Rare Pairs 1: A Baldur's Gate 3 Fanfiction Rec List

This week, we have our first iteration of another recurring theme, Rare Pairs!

Rare Pairs are any romantic ships with less than 1000 fics to their name. This recurring theme is to help highlight ships that are often overlooked or buried beneath more popular ships.

Check under the cut for twelve excellent fics/series highlighting some wonderful yet overlooked ships, as well as a handful of unexpected yet intriguing ones! And as always, comment and kudos if you like them!

The cursed ships of Baldur's Gate by Amarilis_ancunin (100702, Explicit) Content Notes: Each fic has its own warnings, but some common ones include smut, dubious consent, canon-typical violence, and more. Pairings: Various, inclusive of Wulbren Bongle/Cazador Szarr, Barcus Wroot/Kar'niss, Lorroakan/Enver Gortash, Raphael/Vlaakith

This isn't just one fic: it's a whole series of wild, off the wall pairings that do not naturally come to mind but are absolutely delightful when they make it to the page.

Reccer says: Every single one of these pairings can fit the Kombucha Girl meme. At first oh-my-god, and at second look, oh-my-god-maybe? with the added joy of the writing being lovely to read and actual plot behind the smut.

Surround Sound by Irken (68,140 , Mature) Content Notes: hurt/comfort Pairings: The Emperor/Illithid Tav

This is a post-game series of vignettes about Tav learning how to be a proper illithid and the Emperor learning that he doesn't need to be such a guarded, self-sufficient loner. It's fluffy slice-of-life with a loose power-of-friendship-&-love plot about the pair rebuilding the city while helping their companions get their happy endings, too.

Reccer says: I wrote this! :'3 It's my baby. It's largely fluff, and I've been told that it 'brings joy' and 'feels like a warm hug.' So, if you like squids and want something to cheer you up, maybe give it a look~

Eat your eyes, your visions, your goals, your hunger. (Drink your blood, your breadth, your mettle.) by martyrologics (4,651, Mature) Content Notes: None Pairings: The Absolute/The Dark Urge

Trippy, mindmelding, Absolute/The Dark Urge smut, in like, the best kind of way.

Reccer says: The author's prose is gorgeous--you'll want to eat it. The descriptions of the brain becoming the Absolute becoming the Netherbrain, and its obsession with the Dark Urge are as purple as they come and it is a psychic maelstrom of awesomeness.

Learning to be Free by CobaltCactus (103,256, Explicit) Content Notes: None Pairings: Lae'zel/Shadowheart

Lae'zel and Shadowheart have been through HELL together and come out the other side way more than friends. Read along as they come to terms with losing large parts of their self-identities, gaining each other, and their experience in building a healthy relationship. The story also explores the consequences of their adventures together!

Reccer says: I love the balance between the various painful elements of their post game life and the tooth-rotting fluff of them getting to love each other! It's all just very well done!

Where Beauty Moves and Wit Delights by rainbowBarnacle (5776, Mature) Content Notes: None Pairings: Astarion/Karlach

An alternative take on what Karlach and Astarion could have gotten up to at the Tiefling party... who needs to touch to be naughty?

Reccer says: It seems like such an easy solution!! Good Karlach POV too, seeing how she starts wondering about this weird little fancy-vamp.

Before The First Light (Some Bright Morning Comes) by tinybabydeer (11191, Explicit) Content Notes: None Pairings: Halsin/Wyll

A nice, slow build exploration of how badly Wyll needs someone like Halsin to help him improve his self worth, even if he didn't expect it

Reccer says: The character voices are spot on and the prose is excellent. I didn't expect to enjoy this ship but this fic 100% changed my mind

On the Properties of Tea and Its Effects Upon Various Beings, Humanoid and Otherwise by Neila_Nuruodo (8619, Mature) Content Notes: None Pairings: Blurg/Omeluum

Blurg has finally found a place for himself in the world. While a hobgoblin running an apothecary might sound like a mere curiosity, he prides himself on the efficacy of his remedies. When the shop next to his, long vacant, is finally rented, he is naturally curious who might have rented it and what plans they have for the space. He certainly didn't expect it to be an illithid.

Reccer says: Its such a cute and fun little AU. Omeluum opens a tea shop and Blurg operates a shop next door and they get to meet and slowly fall in love and I just love it

Petals of Blood by DarkLordJordan (5855, Teen) Content Notes: Hanahaki Disease, Body Horror, Suicidal Thoughts Pairings: Astarion/Halsin

Astarion falls prey to Hanahaki disease, and obviously refuses to tell anyone, least of all Halsin, about it. But hey, don't worry. He can't suffocate on the flowers anyway so its fine!

Reccer says: Excellent hurt/comfort and a fun exploration of the trope

when flames die by fingonsradharp (5502, Teen) Content Notes: Temporary Character Death Pairings: Karlach/Wyll

Karlach falls in battle, Wyll does not feel very good about that at all, and the party meets Withers

Reccer says: I love the early party characterizations and the drama of everyone trying to fathom Withers as a concept

Pale Elf Needs Food, Badly! by Gally (12,434, Mature) Content Notes: Canon-Typical Violence Pairings: Astarion/Karlach

What if Balthazar could to zap away Astarion’s energy reserves and thus he instantly felt as if he had not eaten for months? What then? How do you quickly feed a vampire who is so ravenous that even the vampire is saying it's not safe to let him bite? Well, Astarion instantly pretty much assumes he's about to be staked as he has to be more trouble than he's worth now, right? Don't worry, Mama K is here! and these other guys too. Time to figure it out!

Reccer says: Love the characterizations and the whump is absolutely delectable

Meeting the parents is stressful, isn't it by SpiffyVaxildan (1740, Teen) Content Notes: None Pairings: The Dark Urge/Shadowheart

Set about a year after the defeat of the Netherbrain above Baldur's Gate, Hope has been slowly regaining her memories of childhood from before her Bhaal blood took over. She remembers her foster parents and wants to visit their grave. Shadowheart comes along for moral support.

Reccer says: A short and sweet fic set post game. I don't see a lot of durge/shadowheart so this was a treat. The author has a fun writing style and I'm always a sucker for funny love confessions.

Liar's Embrace by MoisopolonOikia (3671, Explicit) Content Notes: None Pairings: Florrick/Mizora

In which Lady Mizora goes to visit her favorite counsellor to apologize for the political fuss she may have caused.

Reccer says: A rare pair indeed! Come get your toxic lesbians (affectionate)! This fic was so fun and so well written, the pair I didn't know I needed until I read this.

A Christmas Visitor-justyrae https://archiveofourown.org/works/9052360

Weight of Your Love-sunshinexbomb In which Niall moves back to Ireland two years into the One Direction hiatus and rediscovers music, home, and his relationship with Bressie.

You and Me and the Stars-orphan_account Niall hadn’t seen Bressie for years, but that didn’t stop his past feelings from resurfacing. If there was one thing Niall knew though, it was that he wasn’t a kid anymore. “The whole galaxy surrounded them, and little flecks of light reflected off their bodies and the bed, bathing them in a dim light. Bressie looked so beautiful with the stars on his face and chest. It made Niall’s heart stop for a second.”

hope you’re here to stay-glazedsun https://archiveofourown.org/works/4816235 Niall gave Bressie a soft smile, the one that made his heart flutter. It was a smile completely reserved for Bressie. It wasn’t the big, but genuine, smile that he gave the rest of the world. It wasn’t the utterly amused and fond smile that he reserved for his bandmates, or even the relaxed one he shared with his family. No, Bressie had only seen this smile directed his way, and it was all a bit overwhelming. Or, the one in which Niall is a bright light in Bressie’s darkness.

Bated Breath-tinybabydeer https://archiveofourown.org/works/2579180 It was funny how Bressie’s memories could play tricks on him. Between the dreams and the drinks, he couldn’t remember who reached out first.

fool yourself (but we can’t pretend)-carissima https://archiveofourown.org/works/2147442 He can’t stop staring at the picture. Niall should, by all rights, look ridiculous in it. He should look swamped by the hoodie, like a kid playing dress up in someone else’s clothes. But he doesn’t. Christ, he really doesn’t look ridiculous at all. He does look small though, Bressie realises, with the sleeves bunched around his thin wrists like before. He looks small and he looks gorgeous. Or Bressie tries his hardest not to think about Niall while he jerks off and fails miserably. And feelings. And pining.

Don’t Break My Android Heart-balefully https://archiveofourown.org/works/1219678 In the not-too-distant future, Bressie is a sculptor on a routine trip to gather materials for his new project. He finds a malfunctioning high-end bot and decides to take it home, but ends up getting much more than he bargained for. Together with his group of friends, Bressie navigates the ins and outs of his mysterious discovery, and finds himself falling for the droid despite everything he thought he knew

All the Way Down Your Spine-alexenglish https://archiveofourown.org/works/8869351 Bressie kind of has a thing for the gorgeous, funny, sweet camboy he watches every week. It’s not a big thing, but it’s definitely a thing. Which is why he’s double-taking at every blonde twenty-something he sees hoping – well. He’s being dumb about it, really. Kyle Kox is somewhere in America going to uni and playing soccer, and definitely not stood in the middle of Tesco in Mullingar.

Always post the rules

- Answer the questions of the person who tagged you and write 11 new ones - Tag 11 people and link them - Let them know that they have been tagged

1) Favorite anime.

ohjhnlskgj that's difficult. i haven't watched anime in quite a while, but back wne i was watching all the time, i was head over heels for petite princess yucie. tiny adorable magical girls in all different colors wanting to grow up and be real princesses. so cuuute. i also love kare kano because yukino and arima are my little slytherin babies uwu

more and the tagged ppl under the cut uwu

currently? "oh. well i'm gonna bertell you what i bertold him" from the tfs attack on titan abridged lol

3) Describe an OC of yours. Come on you know you have at least one.

ffff okay uh i had one a while back, for a story i did in class. her name is enne, short for sebastienne. she wears thick dreads down her back in a herringbone braid and the ends are bleached white with damage. her skin is like dark sienna and she has deep circles under her almond shaped grey eyes and freckles across her cheekbones. and she's fleshy but not overweight with a tummy that only just pokes over her jeans and makes the highwaisted shorts she wears show a little bit of a roll at her hips. her knees are scarred from running after the bus as a kid and her ears are slightly pointed. she only just came into the realization that she's super hot, and now she's really stuck up about it. she didn't used to be, though.

4) What were you doing a year ago today?

i was living in another off campus house, closer to campus. i was probably ignoring my homework, like i am today

5) Do you think you are in good health?

honestly idk????? bcus i still get really sick on my period and i haven't been working out, but i have been eating at home more lately and my skin is clearer than it's been in a while? 

6) Favorite pokemon.

the cyndaquil evolutionary line. YES THAT COUNTS AS ONE POKEMON ;-;

7) On a scale of “Their treatment of bisexuality” to “their abysmal inability to conjure a plotline without shitty plotholes and hastily rewritten explanations for past events”, how much do you dislike Glee? (keep in mind I love season 1 but it fell into a steady decline until I flipped a table over Will reading Sue’s eulogy at Sue’s sister’s own damn funeral)

ughhhh, i don't even know anymore. i stopped watching halfway through season four almost on accident, because i simply could not bear any more of the blatant racism that goes on in that show. plus, mercedes/samcedes was gone (and they fucking shoved brittany and sam together W/O ANY FUCKING CLOSURE FOR SAMCEDES), sebastian wasn't around, tina still wasn't getting screen time, mike had fled the building, they'd long dropped matt off the face of the earth, quinn when she was around seemed to be in a constant state of impromptu character rewrite, and blaine FUCKING cheated w/o any major consequences so there was really not much left for me there anymore, aside from kurt, santana, and the new kids. and i only really like unique and jake out of them, marley and ryder are a bit too beige to garner interest in me. i still ship kurtbastian like the hand of god tho (my yt thirst for the pair of them is still strong like bull) and season one was still racist but better than most, so i'm at the "brittany constantly mistaking unique for mercedes and it being played up for motherfucking laughs" level on the dislike scale. :<

[EDIT: OH AND THE ABLEISM TOO JFC GLEE HOW COULD I FORGET]

8) What do you wear to sleep?

when i'm in the apartment most times a tank top and shorts. but at my house i wear nightgowns

9) Describe your ideal cosplay.

ballgown of some sort. maybe princess tiana? or barring that, midna from twilight princess in her true form, i would die if i got to do that

10) What color is your hair?

right now kind of a brown gold color, but my roots are coming in a bit

11) What is your favorite shirt?

my shirt that says 'i'm an accelerated reader' i won it (along with like five medals i've since lost) in fourth grade by beating out the entire motherfucking elementary school (grades k-6) in a reading contest. and then when i went to a middle school in a new district they made fun of me for it so i stopped wearing it, but i give less than two shits now, it's my fave so SUCK IT EMILY KIMBALL I HOPE YOU GOOGLE YOURSELF AND FIND THIS
