Rune and Ruin by LeonaPage
61 parts Ongoing Mature
To bait a falcon, a very small bird is fitted with ball weights attached to a string held by the falconer. When the raptor attacks, the rolling dive will tangle around the legs of both birds, thus ensuring the falcon cannot fly away. Further training involves both the string and treats, often meat from the same small birds, encouraging the predator to return to its handler. Centuries of war between the gods have caused an imbalance in the mortal world. Stark lines of division have resulted in three species, all vying for survival against an increasingly harsh world; The Tasuri, demon-shifters with noble houses stretching back before the founding of cities, shapeshifters in their clans and dens, and the Acera, those without fang, claw, wing, or hoof. The Tasuri city of Rune has never been more powerful, or more desperate. A plague has hit, a disease of infertility that is decimating the population of the purebloods and shifters. The Tasuri and shapeshifters turn their attention to the small, remote villages and towns of the Acera. Defenseless, there is nothing to stop the two powerful groups from enslaving the Acera and destroying the balance of their world beyond recognition. The ruin of the Acera is underway when the Tasuri House of Fyriin births a Warlord. The young warrior, Falx, takes his army of demons into the hills. There, he is gifted a young Acera slave as tribute. Thania has every reason to hate him, but she bears more weight on her slight shoulders than Falx could possibly know. What happens to the world when you take the bird away from her falcon? Warning: This is a historical fantasy, paranormal romance. It will have explicit scenes, including scenes of nonconsent. This world is brutal and harsh. Please take care before reading!

What was once a clear path in Azriel's life soon becomes a jumbled mess. His life is turned upside down and he never expected himself here with Eris Vanserra. If you would like to read the story to where it is today, you can find it on AO3 where I prioritize its posts. Thank you.
As the Ash Settles by mscoraziph
40 parts Complete Mature
As the Ash Settles, is my take on what happens to the group of companions after saving Baldur's Gate. As the ash settles and the drinks are pouring a familiar sensation washes over our Tav, the very same one that compelled her to attack poor Alfira in her slumber, perhaps defeating her sister was not just denying her father but in fact taking back her rightful spot as leader of the Bhaalspawn, perhaps Withers was indeed wrong. Questions left unanswered while still having to find a special artifact for Astarion to walk and in the sun and still beating heart to fear Karlach. Rated M for Mature. Will include adult behaviors, some violence and well just stuff from the game itself. Don't worry though not a finger will be laid on the goodest boy Scratch. "*" will mark homebrewed items with their links.

Shapeless Hero by Lefthills
58 parts Ongoing Mature
Identity crisis? What's that? ---- An earthling's soul was born into an incompatible, human body. Their muscles misbehaved, their skin and body felt like a rigid shell, and their weak constitution left little options for any activities outside of paperwork, books and anything on a screen at home. Then the divine beings tried to correct the mistake and removed the mismatched soul from its unfitting body, slinging it to a distant world with a new body to control. The human flesh-prison replaced with the unlimited options of a shapeshifter, the soul has now a magic-filled world to explore. Grow fur for a mountain hike, grow gills and fins for a deep dive. It's time to catch up on decades worth of missed travels and activities. But who wants to deal with the flesh-craving predators called shapeshifters? Another global purge could start, if the freshly transferred soul shows its abilities too much. ---- The rankings are a mystery to me - especially after this story made it to No. 1 under the shapeshifter tag (and others). Welcome to fantasy amateur hours! This is my first time writing that kind of novel. Hopefully there's a bit of improvement along the way. Feel free to tell me what works or not! Occasionally drowning in irl-work, so chapters will be published semi-regularly, whenever I find some time to write. (Usually updated at least once per week.)

Arknights: A Messenger's Journey (A Provence x Tacet sequel novel) by Tarsanov95
47 parts Complete Mature
The last human of Terra awoke into a terrible future, forced to confront the horrors of his past. Overcoming them with the help of a most unexpected creature. But the grim reality of a dying Terra is pressing upon all, including Tacet. The oceans darken. Deeply buried calamities start to awaken. The survivors edge ever closer to the fires of self annihilation, eager to repeat Humanity's downfall. While an already poisoned world toils endlessly to eradicate them. In the frozen north a once confined malevolence was given liberty once more. With it a tide was rising, promising to engulf all in its wake. Hidden as Terra still was from the insidious gaze of a greater malevolence it nevertheless threatened to collapse as its very reality suffered. As he regained his humanity he realised he had that many more challenges to overcome for the one he truly cherished. But fate has not yet relented in the dark plots thrown in his path. And Death itself has not ceased in its intent to end his prolonged life and take his soul. Hope however, was rekindled. And the one wolf who took claim of the last Terran human will not let him face that darkness alone no more. Cover image has been provided as well as all rights to it go to the artist ''@tomyy_Lockeded /トミィ'' This sequel expands the story of Provence and Tacet, before and after they became together. It is not necessary to read the prequel to understand this sequel, but it will greatly enhance your experience if the reader has knowledge of their first novel ''Arknights: A Messenger's Healing''. The story contains erotica chapters. Understanding of story linearity: Lost Chapter 1-5: Pre Provence/Tacet relationship Lost Chapter 6: Post relationship Chapter 7-24: Post relationship. Before confirmation of immunity transfer and news of expecting children Chapter 25-46: Post relationship. And after news of expecting children
