Summary
Vengeance. This was what had led her back to Baldur's Gate. But it had been denied to her when she found herself on a Nautiloid only moments later, destined to stumble into a journey that would change everything. So far, things went well. The parasite in her skull proved useful, and the chance of surviving all the madness and returning to the city grew ever closer. But then she enters a cursed land, and its shadows haunt her. And as if that were not enough, she finds herself trapped in the leader's position, surrounded by conflicts with her companions and caught up in an affair she should rather avoid.

The Silver Lining's I'll be there with You by Ari_or_starlight

Summary
This story begins and ends with death, and you know that. You feel arms around you, the darkness all consuming. There’s ringing in your ears, a thrumming in your veins like something else is beside you. You think you hear begging, pleading, perhaps the whimpering of tears being shed, and you wonder why you can’t see them. Below you, the ground is cool, damp, yet sticky, like something other than water pools beneath you.
You hear another voice, clearer to you, unlike that of what you can only assume is family, or friends, or lovers, or mere companions beside you begging for you to get up. It’s shaky, yet stern, like the hum of life itself is within it. It sends chills down your body, and threatens to jolt you out of existence altogether.
“So, rise, Challenger of Gods, and prepare for battle once more.”
Death will not claim thee.----
A complete rewrite of Baldur's Gate as Durge inspired by my own game. Please enjoy me refusing to let my beloveds go. -

Summary
Halsin has every reason to hate Drow. From his time in the Underdark to Minthara’s “hospitality” at the goblin camp, they’ve brought him nothing but pain. So imagine his surprise—and confusion—when his savior from said camp is none other than a Drow. He tries to be civil, he really does. After all, she’s not quite like the others. She’s not sadistic, conniving, or bloodthirsty like those he’s known. Logically, he knows she had nothing to do with what happened to him all those years ago—but trust is harder to build than resentment.
Vyssira is nothing if not a survivor. She survived Menzoberranzan. She survived her parents’ cruelty. She survived Baldur’s Gate. And when everything was taken from her again and again, she survived that too. Now, with a mind flayer tadpole in her skull and a ticking clock toward ceremorphosis, she has no choice but to rely on others who share her fate—and a druid who wants nothing to do with her. Maybe, this time, survival could mean healing too.
AKA the super self-indulgent enemies to lovers character study about Halsin and his feelings towards drow, because I don't see it getting explored as much as it should. Be the change you want to see in the world, kids.

The Last of the Silverboughs by mt-musings (Stillmarauding), Stillmarauding

Summary
Halsin struggles to put his past to rest, but it's haunting him in more ways than he realizes. He'd thought his time in the Underdark was long behind him, an unpleasant pitfall of youthful hubris, but remnants of his captivity remain, the youngest of which unwittingly stumbles to his rescue.
Lythra can't stop running from her past--hasn't, since she managed to make it out of the Underdark. She has no love for Menzoberranzan, or her House, or anything she left behind in the dark. Or nearly anything.
Still, she'd rather die than return--a prospect all the more likely with a tadpole jammed behind her eye. But perhaps, with the help of a renown druidic healer, she can go back to what remains of her half-life in the sun.

Summary
Quando Astarion si sveglia, l'odore nauseante di mollusco bruciato della Nave Nautiloide è ormai distante. Reso prigioniero da un gruppetto di Goblin, scagnozzi dell'Assoluto, viene lasciato a marcire all'angolo di una cella, un orso come unico compagno.
Mentre la fame galoppa, le ore passano e i pensieri lo attanagliano, Astarion pensa che è proprio una misera fine.
L'orso, tuttavia, potrebbe non essere esattamente ciò che dimostra essere. -

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
Martyrdom was always in the cards for her, but she never considered the complications that might arise from giving herself so fully, so deeply, so truly to the cause. Foxglove always knew she would die for Him, but to live? Living is harder.

.
or, a War cleric of Ilmater struggles through a new quest when she awakens, infected, on an illithid nautiloid. At first, she only sought to heal her allies - and herself, secondarily - but the plot thickens, the gods watch, and the way forward gets murkier every day in the shadow of an Archdruid and the light of love burning bright enough to rival Ilmater's halo.

(give this story a shot if you like: character study, a strong main character with a journey of her own, world-building and Faerun lore, complex moral choices, fantasy religious themes without the real-world prejudice, found family, and Halsin (duh). bonus points if you can wait through a canon-typical sloooooow burn leading up to more sex than you get in the game (lmao)) -

Summary
Learning that his ex-wife is infected with an illithid brain-worm, Raphael can't help but be a total jerk about it. And of course, what better way to try and reignite the spark than invite her to a private den within a brothel?
Ingrid Thomas has no intentions of letting her annoyingly charming ex-husband derail her mission to destroy the Netherbrain and protect her found family from an untimely illithid demise. Unfortunately, there was a reason she fell in love with him, and he's doing his damndest to remind her at every turn.
All the while, the ragtag group of companions have to tolerate watching their adopted mother fight like an old married couple with the insufferable devil attempting to trick her into signing away her soul.

An ongoing work in progress…

Summary
The bite was just a nip, a careful insertion of fangs that Halsin was used to. The quick, cold pain was no stranger, and as Astarion was careful, it was nothing significant. Honestly, had received worse bites from Scratch on accident than this. He felt Astarion shiver as his Heart slightly removed his fangs to start lapping at the welling blood. It was an odd thing, feeling one’s blood leave their body, but to Halsin, it brought him comfort in moments like this.
By the stars, how Halsin enjoyed this. This exchanged warmth, and not just in the physical sense. In this room, it was just them, only them.
[OR]
The journey of Halsin meeting Astarion, learning who he is as a person throughout the game, and discovering how much he loves him. And is loved in turn.

As the series unfolds, they confront the ghosts of their pasts, learn to lean on each other, and slowly transform from allies into lovers.
