Summary
Six months after the fall of the Netherbrain, Gale and Astarion have gone their separate ways. Astarion is coming to enjoy the simple things in life. For once, he’s murdering, threatening, and intimidating the right people, and earning a tidy amount of gold at the same time.
In Waterdeep, Gale is working hard to find his place among the realm’s most prominent wizard academics, but can’t bring himself to publish a single paper.
When Astarion’s sister Dalyria brings him stories of disappearing vampire spawn children, Astarion is forced back into close proximity with the Waterdhavian wizard he’s tried in vain to get over. Together, Astarion, Dal, and Gale find themselves facing a new threat in the Underdark, one that proves the most depraved schemes in Faerûn did not die with the Dead Three’s chosen.
A story about figuring out who you are after trauma, what happens when you begin to heal, and how to rediscover yourself after turning down untold power.

Summary
A single note - a name, a location, and a date - is what brought them all together. With no memory of one-another, yet this strange sense that they've accidentally doomed the world, only a single prophecy served to guide them. Will they be able to save Baldur's Gate before it's too late? Will they uncover their memories and figure out what happened in their past? What they've lost? Who they've lost?
The reimagined telling of the Dungeons and Dragons campaign 'Veil of Echoes'. This campaign is set in the year 1500 in Faerun, after the canon events within the preexisting universe - it is a divergence from other canon material after the year 1493. It is told in the perspective of our seven protagonists: Vena, Zae'lia, Umbra, Go'Ven, Korvin, Ayla, and Itha.Some spoilers ahead for other D&D material, as well as Baldur's Gate III as this is set in the same universe, roughly eight years later.
---
Some future chapters will contain two versions - they are identical except for the alternative version contains elements of smut. Readers can choose to enjoy the fade-to-black or the additional content, the chapter note will preface any alternative versions! Otherwise, the story is rated T or M mostly.Series

Summary
The Grey Warriors have finally left the duergar occupied city of Gracklstugh and set course for Neverlight Grove, but every which way the group turns, they find further turmoil in the Underdark. The horror and destruction that began in the kuo-toa village of Sloobludop is rapidly spreading far, far beyond it.
Stonespeaker Hgraam’s grim warning remains fixed in their heads:
“The rock itself cries with pain and horror, and a madness creeps from the blackest depths. Pay heed to the signs around you. A cave with two faces. Rock devoured, and the land overgrown. The pebble believes itself flesh. The earth rejects its wards, and the tunnels shake with fury. By these portents, you shall know of evil’s presence and of evil’s face. This is what the stones tell me.”
More than ever, the lands below need a light in the dark.

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
During act 1, after enduring starvation and inner torment, Astarion finds himself pushed beyond his limits. When he approaches Eirwen in the dead of night, desperate for blood, she does something he doesn’t expect—she offers. What begins as a consensual feeding quickly devolves into something darker as Astarion loses control, overcome by hunger, lust, and centuries of repression, killing her. Horrified by Eirwen’s death, he flees, spiraling into grief, guilt, and self-loathing—and a brutal realization that he’s aroused by the memory of her submission. But when Eirwen is resurrected by Shadowheart and confronts him, the truth of their bond begins to take root: dangerous, intimate, and irreversible.
(summery is of the first three chapters, the story continues on into the beginnings of their relationship, leading to Astarion's eventual Ascension, and Eirwen taking her place as his dark consort.)

Summary
Cazador had sunk his fangs into both of them. They’d both been bled dry, hearts cut down to the quick and given over to immortality against their will, their bodies and souls no more than convenient collateral to further the will of a man hellbent on achieving absolute power.
Perhaps, she and Astarion weren’t all that different, after all. But then again, he was the one who had played her for a fool and put her in this position in the first place.
“I don’t owe you anything.”
The words cut across the air between them, vicious and haughty, and the tiny flicker of understanding that had begun to glow in her chest winks out of existence as she strides forward to slam down the old, rotting book in her hand onto the feeble desk he stands just behind.
“Say that again, Astarion. I dare you.”

In which, once upon a time, Astarion finds his mark for the night and Rin learns the consequences of naivety. Thankfully, they have an eternity together afterwards to sort it all out.

Or will her music soothe him before divine intervention can arrive?

What You Made Me by Denesmera

Summary
It's been almost 6 months since they defeated the Elderbrain. Everybody seems to have found a purpose in life. Except Maeva. Should she stay with Halsin and become a 'mummy' to the refugees (something that frankly terrifies her) or leave and find her own adventure? Maybe with her best friend Astarion, down in the Underdark...
'I'm going to miss you.' It was true. And not just as a friend. They'd been good together in battle too, their movements and weapons enhancing each other like a paired set of steel blades. She bit her lip. And they had fucked - as he so eloquently put it - twice, until she'd had a flash of conscience and finished that particular source of enjoyment.
Sometimes she was such an idiot.

Summary
She sighed internally, disbelief mixing with a dash of delight. This might be the most absurd thing that had ever happened to her, and there was stiff competition for that dubious honor. Surviving the nautiloid crash. Escaping Castle Ravenloft twice. Joining the circus. Becoming a warlock by accident.
And now she was god of the fish people.
Take that, Mystra, she couldn’t help but smirk to herself.
