Summary
Being a new parent looks different for everyone; raising twins are tough. Lae'zel and Shadowheart struggle learning the ropes of parenting all while outrunning memories of things they'd rather not remember. With no one to teach them how, they must rely on each other and on friends to move through this new phase of life.
Good thing Karlach is definitely the best doctor in all of Faerûn and knows just how to cure these two struggling Mamas.

One Day: Drowned in the Bitch Queen’s Name by WaterdeepWine

Summary
The Tiefling looked around the same age as Theo - eighteen or nineteen - but she was striking; six feet tall with wild black hair pulled up in a knot, and skin the colour of wine. The kind of street-built muscle that you would only find in a bare-knuckle boxer or brawler, and as she smiled, Theo noticed the jagged line of a split lip.
“Uh.” Theo reached for the glass of whisky but somehow punched it, sending it spinning. Shit, she thought, averting her gaze.
The Tiefling caught the glass before it toppled off the bar. "Hey, I'm Karlach."
A/N
Drowned is a Baldur's Gate 3 and Tav / Karlach romance, told in the style of ONE DAY (the book by David Nicholls) which takes place on the same day across several years.
It explores the idea that the fates of our favourite pack of misfits/heroes from Baldur's Gate have been bound for much longer than just the BG3 story, and their paths crossed long before that. It'll feature canon prequel events like The Cult of the Dragon and Gortash's rise to power.
It'll span 8 years from 1485 DR to 1493 DR (the year after the Netherbrain was destroyed). Also, Bard Tav!

Summary
Echolocation, the location of objects by reflected sound, A gift from Mother Gith after Mindflayers stole her children's vision all those thousands of years ago.
It's a superior way of seeing according to Lae'zel. She's not blind! Her ears see just fine. Getting lost in the rain shows her a different reality, one which shatters her confidence and everything she thought she knew about herself. All Karlach wants is to knock some sense into her, for Lae'zel to let go of her stubborn pride and ego. Just accept some help, girl! It won't kill ya!

Summary
The heroes of Baldur's Gate enjoy a time of peace after the defeat of the Absolute. Up until one of them returns to the city in the dead of the night, injured and near death after a Vampire attack.
There only seems to be one possible suspect and none of the others are going to let him get away with this.
Astarion meanwhile is just disappointing that they'd think he would do something this sloppy.

Summary
Astarion hated being alone. He didn't like to admit it to himself, but he was actually dependent on others. Which would have been a nice thought if he wasn't so incredibly afraid of it.

Summary
Communal bathing has become somewhat of a group bonding activity for the party. Getting lean after a land day of sweating and bleeding is always better with company, after all. Amnesia comes with the perks of having no shame and its slowly rubbing off on Durge's companions. He asks Gale weird questions, and Gale asks weird questions back.
Durge asks Gale what being trans is. Gale asks to see his dick (on accident, somehow). Karlach laughs at him.

A Little Too Much - Whumptober 2024 Day 8, 26 and 29 by ElementalWinter

Summary
Exhaustion had been lying heavy across their shoulders for hours now. Trying to focus their mind into detecting arcane energy was proving... more difficult than it should be. They were beginning to worry the group was noticing, but there was nothing they could do. They hadn't slept, hadn't had the chance to take a break in... they couldn't remember.
...
The creature was hardly more than a blob of flesh held together by dangling ligaments and emitting such a strong scent of decay that Tav had to physically stop themself from recoiling. Atop the creature's head perched what might have been ears, almost cat-like in appearance, and they twitched as the creature's whole form shifted to the side as if tilting its head in question. Three beady eyes stared down at Tav, as if judging them.Whumptober Day 8: SLEEP DEPRIVATION

Summary
Karlach catches Orin's thug trying to steal Yenna, with the camp responding to protect and comfort the girl.
"While Tav was fairly used to nighttime disruptions, the screams of a child were a new and extremely unsettling addition to the usual noise of cussing and clashing blades. It set the camp to moving faster than when Astarion’s spawn siblings set upon them in the night, Tav included. They’d never grabbed their blades faster, had magic crackling at their fingertips sooner.
It was Karlach who was at Yenna’s side first, her bare hands clenched around a shapeshifter’s throat, currently in the form of Lae’Zel. A confusing sight to the rest of the camp, though the explanation became clear as the real Gith charged up from her tent - half dressed for bed and spitting profanities. "-

"Wyll. That's the most foolish thing I've ever fucking heard."

Summary
What will happen if we will move all the heroes of the Baldur's Gate (and the villains!) into the high-school setting? Pure chaos!
Tav is a new student in Baldur's High and this is the *third* high school that she is attending this year, full of hope that this time she will not be kicked out at the start for something stupid. But very quickly she finds herself involved in a drama that may end up with her being expelled again. (And possibly, later on, being murdered by her deeply annoyed, hard-working single mum).
Thankfully, she quickly makes new friends: the captain of the volleyball team - Karlach; the school nerd simping over their magic teacher - Gale; Astarion, the drama kid; Wyll, the son of the school principal and Shadowheart, the local goth girl. With them and with teachers like Jaheira, Halsin, Mr Withers, Mr Thorm and the mysterious Mr Emperor, Tav will try to find her way to survive in the high school and to deal with her extremely problematic crush on the local bad boy, Enver Gortash.

Didst Thou Think Thou Would Stand Alone? by DungeonsAndDAAAAAMN

Summary

Summary
The fight in the Grymforge didn't go as well as everyone had hoped. The party has a few reckless decisions on Tav's end to blame for that, but he pays the price for his impulsiveness. Their resident sorcerer and cleric go down and return to camp to rest, leaving Astarion and Karlach to talk.
(Somewhat inspired by events from my first playthrough!)
