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
In the crumbling depths of the Underdark, Astarion has carved out a fragile sanctuary for the spawn he freed—and now leads. Gale, no longer a divine errand boy and with no adventure left to occupy him, arrives seeking purpose—and finds only rot. He tells himself it’s altruism. It might even be friendship. But Gale’s never been good at lying, not even to himself.
Can he survive what the Underdark demands of him? What Astarion wants from him? Or is he simply chasing redemption in all the wrong places?

Summary
"Very few seek this out," Sovereign Spaw continued, its voice slipping through Thorne’s mind like silk, curling around his thoughts with unrestrained intimacy. "But those who do, on the rarest of occasions, describe it as overwhelming. An unraveling. Both Rebirth and connection."
Or,
Myconid sex!

Summary
“If I ever see you again, I’ll kill you,” Astarion tells him, voice grave and swirling with something sinister. Good, he thinks.
Finn nods once. “You should.” The handle turns stiffly, resistant, and he steps into the morning light, leaving the man he loves behind him, trapped in the shadows.

Summary
“I want to kiss every inch of you,” Than said, “until the places that were touched in cruelty are touched in care.” Astarion made a noise—low, soft, almost involuntary.
———
This is not a love story. This is what comes after. A drow exile and a vampire spawn Astarion, unlearning fear with their hands on each other’s throats.
A slow-burning, deep-cutting gothic romance stitched together with silences, angst, trauma recovery and loss - scar by scar. Slow. Brutal. Unrelenting and sensual.
Synopsis: Set deep in the Underdark, this story follows Astarion and Lolth-sworn drow OC, Thanaïel as they search for a cure to vampirism—haunted by memory, starved for connection and bound by something far more dangerous than bloodlust.

Summary
“You can come back to me,” Astarion’s specter purrs. “I’ll be furious, naturally—violently so—but I’ll have you. Surely that’s better than starving in some damp cave?”
I glare. “He’ll kill my baby.”
My Astarion adjusts, seems to remember he’s not the real thing. “You can’t know that. He’s a narcissist, darling. If he looks and sees himself, he might raise it like a prince.”
“And if he sees me?”
“Then never give him the chance,” he urges. “Show everyone just how very hard you are to kill.”
Tav ran. She slipped Astarion’s leash, left a charred drow corpse in her place, and went into hiding with their monster growing inside her—one that already has its father’s appetite.
But when Minthara’s supply drop fails to arrive, Tav is left alone, pregnant, and starving in the Underdark.
And the imaginary Astarion she’s conjured for comfort—the one shaped from her best memories—may not be hers at all.
Tav has her Bella Swan/teen mom moment in the Underdark. I doubt anyone will read this, but it was so so fun to write.

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
After hundreds of years spent as a prisoner confined in the tourmaline walls of a vampire lord’s dungeon, Sebastian finally receives freedom for the first time since his capture and subsequent abuse by none other than his abductor, another vampire spawn called Astarion. Free to leave his crystal cage, he feels hunger, anger, and loss, not having enough time in that dreadful eternity to process these emotions in merely a few hours between their reunion, and the click of the arcane lock finally breaking.
He hungers, Sebastian cannot think clearly under the rapture of his decayed stomach, and with this confusion, a new freedom comes with a host of challenges on what to do. To keep moving forward as a survivor, his journey will take him across realms, helping him gain new skills, rediscover ancient pasts, and give him the time to reclaim most of what he lost when his soul was taken.
Learn, grow, and become powerful.
Break those chains that hold him to the darkness, the gods aren’t going to listen anyway.

Summary
Astarion should’ve known a devil like Raphael, clawing back from death’s grip, would only offer ruin.
For a century, the Underdark has ground Astarion to a shadow. Hunted, starving, and chained to the guilt of what he failed to redeem. Substance is his only solace, numbing the ache of a heart that’s forgotten the shape of hope.
But when Raphael tempts him with a relic buried in the Lowerdark’s abyss, whispering redemption, Astarion says yes.
He shouldn’t have.
This is a descent into blood and shadow, where battles with aberrations tear flesh and memories rip deeper.
There’s blood. There’s heat. There’s something down there that should’ve stayed forgotten.And somewhere along the way, there’s a kiss you can’t come back from.
(Or: My need to fight aberrations and suffer beautifully -- with heavy action and some intense smut.)

Summary
“If you kill me,” Gale added, voice tight but steadying, attempting to soothe even if it was all for not. “You’ll most likely die here alone, writhing in agony as the poison runs its full course through your veins.” He took a careful step forward, and the beast did not stir except for a flicking of the ears. "Don't kill me and..." Gale placed a gentle hand on its snout, shaking as he felt the warmth of the creature and the scratchy texture of its fur. "And we can get through this together."
Or,
Gale gets chased by a Minotaur into some sex pollen.

“Rhuun. Rhuun, my darling. Rhuun. Come on now, love, wake up. Wake up, please.”
Rhuun snapped his eyes open, expecting to see the manufactured darkness of the spell, only to instead stare straight into rich, red eyes. Eyes that were darker than the brothers’. Eyes with tiny gold flecks near the centers.
“Astarion,“ He gasped, reaching out to him instinctively. “Astarion-“
“I’m here, love. It was a dream. You’re awake now.” Rhuun threw his arms around his partner’s neck, Astarion gathering him to his chest with a soft kiss to his temple. “I’m here.”
OR: The party goes to the underdark. Angst, fluff, and plot ensue

Summary
“You’re full of surprises, aren’t you,” I murmur, mesmerized by the simple touch of the metal.
“Aren’t we all?” he replies in a low voice.
The shift in his tone makes me look at him, and I’m surprised by the way his face has changed within seconds. It’s softer, more relaxed. And his eyes have a mildness I’ve never seen in them before. And now that I look at him, I realize that his lips are kind of pretty—very pretty.
His hand still hovers close to my ear, and from the corner of my eye, I see it moving even closer, until I feel a frigid touch at the crook of my neck.
I shiver and flinch to the side because this inhuman coldness freaks me out.When Tav and her companions rescue Halsin from the worg pens in the goblin camp, they’re forced to make a quick escape. Through a crack in the wall, they stumble into a tunnel that leads them even deeper into the Underdark. Soon, the group splits, leaving Tav and Astarion alone to find their way back to the surface.
