Summary
When Lavare and Evelyn end up on the nautiloid, kidnapped and inserted with tadpoles that will turn them into monsters, the pair of sisters go on a quest along with a ragtag party to try and save themselves from the grim fate. Everyone is a little weird, but they all need to work together to get through this mess. Between a wizard that might blow up, an elf who might eat the party, the cleric and fighter snipping at each other, a monster hunter and a woman who didn't end up a monster after all, things are not off to a great start. On top of all of that, a seemingly half-crazed tiefling who can't even remember her own name, do they have the odds to even make it through this journey?
Lavare is enthusiastic enough to believe they can make it, but her older and more experienced sister doesn't feel the need to hand out trust to anyone just yet. Still, it's safer in a group than it is alone. It's going to be dangerous enough just getting to Baldur's Gate, when they actually reach it then it's really going to get messy.
And the amnesiac Dark Urge, helped along by Karlach when it seems like no one else can believe in her, is terrified of her own place in the world and what it means when she starts to learn it.

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
The Dark Urge. The Silly Urge. The Unhinged Urge. Is this amnesiac a Sharran? Does Shar accept possums as sacrifices? Why has Shar blocked her number? Enjoy Primrose, a love letter to my ADHD. She's bubblegum pink, she slays, and the chapter names are mostly from my hot girl workout mix.
This is a super slow burn going through the events of the game (and maybe after? we'll see) following our girl. Putting the violence tag on just for Durge typical behavior, but nothing too wacky.

Summary
Jayme is a dashing, self-assured high elf bard Durge with a past even darker than he or any of his companions imagined. And Astarion is, well, Astarion—a sweet and uncertain boy, acting all confident.
A post-game story beginning on the night following the victory over the Netherbrain. In the grip of a mysterious and sinister plot, Jayme finds himself whisked away to a mystical plane, leaving Astarion in distress at the Elfsong. Will they find their way to each other again? Who is still scheming against the heroes of Baldur's Gate? What is the Dark Urge really?
Features several flashbacks, fueled by longing, to their tadpoled adventures—particularly those in which Durge and Astarion forged their deep bond. While honoring the game’s romantic scenes—most of which I consider part of this narrative—I’ve also reworked some and introduced new, original moments to better capture the essence of their passionate relationship.

Summary
Vale wakes up on an alien ship hurtling through the Hells and being attacked by Githyanki dragon-riders. He has no memories, but he does have a parasitic mindworm, a voice urging him towards violence, and a creeping sense that something has gone horribly wrong. As if that wasn’t already obvious.
Astarion starts his day very strangely. For one, he’s not on the filthy kennel mattress and for another, he’s not being burnt to a crisp under the very bright, but beautiful sunlight. All in all, not a bad end to a kidnapping. Now that he's been given a chance to have his vengeance on his master, and to live a life of his choosing, all Astarion has to do is stay alive and gather allies he can use in his quest to kill Cazador.

Summary
This story begins and ends with death, and you know that. You feel arms around you, the darkness all consuming. There’s ringing in your ears, a thrumming in your veins like something else is beside you. You think you hear begging, pleading, perhaps the whimpering of tears being shed, and you wonder why you can’t see them. Below you, the ground is cool, damp, yet sticky, like something other than water pools beneath you.
You hear another voice, clearer to you, unlike that of what you can only assume is family, or friends, or lovers, or mere companions beside you begging for you to get up. It’s shaky, yet stern, like the hum of life itself is within it. It sends chills down your body, and threatens to jolt you out of existence altogether.
“So, rise, Challenger of Gods, and prepare for battle once more.”
Death will not claim thee.----
A complete rewrite of Baldur's Gate as Durge inspired by my own game. Please enjoy me refusing to let my beloveds go. -

Summary
The world keeps blurring at its edges, and it’s threatening to take him with it.
Focus.
He feels like a wisp of smoke, at risk of blowing away in the rising wind.
Desperately, he tries to keep hold on the world around him. Keep himself from fading away.
***
He comes to on a wreck of meat and fire with barely a thought in his head. There’s something happening, something urgent. The others are worried, snapping at each other in harsh tones around the edge of the campfire, yet despite their issues, they move forward – if he can’t keep up, he’ll get left behind. Maybe, if he can be useful, they’ll keep him around.

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.

Baldur's Gate 3: Out of the Absolute's Shadows by Dianne_Crispus

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
"... Nym hears Astarion put his dagger away with a satisfied sigh. 'Are you going to let all that blood go to waste? Thought you’d have your fill with him.'
Astarion stops directly in front of him, rosemary filling his lungs. He feels a flutter of nervousness at the proximity, a heat that climbs up his neck. 'And why would I do that, knowing I have something infinitely more delicious offering itself up to me?'"

Summary
Karl has a lot on his mind (and well, in it).
He's got a worm in his brain, a compulsion for violent murder, and a group of people he wants to keep alive at all costs. Which might be harder than he thinks since his father wants Karl to kill everyone and doesn't take 'No' for an answer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A character study that somewhat spiralled out of control. Actively trying to avoid just rewriting scenes from Act 3 and instead, fill in the gaps...with copious amounts of dangerous bear sex.

Summary
Dark urge wood elf Lephia and vampire spawn Astarion discover new forms of intimacy together as they set out on an adventure to Baldur's Gate. Lots of smut and comfort.
This fic follows the main canon storyline of BG3 and then continues on into post-canon afterwards (around Chapter 24). Mostly Lephia POV with some Astarion POV chapters later on.
