Summary
Spoilers for Dark Urge. Takes place approximately 10 years before the events in Baldur's Gate 3.
In the darkness of the blood they share, two brothers try to build a bond strong enough to escape its influence.
Omdura has closed himself off emotionally. Condemned to death by drow society for flouting Lolth and living his true self as a man, he found solace with the Seldarine before losing everything to the curse of his heritage. They have since learned to live alongside their Urge, but it is a life lived for survival’s sake and little more. He learns of a half-brother who has refused to give in to his Urge, and at his father's behest is sent to break him.
Kieran is a paladin of Lathander held captive in the former home of his faith, refusing to break his oath and give in to the dark priests that have overtaken the temple. He has lived under their thumb for years without knowing why; tortured and deprived of affection, freedom, and even the sun, he is broken and prays only for his ordeal to end. When Omdura arrives, he wonders if their arrival means death, hope, or both.
Third-person POV. Dark Urge - Omdura (He/They) & Kieran (He/Him). Hurt/Comfort. Contains depictions of torture and violence.

Summary
(I recommend reading Part 1 first, it's a one-shot)
After the Last World War nearly wiped out life on earth on a century ago, the remaining humans have formed factions and claimed territory in the ruined wasteland. But when the Alliance base Terra Nova continues to get swarmed night after night by husks, Commander Shepard and Lieutenant Alenko decide to investigate what exactly is going on. It leads to discoveries bigger and more terrifying than either of them imagined

Summary
After the Battle of the Citadel, the Alliance calls the Normandy home to Vancouver to face an inquest. Things get...complicated. On every possible level. Especially when Kaidan discovers an unfortunate misunderstanding with his parents.
~
“Have to admit though,” Shepard says, swallowing the rest of his shot, “I’ve been called a lot worse things than your boyfriend.”
Kaidan blinks. The whiskey’s definitely caught up to him. It’s warm in here, and he has to have imagined what just came out of Shepard’s mouth. “Really.”
“Compared to getting shot at and having an inquest shoved up my ass? I’m pretty sure holding your hand, going home with you and eating your mom’s risotto is a considerable improvement, yes.”
Kaidan laughs. Or tries to. It comes out as more of a hoarse squawk. “Sure, I’ll just avoid this whole mess by bringing you home with me. They’ll never have to know.”
“Maybe they don’t,” Shepard says, and Kaidan nearly chokes.

Summary
When the battle is over and the war is won, the soldier puts down his gun and returns to the life he had before; a life of peace and remembrance. But what happens to those who can't let go? Whose peace never comes and whose remembrance brings only pain and suffering?
Shepard struggles to regain his sense of personhood after years of constant warfare, his life irreparably damaged by what he saw and did. But all is not lost-- not when he has the strength to ask for help.

Summary
"When Ignis’ fingers fail him as they trace, haltingly, across the raised bumps and dots, turning letters into other letters or losing the thread of a sentence, when he wants to quit, Gladio takes up the slack. He finds the passage in his own book, and his rich voice fills the room, weaving stories and characters and life and death.
Slowly, Ignis’ fingers fail him less and less – but Gladio reads aloud more and more."
After a car accident takes Ignis' eyesight, Gladio moves into his apartment and helps him learn to adjust.
