Notes from the Ceremorphosis Unit by narla_hotep

Summary
A series of letters, memos, and other documents translated from Qualith tablets found in Oryndoll; the largest illithid colony in the Underdark. In the Ceremorphosis Unit, they transform prisoners and thralls into new mind flayers to serve the colony's Elder Brain and further the Grand Design. But even in this cruel and alien culture, there is still typical workplace drama and passive-aggression...

Summary
A character focused post game adventure.
It's been eight months since the Absolute. During the reunion, the group had collectively decided to meet up again for a special event, and Astarion is looking forward to a time of relaxation and fun. Might even be excited to see his friends-though he'd never admit it.
The trip soon turns sour the moment they arrive. Dark forces are working against them, things aren't as they seem. Lies, pain, and danger of losing everything is not what they had on his list, especially Astarion, who finally has something to lose. They'll do anything to protect what they have gained, and protect their friends no matter the cost.

Summary
Tav's visit to Avernus was supposed to last a few hours, no more. A full week later, she's finally made her way home, and not even the extraordinary, magical gift she brings with her is enough to make Astarion less blazingly furious.
Set about a month post-game.

Vocabulary and Grammar of Tir by bluebeholder
Fandoms: Dungeons & Dragons (Roleplaying Game), Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

Summary
Exactly what the title says: vocabulary, grammar, and ideas for writing dialogue in the language spoken by the githyanki and githzerai. The gith have been around since the publication of the 1981 Fiend Folio, featuring in monster manuals, magazines, video games, and more. They've got a lot to say and hopefully this document will help us understand it.
4/24/2024: Major updates incoming soon, this is very much a WIP!

Summary
Rin lays there, her back against the grass as she stares resolutely up at the sky overhead, little drops of dew like tiny diamonds hanging heavy from blades of grass.
“I have nothing to say to you, just so you know.” She refuses to look over to the place where Astarion lays mere inches from her as she says the words, but it doesn’t stop her from moving her hand to rest it down in the small gap of space between their bodies.
It’s an offering, if nothing else, though it is one Rin doesn’t know if he will take.
“Well then, I suppose it’s a good thing that you so rarely have anything worthwhile to say.” Astarion’s words carry his usual unaffected haughtiness that has her eyes rolling despite herself, a small huff of annoyance escaping her lips.
But as she feels the coolness of his skin against her own, clever fingers intertwining with her delicate ones, she thinks that maybe, just maybe there can also be a little room for hope in whatever this thing between them is.
✧· · ─── ·✧· ─── · ·✧
In which Astarion and Rin learn how to bridge the gap, because perhaps all that distance between them isn’t quite so large as they once thought.

Summary
Astarion doesn't look up from the paper he holds. He sucks in a breath, to talk, and his voice is a horror. “They knew. My parents,” he spits. “They knew what had happened to me the entire time. They knew I had been taken by Cazador.”

Summary
I've noticed that a lot of Ukrainian poems fit BG3 characters surprisingly well. So I dug up their English translations (and translated some myself) and put them in this collection.
This is probably the most unusual BG3 thing you've seen so far 😅
