Journal of Lilith—Criminal wizard, High elf. by Of_a_Fallen_Realm
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

Tags
Summary
This is a Character Journal of a Tav, called Lilith, discovering the hero's quest that is Baldur's Gate 3.
Note by player:
I love D&D. Most of my characters have journals. So I wrote one for the video game. It helps me figure out motivation decisions. What started out notes on clues and quests, very quickly became an actual character journal as the story progressed. Some of it is creative license to make Lilith's story more interesting.Warning: This Journal is FULL of spoilers.
I managed to avoid most spoilers on my first play though. Everything in this was me guessing or the character finding out. However, if you haven't played yet and want to. This Journal has many, many spoilers.- Language:

Summary
Celebrían sails to Valinor and though the air is like silver she finds she is bare and fearful; grasped by a world she has only heard of in whispers and her mother's history tales, she spends an absorbing amount of time cracking open the layer of mystery that lays upon the land of the undying.

Or, Celebrían goes full detective as a post-trauma healing hobby.

Summary
On the morning of the twenty-sixth of February in the year ninety-one of the Fourth Age, Dwalin, Son of Fundin, died.
On the evening of the twenty sixth of April in the year two thousand nine hundred and forty-one of the Third Age, it became quickly apparent that death was only a minor inconvenience.
Dwalin has another plan this time around. One that involves returning a certain piece of evil jewellery directly to sender before Sauron gains a foothold on Middle Earth. Maybe it’ll save a few people he cares about. Maybe he’ll get a little longer with his husband.
And maybe, just maybe, he’s not the only one doing this a second time over.
Split POV, plenty of Nwalin, Gigolas and Bagginshield.

Summary
"Very few at the funeral understood any of that. To the mourners, it looked only as though I forgave Bishop Fingolfin in turn, and thus reassured them that the greatest of wounds to the heart could be retrospectively pardoned. Up until that point, I spoke only of his kindness, and so reaffirmed the foundational dishonesty so many of us in that room had built our lives around: that the father was ever waiting at the gate. That we all need the foundations of lighthouses gently gored into our hearts, for how else could we get to the gate? Without such incisions, how could we wayward sons navigate the remarkable wilderness of life? What more direction do we need, than the father’s arms opened wide? Who was Fingon now without the lighthouse? A man lost. A man free. And even so, a man bereaved."
_____________
April, 1972: unwittingly assisted by his favourite cousin Finarfin and long-time lover Maedhros, local dance-master Fingon drops a bombshell at his father’s funeral that leads to the filling-in of an empty grave. A sequel to The Admiral's Folly, set in the Prayers to Broken Stone AU but can be read standalone.Series
