Summary
An invisible presence stalks the halls of Vampire Lord Cazador Szarr’s palace. Astarion, his favorite vampire spawn, is the first to notice. As the days go on, more and more signs appear that the palace is haunted. Cazador is enraged that this phantom seems to have taken a special interest in his most tortured slave.
In his darkest moments, Astarion used to dream that an angel would someday appear to save him from this nightmare. Could this phantom be his angel of darkness? Why does he refuse to show his face?
Little does he know that his mysterious protector is the banished, long-lost son of the Grand Duke of Baldur’s Gate.

Summary
In the moment of quiet that follows, I see that his gaze has become rather fond. Then, he speaks again: “Look at you, telling exotic stories with your wine, and your fruit, and your bare feet on the grass. You’re a real hedonist, aren’t you?”
“What do you mean?”
“Exactly that. You’re a pleasure seeker.”
I take my last bite of apple and chew it slowly, setting the core beside me and raising my hand to my mouth to swallow before I reply, meeting his eyes; “Perhaps I am. And why not? Pleasure’s an honest thing, isn’t it? Aren’t you a hedonist?”
He laughs, though I catch something almost wistful in his expression, just for a second.
“Is that not obvious?”
Is it? I look at him. And I feel my mouth becoming sultry, my heart growing bolder, the longer that I do.
“To pleasure, then,” I say, raising my cup to my lips, and my wrist to Astarion. It's a toast, and a dare, and a question I must know the answer to.

Summary
***
Tav always says "shouldn't have wished to live in more interesting times" in the game, what would happen if her wish came true and they were just normal people playing D&D?
***
This is a modern setting AU of the characters of Baldur's Gate 3 where they're friends and get together to play D&D.
It's mostly my ideas about how I think their lives could be in a modern setting and their relationships and hardships and how this is related to their D&D characters (Or their BG3 original characters). There will be drinking, drug use, some minor references to sexual abuse and/or abuse of a minor, racism, religion/cult as abuse and others. I will approach these topics the best I can and I will keep updating the tags if needed, I will also put warnings in each chapter at the beginning.
There will be a lot of chapters with different lengths, it's mostly a collection of stories of their daily lives, so please keep that into consideration.
English is not my first language so I may have some mistakes, I'm so sorry beforehand.
(ON HIATUS)

Summary
She smiled sweetly at him. “Still not happy about travelling with a pig?”
“No, no.” He assured her, relaxing a modicum once his dagger was safely sheathed at his hip. “The pig is great. A blood-thirsty, monster-stomping pig. She’s darling, let’s keep her.”
Since she was a child, Shay's increasingly less-than-idyllic life in Baldur's Gate was haunted by a pale, red-eyed stranger lurking in the shadows. When she found the very same man on a beach, drenched in sunlight and infected with the same parasite that now wriggled in her own brain, she was forced to set aside her dreams of vengeance in hopes of surviving another day. They did survive – not just the next day but for many more after – forging an alliance that forced Shay to confront the possibility that there was more to the man than she thought.
