This is a guide to the fanfic pieces I’ve written as part of my experience with Baldur’s Gate 3. This essay describes the relationship between my BG3 playthroughs and the fanfic I’ve written about them.

|---|---|---|
| Go to Hell | Playthough 8 write-up | Introduction of Druid Angela, the Hero Hireling, as a character. |
| The Trail of Evil | ||
| Recognition | ||
| Laurelin | Playthrough 9 write-up | Laurelin’s story is woven through a general playthrough write-up. The introduction of Sorcerer Sabrina as a character. |
| Wicked – Coven | Playthrough 13 write-up | The introduction of Wicked Sandalwood as a character. This is written in a faux narrative voice, with some game mechanics sprinkled in. |
| Wicked – Betrayals | ||
| Wicked – Spells | ||
| Wicked – Vengeance | ||
| Wicked – Evil | ||
| Doubts | You can be Arctic Druid Angela too Three | The first pictorial fanfic. The formal introduction of Karma, Wings, the dryad, and the wood woad as characters. (The “You can be Arctic Druid Angela” series looks at how to play a low-powered character at a high difficulty level.) |
| What about that date? | You can be Arctic Druid Angela too Four | The dryad gets a name. |
| The story of Druid Angela | Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 | Thanks to BG1&2, Druid Angela gets a back story. We meet Drangela for the first time, though I don’t name her in the story. |
| What is this? | You can be Arctic Druid Angela too Five | My BG3 system essays formally get fanfic prefixes and suffixes with this article. The other creatures that Druid Angela can summon get names: the wood woad, the water elemental, the ice mephits. |
| The Last Minion | ||
| Wake up | You can be Arctic Druid Angela too Six | Bedroom stuff. |
| Relationship check-in | The dryad and the wood woad have a conversation. | |
| We made it, soldier | You can be Arctic Druid Angela too Seven | I experiment with PG-13 nudity in the pictorial. |
| One last casualty | We learn something of Druid Angela’s family, and the link between her and the Druid Angela of my BG1&2 playthrough. | |
| I’m a succubus | Playthrough 3’ – Tav and Trophies | The introduction of Dark Urge Tav. More PG-13 nudity. |
| Failure | I add more Forgotten Realms lore to the stories. | |
| A new member of our team | Alchemy and Transmutation Wizardry | The introduction of Eglantine. |
| Who is this? | ||
| The Chronicler | Pictorial fanfic inspired by my playthrough 17 | Introducing a new character who is definitely not Gary Stu… probably. |
| The Jump | A special moment turns sour. | |
| The Bed | Some beds are used for a nap. Not this one. | |
| Collections | Stones and thrones. | |
| Flight | zhak vo’n’fynh duj. | |
| Captions | Virtual Photography – 2 of 4 | In my multi-part essay on virtual photography, I evolve a piece of fanfic. |

| Epilogue | Virtual Photography – 4 of 4 | A follow-up to both the fanfic developed in the essay so far and the Dark Urge Tav story. |
Still to come: Fanfic inspired by my playthrough 18, playthrough 15, and a rescue.
