    Summary

    Sometimes seeking out new experiences might not what you expecting to experience. After installing a secret mod, I found myself within the Forgotten Realms, for real, fighting for my life and for those adorable companions that we meet along the way.

    They also say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and events depicted in a video game aren't necessarily the ones you are expecting to encounter. Starting with a heavily modded custom honour mode run might not have been the smartest idea after all. Still, I get to meet and be with the amazing people who just need a little help from a friend.

    A/N ~ if you are reading this you've most likely played the game and will have a good idea as to what happens within the progression of the game.

    This is a first person narrative that I've chosen to create which takes us on a journey where the parameters of the game no longer matter or are applicable. The encounters and major events of BG3 are mostly the same as you would expect yet circumstances and choices made in the story alter future events and outcomes.

     

    Enjoy

    Summary

    “Ellia, it is a genuine pleasure.” He held his right hand out once more. She stared at the bandages, now slightly out of place by her pulling, and the slivers of exposed skin beneath: dark, purpling grey with a cracked-stone texture. Flashes of injuries and maladies skittered across her mind—nothing matched what she saw in him.

    “I don’t want to hurt you,” she said with an indicating nod.

    His smile turned wry. “Believe me, the damage there has already been done. But perhaps you’re right, and this will be better.” He swapped one hand for the other. A moment’s hesitation, then she accepted. His touch was warm. His skin more worn, more lived-in, than what she’d expected from a study-bound wizard. She wondered, dimly, what he felt in her hand. If the illusion would hold true under such direct connection, and what would happen if he realized who she truly was. But then his hand was gone and her wondering went with it. It didn’t matter. They wouldn’t be together long.

    A novelization of BG3, reframed as a romance between Gale and a resistant Durge with alternating POVs. Elements of concept Gale. More Alfira. More Tara. More reactivity to Durge actions. Puns.

    Summary

    Nearly a century before the Absolute Crisis, a victim of Petras, Astarion's brother in undeath, escaped before she could be turned over to Cazador. Long after being declared dead from a fire caused by Petras' slip, she showed up at the camp late one night. She was hurtled into the war against the Absolute and back into the life of Astarion. Though they had only met briefly before, Astarion had never forgotten the encounter with the woman

     

    TL;DR: What if Tav was a mysterious person from Astarion's past?

    Summary

    Artemis woke up from her slumber, but she wasn't home. No, she realised pretty quickly: She transmigrated in the latest game she played: BG3!

    Thrown into a stranger's body, she wants one thing: finding a way home, back to her old, original self. But as events unfold, she discovers that her arrival is altering the plot she once knew—and a certain charming vampire seems intent on complicating her plans even further.

    Summary

    When a nameless soul is torn from his world and thrust into the heart of Faerûn, he awakens not as a hero — but as an agent of corruption. Chosen by Graz'zt, the Dark Prince of Pleasure, he is given forbidden power: to conquer not by violence nor spells, but through irresistible lust. This is the story of Tav, the Blade That Binds — and the slow, ecstatic fall of Baldur’s Gate.

    Summary

    “Astarion, would you mind if I shared a memory from when we first met on the beach? You are part of that recollection, so it is not mine alone to decide.”

    Tav brings it to you first. When you see it, you agree.

    - - -

    Through your eyes:
    “I am not omniscient, I’ve simply… seen all of this before,” she spins on her heel with her arms out, gesturing to your surroundings.

    Through your voice:
    “You expect me to believe you are some sort of time traveller, as opposed to a psychic brain witch hellbent on gaining my trust?”

    - - -

    “You can choose what you’d like to believe, warlock,” Tav looks at Wyll pensively. “Either I have foreseen a thousand futures, or I have lived a thousand lives.”

    Summary

    “I am going to die,” Gale whispers into the darkness, then again, directly at her sleeping form. “I truly am going to die.”

    The words don’t feel quite real as they linger in the air. He shifts closer and rests his hand on the warm curve of her cheek.

    “Tell me that we will find another way. You never stopped believing we could fix this, even when I thought I had exhausted every other possibility. Say that you can— please.”

    He’d bore witness to the miracles she could perform first hand: commanding a devil to fall on his own sword, pulling an undead dragon from the sky, burning the very God of Death to cinders– why would it be such a foolish thing to hope she could stop this as well?

    He leans closer, stopping but a breath from her face.

    "I can't do it. I'm not ready."

    Summary

    In the brutal world of the Baldur's Games, 24 tributes are chosen to fight to the death, and only one will survive. Nisha, selected for the 79th Games, has fought to stay alive her entire life—but now she faces a challenge that may very well be her end. Her mentor, Astarion, a charismatic winner of the 69th games, trains her in a brutal strategy: win the audience's favor to secure sponsorship, but show no mercy in the arena. He urges Nisha to eliminate her rivals early, never trust anyone, and never hesitate to kill.

    As the Games approach, Nisha struggles with past and present feelings for Astarion, but he seems to have forgotten her. In a world where survival means sacrificing humanity, Nisha must decide if she really can do whatever it takes to survive. Will she outlast the bloodshed, or will the Games consume her—and everything she once was? The clock is ticking, and only one will emerge alive.

    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

    Tav is an Ilmateri monk with budding mastery of Ki, the spiritual energy that flows through all things. Astarion is a cornered animal, stuck oscillating between fight, flight, and fawn.

    Against Tav's better judgment, he becomes obsessed with a bright note in Astarion's Ki, betraying his relentless will to live.

    Halsin and Tav are kindred souls, both with pain that is sometimes too big to hold. Their relationship blooms where nothing else grows: Halsin's cursed homeland, for which Tav's understanding of Ki may prove the final piece of the puzzle Halsin needs to lift the curse. They become pillars of safety in Astarion's life as he learns to survive in a world not designed to make him suffer.

    Astarion feels safest reclaiming his body if he has complete control over Tav's. Tav is more than willing to please. Halsin is eager to perform whatever role is needed of him.

    Generally canon compliant/adjacent. Lots of angst, hurt/comfort, sex, healing, and happy endings. Essentially that song you hear behind Astarion's tent on repeat in fanfic form.

    Summary

    A street-smart, musically inclined human girl with a tragic past gets abducted by a nautiloid after her painfully average shift at a retro singing diner. What's worse- putting your all into Olivia Newton-John and Travolta for lousy tips, or getting your guts ripped out by a gnoll? Or worse- getting turned into a hideous humanoid squid?

    Ofelia Montez will have to see if she can survive long enough to find out.

    Summary

    Rensaire is a runaway bard and gunslinger, drifting across the western lands of Faerûn with only fragments of his past and the songs of the road to guide him. Since the Nautiloid, his memories are scattered, selective—he knows only the freedom of travel, the thrill of performance, and the shadow of his own elusiveness. Wherever he goes, he can’t shake the feeling of being subtly out of place, the curious—or sometimes wary—glances of strangers, and the unsettling stare of a certain vampire who seems to recognize something he doesn’t.

    Something whispers at the edges of his consciousness, a premonition not of his own danger, but of a storm coming for those around him. As he navigates friendship, loyalty, and the intoxicating call of adventure, Rensaire begins to wonder: did he leave a mistake behind, or is the world itself conspiring to remind him that some memories refuse to stay buried?

    (Note: Canon Timeline has been adjusted a wee bit to make everything flow better. Trust me, I did way too much math for this. It exhausted me. Read it :3)
