hot girls, magic powers, and a HuD that promises rewards if I play along.
I could complain, but hey, at least I’m a magic pirate now.Makes use of the Skulls and Shackles adventure path for its bones, but like any DM I take massive sweeping liberties. Multiple 3rd party sources used, most prominently spheres of power and Pact Magic

Summary
Gale is a former wizard prodigy searching for the perfect place to die. Simultaneously arrogant and emotionally isolated, he finds himself cursed and infected, left bloodied and penniless on the edge of nowhere. His unlikely salvation is a group of raiders: drow from Menzoberranzan with little use for maimed men or mages. Resigned to his grim fate, he's surprised to find himself spared once more on his arrival to the Underdark— this time by Minthara, a woman as clever as she is cruel, as she seeks a servant for her own mysterious ends in the City of Spiders and beyond.
An alternate universe where Gale is captured post-tadpoling, Minthara isn't a leader in the Absolute's army, but the plot of the game is still (mostly) in tact.
This story is a tragedy. Mind the tags.

Starting Over (The To-Do List) by noctuus

Summary
Khal'roth and Rizzyn broke up 65 years ago. Riz never got over him. Khal still has feelings for Riz, but needs Riz to get his shit together first. Here's his stupid to-do list. A sort of character study on the things that have shaped Riz the most and how those things have followed him.
See chapter CWs for specific trigger warnings. This was largely written for my entertainment but I might as well not let it sit in my twine. This takes place from Riz's perspective; the "you" in this is Riz. Original format of this was a text adventure type thing; the [spaces in brackets] denotes where you'd click to flip to the next page if you were playing in the original format. It looks silly but it's the best way to port this to plain text. Each item on the list will be a chapter. I am learning how to use this website be kind to me. Carrion, Nal'zt and Feinthel belong to my bf but other than that those are all me ocs. yay

Summary
The Champion of Ravens is special. He always has been. He is what is known as Fate Touched. He can reach out and tug on the Threads of Fate around him, and alter Fate itself. This is why he was always destined to become his Matron's Champion. But even he can only do so much when a Thread is out of his reach.
Still on the hunt for Percival de Rolo, Vox Machina have no idea that his Thread may be beyond the pull of even Vax'ildan, now.

Sylas is his Master, and Percy is Lord Briarwood's Fount, and he is Bound to him, with his very life. A part of him hates this. But so much more of him revels in the closeness of their Bond. He delights in the empathic link they share, the telepathic words they speak to each other, and comfort he finds in physical closeness. Sylas has spent the last two months wearing down his mind and spirit; this Bond has worn down his heart.
Percival de Rolo is Sylas Briarwood's White Falcon. He has his loyalty. And maybe his heart...
