Summary
"Standing on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, looking up at the night sky, Astarion has to concede that he definitely isn‘t on Toril anymore.
Last he heard, his world doesn‘t have a vaguely unsettling-looking red moon riding the coattails of the silvery regular one that is drifting above the clouds with an air of serenity."
Or: The continuation from From The Wreckage, wherein a slightly diminished group of formerly tadpoled fools goes on a wild goose chase trying to help a friend from being burnt up by her own heart.
At least, that's how it starts.
Some pasts just can't stay dead.

Summary
"Nautiloid abductions are supposed to be a fucking hoax, an urban myth, a conspiracy theory bandied about by people in possession of slightly less than the optimal number of marbles. Not actual reality, and certainly not something that happens to circus barkers on the road to the idyllic little town of Trostenwald."
Or: The one where the nautiloid made a detour and picked up an additional genderfluid tiefling.
Or: The one where Molly gets to get on the nerves of foes, fiends, and friends in Faerûn. (In particular, one elven vampire spawn.)
Or: The Mollystarion/Vampire Hunter (I made the ship, I get to name it) fic my brain wouldn't shut up about and now it's everyone's problem.

Summary
Wyll Ravengard is one exhausted grad student, needing some quick cash in the midst of a busy semester. Luckily for him, Professor Szarr has an easy task at hand—to watch over his beloved husband Astarion for the weekend, while Cazador flies off for a conference.
See, Astarion is ill. Very ill.
Or...is he?
~*~
"Uh," Wyll stalls. "I mean...thank you, sir, for trusting me with this. But I don't really have any experience with nursing, or any caregiving really—wouldn't it be better to hire a day nurse, or—"
"Astarion is not just sick in body," Szarr interrupts. "I'm afraid he's also quite sick in the mind. And you understand the mind, Wyll. You understand it better than many of the students I've seen over my years here. So please, tell me. Are you willing to do this?"

Summary
Lucien is defeated, Mollymauk gets a second chance and (gradually) his memories back. It's not easy to find yourself having missed so much. Being surrounded by the people who love you helps.
I'm bad at summaries, but basically, as much as I respect Tal's decisions about his characters, I think it would make for a more interesting story in terms of identity, love and all kinds of nuanced relationship beats if Kingsley didn't pop up. This is an attempt at it.

1. The Grand Duke
2. Unaware he's a vampire
