Summary
(part of a series but is a stand alone work - that's just to keep everything together)
Following Elorin the kind-hearted drow sorcerer through the events of Baldur's Gate 3 as he collects some extra companions. He's desperately trying to leave his past behind him, but it's hard when he's trying to save everyone - especially a deep gnome who knows the drow all too well, a drider he has far too much in common with, and a worshipper of pain he just can't get out of his head.

Summary
Abdirak rescued He Who Was from the Shadow-Cursed Lands, but he has not yet been saved. His mind still teeters upon the precipice, and he remains infected with emotions. Abdirak takes it upon himself to help guide He Who Was to whatever his new normal is to become, though perhaps this is not simply altruism but also part of a ploy to ignore some problems of his own...

Incredible character writing and awesome lore, mixed with a great mystery story. Sad to get to the end but it was perfectly paced.

Summary
Bhaal created The Urge, took everything he gave her after she rejected him, and in the moment before being plucked from the afterlife, she saw her most vivid memories flash before her eyes:
A violent childhood.
A lustful yet troubled relationship with Orin the Red.
And the priest of Loviatar who brought her clarity.
Murder forged her chains, but pain will break them

For Being a Dogmatic Motherfucker, He Sure is Prone to Chaos by BeaIndulgent
Fandoms: Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader (Video Game), Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

Summary
I bought Rogue Trader for the kinky Drukhari and stayed for the grimdark lore. In spite of having, like, eight seconds of dialogue in a completely different game, Abdirak (the other kinky man who lives in my head rent free) is there too. I present to you the result of extensive maladaptive daydreaming and irreverent liberties with the parts of canon that I find incongruous, lacking, or boring. I am also, perhaps, a little too fascinated by mechanisms and implications of xenobiology in ways I didn't expect from myself.
As for the narrative, in a nutshell, this is a story about a staunchly dogmatic Rogue Trader and what it would take for him to break to the point of seeking solace in the embrace of a Drukhari.

The Book of Loviatar - Stories of Delicious Agony by Tavylia_Sin
Fandom Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
19 Jun 2025
Summary
This series collects my main Abdirak works, mostly in the first six parts that feature the relationships that he forms with He Who Was, they sadomasochistic Shadar-Kai from Act 2. Do the two ever meet in game? Not for a second. But they *should* have met, they're perfect together, and if you're willing to embark on this 6 part journey with me I'll show you why~
The other two parts are a little different. The first is an Abdirak x Reader work written as a love letter to those others like me who experience chronic pain and find comfort in how the Loviatan speaks of pain as worship, and how some pain may alleviate suffering. The second is a short piece of Abdirak explaining how his practice can help people, with Wyll learning a great deal from the unusual cleric.
