Summary
Astarion thinks his luck has turned after the nautiloid crash thanks to a solemn drow with a war hammer and a plan. Desperate to never be weak or enslaved again, he tries to secure his place at her side while the dark reaches for them both.
My first published fic! A writing exercise inspired by my (named) Tav/DND character, and lots of love for drow and the Underdark. Multiple POVs, flawed characters, lots of broody underelves and fun banter breaks.
I usually write about 2 chapters ahead of what I post, so will be regularly updating.
---Bards liked to sing of passion as being unruly and all-consuming. In his experience, even passion could be managed, ordered, rehearsed.
No - a delicate touch was key. A doublet cut to flatter, a corner table draped in shadow, a beckoning smile - and the saddest, loneliest, and loveliest denizens of Baldur's Gate to choose from. Cazador had a type.
With each passing day, with each new revelation about their predicament, his desperation was growing to secure his place at her side. To make himself so crucial, that she would keep him close, war hammer raised and ready in the direction of his foes. In the direction of Cazador.

Summary
Karlach's been doing great since becoming one of the new heroes of Baldur's Gate, thanks. Sure, it's been, uh, literal Hell living in Avernus, but hey, at least this time it's of her own volition! And she's SO close to finding a way to resolve that little issue with her Infernal Engine for a heart.
But, you know what she didn't anticipate? The fucking horse-drawn carriage that bowled her over and sent her to gods-damned high school.
or
The author looked at Twisted Wonderland and thought 'yeah, this is great, but there's not enough Karlach in it.' You know, like a normal, well-adjusted person does.
Knowledge of both Twisted-Wonderland and Baldur's Gate 3 recommended for best reading experience.

Summary
Rensaire is a runaway bard and gunslinger, drifting across the western lands of Faerûn with only fragments of his past and the songs of the road to guide him. Since the Nautiloid, his memories are scattered, selective—he knows only the freedom of travel, the thrill of performance, and the shadow of his own elusiveness. Wherever he goes, he can’t shake the feeling of being subtly out of place, the curious—or sometimes wary—glances of strangers, and the unsettling stare of a certain vampire who seems to recognize something he doesn’t.
Something whispers at the edges of his consciousness, a premonition not of his own danger, but of a storm coming for those around him. As he navigates friendship, loyalty, and the intoxicating call of adventure, Rensaire begins to wonder: did he leave a mistake behind, or is the world itself conspiring to remind him that some memories refuse to stay buried?
(Note: Canon Timeline has been adjusted a wee bit to make everything flow better. Trust me, I did way too much math for this. It exhausted me. Read it :3)

Summary
Mizora raises one sculpted eyebrow. “Even I don’t have power over life and death, sweet thing.”
“Not that,” Astarion snaps, fumbling in his pack. “Whatever you’ve done to the resurrection magic. Blocked it, or—undo that.”
The devil taps a finger to her lips, thoughtful. “My Wyll and I made a deal, little spawn. I can’t just ‘undo it.’ Not without something valuable in exchange.”
“Fine.” He grimaces, potion bottles and miscellaneous paraphernalia clinking against his palm—until finally, his hand closes on the familiar round of a scroll case. “You deal in souls. Take mine.”
To undo a mistake that wasn't his to make, Astarion strikes a deal. But the world is still ending, and Wyll isn’t so quick to see salvation in a devil’s snare.

Summary
Mars loses all concept of where he is. His head aches and his vision ebbs and flows shades of red with each step. His ears ring with the solitude of night, his breaths waver, his bones creak and his muscles tense. Every second is an eternity, and yet he must persevere. He must pursue. And if this is what it takes to rid these people of a monster, he must kill.
Mars, an esteemed monster hunter up and down the Sword Coast, never met a vampire in the flesh before he went to Baldur's Gate. Now that he has, something dark begins to stir deep inside him.

Summary
“I think I will always love you,”
Shadowheart scoffed as she heard the words come out of Vaelyn’s mouth. “A month ago, you didn’t even know what love was. And now—”
“—And now I do. And now that I am free of my father’s influence, I don’t want another god dictating the way I love people. So, I cannot be with you.” The monk stared down at her feet as she spoke. Shadowheart wanted to scream. She wanted to get on her knees and beg her not to leave, tell her that just because they would have to do things in the shadows didn’t mean Shar would dictate her life.
“Fine. Leave,”
___
Shadowheart made a mistake, and now she finds herself standing outside a temple with nothing but a few shreds of her memory and a note with a promise. 'I will be there for you if you ever need help—Vaelyn.'

Summary
“I’ll not gamble our lives, our futures, on people who are as good as dead. We must leave for Baldur’s Gate—at once.”
Aya’s heart pounded, each beat a deafening drum in her ears, drowning out the world around her. Her breath quickened, and the edges of her vision blurred as if the present was slipping away, pulling her back into the past she desperately tried to forget. That voice—it couldn’t be him, and yet every syllable tugged at memories she had locked away, threatening to unravel her composure.

Summary
He’s warm, Astarion realizes, and curls a bit closer. Steady, soft heat, far better than the thin blanket Astarion usually covers himself in. They don’t usually sleep this close, but the relentless chill of the Shadow-Cursed Lands has Astarion chasing his warmth.
Kairos hums, and shifts so he can bury his face in Astarion’s hair. “You smell good.”
“Bergamot and rosemary,” Astarion mumbles. “Covers up the corpse smell.”
“I like the corpse smell,” Kairos replies, unabashed, like the freak he is.
Perhaps the Dark Urge is not the safest companion Astarion could have chosen to seduce. In his defense, he's not exactly a details person.

Summary
A loose retelling of the plot of Baldur’s Gate 3 told from the perspective of my female Durge, Kalliope. Kalliope is a “Way of the Shadows” tiefling monk.
She doesn’t understand these bloodthirsty desires or thoughts, but sees their use in battle. Her monastic teachings are very contradictory to this seductive, dark muse in her mind that urges her to “KILL-MAIM-END!”
__________
Sample:“I do believe, my plant-happy friend, that we’ve just shared everything we know with you. Now, are you going to help us or not?” Astarion sounds as nervous and impatient as you feel.
[…]
Nettie’s lips thin into a tight grimace.
“…Kalliope…” tries Gale.
“No. I’m not taking poison from a woman I can’t trust. You’ve done nothing but deceive us since we crossed that threshold,” you flick your hand angrily, pointing to the door you passed through just moments before. “Despite us answering every question that you asked.”
The dark whisper snakes up the back of your skull, the killing calm begins warming and filling your body.
“It’s just for insurance,” tries Nettie once more, “take it only if you feel yourself changing.”
You sneer. And then, your vision goes red.

Summary
Del landed somewhere on the Sword Coast seconds before dying, with only the clothes on her back and a few now useless items in her purse. When confronting the reality she was now faced with, she realized she was going to need to start her life all over again in a world she was only slightly familiar with. With no skills worthy of a life in Faerun, she must somehow relearn how to survive.
When she finally does so, however, her world is turned upside down once again as she is pulled into a battle of a lifetime - a battle she’s fought before, but in a video game. Forced to run into familiar faces, retracing steps in a story she’s played before, Del struggles to maintain her facade. Her companions can never find out she’s done all of this before… and that she knows all possible branching paths the adventure could take them on. Can she keep her secrets to herself?
