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
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
After an enormous avalanche separates Tav from her party, Karlach finds her. Or at least, Tav thinks it's Karlach, at first. But her Karlach smells like cinnamon and smoke, and this Karlach reeks of blood... still, she sounds, looks, and even feels just like her real lover. They just fought a bunch of cultists, after all; she's bound to smell like blood. Why wouldn't she relax, now that Karlach is here?

Summary
Astarion is just beginning to really settle into his relationship with Gale, enjoying the freedoms of the tadpole, and maybe even beginning to accept that the others of the party aren't keeping him around purely for convenience. Un-life has never been better. That is, until a night at a tavern goes horribly wrong.

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
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.

A GIG AGG G A J GA I WANT THEM DEAD
Astarion, after draining Jaheira’s OCs of more blood than he should and probably committing other acts of mischief in the name of petty vengeance because she did indeed speak of tortoises: “Oh, who’s to say that was me? You know, recently I’ve been hearing rumors of bloodthirsty turtles. And kleptomaniac tortoises. Bizarre, isn’t it?”
Or something. He would make it a PROBLEM if she did say anything lmfao 😭😭

Summary
Back at it again at the Krispie Kreme, Avernus version.
Karlach is trapped here, fighting every day in this horrible literal hell pit. But this time, she isn’t alone! Astarion and Wyll are here! But… gods, maybe that is making this shit worse, instead of better? Astarion keeps getting injured in battles, and Karlach doesn't feel any less guilty about things when he repeatedly says he's fine, he was tortured all the time before, it’s nothing to him, look how fast he heals.
Karlach was already scared she had brought him to Avernus only for him to die, instead of getting to enjoy his new free life, then today he managed to fall into a pit of lava during a battle. They fish him out, but now Karlach has to deal with protecting a badly burnt and feetless vampire on top of all of the other horrors of the hells.
And he won’t stop making jokes about the situation long enough for her to fucking think! ARGH!!!
-or-
Astarion gets horrifically injured but is more worried about making sure Karlach isn’t sad about it.

Summary
Astarion wants Gale by his side forever. He wants him to be his spawn, his perfect, magically power hungry wizard by his side but doesn't understand why Gale refuses to become the man he'd been before he returned the crown to Mystra. He'd be happier, they'd be happier.
Gale wants to be anything but Astarion's consort, yet agrees for the sake of the poor souls that might be subjected to the vampires whims. After all, he couldn't ever come to love and care for the man Astarion has become. Could he?
