Jealous Gods (BG3 Canon/AU)
Fandoms: Baldur’s Gate (Dark Urge run)
Relationships: Astarion/OC (f/m)
(This could change to poly.)
Summary: An adventurer named Lyra wakes up from unconsciousness on a mind flayer dimension-crossing ship infected with a parasitic tadpole that threatens to transform her into a mind flayer. Alongside several others who have met the same fate, they are forced to go on a quest to find a remedy to prevent ceremorphosis. However, Lyra found herself without her memories and resisting unwanted urges/thoughts, unlike her traveling companions. Missing memories and a lot of questions, with experiences in pain and pleasure.
However, as this story goes on...things might get interesting.

Chapter 4 Summary:
As night approaches, Lyra splits from the group to scout the wreckage and gather supplies. While searching, she encounters a pale, well-dressed elf who lures her into a trap and pins her at knifepoint, accusing her of working with the mind flayers. Lyra quickly turns the situation around, subduing him, but both are struck by a psychic surge from their parasites, linking their thoughts and revealing shared experiences as victims.
Realizing the truth, the tension dissolves. The elf introduces himself as Astarion, a Baldurian vampire spawn, and the two cautiously lower their guard. They discuss the parasite and its threat, with Astarion considering control while Lyra insists on removal. Despite initial hostility, they agree to work together for survival.
Lyra invites Astarion to join her group, though she warns him of her unstable condition and violent urges. Intrigued rather than deterred, Astarion accepts, seeing value in her strength and unpredictability. The two leave together, forming a tentative alliance built on necessity, curiosity, and mutual danger
Rating: Baseline Mature due to the game
