    Summary

    What if the person who helped make Astarion into an at least semi-functional person was just suddenly... gone? What would he do then?

    This is a post-canon exploration of just that!

    It starts off not that long after the victory over the brain, sadly Karlach flipped a soul coin and decided to burn up instead of going on a romantic Avernus trip with Astarion, so now he's trying to figure out how to be a person all on his own.

    Shit.

    What will Astarion (and I guess the other less important people) left behind do now?

    Especially when events conspire to force Astarion to re-examine his feelings about his not-siblings under Cazador and to stop pulling away from his traveling companions. They are only being nice to him because that is what she would want... right?

    AKA We see how Astarion becomes the spawn you can meet at the epilogue party, if you did not romance him. Also he gets forced to admit he has FRIENDS. (Eventually.)

    You can see the tags, he's not really on his own. This is a good thing, despite how much he whines about it.

    Summary

    A party like this one is bound to result in some interesting conversations.

    ~
    A series of drabbles originally written for Fictober 2023 (and then some) with the banter, bonding, and interactions among the camp that I desperately wish were in the game.

    Summary

    Karlach wants to hear their voices, more than anything. She doesn’t want the last thing she hears to be the sounds of the engine coming apart at the seams, the torturous grinding echoing from within as it continues to sputter in its fruitless endeavour to stabilize. She doesn’t want the last thing she sees to be only the blurred, twisted faces of the people that she loves, everything else lost to the ripping pain radiating through her skull. She wants to feel like she’s lived forever and a day after seeing of hundreds of new dawns, years. To know nothing but the warm embrace of a full life lived of love and happy memories, those blissful pictures caressing an old body into her last moments, surrounded by people that adore her. It feels like she’s barely touched the edges of what the world - life has to offer her.

    And it was already at its end.

    AKA: Karlach struggles with the possibility of a return to Avernus to escape her fiery end. What if there were more of her new family willing to put their necks on the line for her? (Think of the free snacks!)

    Summary

    Karlach has a small mystery on her hands. Someone's been sneaking into her tent at night.
    ... alright, that sounds bad. Someone in her troop, who isn't doing any harm, is sneaking into her tent for apparently one reason: to throw her stuffed bear at the wall.

    Summary

    Cute Aylin + Isobel tickle porn because it makes me happy.

    Isobel will lee and Aylin will ler, but I’ll do some interesting things with power and domination from chapter to chapter

    'Story' will kind of follow the game's timeline out of Act 2 and into Act 3.
    Chapter 1 is what happens immediately after you greet A + I in the Moonrise Towers main floor area.
    Chapter 2 will take place the night you camp in Wyrm's lookout, before, during, and after the astral prism shenanigans.
    Chapter 3 takes place sometime in Act 3, shortly after you get my favorite bit of banter between Shart and Karlach about going shopping in the lower city together.
    Chapter 4 will take place only a few nights later, on the Elfsong roof, and Lakrissa and Alfira will join us this time.
    Chapter 5 takes place at Elfsong as well, though this time in the basement only an hour or two after Aradin gets demolished by the party.

    Summary

    "Karlach's usual smile she wears has truly returned, the kind that shines so brightly it reaches the innermost corners of her soul. It's a smile that burns hotter than the engine in her chest ever could, a reminder to all that are fortunate enough to know her that she is so much more than the shadow of an hourglass glued to a table."

    aka: Karlach wakes during the night to talk with her lover about a dream she has that she doesn't know if she will ever see - and tries to believe there is still a chance her sunset isn't as soon as it may seem.

    Summary

    “I’m just so damn happy! We are finally going to fix up my heart and I can go home.” Suddenly she stood, pacing quickly around their small space. “We can go home.” She glanced back at Tav with such adoration that Tav nearly swooned. “We can leave this awful place and I can tell Zariel to fuck right off.” There was a manic, excited undercurrent to her voice and she got louder as she continued.

    “We are going home!” She shouted, raising up clenched fists in victory. The statement echoed off the rock walls surrounding them and made it seem like the universe was celebrating too.

    “Of all things, I think this definitely warrants a drink, don’t you?” Tav laughed and a grin spread across Karlach’s face.

    “Fuck yes.”

    Journeying to Avernus isn't how Tav expected to settle down after saving Baldur’s Gate, but she would do anything for the tiefling who stole her heart. She didn't expect to find hope in the hells either but the gods clearly had different plans. Following Tav and Karlach post game in Avernus. Spoilers abound.

    Summary

    Set during Act 2. Karlach needs help fixing her teddy bear and wants to air some grievances about Astarion's deal with Raphael.
    ---
    Maybe she understands, he thinks. Maybe he can trust someone else with this. The thin weight of his shirt on his back feels heavier knowing that it and one word are all that stands between him and naked vulnerability. He could just say yes; he could let her look, close himself off to the fear and let himself be lulled by whatever altruistic reasons she claims. But doubt whispers from the back of his mind: she's backed into a corner just like him, if not moreso, and that makes her dangerous. They both want to live, and they're clawing at scraps with all they've got. If she needs his help someday, she'll demand it of him in return. At least the terms of Raphael's deal will be predictable. The cambion’s words echo in his mind: What's better than a devil you don't know? A devil you do.

    Summary

    He can't remember a time in his undead life that people showed real love to the vampire. The last two hundred years of his life have been riddled with suffering and torment. But you! You have not stopped showering him in love and respect. He craves it now, craves your love and attention. He can't help but want to always be near you. He can't help but feel jealous of Halsin. He watches you laughing with the gargantuan elf as you pet Scratch, and bristles. He turns and walks towards his tent, upset. How could he compete with someone who could walk in the sun? Someone who can love freely, and so openly? He was tired. 200 years of living in the shadows, only to find freedom and then once again not feel good enough. His feelings are brewing up a storm of conflict in his head. You were useful to him, his ticket to eternal freedom, but furthermore you were important to him. You made him feel things he hasn't felt in a long time; if he was honest with himself, he doesn't remember the last time he felt such adoration for someone else. He hides in his tent for the majority of the night, brooding.

    Summary

    Rosalind (our tiefling flavoured Tav for the evening) decided that the blessing of a goddess was worth a little pain and the effort of hamming up her screams and thought nothing else of it. But the three women she was travelling with all had to grapple with the same, burning question:

    "Oh shit, am I into this?"
