    Summary

    The brain has fallen, and the city is dealing with the fallout. The chaos of the Absolute Crisis tore open many wounds in Baldur"s Gate, and the city now suffers a power vacuum. Multiple scheming forces seek to fill that hole, including politicians, heroes, criminals, and those who belong to the shadows.
    Ari and Astarion, however, are too busy enjoying their honeymoon (and each other"s bodies) to care. Until the chaos comes to their door, and they have no choice but to face it. They"re drawn into a complicated web involving murder, mysterious shadowy entities, and political machinations.
    Meanwhile, Wyll Ravengard returns to the forbidden city for the first time since his banishment with a mission from his Patron, Mizora. Avoiding the notice of his father for fear of retribution, he seeks out a new target at the cambion"s behest. But as it turns out, this target may be more than a match for him.

    Read if you: want more Aristarion chaos and love, felt like Wyll was a little (or MAJORLY) snubbed in the game and want more for him, and like your heroes a little villainous and your villains a little heroic.

    This is a sequel. Read Book 1 first, or you"ll have NO idea what the fuck is going on. ❤️

    Summary

    A brain fell from the sky, the city is healing, life slowly returns to the normal and our spawns find it harder and harder to find a place for themselves. Where do monsters fit in a life of normalcy? When you have a constant hunger for blood, how can you pretend to be normal?

    And what do you do when people find out that you"re not?

    This is a follow-up to the Broken Bastards fic, containing a continuation and some cut content. (Is currently being broken-up into smaller arcs and put into a series.)

    Summary

    When he wakes up, he"s not himself. Not that he can remember what being "himself" even means. All he has is a pounding headache and a name, "The Dark Urge".

    Oh, and memories of the real world and over 500 plus hours of playtime in Baldur"s Gate 3.

    Now he"s stuck inside the game, with no idea how he got there or what the fuck is going on. And very quickly, he"ll realise that the real world of Faerun is nothing like the game. Shit hurts, there"s no maps, fast travel, or save scumming. And people are far more complicated than simple video game characters.

    If he can keep himself alive and make it through this, perhaps there"s something waiting for him in Faerun, a life he can build for himself. But the urge is just as real as everything else, and it"s out for blood.

    All he wants is to find his freedom before the game kills him or the urge overtakes him.

    *

    If you like slow burns, morally grey characters, consequences and urge-fuelled angst, this fic is for you.

    On hiatus until 1st April 2025 ❤️

    Currently editing, so for now the noblestalk is both a flower and a mushroom until I catch up 😅

    Summary

    Before the events of squirming tadpoles connected a group of unlikely strangers into a begrudging partnership to save the world, Astarion roamed the streets of Baldur"s Gate as a vampire slave to the Szarr family. His master, Cazador, forced him to seduce and lure thousands of victims to his doorstep, and if that wasn’t slight enough, he saw Astarion as his personal toy of torment and torture.

    One hundred and fifty years later, anything that remained of the man before had been snuffed out by the heel of Cazador’s boot. That is until one night, when Astarion, yet again on the hunt for his master, comes across a possible target unlike any he’s met before. A charismatic and handsome drow who is equal parts word-smith, warrior, and wizard. This man’s otherworldly nature seems to see right through Astarion’s elaborately crafted persona, and more than that, he can break the mental hold Cazador has on him and shroud his presence from the vampire lord. The stranger, for whatever reason, is charmed by Astarion and offers him a deal: His protection from Cazador’s control for Astarion’s companionship.

    What else can Astarion do but agree?

    Summary

    “I don"t mind you taking more than blood from me while I"m asleep, you know.”

    “Oh?” Astarion turns his head to meet his gaze, a brow raised. “And how am I supposed to take that?”

    “Take it however you want.” V"s stopped sharpening his daggers, staring at Astarion with an intensity that leaves nothing ambiguous as to what he"s implying. “Take from me whatever you want.”
