Summary
The continent is aflame: the war between the undead armies of Thay and the Steel Watchers of the Sword Coast has caught entire countries in its wake. Meanwhile, Ruin and Minthara’s long-planned invasion of Menzoberranzan has hit a snag. A battered and broken Lae’zel has arrived with a dire warning: Vlaakith is hunting any who had opposed her.
It’s not the only problem: Gortash, under the physical strain of becoming Bane’s Exarch, has begun showing signs of instability.
Will Gortash and Ruin be able to hold it all together? Or will that bright and honorable band of heroes on the horizon, led by a vengeful Elminster, finally topple their reign?
Can be read fandom-blind and without reading previous in series (really! really really!). Updates Mondays, biweekly.
Minthara/Lae'zel is not a background relationship; chapters are evenly split between Gortash/Ruin and Menzo adventures.

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?

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
Erkan wakes on a mind flayer ship with no memory, only a name echoing in his mind like a curse: Sura. It’s not his, yet it burns beneath his skin like something he’s sworn to protect… or destroy.
Elsewhere on the same twisted vessel, Sura awakens too: bloody, dazed, and haunted by fragments of a past she can’t place. All she knows is pain, power, and the knowledge that someone out there shares her scars.
Bound by fate, mind flayer tadpoles, and a name neither fully understands, the twins must survive the horrors of the Nautiloid, the chaos of the crash, and the creeping madness inside them. With every step, the world pulls them closer to forgotten truths and to each other.
Even if they don’t remember who they are, something else does. And it’s watching.

In the midst of this turmoil, his sadism inspires him to try to tear apart the marriage of a young refugee couple, Bex and Danis.

Summary
In the shadow of her father’s divine will, the Dark Urge has always obeyed. A devoted leader of the cult of Bhaal, she wields destruction as easily as devotion, commanding fear and loyalty in equal measure. Yet cracks are forming in her psyche, and whispers of selfhood stir in the darkness.
Between the scheming of her uncle Sarevok, the cunning of her adopted sister Orin, and the enigmatic ambition of Enver Gortash, she must navigate loyalty, love, and her own awakening desires. As she confronts the weight of inheritance and the echoes of creation itself, she begins to see the first signs of her autonomy - and the dangerous allure of freedom.
Blood will bind her, but only she can choose whether to break the chains.

Summary
A brain fell from the sky, the city is healing, life slowly returns to the normal and our spawns find it harder and harder to find a place for themselves. Where do monsters fit in a life of normalcy? When you have a constant hunger for blood, how can you pretend to be normal?
And what do you do when people find out that you're not?
This is a follow-up to the Broken Bastards fic, containing a continuation and some cut content. (Is currently being broken-up into smaller arcs and put into a series.)

Summary
When he woke up, it is not to the feeling of air under his feet or the rush of water slowly clawing down his lungs, forcing his last breath. There is no cold that comes with the rush of death, and there is no darkness that consumes him. Worse, there is no euphoria or relief for having received what he wanted.
On the contrary, when he woke up, it is to extreme heat instead of chilling frost. Embers burned around him, as he collapsed on the floor after the weird machine released him from his confinement. When his pale eyes blinked open, the first thing that came to mind wasn't 'where am I?' it's 'who am I?'
As he stood up, brushing off the invisible dusts from his clothes, the small memories he did have come in short bursts.
His name is Cassius. He plays the violin. And he wants to die.

Summary
"The shadowed sun shall wed broken dusk,
The Weaves shall fray, the gods shall rust.
Through strife and love, all realmspace to save—
The eclipse endures, though all else may fade.So sayeth the wise Alaundo."
---
First, there was Ves—a half-drow bard hopelessly in love with Gale Dekarios, the wizard from Waterdeep. Their bond, born of shared trials across the Sword Coast, was unbreakable. So deeply did Ves love Gale that he sacrificed everything, even his mortal life, to remain by his side.
Now, as Moonshadow, God of the Eclipse, he is Gale’s divine partner, yet feels like a shadow in the path of Gale’s relentless ambition. Ascension has become a burden, and Moonshadow longs for the simplicity of his mortal life—of simply being Ves, Gale’s lover, free of celestial duties.
A long overdue promise to revisit Faerûn stirs those old desires, making Moonshadow yearn for a life he can never reclaim.
NB: Chapters names marked with * have an optional, expanded NSFW version on my pseud (heartsong94).

Summary
For decades, Astarion and his lover, Skender, the erstwhile Chosen of Bhaal and saviour of Baldur’s Gate, have been searching for a way to allow the vampire to walk in the sunlight again.
When at last, Skender performs the most powerful spell in existence and rewrites the very fabric of reality, Astarion is thrown back to the year 1268, a day before Cazador Szarr turns him into a vampire spawn.
Astarion must decide what to do with this newfound lease on life. He’s never been the selfless hero type, but his silly conscience and his knowledge of the future compel him to honour his lover’s legacy. Besides, he’s got time to kill until the Dark Urge reemerges and wreaks havoc on the world.
Can Astarion prevent past sins from being repeated? Can he, Skender, their allies as well as their foes escape their fate and their true nature? Can love transcend multiple lifetimes?
An AU which is a continuation of are we the brutal hearts that break the night in two? about the same pairing. For this story to effectively hit you in the feels, I recommend reading the first fic.

Summary
For one moment she was all blood, and in that moment he wanted to devour her.
two monsters stumble into camaraderie and try not to get themselves too bloodied. they fail spectacularly.
astarion/durge, solely astarion's pov. game reconstruction/divergence, no canon scenes or dialogue after the nautiloid. lots of art, updates fridays, semi pre-written. heavy on the trauma, heavy on the humour.

/vəˈsisəˌto͞od/
noun
a change of circumstances or fortune, typically one that is unwelcome or unpleasant.Okay, so maybe playing video games during a lightning storm was a bad idea. But how was I supposed to know it would land me in the wreckage of the Nautiloid on that fictional shore deep in Faerun? Now I’m trapped and my only chance of getting back home is trusting a group of idiots too busy dealing with their own trauma to figure out what to eat for dinner.
But you know what’s worst of all?
I picked the Dark Urge. -

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
“Wine?” He stood and took a bottle from a table behind the desk. He poured two glasses before she could answer and set one on the edge of the desk in front of her, “A torch of good will,” he flashed her another sharp smile. She couldn’t help but imagine those fangs clamped down against her throat as she drove a stake into his ribs. The ecstasy of taking a life, especially one as insulting to her father as his, while simultaneously having her life snuffed out... Orgasmic.

The first of my Vellioth x Dark Urge series! Will update tags as each chapter is posted.
I made the grave mistake for falling for a vampire that barley exists outside of fanfictions. So naturally I had to write my own for the other Vellioth lovers.

Summary
“If I ever see you again, I’ll kill you,” Astarion tells him, voice grave and swirling with something sinister. Good, he thinks.
Finn nods once. “You should.” The handle turns stiffly, resistant, and he steps into the morning light, leaving the man he loves behind him, trapped in the shadows.
