Not Everyone's Nature is Golden and Green by oursusanellen
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
22 Jun 2025

Summary
Kara's carved out a niche in Faerûn; her herbalist skills untapped, her wit sharp and emotional entanglements strictly off-limits.
Her moments of peace are now a fleeting dream - shattered the moment a mind flayer parasite burrows its way into her brain.
Battles against grotesque monsters and depraved cultists are expected. However, her sanity is about to be tested by the internal war against the parasite, sharing stale, dried boar rations with questionable companions and her ridiculously inconvenient crush on a ridiculously attractive wizard. Her restraint may be about to snap.
------
This is the tale of my Druid Tav through the main events of the game (with some extra lore thrown in); not to mention her descent into madness, navigating the treacherous friendships she builds and, of course, her romance with a certain Waterdhavian wizard.

Summary
“She’d thought it would be different now. That the fear haunting her would fade along with her humanity. That hunger would bring clarity. Power. Certainty.
And yet, here she was. Still hiding.
Always hiding.”
A few months. That was all it took to turn from saviour to fugitive, hero to villain. Tav is trapped between two worlds—no longer fully human, but not yet the illithid she was meant to become.
Not that it matters. The city she died for now speaks her name in fear, hunting what’s left of the illithid with Tav as the grand prize.
Defeat seems certain. Surrender, inevitable.
…That is, until a former ally finds her—and, against all odds, chooses mercy.
In that moment, Tav sees the truth she hadn’t been prepared to admit: survival won’t come from goodness or secrecy. It will take help. Rolan’s help.
If he’s even willing to give it.

Summary
An anthology of smutty silliness, fluffy romance, and tragic star-crossed lovers spanning the multiverse. From a mindflayer "experiment," to first times in the midst of war, to kitchen craziness, to forbidden love between enemies, to lonely vampires and immortal elves, journey through many sexy stories. It's starring people you've never heard of, but some things are universal...nd you're probably not here for the characterization anyway.
So if you want to have a good laugh, maybe a decent cry, or just want to see what kind of weird situations arise, from the medieval worlds of D&D, to the neon-soaked Night City of Cyberpunk, and the war-torn expanses of Battletech's Inner Sphere, this anthology might just be for you.

Summary
Haidrik Noktavarin is a less than stellar wizard and, in many ways, an abject coward. But when finding himself captured and tadpoled by Illithid invaders, he has one thing going for him - a way to escape his body. Now hopping between an enchanted gemstone and whichever dead body available, he's finding himself needing to rely upon a Githyanki warrior woman who just might scare him even more than the dangers of a mindflayer cult.

It's squid fucking, and squids fucking. Not all of it will be smut, look at the chapter notes for individual warnings. I like to write monster genitals all around and all these bastards are gonna be weird <3<3 This is mostly random writings I have done that are illithid centric, some are ocs some are characters made up on the spot for the specific idea.
More tags will be added to additional tags as I go.

Остаётся лишь один шаг до вершины, и ты наконец-то готова его сделать. Последний шаг – окончательно принять себя».
История о том, как симбиоз превращается в эволюцию; размышления о собственной идентичности, а также неизбежное понимание того, что и дружба, и любовь, возможны лишь с равными себе.
