Summary
It's 2004. Oil is high, the dollar is cheap. The country is entering an era of abundance. A new store selling trendy European furniture has opened in Kazan, Russia. Wow! A hardened businessman and aspiring politician Enver Gortashev goes to IKEA to buy some new, modern furniture. He's accompanied by his best friend (or maybe more than that; criminal penalties for homosexuality have long been abolished; it's time for people to be more open!) and the leader of the burgeoning Absolut cult, Adam Bhaalov.

Summary
Reborn and unbound, The Dark Urge steps into a world that fears her legacy and questions her choices. Her powers have shifted, entwined with the cycles of life and death, as she embraces a new path that both terrifies and empowers her.
Guided by allies like the cunning Astarion and the steadfast Wyll, she learns that redemption is not given - it is earned. As she navigates moral labyrinths, confronts the Netherbrain, and faces Gortash once more, she must decide whether compassion, vengeance, or domination will shape her destiny.
In the ashes of the past, a new self must grow - and choose.
This is the second part of my series Shadows of Creation. It is not necessary to read the first part, but please consider checking it out if you like The Dark Urge/Gortash dynamic.

Summary
Detective Astarion Ancunin knows three things about The Collector: she's calculated, untouchable, and has been making his life hell for three years with her flawless heists and taunting calling cards. What he doesn't know is her real name, or why she kissed him like she meant it before vanishing into the night with a stolen necklace.
Octavia Fallguard knows three things about Detective Ancunin: he's relentless, devastatingly clever, and the biggest threat to the life she's made stealing for the crime syndicate that owns her debt. What she doesn't know is that the immunity papers he's offering are fake, or that the job requiring her to share the same space is about to become the most dangerous con of her life.
In the shadow-soaked streets of 1950s New York, two masters of deception are about to discover that the person they've been hunting—and running from—might be exactly what they've been searching for. But when you're built from lies and surviving on borrowed time, falling in love is the most reckless thing you can do.

Summary
"And then he was silent, head turned, eyes closed, parted lips bleeding slightly. He sighed, grabbed her still raised hand. And then he pressed it over his heart. 'Fine. I'll stop talking.'
She tried to pull her hand back but he gripped it tighter. When she tried to yank it free he jerked back and pulled her into his arms. "Enver this is—" But then he pressed his bloodied lips to her own and locked them tight and what might have been a protest was transformed into a soft hum as her body melded into him, relaxing, softening. Sedated."
After a demanding Bhaalist ritual leaves The Dark Urge reeling, she seeks comfort in her ally-turned-lover.
A "porn with plot" extra/alternate scene from my "Haunted One" story. Can be read without reading "Haunted One - Personify Me."

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

Summary
In Moonrise Towers, just hours before Orin’s betrayal, the Dark Urge prays to Bhaal for forgiveness. Looking back on her life, she feels only shame, not so certain she is to blame for every dark desire she has ever chased.
“Do you feel it?” she whispered, voice shredded. “Every time I breathe you in, He rots me more. Every time you touch me, I think maybe I’m alive, and then He reminds me I’m not. I’m dead, Enver. I’m fucking dead.”

Summary
When Scylla returned to Baldur's Gate, she had nothing but scars and fractured memories from the life she lived before. From the first footstep onto the paved street, she felt as though a tuning fork inside her had finally struck the right note. The reverberations of her quiet footfall on stone, the scent of the river insinuating itself into each breath… They were the keys to the cipher that her mind had become.
When the cipher led to Enver Gortash and a partnership that had changed the course of their lives, Scylla found herself forced to decide how far she would go to keep the love that had nearly destroyed her. Woven between her perspective of the events of Act III are Gortash's memories of the paths that led them to ruin - and the road that might lead them back out again.

Moonless Devotion: Claimed by Kings and Gods by Orianna_Dawnfyre
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
13 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
In the blood-soaked depths beneath Baldur's Gate, two chosen of allied Gods collide in a dance of desire and dominion.
Nelithral, the Daughter of Murder, has been Bhaal's perfect weapon-beautiful, deadly, and utterly alone. When Enver Gortash offers her something her father never has-choice and partnership-she dares to hope for freedom from the dark urges consuming her.
But Gortash's hunger for her is more than ambition; it burns with obsessive passion. In Nelithral, he sees his equal, his perfect match. Yet when he seeks Bane's blessing to claim her as his consort, his god reveals a different game entirely. Desire is twisted into a trial of faith and loyalty, and the blessing becomes a battle.
As Gods and mortals vie for power, Orin the Red watches from the shadows, her jealous devotion threatening to unravel everything.
What begins as alliance becomes deadly possession. Can two souls find salvation in each other's darkness, or will they be devoured by it?
***This is a prequel to my completed Fan Fic, "The Dark of the Moon"***

Summary
Enver Gortash has recently been meeting with Durge after many years apart, but they are struggling to find peace in their mind, to find any of the memories they shared beneath that. They're clearly still interested in him, but this isn't a problem that can be solved alone.
Durge recalls a priest of Loviatar, Abdirak, and how he helped them before - pain and punishment had brought about a sense of peace that they longed for, one that Enver knew in his heart should be possible by his hand alone. He agrees to pay the dark cleric for his services, and so the three find themselves in Gortash's chambers with an array of tools and a whole night to find a way through the shroud over Durge's memory.

If the desperation in his eyes and the heartbreak on his face hadn’t already been enough to break you, the tremble in his voice would have done it. And even without all that, how could you ever say no to this man? He who stood beside you as you discovered your lost self. He who remained beside you when you learned your cursed history. He who bound the knots of your restraints and stroked your hair through the night, even as you writhed and fought to end his life. He helped you gain your freedom from the damnation of your birth. How could you possibly deny helping him with his own freedom?
But, says a voice in your head, seven thousand souls.
