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 :)

Heir to Ruin by MurderElfFancier (captainecchi)

Summary
Fifteen years after the Rage of Demons, Mavash and Jorlan are yanked out of their happily-ever-after when their oldest daughter Si’Nethraa is marked by Vecna. With their old friend Lux, and the heroes of Elturel, they must once again take up adventuring to save their daughter’s life -- and keep a certain god of secrets from wrecking havoc on the multiverse.
-
This is a campaign novelization of Vecna: Eve of Ruin, with characters drawn from Bright Future (my campaign novelization of the latter half of Out of Abyss), plus characters from the same DM’s Descent into Avernus game. It should be welcoming to both readers and non-readers of Bright Future (and light on the spoilers), especially if you dig romance, family drama, sad drow males, and intense conversations.
--
New chapter: Mavash and her companions begin exploring the Neverdeath Graveyard, with a little help from an old friend. Jorlan raises an important question about their children.

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.

Three years after everything falls apart, a dark presence sweeps through the Underdark.

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
Ten years after the Netherbrain, Astarion has cobbled together a perfectly stable life in the Underdark. Gale, in the throes of a mid-life crisis, comes to him with a ludicrous scheme to rob a Drow noble by infiltrating a weekend of debauchery at her manor.
It's a Bloodweave Heist Fic
(The tags might make this seem dark but it's absolutely a sex farce romantic comedy)

Summary
In the beginning...Phaera Duskryn was a slightly unhinged paladin drow out on the surface for the first time. Astarion smelled blood, figuratively and literally. Much to both of their surprise, a little fling became a thing became...well, Phaera's a vampire now. And although she is an absolute and ambitious menace in the streets, she's a good little girl between the sheets.
Just remember: vampires are chaotic evil. Astarion, and Phaera, are NOT GOOD PEOPLE. And we love them for that.
Each chapter is like a vignette from their life together. Bite-sized, as one might say. See the smut chapter breakdown below for those of you who just want to jump to the smut (major things tagged with chapter).
New chapters when I get a moment to myself (grad school is kicking my butt).

“What a wicked little spider you are,” he murmured against her mouth as she pressed it on his.
“What a dangerous compliment.”
“I am dangerous, aren’t I?”
More nuzzling of her nose against his. “What have I done to earn such a beautiful blasphemy?”

Summary
Laidra is a bard with ambition despite being born a commoner in Menzoberranzan. When she comes into the employ of the fourth noble house, she is tasked with soothing a strange beast chained to the bed of Matron DeVir. She never would have expected the beast to change into an even stranger elven man, nor would she have expected him to completely change the path she'd carefully carved for herself in Drow society. Will a druid from the surface bring her to forsake her Goddess to seek the world he describes to her, one daring encounter at a time? Or will her music soothe him before divine intervention can arrive?

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
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
“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
The Champion of Ravens is special. He always has been. He is what is known as Fate Touched. He can reach out and tug on the Threads of Fate around him, and alter Fate itself. This is why he was always destined to become his Matron's Champion. But even he can only do so much when a Thread is out of his reach.
Still on the hunt for Percival de Rolo, Vox Machina have no idea that his Thread may be beyond the pull of even Vax'ildan, now.
Unknowingly and unintentionally, Percival de Rolo and Sylas Briarwood struck a bargain that wove their Threads together so completely, they can no longer be separated, except to sever them completely: to cut the Thread of life. Sylas is his Master, and Percy is Lord Briarwood's Fount, and he is Bound to him, with his very life. A part of him hates this. But so much more of him revels in the closeness of their Bond. He delights in the empathic link they share, the telepathic words they speak to each other, and comfort he finds in physical closeness. Sylas has spent the last two months wearing down his mind and spirit; this Bond has worn down his heart.
Percival de Rolo is Sylas Briarwood's White Falcon. He has his loyalty. And maybe his heart...

Summary
Two years after the events of Baldur's Gate, a fateful encounter in a graveyard leads Tav and Astarion down a path of separation, contemplation, and reparation. The Seldarine and the Spawn find themselves navigating their relationship in the context of families they never knew as they grapple with the ghosts of their pasts that haunt them, and the future of hope that taunts them.
---
Footsteps approached Tav and she looked up from her contemplative state to meet the face of Mortarch Gracie Scyre. The elderly woman smiled welcomingly at her.
“It’s strange to see two separate individuals come to visit the same site in a day,” she commented, looking down at Astarion’s grave with curiosity. “This grave has been here for over 200 years according to our records, and I don’t believe in the time I’ve been here I’ve seen one person come to visit.”
“Two people? There was someone before me?” Tav questioned. Had Astarion somehow come under the cover of darkness without alerting her? That didn’t seem like him.
“Oh, yes. A young elven woman with very pale white hair. Asked if I could show her the grave of Astarion Ancunin.” Tav’s stomach somersaulted and she felt her chest tighten with anxiety.
