Chapter One

Astarion x Resist Durge fanfic featuring an alternate universe where the events of BG3 never happen.

This story features plenty of blood, snark, the coldest layer of the hells, and smut. It has many of the characters crossing paths in different ways, some more meaningful than others. But primarily, it is a romance between Astarion and the Dark Urge. The tale begins with the two of them embracing their darkest nature, but their developing relationship will ultimately change their thinking and lead them to resist. It's plot driven but does have explicit content. The POV switches between Astarion, Durge, and occasional minor characters. It is written in the third person. There are Sleep Token song references woven throughout the story.
