Summary
When Rolim wakes up after the crash of the Nautiloid, he can hardly believe the reality he finds himself in.
The compulsions once forced upon him by Cazador are gone—and somehow, the sun no longer burns his skin.
But freedom comes with a price: an illithid tadpole now burrows through his grey matter and with it, a creeping loss of his vampiric strength and instincts.
He soon finds himself among a ragtag group of survivors, all infected, all searching for a cure. One of them stands out more than the rest: Astarion.
Handsome, sharp, and—unlike most—genuinely respectful of Rolim's boundaries. While Shadowheart hides her own secrets and Lae'zel simply doesn't care to ask, Astarion sees Rolim's need for space... and honors it.
As their journey twists deeper into uncertainty, a question begins to take shape:
What will become of them all when the fate they seek to change refuses to be rewritten?AU where Astarion is a 239 year old mortal elf and magistrate and Tav is the one under Cazador's thumb!
Have fun!Series

Summary
When Lana is abducted by large squid monsters and gains a large lizard man as a companion, she does her best to go with the flow. However, strange quirks and even stranger teammates keep upping the ante as they try to solve their parasite issue. She does her best to keep calm in this new world, trying to solve one problem at a time. Although, having the large lizard man hovering over your shoulder half the time could make things more difficult. And if she does find him cute, she can unpack that thought later.
Just a nice slow burn romance with the default Durge and a monk isekai'd Tav named Lana. What could go wrong?

Summary
This fanfiction novel was written in the alternating third person views of Vrak (The Dark Urge/OC) and Anari (my OC).
The novel takes off in the third person view of the Dark Urge as he discovers three things:
1) He has no memory of his past.
2) He's being held captive.
3) A sinister plot is brewing.Companions join Vrak, one by one, to overcome their calamity. Anari, a sorceress that had settled down from her days of adventuring, was ripped from the comforts of her home in Baldur's Gate, finding herself fighting her way back along side them.
Ages old secrets about Anari's family lineage reveal themselves and threaten to turn her world upside down the deeper they go. All while Vrak's Dark Urge threaten their lives as well as those around them.Warning: Gruesome imagery and explicit content may be unsettling for some readers.
Edit: Don't be alarmed! I changed the title from Baldur's Gate 3: A Fanfiction Novel to the one you see now. The previous title I felt was too cliche, but was all I had as I pondered what to name this. I thought I would pay homage to Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn, and voila! More shadows :)

Summary
Darius's memory of his old life is hazy at best. One thing's for sure, though, he's been Bhaal's scion and as such those who know keep a wide berth around him.

Together, Darius and Rolim find out what connection he has to the tiefling that lived and died over a century ago.
And in the process, Rolim, Astarion, and Darius form a friendship that eventually turns into more.Series

Summary
"The seats of the heavens shall shudder and break,
The thrones of the hells shall crack and shake.
Through orb’s shadow and crown’s flame, balance is spun—
The Chosen work unseen, and the new age is begun.So sayeth the wise Alaundo."
---
Before Moonshadow, God of the Eclipse, there was Vesper; A half-drow "child" of Bhaal destined to end divinity with the Chosen of Bane at his side.
That was, until his beloved half-sister (thankfully) divested him of his Chosen mantle (rather violently) and set in motion the events that would ultimately lead Vesper to Gale Dekarios, a charming wizard who claimed his heart (almost instantly).
In this collection of one-shots, follow Ves as he, Gale and their companions set out to find a cure for their parasites as well as uncovering the hidden depths of the Cult of the Absolute that holds the key to Ves' shadowed past.
WARNING: This is a Resist!Durge fic, but even so there will be lots of violence, blood, gore and bouts of madness.

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
Magic, Mystery, Might. All this and more were won by one woman: the goddess of magic, April Manx. Upon her death, the planes tore themselves apart. As the waters rose, Faerun crumbled into the seas, leaving behind only islands where cities once thrived. Her dying words drove countless adventurers out to sea.
My power will never be yours. Away! To the ends of the planes. Whoever finds it inherits my burden.
And so adventurers set their sights on the Grand Line, the turbulent waters where Mystra fell to Toril, in pursuit of their dreams. This time is known as the Spellplague Era. Would-be gods scour the sea in search of the All Blue Flame, the sole remnant of Mystra’s divinity. Rauva Baenre, a girl in command of shadows after eating the Shade Shade Fruit, set sail to become the next Goddess of Magic. As Rauva and her crew conquer the seas, they capture the unwanted attention of the Flaming Fists who will use any means necessary to stop them. Their course uncharted, they set sail across the Grand Line.
If you're coming from BG3, this reads like an AU. If you're coming from One Piece this reads like the characters have been isekai'd & I only just started Wano. No thoughts, just vibes.

Summary
The man shakes his head. “I haven’t.” Nervous hands pull at monkish robes, no doubt uncomfortably hot in this environment. “So glad to meet you. To meet anyone else, honestly.” He sticks out the wrong hand, eager for politeness but not quite properly educated on how to go about it. Almost endearing. “I’m Peter.”
That is one distinctly human name for someone quite so purple. “Can’t quite remember my name, if I’m being honest. Hoping that’s just a consequence of…” He directs one clawed finger to point at his eye. “Did you wind up with one of those little worms in your eye as well?”
“Tadpole.” Peter immediately corrects, which is annoying. “But yeah, I did.” He bows his upper half forward just a tad, tilting his head. “I don’t think that memory loss is a normal symptom, but maybe the psionic energy of the ship is just messing with you…?”

Summary
The underground chasm was as dark and dank as Durge had remembered it. His footsteps echoed in the shadow of the path that once laid open. It was no surprise, after all the nether brains damage to the city had been nearly cataclysmic. It’d be foolish to think the underground would have fared any better...A desire, a whim, a calculated risk, whatever it may have been, it led him down the path to where the Nether Brain once lay dormant, with two hundred gold pieces rattling in his pocket.

Summary
If you asked Mavrius about his life, he'd say that the only thing worse off than him was any of the poor bastards turned into lemures.
A Cania Tiefling fugitive from the hells with zero abilities as a Paladin, oathless, a penchant to use the word fuck like it's seasoning for food, finds himself crash landed with a rag tag bunch of weirdos.
Least the female Tiefling is cute.
