    Summary

    [You don't need to know Baldur's Gate 3 to enjoy this. It might read even better if you don't. But: It contains spoilers the way tea contains liquid.]
    A female 28yo human with normal life, job to go to, no outstanding skills, but a bunch of insecurities, is the only unlucky to be infected with an alien larva set to overwrite her mind and body within days. Driving her desperate quest to find a cure amidst battling memory loss and brain damage, alone, except for one friend, she overthinks everything, trying to do the right thing. Trust doesn't come easy, and deciding who to rely on becomes a battle in itself.
    Instead of game's original companions, I took inspiration in individuals and organizations from my real life. If you recognize yourself here: take it as a compliment. I wrote this story because while playing I went through a storm of emotions and needed to put it into words. (Yes, it gets a bit emotional at times). I wanted to capture what it feels like when you have only one chance to decide. No saving, no reloading, no perfect outcome.
    Game's side characters also appear; some are examined in depth, because their actions gave me no peace for months.

    Summary

    Some cities are built on faith.
    Baldur’s Gate is built on the bones of those who lost it.

    When Tavora Riggis, disgraced investigative journalist, gets fired for speaking a little too much truth in the wrong conference room, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom. Two months of unpaid rent, a crumbling career, and one eviction notice later, Tav stumbles across a folder — a thread too tempting not to pull.

    At the heart of Baldur’s Gate’s gleaming new "urban renewal" lies something rotten: a megachurch no one dares question, a string of missing women nobody is looking for, and a city government too complicit or too terrified to intervene.

    Armed with nothing but a battered notepad, a grudge against authority, and an old ex who still might have her back, Tavora dives headfirst into a conspiracy that stretches farther — and strikes deeper — than she ever imagined.

    The Church of Shar promises salvation.
    Tavora’s just hoping to survive. Maybe she will find hope in one of the church's most devout followers. Maybe Shadowheart will be able to finally find salvation on the other side of all this with Tav's help.

    Summary

    For so many victims in such a short amount of time, only for the inquest to be cut off the second the killings stopped? She just needed to double-check, to make sure she wasn’t making connections where there were none.

     

    She pulled the record box down, surprisingly light. Devella froze, and stared at the container in disbelief before throwing the lid aside; empty.

     

    The Butcher files were gone.

     

    Devella Fountainhead has hit a snag into the investigation of the Cult of the Absolute. A visit to the Seatower of Balduran uncovers something unexpected, but not unrelated.

    Summary

    Lilthae (Tav) a half-drow actress/sorceress and her party defeated the Netherbrain a week ago. As the friends go their separate ways and prepare to help rebuilding Baldur's Gate (and resume their lives), Lilthae and Astarion plan to make a life together at her townhome, until her past comes (literally) knocking at the door.

    This story will get very dark, please mind the tags. Currently not looking at including explicit sex scenes, but it will be implied across several relationships.

    Summary

    'What would the former Archduke Gortash be doing planting duskwood saplings in a public park?,' the former Archduke Gortash said instead. He had, in fact, just spent the past four hours planting duskwood saplings in a public park. 'Don't be ridiculous. It is merely a passing resemblance, and one I am not too fond of, given the circumstances.'

    'Huh,' the man said. 'I suppose that does make sense: you poor fucker! Besides, they wouldn't let a dangerous madman like that back on the streets.'

    'Yes, you would think so, wouldn't you,' Gortash said, mostly to himself.
