Summary
“You’re full of surprises, aren’t you,” I murmur, mesmerized by the simple touch of the metal.
“Aren’t we all?” he replies in a low voice.
The shift in his tone makes me look at him, and I’m surprised by the way his face has changed within seconds. It’s softer, more relaxed. And his eyes have a mildness I’ve never seen in them before. And now that I look at him, I realize that his lips are kind of pretty—very pretty.
His hand still hovers close to my ear, and from the corner of my eye, I see it moving even closer, until I feel a frigid touch at the crook of my neck.
I shiver and flinch to the side because this inhuman coldness freaks me out.When Tav and her companions rescue Halsin from the worg pens in the goblin camp, they’re forced to make a quick escape. Through a crack in the wall, they stumble into a tunnel that leads them even deeper into the Underdark. Soon, the group splits, leaving Tav and Astarion alone to find their way back to the surface.

Summary
The nautiloid ship abducting Inna was a blessing in disguise.
As a child she was taken from the streets of Baldur’s Gate and raised in a secluded convent near Candlekeep in the ways of honoring Oghma. But all her peers and elders saw when they looked at her, was a drow - born to be wicked and beyond redemption. When Inna's protector Nyssara passed away, there was nothing left to shield her from the abuse until the Illithids came and took her away - inadvertently introducing her to a gentle wizard who stole her heart.
All Inna ever wanted was to be loved for who she was.Just before entering the Shadow-cursed lands Inna has a tender moment with Gale under the stars and realises she is in love with him, but Astarion and his charms are always around the corner.

Summary
"Tav would not act like this. Not all of him is gone, but whoever they currently are is not Tav anymore. The name is branding, limiting. His body is a self-made prison created from the single mistake of introducing themselves as Tav of Baldur’s Gate. Just like that Tav stays and the celldoor locks."
Tav is a changeling who has a complicated (and unhealthy) relationship with their identity. They are desperate to keep being Tav even when the name no longer fits; even as it slowely eats away at them. Their facade is prone to slip around a certain campmate escpecially.
This is only an introduction and the bite scene (+ its aftermath) -

Summary
“Tav.” As Halsin tested the sound, she knew it was safe on the back of his throat. Her name was dead everywhere else, but what a lovely grave his tongue marked, the shroud in which it rested. "I can see how it wouldn't fit the elegant woman you are now. Nagini suits you better. A serpentine allure and a sharp, captivating presence. A name that sounds beautiful in any tongue."
Her lips curved into a genuine smile, the kind that she reserved for him. "Yes, it's a graceful one," she agreed. "I like to think that my name is like a silk dress, in a way. Smooth, elegant, and comfortable to wear."
Halsin grinned at the fluidity of her nonsense. He found that perhaps the most disarming, ethereal beauties in this world were also the most eccentric; it didn't make anything about her pale, but rather highlighted everything that belonged to that strange world in which the bard reigned supreme.As Halsin helps a group of adventurers, he finds his dormant heart stirring for the party’s leader, a tiefling whose charm has been crafted to perfection from her profession as a courtesan and her bardic skills, and threatens to awake feelings that have stayed unperturbed for the last century.

Summary
What if the Absolute never came to Baldur's Gate?
Astarion must escape from Cazador at any cost. He hadn't known a moment's peace in two hundred years from the constant compulsion drawing him back to his master, until stumbling across a tavern that seemed to have appeared overnight on the busy streets of the Upper City. Curiosity getting the better of him, he steps inside and the life he knew before is entirely uprooted. Daring to hope for the first time in two hundred years, could the charming and mischievous Aasimar barkeep with a tavern packed with secrets be the key to his freedom? Or will the celestial descendent see him as he has come to see himself; a monster in need of putting down.
This is a plot focused story with heavy, feral open door romance and fluff to balance out a fraction of the trauma this fic will entail. Consider it a fast burn in terms of smut but a slow burn for a true relationship, similar to the game.

Summary
This tale starts with Gale's affliction with the orb and is largely Gale's POV with minor Tara POV. Becomes alternating Gale/Tav's POV once Tav is introduced. An excerpt:
"After what felt like an eternity, the pain began to ebb from a razor-sharp stab to a burning throb. He took another deep, steadying breath. It wasn’t enough to banish the pain, but it was enough to give him the strength to endure it. He opened his eyes and met his own reflection in the looking glass. Beads of sweat ran from his brow, his hair damp with it. The veins on his face were dark under his skin, darkest around his left eye where the mark of the orb was a glow, trailing beneath the facial hair that he’d let grow out over the last few days, then snaking down his neck and wrapping around his heart center. It throbbed with light. A warning, a curse, a physical manifestation of the thing within him threatening to boil over and consume him. The only part of the image that resembled the man he’d been but a few short days ago glinted at his ear, his spell focus, Mystra’s star. It had been days, and his magic had not returned. He’d finally coaxed Mystra’s last words from Tara. His Goddess had abandoned him. He was truly and utterly alone."

Summary
“Gods, you’re such a nerd,” she says. “I can't believe you weren’t bullied as a child.”
“Oh, I was,” Gale replies. “Rather viciously, in fact.”
“Hm. Clearly not enough.”
He opens his mouth to say more, but before he can launch into an elaborate and ostensibly pitiful anecdote about a stolen lunchbox or being stood up at the homecoming dance, Tav brushes his hair off the back of his neck and leans close as if to kiss him. Instead, she presses the very tip of the melting icicle to the nape of his neck.
“What in the nine bloody hells?!” he shouts as he jumps, smashing his knees into his desk and upending several of the trinkets atop it.
“Ouch. Need some ice for those knees, professor?”

Summary
On the fifth night of their involuntary tadpole misadventure together, Monster Hunter Inara (Tav) clashes with the realm's most obvious vampire when he tries to take a clandestine bite of her. But as with every plan Astarion had come up in his unlife so far, it contains one step only. So what if this gremlin vampire cat actually is forced to face and deal with the consequences of his bite-y actions? Chaos and hilarity ensues, of course.
Or, tfw Astarion has slurped up the only person in camp willing to help him in spite of his vampie... everything, and now has to find a way to bring Inara back. Ideally before the others in camp wake up and bring out the stakes and torches.
A character-focused, introspective version of Bite Night and its events beyond with its serial numbers filed off, because canon is just a guideline anyway, and thus goes way beyond the mere scene. Because perhaps in between the hunger, flailing, misconceptions and bickering a first understanding between Inara and Astarion can be gained. One that actually transcended lifetimes.
Rating is for Chapter 1 only. Everything else is SFW.

Summary
Failed drow priestess and chronic womanizer Nephiah Qil'oussiryn never thought she'd amount to much without Lolth's guidance. So, she turned to the surface instead to satisfy her needs... until a certain kidnapping and crashed Nautiloid completely threw off her plans. But while the surface is a grim place, a certain dark and mysterious priestess has caught her eye, practically begging to get caught up in her web. And if the tadpole is going to kill them all, why not have some fun on the way out?

Shadowheart is nothing if not loyal to her goddess, Shar, which has often set her outside the lines of "good and decent" society. It's never something that bothered her... she thinks. It's hard to know for sure when you don't have any memories. It's also hard to understand what she feels when her mission fails and she's swept into an uneasy alliance with an unfamiliar drow, whose flirtatious intentions seem suspicious at best, and threatening at worst. Yet there's something almost familiar about her that draws her in, sometimes dangerously close. Perhaps it's just because they both follow dark gods, the way Neph never makes her feel so ostracized and alone. Or perhaps it's something else...

Summary
“I’ve gone through three gimmicks since Fire & Desire disbanded. Three! I know you’re fully aware of that being a death sentence. If I have to walk out to Ring of Fire one more time or say howdy to anyone I’m going to slit someone’s throat with my spurs. Perhaps my own.”
Astarion Ancunín was once one of the top wrestlers in the Knights of Faerûn wrestling federation. Now, he's a jobber with nothing to lose. After convincing management to go with one of his original ideas, he transforms into the Vampire Ascendant, an enigmatic vampire lord that makes the crowd fall to their knees.
Valora Feirefitz's world is turned upside down once her small federation is absorbed by the KoF. She then becomes the face to the Vampire Ascendant's heel. In kayfabe, they're sworn enemies, but out of the ring, their relationship grows into much more than either had anticipated. Something about him draws her in... and she doesn't want out.
