Summary
Better question: What is this place? What-
There is nothing to recall. No sense of self, no useful memory. There’s the sense this should be accompanied by discomfort, upset, but the only things throbbing in the skull are pain and a distant curiosity.
This person. This body.
If you have no memories, how do you know if you're a person?

Summary
Durge Ellith (half-drow bard/sorcerer, pronouns they/them) is struggling with sentiments, and with the way they feel about Astarion. Crippled with doubts about the Urge and their past, they finally face their own fears. As for Astarion, he must accept that his lover still represents a threat.
Timeline: it happens in late Act 3 – a week or so before the events of The Book of Ashes. Orin and Gortash are still alive, Ellith hasn’t clearly defied Bhaal yet, but Astarion has already killed Cazador and decided to not ascend.
POV: First part if from Astarion's perspective, the second one is from Ellith's.

Summary
Shadowheart wasn't fond of wolves, that much was obvious. But when she was forced to travel with a werewolf under dire circumstances, she started to wonder if there could be an exception. She also could not, for the life of her, figure out why a complete stranger could stir up such a sense of familiarity in her, even within the limited fragments of her broken memories.
A healing journey in which Shadowheart recovers the missing pieces of her forgotten childhood.
Or:
Aquila (Tav) had already lost Shadowheart once before, and they weren't going to lose her again.
(a.k.a. "what if I am a loyal puppy who will follow you to the end of the world even after you were abducted by an evil cult?" -- Aquila, probably)

Summary
Once upon a time, Gorion's Ward saved the realms from her father, the god of murder, only to take that power for herself. But Bhaal returned regardless. Didn't anyone wonder what became of the goddess of murder?

Summary
Red, the Dark Urge, has a crush on Wyll, the Blade of Frontiers. Astarion is reluctant matchmaker.
Wyll Ravengard has been hunting monsters for a long time. One approaching him for help with redemption is a first, but he's not the sort of man to give up without a fight.
The vibe of this in-game fic is dark rom com, and the usual warnings for Dark Urge apply. Also not necessary to read the pre-canon story for this to enjoy. Go ahead and click for horrors and humor and horrible humor.

Summary
Azure is a teasing bastard, and Minthara hates that she loves her for it.
A Bhaalspawn and a Baenre, whatever could go wrong? Two desperate, broken souls that should've spelled doom upon their union, yet finding consolation in their scars and deflections nonetheless.
In Azure, Minthara learned true devotion; in Minthara, Azure learned what it takes to truly care for someone.
“I can make her worse”, but they ended up (somewhat) fixing each other instead.

Summary
You show proper respect. Good, he’d said in the audience chamber, and Lord Gortash had cut him a coy, clever, knowing look.
That is not how things work here in Bane’s fortress. A man like him does not simply waltz in without paying the toll.

Summary
Astarion felt like he had been sinking in quicksand this whole time, and this mad stranger had just tossed him a rope. All he had to do was grab it and let it pull him to safety. He would be the cat on the hunt this time. He would seduce this man for as long as he needed to. Then, when the moment was exactly right, he would steal his dagger, kill him, and make a clean escape.
He rolled his head back, exposing the delicate curve of his throat like an animal showing its belly in submission. His lips parted perfectly, and his voice dropped to a deep, sultry purr.
“That’s right, darling. I think we’re quite alike, actually…we’re cursed with similar appetites.”
The Dark Urge scoffed. “If only you knew the half of it.”
Astarion used to pray for a hero that could rescue him. 200 years later, the gods finally send him one. Of course, it's only fitting that his hero isn't prince or a paladin, but a mysterious cannibal assassin—a monster as bloodthirsty as he is.

Summary
“Why would I kill you now, Gortash?” I whispered, dragging the knife back up slowly, lightly. “When I’ve just found a new use for you…”
This is the story of the Dark Urge before the events of Baldur's Gate 3, everything between meeting Gortash and ending up on the Nautaloid. DurgeXGortash. This Dark Urge is a Male Drow. Very story-heavy if you're looking for a slow burn with lots of lore exploration. Hope you enjoy!
Content Warning: This is the origin story of the Dark Urge. May contain explicit material, acts of violence, gore, and mention of illegal activities such as murder, cannibalism and necrophilia, among other sensitive topics. Reader discretion is advised.

Summary
“This isn’t for you, you know,” Enver began, “This is merely the consequence of your incessant whining for my attention. Now you have it, Carrion.” Rion didn’t even register the use of its given name, merely replying with a whimper as it struggled against the hand tightly gripping its tail and attempted to back itself up and around his tyrant, its owner. Bhaal had no claim on it in the moments when it was thinking with its cunt and cunt alone.

Summary
(Some trigger warnings listed among tags, read this story at your own discretion)
Someone is killing vampires. Astarion's master asks him to go out and deal with the problem, but when he gets there, he finds himself in strangely friendly company despite his vampirism. The friendly nature of his target, however, comes with a rather dangerous caveat, one that has Astarion both intrigued and alarmed. Realizing the two are actually similar in a number of ways, they decide to stick together and help each other out. Despite both agreeing to this partnership, neither expect their relationship to end up where it does.

Summary
We’re all bad people here.
Nyx can’t remember enough of her life to figure out what she did to deserve this. Recent events have definitely been the worst time of her life, or so she’d assume.
This is the most freedom Astarion has had for a while, arguably the best time of his life- at least in the last millennia.
Both aren’t quite sure how to live, or what that really means.
So when they meet on a Hail Mary for their own survival, like it or not, they’re in this together.
Nyx knows he’s using her. She’s using him. She doesn’t really mind, so long as she remains ahead. But when those falsities start to intertwine with reality, Nyx finds herself genuinely- guiltily living for the first time. But as they both begin to unravel their histories it becomes clear that living a lie isn’t simple when your past doesn’t lay dead.
But for the first time she can remember, being alive seems to provide more comfort than the thought of a shallow grave.
A harrowing tale of survival, grief and love, Chrysanthemum’s and Bergamot is a Baldur’s Gate 3 elaboration from the perspective of the Dark Urge. -

Summary
The mere act of them sleeping quietly and in perfect stillness was strange. If she couldn’t see the gentle rise and fall of their chest, she’d think they were dead. She smiled. All she’d ever wanted was within reach.
Orin incapacitates The Dark Urge and has her fun with them. Things don't go quite as planned.
