Fanfic Master Post
I recently realized I actually have enough fics to make one of these! YIPPIE.
I'm spacesunderstairs (on AO3). I've been writing for Baldur's Gate 3 and the Forgotten Realms for the last couple years. I work in a variety of genres and ships, though I'm partial to Tav/Astarion and Gale/Minthara (along with a smattering of genfic). I also enjoy high fantasy, character studies, and a strong sense of atmosphere: I strive to balance all three in the stuff I write.
Here's a few of the fics I've written:
Fics marked with a * are part of the same continuity and feature my OC, Halinae in some way. ________________
LONGFICS
*Under the Sussur Tree - Complete!
Fandom: Baldur's Gate 3
Rated: M
Characters and relationships: Original characters, Astarion/Tav, all of Team Tadpole
Warnings: Child loss, mild sexual content, some violence.
Link: On AO3
Summary:
In a sleepy village on the Savage Frontier, a timid drow woman spends her days teaching a farmer's son how to play the flute. But when a nautiloid appears in the sky, the quiet life she's built for herself is thrown into chaos. Alone and infected with a mindflayer parasite, she's determined to find her student before she turns: even if that means forging new alliances with the strange group of survivors she finds along the way. Adventure, drama and slow burn romance that (loosely!) follows the events of Act 1 of Baldur's Gate 3.

Chosen - Ongoing
Fandom: Baldur's Gate 3
Rated: E
Characters and relationships: Minthara Baenre/Gale, Original Characters, Orin the Red, Elminster
Warnings: Character death, drow-typical misandry and slavery, extremely dubious consent.
Link: On AO3
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 Underdarkā 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.
