Summary
In 1492 DR, Tavarrah, the unclaimed daughter of Bhaal, dies after the Vampire Lord Cazador Szarr ascends and defeats her party.
In 1371 DR, Éowyn Portyr, the last direct descendant of the first Duke Portyr, is born. Despite being decidedly human, the same pale elf with silver-hair keeps reappearing in her dreams over and over again. Who is he? And why is he so important?
__
Or,
The gods never intervened in mortal affairs, especially when they concerned the undead. However, when the fate of the world hangs by a thread, rules must be bent. Éowyn will need to navigate life as an Upper City noble and socialite, rescue a vampire spawn, and unite a ragtag team of adventurers. Together, they will need to put together the puzzle around the hellish ritual that caused Toril to fall the first time around. Else, they will be doomed to watch it happen all over again.

Summary
An epic of shadow and light, love and ruin; a gothic-cinematic reimagining of Baldur’s Gate III. In the aftermath of capture and corruption, two lost souls find each other: Shi’nshri Arralin, exiled heir of a fallen drow house, and Astarion Ancunìn, vampire spawn of a tyrant’s design. Both marked by hunger and control, both searching for a life beyond the webs that bound them.Their journey begins in blood and fire, a fall from the stars to the shores of a broken world. Joined by companions equally cursed, they cross the wilds of Faerûn in search of freedom from the mind flayer parasite and from the ghosts of gods and masters alike. Through acts of violence and quiet grace, Shi and Astarion become mirrors of each other: stillness and storm, restraint and recklessness, warmth and cold. What begins as wary alliance becomes obsession, then reverence; love as both wound and weapon. Their story moves through hellfire and moonlight, from the burning halls of Avernus to the sanctuaries of shattered faith. But freedom has its price. When vengeance comes, it demands not only blood, but the very definitions of self—what it means to love, to endure, to be seen. And in the end, only the stars will bear witness.

Summary
Forsaken by the gods and stripped of all control, Astarion still glimpses fate’s stitches puncturing the fabric of reality, where dark and radiant powers alike compete for the final say in his life. Somewhere in the vast multiverse, another story takes shape—one that bears witness to Astarion Ancunín’s pain and redemption, from his centuries as Cazador Szarr’s vampire spawn to the moments leading up to the Nautiloid. Two hundred years of Forgotten Realms lore intertwine with Astarion’s lived experience, revealing the echoes of who he was, what he survived, and who he may yet become.

Summary
Tav's world is shattered when Astarion is sacrificed during Cazador’s ascension ritual. In a blind fury, she exacts vengeance on Cazador, but even his death brings her no solace. Struggling beneath the weight of her grief, Tav finds herself lost in despair, with nothing left but the aching void where Astarion once was.
The story starts in Act III and continues after the defeat of the elder brain, delving into Tav's grief as she struggles to accept Astarion's death. There aren't going to be many happy moments, but there is a happy ending (sort of). I'll update tags as I go.

“I was so afraid I would kill you. And then that night…here.” She gestured weakly to the front workbench she’d been avoiding. “When you pinned my wrists… I thought… I thought you were still afraid I could hurt you after I showed you what I’m capable of.” A lone, hot tear fell down her cheek. “I thought you were protecting yourself from me. From what I could do.”
“I was.” His voice was hoarse, and barely audible. “Just… not the way you think.”
