Windwalker Part 3: Zephyrus by Teutonic_Titwillow

Summary
Undrentide has fallen. Rebecca Blumenthal has turned her back on her old life and embraced her new life as a vagabond priestess of Shaundakul and bad-tempered do-gooder. But, as shadows pool in Waterdeep's streets, she finds out that you can never really escape your own past - and that while she may be done with heroism, heroism isn't done with her.
Last stop in a trilogy: Hordes of the Underdark. Earth meets Faerun. Inspired and influenced by: Stephen R. Donaldson's Mordant's Need series (and Thomas Covenant), plus two of my favorite authors who always inspire me, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Not-entirely-heroic protagonist described as "delightfully acerbic" and "a profane, temperamental gift" by reviewers. Lots of twists, sharp right turns, banter, humor, angst, and slow character development. Also... *points at the character list and winks*
If you want to skip the first two in the trilogy, you probably can, but you'll be missing a lot of character development and backstory. If you want to get the broad strokes but are short on time, you could also just read Part I (which is a pretty quick read) and chapters 1-5 + 58-59 of Part II. Your call.

Summary
Set after the events of the main game but just before Withers's party.
_____
There was a moment where Bex had thought she'd finally found something she could rely on - a family, a home. And then Astarion ascended and all the rest of her friends left her behind. Alone in the city she saved from destruction, she finds herself slipping further and further into the fog that has long threatened to overwhelm her.
Bex is sure she's going to die like this. Worse, it doesn't even seem like anyone will even miss her. It's a relief when Raphael comes back from the dead, hells-bent on retaliating against her for breaking into his house and killing him. But then, to her disappointment, he doesn't kill her. Instead, he offers her a deal.
Her body in exchange for the vampire's soul._____
Spoilers for The Dark Urge playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3.

Summary
Astarion is painfully familiar with what it means to want.
Has spent centuries doing nothing but wishing, hoping, desiring, wanting.
Yet it’s been so terribly long since he’s been allowed to have something. Can’t remember what it was like to feel something truly belongs to him. It all seems so far and distant. Like it could have been a dream. An entirely different life all together. A cruel and empty promise.
But Astarion had her.

Summary
Wizard Noor, raised by nuns and kidnapped by Ilithids, seems completely allergic to minding her business. So, it’s not that big of a surprise to anyone, that she's walking into Astarion’s tent again.
