After the final battle against the mind flayer threat Arista made her way back to the Underdark with Astarion. Their new mission: find the freed 7000 vampire spawn and teach them how to survive without causing a bloodbath.
But Arista has a second mission, a secret mission. Finding a cure for Astarion's vampirism to give him a chance to walk in the sun again without the bloodlust but also without immortality.
It's supposed to be a surprise but all leads she has found so far turn out to be a dead end.
Her last option: Asking a gift of the Goddess she has worshipped ever since her family fled Menzoberranzan.
But what she is asking proves to be too much for a lesser deity such as Eilistraee. The Goddess however does know a way...
With the stakes raised Arista can no longer keep her secret from her lover.
Will he embrace mortality for them, for himself knowing what it might cost the Paladin at his side? Or will he watch his true love age and die at his side, sparing her from the pain the path in front of them promises?

As the Ash Settles by mscoraziph
40 parts Complete Mature
As the Ash Settles, is my take on what happens to the group of companions after saving Baldur's Gate. As the ash settles and the drinks are pouring a familiar sensation washes over our Tav, the very same one that compelled her to attack poor Alfira in her slumber, perhaps defeating her sister was not just denying her father but in fact taking back her rightful spot as leader of the Bhaalspawn, perhaps Withers was indeed wrong. Questions left unanswered while still having to find a special artifact for Astarion to walk and in the sun and still beating heart to fear Karlach. Rated M for Mature. Will include adult behaviors, some violence and well just stuff from the game itself. Don't worry though not a finger will be laid on the goodest boy Scratch. "*" will mark homebrewed items with their links.

The Pale Elf by chaoticdruid
88 parts Complete Mature
Image is concept art I did for chapter 8. Slow burn romance. Sensitive topics mentioned inside. Reader discretion is advised. If this story had a theme song, it would be more than one. Give by Sleep Token, Sweet Tangerine by The Hush Sound, and TIMEZONE by Måneskin. Tav is a sharp-witted bard with a tongue as quick as her blade. Astarion is a dangerous vampire spawn rogue, bound by shadows and scars of the past. When their paths intertwine, sparks fly. Will something beautiful bloom between them, or will it be plucked before it ever has the chance to grow? - "You are more than what he wanted you to be," I murmur quietly. Astarion's gaze cuts to mine, sharp at first and then softening around the edges. "I'm a monster," he whispers with a shake of his head. "I've lured countless people to their deaths. Innocents." "That's not who you are anymore," I insist. I give his shoulder a gentle squeeze. "You can take back the narrative. Only you get to say who you are."

Time slips through my fingers. And I wonder. How much of me has been lost? How much of me has been found? But I am no optimist. So I wait. Dreading the day when I no longer recognise myself. Or worse, When others no longer recognise me. Will my life stop suddenly? Like a pendulum interrupted mid swing? Or slowly, like an old clock winding down. Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick. Tock. Astarion x my high elf rogue Tav, Nyx Astarion x my wood elf paladin Tav, Sera Maybe some others, we'll see. Astarion and any other bg3 npc's belong to Larian Studios, thus I do not own them.
Twilight of Shepherd and Calamity by Ming1080
69 parts Complete Mature
Inspired by The page after the last page by KeyKnows. → There will be a good ending →Reincarnation →A lot of exotic settings √ →The author is a strange thinking creature I write the story because I have read plenty of the stories about Velvet Crowe on AO3( and other platforms like fanfiction), and I think I better make my contribution of a story too. I tried to fix all the bug setting and grammar mistake, but still, I am not good at writing, if you see some part strange or like academic writing, I shall apologize for my low English writing skills in story writing. Some part of the story may be translated from another language for my convenience in writing, for example, the battle description. I tried to correct it so that they look smooth. Still, there may be a case of differential expression in the two languages that I didn't fix. It is the story after TOZ timeline, and the setting is developed from TOZ and TOB, so no surprise that someone already died in the plot in the beginning. However, I may have them reborn or present for a short period or present in a form of memory. Strange and various couple ideas such as Sorey x Velvet and I see it is more like friendship or family relationship or platonic love? So don't ask me if it is a romantic relationship, I don't know as well...(but I will still tag it) Lastly, my writing style is mixed with reference (reference of setting, conversation and ideas/ inspiration). For example, the setting is partly referred from and greatly inspired by [The pages after the last page] and the relationship Greatly referred from Tales of Rays and Tales of Asteria, also referred from and inspired by the crossovers written by Blackrockshooterstar (fanfiction), Rocking85(Wattpad), Gravenimage (fanfiction), 羽虫(Pixiv) and other stories I read on Pixiv and AO3. Thank you for your patience to read all the notes~ If you are fine with these all, let's begin! PS:OMG the note is almost ¼ to the content.....
