Summary
Ismark has never thought of himself as brave.
He knows how to hold a line, how to keep watch, how to endure a land that takes more than it gives. What he does not know (what he never expects) is how to love someone like Sen without losing himself entirely.
As Barovia tightens its grip and Strahd turns his attention toward what Ismark would give his life to protect, Ismark learns that love is not a weakness.
It is defiance.
A story about choosing each other in a world that punishes choice.

Summary
Otherwise Known As: Beating This Dead Horse for Closure
Otherwise Known As: Writing My Own Damn FanficSnippets of the misadventures of my first DnD game, because I fell in love with the characters and I'm gonna write a novel about it. Some things happened in-game, others I'm filling in after the game fell apart - it's all self indulgent. Enjoy!
Imrath and Wixen are an unlikely pair of friends, forced together by circumstance. Now they're stuck in Barovia under the thumb of a corrupted vampire lord, with a ramshackle family of people they've come to care about, and DAMN if it isn't hard to keep up the good humor when shit is fucked.

Ensnared within the Mists: A Curse of Strahd Campaign Retelling. by KillerfrostRomanoff

Summary
"Within Shadowfell there are these places. Attracted to the negative energy, I believe, they attach themselves to the realm. Surrounded by thick mists, they are near impenetrable through conventional means. They are called Domains of Dread. No one knows what takes place within them, though we are sure it is nothing pleasant. It is said that there are dark evils trapped within them." She took a deep breath. "There has only been one Domain anyone has ever got out of. It is the oldest Domain, and it is where all the stories have come from. One of its defining features that always gets repeated is the lack of sunlight. Can you feel it?" She asked the others. "How the light doesn't warm your skin? How the colour is just a shade or two off? This place is horrifying. No Deities can reach here, I can barely feel my Queen." Her eyes begin to water, and she resolutely wipes them dry before tears can form. "I used to remember the name of this place, though it is eluding me right now. That doesn't matter though, what matters is that we need to find a way out of here."

Summary
Something went wrong. In a twist of Fate—or perhaps meddling of some kind—the Sweethearts end up in a land never meant from them. And from there, they are left with only one path forward: survive.
-or-
I shove the Bitter Sweethearts into the hellscape that is Barovia, the land of Mists and Vampires. No Curse of Strahd knowledge is necessary, but Curse of Strahd and Bitter Sweethearts spoilers abound!

Life Among the Undead by AshSlays

Summary
A tie-in story for Into Unmapped Darkness, a Found Family fic set in a post-Strahd Barovia, where Doru and Ismark work together with a sunshiny cleric to turn Castle Ravenloft into a rehab center for the undead.
In which Doru copes with parental anxiety by becoming a bat.
Everyone turns at once to look upward. High-pitched squeaking draws Ismark’s attention to a black mass zooming around the dome.
Is that a—a bat?
Ismark’s stomach sinks. “Please tell me that’s not…”
The little projectile comes hurtling toward him. Ismark drops his books and throws his hands up. A gust of wind ruffles his hair as an oddly excitable chirp pierces his ear.
“Hells,” he grunts, righting himself. “What’s going on?”
Escher gives a dry chuckle before explaining, “Your dearly beloved said he wanted to be a bat.”

Summary
The devil Strahd has been slain, and the mists choking off Barovia have lifted, but all is not well…
Ismark Kolyanovich once dreamed of sunny days alongside his best friend, the preacher's boy, Doru. But since Doru was turned into a vampire spawn, he’s been confined to the church’s undercroft, where he's sentenced to a life in the dark. Seeking a cure, Ismark journeys to Castle Ravenloft to meet its new owner, only to discover an eccentric cleric with big plans to rebuild Barovia and make it a home for all things living and undead.
Doru pushes to very edge of his chains. He’s inches away from Ismark now, and Ismark can smell every day of imprisonment on him: his soiled clothes, his oily, matted hair, the mud crusted on his skin, the blood of vermin on his breath.
“Do it,” Doru begs. “Let me rest. For all the love you’ve ever held for me.”
Ismark holds the stake out, aiming its jagged toothy end at the center of Doru’s chest, right above where his cold, dead heart lies asleep behind a protruding rib cage.

Summary
His own grief did not help matters. If Ismark were in the Donavich’s position, if it were Ireena who had been transformed, would he feel the same? Could he really watch the light leave his sister’s eyes as he plunged a stake through her unbeating heart?
If not, then what right did he have to tear apart this father and son?
Then Ismark remembered that it was precisely because of vampires that his father and sister had been taken from him.
--Struggling under the weight of his burgomaster duties, Ismark Kolyanovich pays a visit to Father Donavich. What he finds in the chapel undercroft will change him forever.

Summary
"I am safe," he insists, sighing. "I'm home."
Ireena looks at him. He suddenly seems awfully naïve.
"No, Ismark, you are not safe," she says, as calmly as she can. "It doesn't matter where you are. You are wounded, and your wounds could open at any moment."
