Summary
Set after the events of Baldur's Gate 3, we pick up with Shadow roaming the world. A redeemed yet haunted Bhaalspawn, the fight with Orin and the Netherbrain having healed the wound that Orin dealt that buried his memories.
His soul fragmented, cracked, and tearing apart as the edges of madness claw at his mind, the Urge a jagged whisper in the dark. Will Shadow find his peace or will he succumb to the madness that claws so hungrily at his mind?
Lost within, Shadow fights not just himself. The world sees only the darkness.
Shadow fled Baldur's Gate and his beloved Astarion's arms, fearing he would only bring him pain, yet the fates draw him back into the storm.

Summary
Karlach's been doing great since becoming one of the new heroes of Baldur's Gate, thanks. Sure, it's been, uh, literal Hell living in Avernus, but hey, at least this time it's of her own volition! And she's SO close to finding a way to resolve that little issue with her Infernal Engine for a heart.
But, you know what she didn't anticipate? The fucking horse-drawn carriage that bowled her over and sent her to gods-damned high school.
or
The author looked at Twisted Wonderland and thought 'yeah, this is great, but there's not enough Karlach in it.' You know, like a normal, well-adjusted person does.
Knowledge of both Twisted-Wonderland and Baldur's Gate 3 recommended for best reading experience.

Summary
After the Grove’s destruction, the party is left with the worst versions of themselves. Gale is disgusted with himself and what he’s willing to put up with for power. Shadowheart felt her walls go back up, after they had started to be slowly chipped away. Actually, Astarion and Lae’zel were pretty much the same. The group is bound to their leader, Durge’s wishes. What horrors will they commit next?
On the other hand, Wyll and Karlach left the party, unwilling to participate in the bloodshed. Will they survive without the artifact? Or will they become the absolute’s puppets?
or tldr; My insistent ramblings of what Wyll and Karlach are up to after they leave the party in an evil playthrough

Summary

The Mind Flayers may have pulled him from that pit of death, but it remains an ever constant presence, his control one crack from shattering and letting loose tortured death on the world.
Can Theran find the end of the storm with his newfound friends and dare it be said romance with the enigmatic vampire Astarion or will he be lost to the wild tortured magics that burn his soul and heart?

Summary
Back at it again at the Krispie Kreme, Avernus version.
Karlach is trapped here, fighting every day in this horrible literal hell pit. But this time, she isn’t alone! Astarion and Wyll are here! But… gods, maybe that is making this shit worse, instead of better? Astarion keeps getting injured in battles, and Karlach doesn't feel any less guilty about things when he repeatedly says he's fine, he was tortured all the time before, it’s nothing to him, look how fast he heals.
Karlach was already scared she had brought him to Avernus only for him to die, instead of getting to enjoy his new free life, then today he managed to fall into a pit of lava during a battle. They fish him out, but now Karlach has to deal with protecting a badly burnt and feetless vampire on top of all of the other horrors of the hells.
And he won’t stop making jokes about the situation long enough for her to fucking think! ARGH!!!
-or-
Astarion gets horrifically injured but is more worried about making sure Karlach isn’t sad about it.

Summary
Karlach's daring escape from Avernus lands her smack in the middle of the wilderness of the Sword Coast with a whole new treasure trove of problems and some budding friendships she'd never have expected to find. Her engine has shifted into overdrive though, and it's more of a hindrance than a help, at least until she can find someone to give it a tune-up.
This fic explores some questions around Karlach's wellbeing in act 1. Mostly how she tends to accidentally set things on fire, including her general sleeping area, other people's hair, and most importantly, the first tastes of real food she's gotten to have since being kidnapped by the Hells ten years ago. Rated T for language.

Summary
[Can be read as standalone!!]
Shadowheart has a way about her that can easily be construed as casually flirty or intentionally seductive. While she’s not ‘whack you over the head with a frying pan’ kind of flirty—like Astarion—Karlach can tell Shadowheart is the sort of girl who plays her pretty face and excruciatingly hot body to her advantage without ever letting it be known if she’s really interested, or if she’s just stringing you along because it amuses her to know that you’re interested. It’d been so damn long since she’s been confronted by someone she’d actually want that the confusion and uncertainty of it all is enough to fry her recently scrambled brains.
Karlach also can’t remember if this is just what it feels like to have a big fat crush on a person.
Rated for graphic depictions of Violence, Trauma, Trauma-related subjects, and Sex.

Summary
~~~ In a thousand years, when I've all but forgotten how to love again, you'll flit back into my heart and I'll weep wondering what happened to my mad love. ~~~
Heart shattered, Ash a Bhaalspawn whose sole redeeming quality is she managed to resist her dark urges, has been sentenced to an excruciating death after losing to Orin. Barely managing to wrest the stone from Orin and nearly dying save but for that she insisted on Shadowheart accompanying her, Karlach, Astarion, and Jaheira into that nightmare, Ash now faces a hard choice.
Soon victory will be held in their hands, but Ash's path has become a shattered mess and she knows one thing deep down inside. She would never subject Astarion to watching whatever is about to go down and so in the night after the Netherbrain, Ash leaves Baldur's Gate never to return save for what word of deed comes by bard.
This story is one of loss and redemption and will get dark.

Summary
Karlach is fresh out of the Hells, ready to make a good name for herself and, of course, never go back and put the whole Blood War behind her.
Except also infected is Wyll, a gnoll, and gnolls are halfway to demons. Karlach doesn't trust Wyll, especially as Wyll has the party convinced he's a tabaxi instead. The solution is to watch him and wait for him to slip up and reveal he's a monster. Watch him real close.

Summary
After three years of being engaged, Karlach and Wyll are finally ready to tie the knot. It's not exactly what either of them pictured for their wedding day—getting married in the hells with an infernal engine for a heart isn't anyone's childhood dream—but when you're stuck in Avernus, you make the best of what you have.
Besides, all they really need is each other. Right?
