Summary
It goes something like this: Astarion wakes up flat in the dirt, hands tied behind his back, bleeding. His head aches.
Wyll stands over him, uncharacteristically scared. "Astarion," he says, fast and frantic. "Are you back to yourself?"
There are two puncture wounds on his neck.
(It goes something like this: Astarion wakes up. The party says he attacked them. He does not remember this.)

Summary
Marcus holds the goblet up, still stinking with klauthgrass, and ponders them, clutched in the wretched claws of his undead monsters. "Well," he says, and smiles. "If you will not willingly drink it, I have a manner of encouragement."
And then he raises his dagger, pricks his own wrist until scarlet pools over his pale skin, and lets blood drip into the goblet.
Before he can help it, Astarion stiffens.
Astarion has spent two hundred years with truth as a bitter enemy. Fitting, then, that his choice to say it is taken from him.

Summary

Astarion has not been a person in two hundred years. His journey to become one does not start off well.

Summary
Disciple Z'rell doesn't look at him. She doesn't have to.
These people are heroes, her tadpole hisses, though her face stays blank and apathetic. They do not serve. But you? I could believe it.
Astarion swallows. The shrieking animal in his chest flinches back. You could?
I could. Z'rell drags her gaze over the assembled party, over five perfect, star-wrought heroes. If you prove it.
Astarion kills Karlach.
Things do not get better from there.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku is having a terrible day. He’s told to take a swan dive off of a roof, nearly suffocated by a villain, told he couldn’t be a hero by his favorite hero of all people - and all of that’s before he gets kidnapped by a giant, tentacled ship flying through the sky and has a worm put into his brain alongside a hero who tried to save him.
What in the hell is a quirkless kid supposed to do in this situation? The only thing he can, he supposes - try his best.
OR: A Baldur's Gate 3/My Hero Academia crossover wherein Midoriya and Aizawa are taken by the Mind Flayer ship as it attempts to flee the githyanki and both wind up in the middle of a plot concocted by an evil, terrifying cult. Midoriya wants to help, Aizawa wants Midoriya to stop running headfirst into danger, and everyone who meets them wants to know what the hell an All Might is.

Summary
Karlach's been doing great since becoming one of the new heroes of Baldur's Gate, thanks. Sure, it's been, uh, literal Hell living in Avernus, but hey, at least this time it's of her own volition! And she's SO close to finding a way to resolve that little issue with her Infernal Engine for a heart.
But, you know what she didn't anticipate? The fucking horse-drawn carriage that bowled her over and sent her to gods-damned high school.
or
The author looked at Twisted Wonderland and thought 'yeah, this is great, but there's not enough Karlach in it.' You know, like a normal, well-adjusted person does.
Knowledge of both Twisted-Wonderland and Baldur's Gate 3 recommended for best reading experience.

Summary
They claw toward love like it’s a promise—tattered, trembling, and already slipping through their fingers.
The exiled saint, hiding wounds she never let heal. The rebel forged in fire, burning too bright to hold. The broken predator, desperate for redemption he doesn’t believe he deserves. And the beast in silk and shadow, trembling beneath the weight of what she’s becoming.
They bleed, break, and stumble through ruin, haunted by gods, memories, and monsters that wear familiar faces. Every step forward cuts a little deeper. Every moment of hope is just another way to hurt.
But me? Oh, I’m simply watching.
So much yearning. So much pain.
And in the end?
She still belongs to me.

Summary
Holly Lily Potter had been through a lot in her short life; dark lords, not-so-evil godfathers, dragons. But her fifth year might just break her. With her temper was more volatile than ever, Dumbledore keeping his distance from her, and Umbridge in general was slowly suffocating her with her rules and punishments, it was only a matter of time before the final straw broke.
Desperate to escape, the little raven flew as far as she could, only to find herself stranded in a strange world, one far anything she had ever known. As the years passed, Holly carved a life for herself, but never stopped looking for a way home. That led her to getting kidnapped by weird squid people.
Now, she's the leader of a misfits who might be more be more broken then her. And for the first time in years, Holly wasn’t sure whether she was fighting to return home… or if she had finally found a place where she truly belonged. It doesn't help that a certain elf's in her party were making her feel different from anything she knew.

Summary
TL;DR - hey lets look at the BG3 story and expand out how Karlach and Astarion mighta become a couple.
Astarion and Karlach, at first glance these two companions couldn't be more different.
She's so open and loud and friendly and eager to do good. He's nothing like any of that.
But turns out, they have way more in common than either would have suspected.
Maybe a slight, sullen, suspicious vampire could use somebody who understands, but is nothing like him.
Even better if it turns out maybe she is a little bit like him.
