Featuringโ Halsin, Astarion, Durge (Devi)
Summaryโ Short one-shot exploring the relationship between Devi, my drow dark urge bard, and her two partners in love and crime, Halsin Silverbough and Astarion Ancunin.
Publishedโ 4 January 2024.
I ran out of steam here (I'm a bit sleep-deprived ๐ ๐ด) but will finish updating this asap!
I realised I haven't shared some of my #monsterportfolio pics here on Tumblr, so here's some of my VP of some beasties, including the mother of monsters, Ghilan'nain!
Been working on my book, which for now is a BG3 and D&D fanfic (I plan to do my own world-building later once I have the main story done.)
The question is whether I should post it on AO3 as I go, or keep working offline? Let me know what you think!
I've included the prologue as a teaser below the fold!
Narya woke when she heard the key turning in the door. The massive iron slab swung open and she instinctively pushed back against the wall behind her, as if it would yield and swallow her.
She squeezed her eyes shut, her heart racing as she strained against her shackles, expecting the first blow to land at any moment. Instead, she heard a voice. Gentle, but urgent. โNarya.โ
Recognising the voice, she opened her eyes. Before her stood a wood elf with dark hair, scars over his left eye and a red ritual tattoo over his right. โGods, what have they done to you.โ His eyes shone in the darkness as he reached for her, and she flinched. Stunned by the pain lancing over her broken, torn skin, she could only groan in response.
Halsin slowed his movements. โNarya, Iโm not here to hurt you. Iโm here to free you.โ
โNowโs our chance, while theyโre distracted.โ
Narya watched the wood elf silently, her vision blurring as he slowly reached for the shackles around her ankles. โWhatโฆ what do you mean?โ She winced as pain lanced from the tear in her lip. โWhat happened?โ
Before Halsin could answer, a scream echoed through the halls of the dungeon. He moved faster as he reached for the shackles around her wrists, unlocking them with a snap.
โThereโs no time to explain. We have to get out of here. Now.โ
Narya could only watch silently as he moved, her mind shrouded in fog.
Her shackles undone, Halsinโs eyes tracked over her body and she looked down. The blood soaked rags she wore hid little, including the extensive network of cuts, burns and other wounds all over her torso, arms and legs.ย
Halsinโs lips thinned as he looked upon her.
Similarly dressed in little more than rags, his own scars shone in the darkness against his caramel skin. But unlike Narya, his wounds were freshly healed, the ragged edges pink. Naryaโs brows knitted together. โHowโฆ?โ
Closing his eyes, Halsin murmured an incantation under his breath. His eyes glowed a bright cyan colour as he reached for Naryaโs hand. Recognising the spell, she fought the urge to flinch and pull away from his touch.
She shuddered as the magic flowed from his palm into her skin. It reminded her of a gentle stream warmed by the noon day sun, and she sighed with relief as the worst of her wounds stitched closed.
Halsin smiled, but it didnโt reach his eyes.
โThatโs the best I can do for nowโโ A shout, much closer this time, interrupted him and the sound of blades clashing against one another followed soon after.
โWe must go. Now.โ
Despite the urgency in his voice, Halsin moved slowly as he reached for Narya, lifting her arm and wrapping his own around her as he lifted her.
But now, Naryaโs usually dark skin was pale and grey, a sheen of sweat across her forehead.
ย She bit down on her lip as the pain from her remaining injuriesโstill significant despite Halsinโs spellโripped through her. She stumbled, Halsin catching her just before she hit the floor.
He grimaced as he shifted her weight against him, holding her closer. โYouโve lost too much blood.โ Narya tried to lift her head to look at the wood elf, but felt too weak. Suddenly, everything was shrouded in darkness as she fell unconscious.

Hi everyone, and welcome to BG3FicRecs!
We're a group of writers and fanfic authors who have decided to come together to write reviews & recommendations of/for Baldur's Gate 3 fan fiction. We aim to support fanfic authors in our community by sharing the works we love (and what we love most about them) with the BG3 community.
Happy New Year! We have good newsโWe've re-opened our fic submissions for 2025! ๐๐ฅ
If you'd like us to read your fanfic, please have a look at our fic submission guidelines (below the fold), send us an ask and we'll add your work to our queue! ๐
Works currently in the queue are in the BG3FicRecs queue collection on AO3. Works we've already read and posted about are in this AO3 collection here.
We'd also like to sincerely apologise for the blog's inactivity in recent months. We love supporting the BG3 fanfic community, but unfortunately, our real-life obligations got in the way for a while there. For the new year, we want to do what we can to support fellow writers by getting the blog going again. ๐
Due to our long hiatus, we ask that all writers who submitted their work in 2024 please reach out to us to let us know whether they'd still like us to read their work. We'll try to reach out to writers individually, but since there are so many of you it would help us if you could send us an ask when you can.
Thank you for your support and please keep creating and sharing your incredible work!
Below the fold are our fic submission guidelines, our FAQs, and a master list of all our recs we've posted! ๐
Last updated: 7 January 2025.
FIC SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
When you submit your fic, please be sure to include the following:
A link to your work & the pseud/handle you publish under (regardless of platform)
The title of your work
Any tags we should be aware of
A brief summary
Any social media you would like to be tagged in the review when we publish it (please include a link to your profile)
If you have commissioned artwork for your fic, please feel free to let us know! We would be happy to post it with the review of your work
You can submit your fic to us through our asks here. Please note that we won't respond to your ask (unless we need further information) and we'll just add it to our queue and read it as soon as we can. Please don't worry when you don't get a response to your ask! You'll know all is well as soon as you spot your work in the review collection, which you can check here.
FAQs
We've put together an FAQs master post based on questions from the community! ๐ We'll update the FAQs as we go, so if you have any questions that aren't there, please send us an ask! We've gone into some detail about our goals for BG3FicRecs in this post.
REVIEW MASTER LIST
Please find our AO3 collection of works we've already read here.
The Wilted Dreams of Baldur's Gate series (Published 3 April 2024)
A seven-part collection examining Astarion and Tavโs relationship across the game and post-canon. Thereโs something for everyone in this series with some fluffy slice of life here, a little angst there, and a generous portion of smut.
Thunder Reforged: Rolan x Dammon works (Published 27 March 2024)
What's hotter than a tiefling wizard with a knack for a well-timed thunderwave? Said tiefling wizard having a rendezvous with his tiefling blacksmith paramour, of course.
The Loving Master series (Published 18 March 2024)
A series based on the worst possible version of Ascended Astarion as he masters the art of creating his own vampire spawn cohort and inflicts pain and anguish on them in what he has deluded himself into believing is 'kindness'. Tags include: NSFW; dead dove; sexual trauma.
Too Many Burdens to Bear (Published 15 March 2024)
A story based on the once Archdruid of the Emerald Grove Halsin Silverbough and his lover and partner Kiaran, the author's durge OC. Tags include: NSFW; sexual trauma.
Thank you so much to everyone who's responded to our call for fic submissions, either with new submissions or to confirm that they'd still like their fics to be read!
The team is really, really excited to dig in and get reading all your wonderful works. ๐
We're making some changes to our AO3 collection system, and so I hereby bring youโ
โจ Our latest update! โจ
I'm going to be moving all the fics submitted last year (and haven't been confirmed) to a 2024 collection on AO3, and will be starting a new collection that's for new submissions and those who confirmed they'd still like their work read by the team. That new collection will be the active queue for our 'To Be Read' list from now on, and you can check there to make sure I've put your fic through once you've submitted an ask to us. ๐
It will take a couple of days for me to sort that out, so please don't stress if you don't see your work in a collection yet! I'll post another update once that's sorted and reviewers have been assigned/have chosen fics to read from those submitted. ๐
Thank you so much for your patience and support! Please keep writing, creating, and having fun.
Sending you all the best creative vibes and endless inspiration! ๐

I'm moving my Sin Tumblr to a completely separate blog from my main, rather than a sub blog. I wanted to be able to join various communities under the name 'Sin', rather than under my main blog here, just to limit confusion etc.
I'll keep this one up for now while I figure things out, but if you want to listen to my latest erotic audio work, please check out my new blog, which I'll be updating over the course of this week!

This tool is optional. No one is required to use it, but it's here if you want to know which of your AO3 fics were scraped. Locked works were not 100% protected from this scrape. Currently, I don't know of any next steps you should be taking, so this is all informational.
Most people should use this link to check if they were included in the March 2025 AO3 scrape. This will show up to 2,000 scraped works for most usernames.
Or you can use this version, which is slower but does a better job if your username is a common word. This version also lets you look up works by work ID number, which is useful if you're looking for an orphaned or anonymous fic.
If you have more than 2,000 published works, first off, I am jealous of your motivation to write that much. But second, that won't display right on the public version of the tools. You can send me an ask (preferred) or DM (if you need to) to have me do a custom search for you if you have more than 2,000 total works under 1 username. If you send an ask off-anon asking me to search a name, I'll assume you want a private answer.
In case this post breaches containment: this is a tool that only has access to the work IDs, titles, author names, chapter counts, and hit counts of the scraped fics for this most recent scrape by nyuuzyou discovered in April 2025. There is no other work data in this tool. This never had the content of your works loaded to it, only info to help you check if your works were scraped. If you need additional metadata, I can search my offline copy for you if you share a work ID number and tell me what data you're looking for. I will never search the full work text for anyone, but I can check things like word counts and tags.
Please come yell if the tool stops working, and I'll fix as fast as I can. It's slow as hell, but it does load eventually. Give it up to 10 minutes, and if it seems down after that, please alert me via ask! Anons are on if you're shy. The link at the top is faster and handles most users well.
On mobile, enable screen rotation and turn your phone sideways. It's a litttttle easier to use like that. It works better if you can use desktop.
Some FAQs below the cut:
"What do I need to do now?": At this time, the main place where this dataset was shared is disabled. As far as I'm aware, you don't need to do anything, but I'll update if I hear otherwise. If you're worried about getting scraped again, locking your fics to users only is NOT a guarantee, but it's a little extra protection. There are methods that can protect you more, but those will come at a cost of hiding your works from more potential readers as well.
"I know AO3 will be scraped again, and I'm willing to put a silly amount of effort into making my fics unusable for AI!": Excellent, stick around here. I'm currently trying to keep up with anyone working on solutions to poison our AO3 fics, and I will be reblogging information about doing this as I come across it.
"I want my fics to be unusable for AI, but I wanna be lazy about it.": You're so real for that, bestie. It may take awhile, but I'm on the lookout for data poisoning methods that require less effort, and I will boost posts regarding that once I find anything reputable.
"I don't want to know!": This tool is 100% optional. If you don't want to know, simply don't click the link. You are totally welcome to block me if it makes you feel more comfortable.
"Can I see the exact content they scraped?": Nope, not through me. I don't have the time to vet every single person to make sure they are who they say they are, and I don't want to risk giving a scraped copy of your fic to anyone else. If you really want to see this, you can find the info out there still and look it up yourself, but I can't be the one to do it for you.
"Are locked fics safe?": Not safe, but so far, it appears that locked fics were scraped less often than public fics. The only fics I haven't seen scraped as of right now are fics in unrevealed collections, which even logged-in users can't view without permission from the owner.
"My work wasn't a fic. It was an image/video/podfic.": You're safe! All the scrape got was stuff like the tags you used and your title and author name. The work content itself is a blank gap based on the samples I've checked.
"It's slow.": Unfortunately, a 13 million row data dashboard is going to be on the slow side. I think I've done everything I can to speed it up, but it may still take up to 10 minutes to load if you use the second link. It's faster if you can use desktop or the first link, but it should work on your phone too.
"My fic isn't there.": The cut-off date is around February 15th, 2025 for oneshots, but chapters posted up to March 21st, 2025 have been found in the data so far. I had to remove a few works from the dataset because the data was all skrungly and breaking my tool. (The few fics I removed were NOT in English.) Otherwise, from what I can tell so far, the scraper's code just... wasn't very good, so most likely, your fic was missed by random chance.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the cost to host the tool! I appreciate you so so so much. As of this edit, I've received more donations than what I paid to make this tool so you do NOT need to keep sending money. (But I super appreciate everyone who did help fund this! I just wanna make sure we all know it's all paid for now, so if you send any more that's just going to my savings to fix the electrical problems with my house. I don't have any more costs to support for this project right now.)
(Made some edits to the post on 27-May-2025 to update information!)
Gonna pass this around once more with an addition!
Here is a tool that can be used to poison your current and future AO3 fics if you would like to reduce the chances that your work will be useful to scrapers in the future. You can thank the lovely @all-hail-trash-prince for writing the code and for making it more accessible to those who don't know how to run code.
Here is me doing a very brief runthrough on the current version of the tool (as of this reblog).
I'm not saying you have to use this tool. I'm just boosting it as one potential path forward for those who want to reduce the quality of their fics for future scrapers without reducing the quality for readers on AO3, including those using screen readers to narrate your fics. You can choose to use it for zero fics, one fic, some of your fics, or all of your fics. Entirely up to you if you want to do this.
Poisoning your fics now does not undo nyuuzyou's scrape. The data, while a little less accessible now, is still out there in a few locations. There's no undoing that, and there will always be a copy of the fics scraped by nyuuzyou. Poisoning your fics is a method to protect you from future scrapes. The protection doesn't reduce the risk that you will be scraped, but it highly increases the chance that the scraper will not be able to use your fic for anything useful, including AI training. There's no surefire way to protect your fics short of not sharing them at all, but this tool provides the best balance I've seen of protecting them from unwanted use and still allowing you to share with real readers.
And once more for anyone who hasn't caught it yet: I am not directly affiliated with AO3. This is a third party tool that you may choose to use or may choose to ignore.
