Summary
In a world where magic has faded into history, modern life carries on — phones, cars, city lights — but elves still live for centuries, tieflings still turn heads, and drow still carry the weight of their past. The Weave faded long ago, leaving only history, old books, and creatures who remember. Vampires walk among the living, sustained by science and haunted by memory.
It starts at a corporate party — a guessing game, a wager, a single spark in a room full of strangers. He’s a vampire who hides behind charm; they’re a drow who hides behind mystery. Neither planned to care. But in the quiet moments between the noise, something begins to shift — and the moment it does, everything gets complicated.

Summary
Deth (The Dark Urge) and Astarion are navigating love the only way they know how: messily. In between bickering over battlefield mishaps, stealing from unsuspecting merchants, and trying not to incinerate each other mid-argument, the bond between them deepens — one flirt, one wound, one confession at a time. Because sometimes love isn’t a sudden thing. Sometimes, it’s slow — and quietly, hopelessly inevitable.

Summary
This is a series of pieces that expand the game plot of Baldur's Gate 3 and focus on the relationship between Deth (The Dark Urge) and Astarion. Each part is a separate complete piece — you will find no cliffhangers there. But all of the pieces are parts of one big story — a story about love, acceptance, finding safety and choosing each other over and over again.
