Summary
Gale is utterly fit to burst with pride when his daughter Serendipity announces that she is capable of magic. Her version of magic, however, is a little different from his version of magic.
She is only three, after all.
A little slice of life post canon for nadasdirthalen for their Tav Levity and Gale, and their wee little trickster.

Cause I'm Just a Teenage Green-Hag, Baby by Defira for elinorbard

Summary
Ethel is feeling clucky — she's between daughters at the moment, the last few having foolishly gotten themselves offed by daring do-gooders. What is a hag without her coven? Well, traditionally, far less stressed and aggravated, but it's the principle of the thing! Baldur's Gate is plump with fat, nosy little children who would make fine little hags, and so she sets up her nest.
She wasn't expecting a bloody cuckoo to come walking straight in without knocking.

Summary
It's winter in Waterdeep, and the holidays are coming thick and fast. Moonfest, Simril, Wintershield, Midwinter — there's a festival for everyone in the City of Wonders, it would seem. But most importantly, it's the first winter for the newly married Mr. and Mrs. Ulutar-Dekarios of Waterdeep, and Gale has planned for some festive cheer.
He just forgot to tell Ryme'dra about his plans.

Copper. Silver. Gold. The currency of men and mortals.
Souls. The currency of gods.

Summary
For many decades, Rhyme's life hasn't exactly been a stroll in the park. After escaping her tormentors, defeating the Netherbrain, and finally regaining her body half a year later, she is now happily married to Gale and enjoying the quiet, almost boring days of domesticity. Life is better than it has ever been.
So what if the little magic home improvements that Gale has installed start failing one by one? That's nothing to be upset or worried about… right?

The Black Hand of Bane by aqeldroma
Fandom Baldur's Gate (Video Games), Forgotten Realms (Roleplaying Game), The Legend of Drizzt Series - R. A. Salvatore
15 Jun 2026
Summary
Wherein the Dark Urge discovers the truth behind her memory loss, goes on a journey of self discovery that ends up being more of a trail of corpses, and decides to take over the world.
Everything can be read as a standalone, and everything is in chronological order.
Where to start reading is up to you:
1: Pre-canon Dark Urge. One-shots prior to the longfics are pre-tadpole and pre-canon stories. Expect the usual atrocities.2: Ruin's tale: The two longfics are an arc with a 1st POV of post-tadpole Dark Urge. Begin with Under the Black Hand, which is an Act 3 revision (starts off where you think, does not end where you think) and is the only story during the events of the game. Closing the Fist picks up one month post-canon (how actually will you take over the world? it's complicated).
3: Gortash's tale: POV third, picking up on trauma from House of Hope and continues the post-canon journey, starts with Down Comes the Claw.
4: Multi-POV (Minthara/Ruin/others): Alternating POV 1st and third, The Grip of Steel starts 1 year post-game. This longfic will bring this tale to its finale.

Saying Something Stupid Like I Love You by flamemittens for Defira
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
30 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
A little way ahead, she can see Gale already waiting; he’s half-leaning, half-sat against a low wall, leather satchel at his side, an open book in hand. She feels it, then, the slow-spreading bloom of warmth in her chest at the sight of him.
She thinks of slowing her pace. An attempt to suspend or hold back the march of time as she indulges in a brief moment of observation to remind herself, once again, that this is real, he’s real—but she calls out to him before she can stop herself.
A little slice of post-canon life in Waterdeep for Gale and Rhyme.

Summary
What if the Dark Urge didn't have to kill Gortash or side with him? What if she wanted answers about her past so badly she spared him? What if the Dark Urge just couldn't bring herself to kill Bane's Chosen?
But really, does Gortash have to die in every single ending?
