Summary
When Lana is abducted by large squid monsters and gains a large lizard man as a companion, she does her best to go with the flow. However, strange quirks and even stranger teammates keep upping the ante as they try to solve their parasite issue. She does her best to keep calm in this new world, trying to solve one problem at a time. Although, having the large lizard man hovering over your shoulder half the time could make things more difficult. And if she does find him cute, she can unpack that thought later.
Just a nice slow burn romance with the default Durge and a monk isekai'd Tav named Lana. What could go wrong?

Summary
Soulmate AU. Post-canon.
“Oh, an interesting thought just occurred to me,” Raphael said, gaze still on his nails. He curled his hand into the shape of a claw and then looked back up at the wizard. “How entertaining would it be to let you live free, never knowing when I would come to collect? The nervous anticipation, the crippling fear, the drowning anxiety…yes. Yes. Delicious.”
Or, Raphael comes to collect his dues when his cherished client and her husband fails to deliver the Crown of Karsus, but ends up with far more than he bargained for.

Baldur's Gate 3: Out of the Absolute's Shadows by Dianne_Crispus

Summary
This fanfiction novel was written in the alternating third person views of Vrak (The Dark Urge/OC) and Anari (my OC).
The novel takes off in the third person view of the Dark Urge as he discovers three things:
1) He has no memory of his past.
2) He's being held captive.
3) A sinister plot is brewing.Companions join Vrak, one by one, to overcome their calamity. Anari, a sorceress that had settled down from her days of adventuring, was ripped from the comforts of her home in Baldur's Gate, finding herself fighting her way back along side them.
Ages old secrets about Anari's family lineage reveal themselves and threaten to turn her world upside down the deeper they go. All while Vrak's Dark Urge threaten their lives as well as those around them.Warning: Gruesome imagery and explicit content may be unsettling for some readers.
Edit: Don't be alarmed! I changed the title from Baldur's Gate 3: A Fanfiction Novel to the one you see now. The previous title I felt was too cliche, but was all I had as I pondered what to name this. I thought I would pay homage to Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn, and voila! More shadows :)

Summary
When Rolim wakes up after the crash of the Nautiloid, he can hardly believe the reality he finds himself in.
The compulsions once forced upon him by Cazador are gone—and somehow, the sun no longer burns his skin.
But freedom comes with a price: an illithid tadpole now burrows through his grey matter and with it, a creeping loss of his vampiric strength and instincts.
He soon finds himself among a ragtag group of survivors, all infected, all searching for a cure. One of them stands out more than the rest: Astarion.
Handsome, sharp, and—unlike most—genuinely respectful of Rolim's boundaries. While Shadowheart hides her own secrets and Lae'zel simply doesn't care to ask, Astarion sees Rolim's need for space... and honors it.
As their journey twists deeper into uncertainty, a question begins to take shape:
What will become of them all when the fate they seek to change refuses to be rewritten?AU where Astarion is a 239 year old mortal elf and magistrate and Tav is the one under Cazador's thumb!
Have fun!Series

Together, Darius and Rolim find out what connection he has to the tiefling that lived and died over a century ago.
And in the process, Rolim, Astarion, and Darius form a friendship that eventually turns into more.Series

Summary
In which the Dark Urge is having a very rough first day, and meets Tav, who helps him while he searches for a name that feels his.
'Do you have a name?' was what they'd asked, though. Not 'What's your name', but 'Do you have a name'.Getting the word out felt impossible, but they waited patiently, and his mouth eventually caught up with his brain, the air leaving his lungs with a whispered, "No."
They almost laughed, he could tell, but it was a gentle thing. "The Feys won't get you, then. Although that's not exactly the immediate danger, I'm afraid." The hand they extended to him shone with endless golden rings. "I'm Natavriel. You can call me Tav, if you like."
The silver of his rings met the gold of theirs, and he worked the syllable out, slowly. "Tav."
"Let's get out of this place, yes? I'm sure we can find you some clothes on the way."
He nodded once more, only because this was so much easier than speaking.
"Come on," said Tav, gently tugging at his hand. "I really don't want to die here, it's way too ugly."

Summary
The underground chasm was as dark and dank as Durge had remembered it. His footsteps echoed in the shadow of the path that once laid open. It was no surprise, after all the nether brains damage to the city had been nearly cataclysmic. It’d be foolish to think the underground would have fared any better...A desire, a whim, a calculated risk, whatever it may have been, it led him down the path to where the Nether Brain once lay dormant, with two hundred gold pieces rattling in his pocket.

Summary
Alurlssrin: an unselfish, deep love
A short story about Bhaal’s favorite offspring and one of his lovers, who were rare and few in-between, before the catastrophic events of the main game — a drow priestess of Eilistraee who, against her better judgment, falls in love with the strange man.
***
Just a little thought I had and thought I might as well write it. First five parts are pre-game, playing loosely with d&d elements, a few original characters so if you don’t like that, then, well, now you know. Mostly revolves around Durge and Nizara (Tav). After that, we’re with the tadfools.
Anyway, I love love stories, so here we are 🤧

Summary
"The seats of the heavens shall shudder and break,
The thrones of the hells shall crack and shake.
Through orb’s shadow and crown’s flame, balance is spun—
The Chosen work unseen, and the new age is begun.So sayeth the wise Alaundo."
---
Before Moonshadow, God of the Eclipse, there was Vesper; A half-drow "child" of Bhaal destined to end divinity with the Chosen of Bane at his side.
That was, until his beloved half-sister (thankfully) divested him of his Chosen mantle (rather violently) and set in motion the events that would ultimately lead Vesper to Gale Dekarios, a charming wizard who claimed his heart (almost instantly).
In this collection of one-shots, follow Ves as he, Gale and their companions set out to find a cure for their parasites as well as uncovering the hidden depths of the Cult of the Absolute that holds the key to Ves' shadowed past.
WARNING: This is a Resist!Durge fic, but even so there will be lots of violence, blood, gore and bouts of madness.
<> Blood in Baldur's Gate and Shadows of Athkatla chapters included <>

Summary
There's a thousand worlds where he wakes up in that pod, a second chance given to the son of the devil.
There's a million more where she wakes up instead, a nobody thrust into the role of the hero.
There's infinite more where neither of them wake up in that pod, their stories dead and already being forgotten.
There are no worlds where both undergo the journey for Baldur's Gate. It's either the demon or the nobody or neither. That much, at least, is written in stone.
Luckily, prophecies are made in the stars.
