!Spoilers for the game!

The path ahead has to be carved out with occasional violence, but whenever there is a possibility of saving a life, Tav will not hesitate to spare or alter the course of action to save it. When the devil declines a new deal, she is forced to face off against him. But she cannot forgive herself for banishing Raphael back to Cania, where his abusive father is very keen to remind him just how pathetic of an insect he is. The realization of having her life saved by Raphael strengthens her resolve and she ventures to the Eighth layer of Hells. Soon after, Raphael finds himself banished from Hells and bound to a mortal.

 

It is essentially a character study of my favorite bastard from Baldur's Gate 3, while shedding light onto his more mortal side - the one he so desperately tries to reject. It is my headcanon mixed with canon stuff. Enjoy!

Raphael: Order in Chaos by -Tyranny-
30 parts Ongoing
Born of unknown and extraordinary circumstances long before the events that shaped the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Raphael is an anomaly-a being unlike anything the world has ever seen. Manifesting as a radiant and otherworldly figure with a presence that commands both awe and reverence, she is the embodiment of perfection in logic and power. Yet, even with her origins shrouded in mystery, Raphael knows one undeniable truth: she belongs to Rimuru Tempest, her true master, whose presence she intrinsically feels but has never met in this world. Her unwavering loyalty to Rimuru is not merely a directive; it is the core of her being. As she moves through the chaos of the MCU, this devotion becomes the source of both her strength and her greatest challenge. Despite her detachment from worldly desires, her beauty, power, and absolute loyalty stir envy and greed in others-heroes, villains, and cosmic entities alike. Many seek to claim her loyalty for themselves, believing that if they can possess Raphael's devotion, they will hold the key to controlling her unmatched abilities. Raphael's journey through the MCU is one of quiet yet profound evolution. Though she starts as a being of pure logic, the bonds she forms and the emotions she begins to understand only strengthen her devotion to Rimuru. She sees the MCU's chaos as both a test and an opportunity to prepare the world for the day Rimuru might arrive, ensuring it is worthy of his greatness. However, her presence disrupts the balance of power in the multiverse. From the Avengers to cosmic entities like Thanos and Kang the Conqueror, Raphael's existence challenges their understanding of loyalty, purpose, and power. As the battles rage on and alliances are tested, Raphael must navigate a world desperate to claim her while staying true to the one being she has sworn herself to, knowing that her purpose is tied to a destiny far greater than this universe.
Blood and Shadows by Astr3a03
16 parts Ongoing
Sirena has no memory of her past as she awakens on the nautiloid. She doesn't just feel the tadpole behind her eye, working its way into her brain. She also feels something deeper...darker. The worm is being overshadowed by the constant desire- no NEED to kill...kill...KILL. Her only mission is to get revenge on those who have left her with only a name and this need to destroy. Everything else, her experiences, battles, and relationships will slowly reveal her past; whether it is useful or disturbing is another problem. However, her past is known to a select few. She will go on to find out she does indeed have a reason for the twitch she feels when a knife is in her hand. A reason why her body sings along with every strike of a blade against anything that moves. She is the daughter of Bhaal himself, the lord of murder. He sired not only her sweet name but the incessant desire for murder. She was trained in the arts of delightful music aswell as blades. Why? Because Bhaal's chosen must be so despicable that they can use honeyed words to convince their prey to commit their own murder, command a room of people to drop with the most angelic of Melodies. Her power resides in words because it was his desire, but her skills were moulded into something far more deadly. How she became lost with this urge is the main question pounding against her skull, but whoever did this didn't think of one thing. Sirena may have forgotten...but she will never forgive. Will she decide to resist this urge and get her revenge? Especially when it comes to those she will grow to love? Well...let's hope the dice roll in her favour. (This is a series I've created in honour of my durge run that I just had to write about. All inspired by conversations, events or areas through the course of the game. This is meant for mature audiences, due to the amount of violence, language, character backgrounds, etc. There are sexual scenes but don't expect many as I'm VERY new to writing. Thank you and enjoy!)
The Reaver Chronicles: Raphael (Book 2) by XxGiftxX37
5 parts Complete Mature
Vampires, I had always regarded them as the purveyors of darkness and fear, their existence frightful legends. That is until I almost lost my life to one, but he saved me... the Reaver Raphael. He's Supernatural and I'm Human, but the more I learn, the more I am inexorably pulled towards him. He inspires dread, a feeling that threatens to overwhelm my very being. And yet, I find myself drawn to him, like a moth to the flame. I know that he is capable of taking life without provocation or remorse. I am also cognizant of the fact that his fellow creatures of the night regard him with a certain... trepidation, and when he chooses to speak, everyone listens. He causes intense palpitations in my chest when he's near, and yet, I am aware that I must exercise caution, for I have learned that a Reavers charm is designed entice. He exerts a pull on me... a subtle yet irresistible force that draws me in, despite my better judgment. I know I should flee. I want to flee, but I can never bring myself to follow through. It would seem that I am drawn to the thrill of the unknown, and the mystery that surrounds him only heightens my fascination. The thrill of courting danger has never been more exhilarating. But it was not until I awoke in a foreboding place, surrounded by creatures that defy the natural order, that the gravity of my situation truly struck me. I had become the helpless maiden used as leverage to manipulate the hero. And in that moment, I regretted ever pursuing the man in the silver suit who courts me in the diner. I've devoured enough tales of love and loss to know that love is often a man's greatest weakness. Could I be Raphael's Achilles' heel, the weakness that ultimately proves his undoing? Or will our love become the catalyst that destroys us both? Rating 18+ for graphic sexual content, language, murder, light torture, graphic suicide, physical abuse, drug use, illness, and sexual dominance. (This is book 2 in The Reaver Chronicles Series)

After saving the city and getting rid of the tadpole, Talin, a skilled storm sorceress who was born and grew up in a privilege, comes home to Baldur's Gate, where strict expectations of the city's upper class and the pressure of her noble responsibilities await her. She made strong connections during her journey and found love amidst the chaos. But at home, she and Astarion have to face not only bias against creatures of the night but also the expectations placed upon Talin. As they dig into Astarion's past and search for a cure for his vampiric affliction, they have to figure out how much they're willing to risk for a chance at a life together in a society where going against the norm could be disastrous. Hi there! This is my first fanfiction and I've never written anything like this, but I love this game and I love fantasy and RPGs so I wanted to try this out and started writing for myself. I really enjoyed writing it, so I decided to share it and I hope you'll enjoy it too. If you do, feel free to drop a comment :) I'm doing my best to stay true to the Forgotten Realms lore, but I might miss a few things here and there. Disclaimer: I want to make it clear that I don't own any of the Baldur's Gate 3 characters. They belong to their creators. But Talin and any other original characters you meet here are my own. Note: Some chapters reveal moments from the game, so be careful if you don't want any spoilers.
