Summary
The relentless onslaught wore him out, his muscles raw, his innards still aching for more. He craved reprieve from it, a solace, or something — anything — to sate it, to head it off, to control it before it controlled him.
He would find it in a tucked-away druid grove: a man who’d jumped to their rescue, a hero who saved their hide from the goblin raid.

Summary
“It’s a very old joke with a very cruel punchline: a vampire walks into a PI’s office and says oh, detective, I’m afraid for my life.”
Murder in Baldur’s Gate; an exile returned home; a hunter gone to ground, and a killer with a plan.
As a string of disappearances threatens the city, a group of strangers find themselves caught between lethal powers. Left without options, they’re forced to rely on one another for safety — and, in the end, for everything.

Summary
“I take it that bard wasn't your first.” He saw them flinch. Their knuckles turned white where they gripped the fabric of their pants.
Their silence was the only answer he needed. The guilt weighed heavily on them, anyone could see it. He couldn't believe the others actually believed them when they said they didn't do it. And, oh, was that corpse brutalized. Far beyond what was necessary for her death. No, they – whatever part of them it was – enjoyed it.
They were quite the puzzle, for someone who cared about solving that sort of thing. All the parts of them seemed to clash, mixed together into a slurry of a mind that couldn't decide what it wanted to be. The naive murderer, the mad idealist – all of it got lost to the chaos in their head.
It was all the easier to control a person that didn't know who they were.
Dark urge's adventures with love and worms.

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.

Summary
You are ULDER RAVENGARD.
Your son is completely besotted with his fiancé, but you can’t figure out the appeal. He’s spoiled, and petty, and seems chiefly concerned with draining the Ravengard coffers. You are, frankly, at your wits’ fucking end.
Surely the only solution is to declare an INSANE SECRET WAR on him before he can ruin the MIDWINTER'S EVE BALL. This cannot possibly backfire.
[A choose-your-own-adventure Astarion son-in-law simulator. Happy Holidays! Or possibly the opposite of that.]

Summary
Wyll’s leaned up against the farm fence in the distance, watching Astarion flutter and flirt. His mouth is a thin line.
“We’ll give lust a try,” Dorothea says blandly. “Let’s see what you do with it.”
(Or: Astarion seduces the Dark Urge. Wyll watches with increasing concern.)

Summary
Kira doesn't soften. "I'm going to be worse if you won't let him stay."
A short sigh, through the nose. More of a huff, really. "We cannot keep a vampire."
"Amphesia, he asked for help! That's what we do! I can't—I can't believe you!" Her voice strangles, and she sounds uncomfortably close to tears. Over him. "I know it's a risk, gods, I know it is, but who are we if we don't take it?"
--
Astarion did have a plan to flee his Master. He'd take some gold and run for a merchant city and make a new, luxurious life for himself.Despite that, he ends up at the Circle of Calm Waters, surrounded by druids.

Summary
Gale woke to shrill screaming.
His first reaction was annoyance. He was used to sleeping in a soft bed in his tower, and this was the fifth night in a row he was sleeping on a bedroll in the dirt. His back had never felt worse.
Then his half-asleep brain caught up to the fact that someone was screaming, and he scrambled out of his tent.
(in which the party does not sleep through the brutal murder attempt in the middle of camp.)

Summary
In the modern world of Toril, magic and devils and the like are believed to be relics of the distant past. But 34-year-old Wyll Ravengard knows all too well that these things still lurk in the corners of his own city, Baldur’s Gate, where he fights every day in the arena of the courtroom for his clients who have no one else by their side. One mundane morning, he meets one of his semi-regulars in lockup, Astarion Ancunín, a rare elf remaining in this world. What seems like one of Astarion’s usual street-level run-ins with the law explodes into something much more—something touching the highest levels of the city-state’s government and infernal planes beyond. Wyll struggles against the forces in and out of the system that wish to use Astarion, and at the same time contends with his own long-sleeping pact with a higher power which will lead him and Astarion on a journey far beyond the familiar confines of the Gate.
