Summary
This is Aylin and Isobel's story, though there will be a little crossover with Shadowheart Begins. The work is mostly how Aylin and Isobel met and lived prior to BG3 but will catch up to game events.
* * *
When Isobel hears the sharp tap at her door, she confusedly goes to her bedroom door before realising, the sound is coming from the door that opens onto the balcony.She opens the door in her dressing gown, wiping her eyes, not comprehending in her tiredness what a visitor on the balcony means.
She gasps at the sight of Aylin, her helmet cradled under one arm, her wings tucked behind her shoulders, moonlight glinting off her silver and blue armour. Her striking, gold-lined face is filled with concern to see Isobel in tears.
“Aylin!” Isobel cries, rushing into the aasimar’s arms without thought. “Oh, I missed you!”
Aylin’s helmet crashes to the floor as she opens her arms to welcome Isobel into her embrace at long last, feeling the shape of her snug against her armour.
“My darling Isobel,” Aylin says, her voice filled with emotion that softens her warrior’s voice. “Are you unwell? Are you hurt?”

My Killer and my Christ (but I’m the one twisting the knife) by CigfranFach

Summary
A 1950s Southern Gothic Horror AU surrounding Shadowheart, now known as Nightshade, where a surprise encounter with a strangely familiar girl she swears she's never met ropes her into an uneasy, whirlwind friendship. As their friendship grows, however, so do the stakes: the church-school who raised her would never approve of a relation with an outsider, especially not one as close as theirs. To boot, people around Charleston are dying, and strangely, Nightshade seems to be at the heart of it. Unable to trust her own mind, she, an old friend, and one new, are forced to solve a string of entwined murders and mysteries about Nightshade, to solve if she's the culprit, before the next victim turns out to be someone she cares about.

No spoilers are present for the Night Sly story in the 'canon' Toril universe, minus characters possessing the same personalities (which, I suppose for Viola, is something of a spoiler, lol). Parallels/AU-ified versions of Shadowheart's personality quest are key to the plot, however, and may include some spoilers.Series

Summary
Many hopes and dreams come to die in The Broken Frontier, a lawless land where outlaws, settlers, and industrialists alike fight to come out at top.
Shadowheart has never had time for hopes or dreams. Orphaned as a child, she was taken in by the Nightsinger’s gang, where she learned to live and kill by their rules. The outlaw life is all she has ever known, and the gang the only family she’s ever had.
Recently, something has profoundly changed in the gang and it all comes crashing down in a deadly confrontation that forces Shadowheart to make decisions that will change the course of her entire life, and lead her to meet a fiercely independent rancher, Eliza.
