Summary
This is the story of Raela Fairfield, a custom (Tav) character whom I played in Baldur's Gate 3. She is a half wood elf Gloomstalker Ranger/Assassin Rogue, with the Urchin background, whose major romance was with Karlach, with secondary romance arcs with Astarion and Halsin, and whose overall alignment throughout the game could best be described as Neutral Good. Following completion of the BG3 story, she chose to go to Avernus with Karlach and Wyll to try to fix Karlach's heart.
The work is a blend of my own original writing and scenes heavily drawn from in-game cutscenes (with minor modifications and interpretations of my own) and is intended purely for entertainment purposes under Fair Use guidelines. Major credit and thanks to the creators at Larian Studios for their excellent work. Hope you enjoy!

Summary
Astarion was not used to kind touch.
Overly-familiar, yes. Greedy, possessive, downright lecherous; yes, absolutely. Painful— too much.
But not kind.
Not… not healing.

Summary
After a particularly perilous fight that leaves Shadowheart far too close to death for comfort, she comes to a decision.
An idiotic, unthinkably painful decision, but a path forward, nonetheless.
She needs to become better at physical combat, fast.
And, fortunately or unfortunately, she has recently made a tentative 'truce' with an obnoxious yet admittedly adept Gith Warrior who for some ungodly reason seems to always erect her tent right across from her own.
Well. Let's see if Githyanki can be trusted on their word. Or, even better...coerced into a mutually beneficial arrangement. She's certain there's something she could offer the Gith. Twist to her advantage. If this could also make Lae'zel more bearable, all the better for her.
Lady of Sorrows guide her. How badly could this go?

Summary
"The way the body reacts after birth is unavoidable. All his siblings experienced it: searching for a baby that was no longer there, raging and screaming at everyone and everything in the vicinity as if the child was hidden like a sick parlour game. They all knew what would happen after the first time, but every subsequent time might as well have been the first.
What would’ve happened if one of those children had survived?"
Or: what if the spawn having spawn was a requirement for the Black Mass? What if the mindflayers captured Astarion with one of those children in tow?
