    Summary

    Tav—ferocious leader, potential savior of or possible doom-bringer to Baldur’s Gate—gets replaced by an earthling, who barely holds it together when she realizes she’s trapped inside a game. The story starts in Act 1 when all companions have already been recruited, and the party has established a well-working command structure. But with Tav acting so weird, chaos erupts among the companions, turning the journey into a sequence of strange encounters and creative ways of problem-solving.

    Or a different form of coming-of-age story as in how a simple teacher learns to become a leader.

    Comments are very much appreciated :-)

    Summary

    Luna, a high-elf with magic at her fingertips just as fiery as her hair, has so far lived a sheltered life controlled by her father, who has recently sold away her hand in marriage to a wealthy but horribly abusive man. Just as she is beginning to feel as if her time is running out to ever escape the hellish reality her life has become, a nautiloid flies over Baldur’s Gate.
    Unsure if she wants to return home to save her father from a lifetime of debt or use this tadpoled opportunity to run away forever, Luna finds herself falling into yet another predicament along the way: in love with a manipulative vampire.

     
    - An in-depth retelling of the “in-between,” with more focus on interpersonal relationships than rehashing events that already play out in the game.

    - Written in first-person, diary-style POV to more realistically explore Luna’s feelings about Astarion’s deception.

    Summary

    Willow would have been his consort, but what she really wanted to be was his wife. Either way, she would have been his doting partner, picking out paint colors and party favors behind the scenes. She would have been anything for him, done anything for him.
    As long as it was her choice to do it in the end.
    The only thing Willow didn’t want to be was his spawn. And months ago, that was the dealbreaker.

    TLDR: After the fall of the Netherbrain and the end of her relationship with the Vampire Ascendant, Willow still wants a family. Astarion still wants her back.

    Summary

    Tav is an Ilmateri monk with budding mastery of Ki, the spiritual energy that flows through all things. Astarion is a cornered animal, stuck oscillating between fight, flight, and fawn.

    Against Tav's better judgment, he becomes obsessed with a bright note in Astarion's Ki, betraying his relentless will to live.

    Halsin and Tav are kindred souls, both with pain that is sometimes too big to hold. Their relationship blooms where nothing else grows: Halsin's cursed homeland, for which Tav's understanding of Ki may prove the final piece of the puzzle Halsin needs to lift the curse. They become pillars of safety in Astarion's life as he learns to survive in a world not designed to make him suffer.

    Astarion feels safest reclaiming his body if he has complete control over Tav's. Tav is more than willing to please. Halsin is eager to perform whatever role is needed of him.

    Generally canon compliant/adjacent (edit: more adjacent). Lots of angst, hurt/comfort, sex, healing, and happy endings. Essentially that song you hear behind Astarion's tent on repeat in fanfic form.
