Fortune and Favour

Hello folks, a new AU long fic for you.

Summary:

AU set in Luskan 1480DR. Rugan has assumed leadership over the Coin Spinners gang and taken the name Clearlight. When a Waterdhavian noble comes snooping around for Illuskan Netherese relics under the gang's headquarters Rugan steps up to put them in their place. What he instead finds is the chance at an amazing payday and an unexpected prize.

Notes:

This AU is straight out of the filthy mind of @fistfuloftarenths. She head canoned the idea of Rugan of Clearlight based off the screenshots of @captainsigge. Fistful also came up with a lot of the scene ideas, so I'm bordering on being her ghostwriter at this point. Also thank you to @dustdeepsea for helping me with the title and summary. Big shout out to all three for beta reading for me. These fics are pretty much written for the Zhentil Keep Perverts at this point.

I was an adventurer like you

Mhm you know what time it is? It's time for more of my random thoughts piled together into something I hope is coherent.

Today we are taking our lovely couple consisting of Simon and johnny and catapulting them into Faerun along with you.

More FR!Batman highlights:

  • Scarecrow's dad is part of the Bregan D'aerthe, jury's out if the guy knows (I don't even know who the guy is!).
  • At least two Gotham Rogues are menaces of Baldur's Gate, and it is the Shadow Druids' fault. Ivy is not one of them.
  • Mad Hatter 🤝 Baby Doll: Gnome Crimes
  • Like three months after former Flaming Fist and liked-okay bard Jack Napier disappeared, some random green-haired guy really down on the fey madness showed up and no one has figured out it's Jack Napier.
  • Maxie Zeus thinks he's Memnon's reincarnation, more at 11.
  • Calendar Man is a Clockwork Soul Sorcerer dedicated to doing the exact opposite of what he's expected to do, except when Clock King tells him to calm down.
  • Imagine being a drow from a crumbling city and getting resurrected by a random evil baelnorn and now you can't die. That's Grundy's story.
  • Turns out letting poor humans adopt an elf is a great way to radicalize that elf.
  • Don't make two separate alien species powered by the sun or I will make both Astral Elves for convenience.
  • Asmodeus got subbed in for Trigon, Raven decided making a deal with Baalzebul because "I hate him and you hate him let's hate him together" is a viable strategy. Asmodeus decided Baalzebul's whole "everyone that makes a deal with me meets a bad end" curse doesn't apply to Raven.
  • John Constantine also made a deal with Baalzebul, it was not as charmed and Baalzebul has been secretly extending his life and shifting the target on his curse to milk more work out of him. Personally, I think Constantine took the "warlocks are wizards with sugar daddies" joke a little too seriously.
  • I included Klarion, so we do have Teekl.
