Ah, drink it in - that sweet, sweet chaos.
Not that I approve of goblins, of course - filthy little beasts - but I do like a good den of debauchery.

I'm still trying to decide between to heads rn but ig I'll change it again jf I want to later 𼲠IDK WHY I DIDNT GIVE HER THE MUSCLE MOMMY PHYSIQUE đđ her being short is not Scarlett lore accurate !!
He can drink my blood and I would say thank you
all common sense leaving my body when he pulls out this look.
I'd give my first newborn to play with his hair, do little braids in it and let him rest
Oh, that hair.
The corpse regards you, lifelessly

I thought I'd reblog this with some screenshots from this chapter! These are some of my faves so far!

IT'S FINALLY TIME!!!!! I have taken a deep breath, poured over these two damn chapters all day, and I'm finally ready to upload!! đ¤ Special thanks to all the hype I got from this gang- I love them so much đ¤ Thank you for hyping me every step of the way!

Please enjoy Ofelia, my idiotic Earthling Tav/OC, trying to survive and make friends in Faerun after getting kidnapped from her realm! This is a fun, sometimes dark and angsty isekai adventure- what would happen if BG3 wasn't a thing on Earth, or D&D? How would you fare?
Opening of Chapter 1: Chasing Rabbits under the cut!
Summary: A street-smart, musically inclined human girl with a tragic past gets abducted by a nautiloid after her painfully average shift at a retro singing diner. What's worse- putting your all into Olivia Newton-John and Travolta for lousy tips, or getting your guts ripped out by a gnoll? Or worse- getting turned into a hideous humanoid squid? Ofelia Montez will have to see if she can survive long enough to find out.
Pairing: Astarion x female!Tav
Warnings: 18+. Mentions of past abuse and trauma. Canon-typical violence and gore.
Word Count for Both 1 & 2 Combined: 12,093
When logic and proportion,
Have fallen sloppy dead.
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the red queenâs off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your headâŚ
***
An eerie quiet moves through the streets, cars fewer and farther between than normal. An unsettling feeling crawls over Ofeliaâs skin and she shrugs her coat closer to her body, warding the night air off as she turns down a familiar alley. Her tiny apartment window glints at the end of the shadowed corridor and she grins, reaching into her pack to step back into her rollerblades. This last stretch has always been the most fun, and perhaps itâs the trepidation hanging in the night, but a smile and some exhilaration seem like the perfect medicine. She just has to get home, kick start her weekend with a cocktail and a good book, and tomorrow sheâll finally be able to adopt the cat of her dreams.
With the last lace tied, she secures her skirt and hunches over, preparing to rocket down the alleyway. She feels her muscles tense, sets her jaw- prepares to beat her personal best. She can taste the moisture in the air and the warning of the impending storm approaching, feels it in her bones as she mentally counts down.
3⌠2⌠1âŚ
She never moves. Something flickers out of the corner of her eye, large and black and hulking in the night. It roils and undulates in the sky above the city, sweeping over the buildings like a dark tidal wave. She doesnât have time to scream when the mass careens towards her, doesnât have time to raise her arms in defense of a hit that never comes. Sheâs only greeted with total black as her world spins out of control and she falls unconscious.

âUgh, what is it that youâre furiously scribbling down?â Astarion asks, folding his legs over his lap as Ofelia hunches over that journal sheâd shown them the first night. She flicks her eyes up at him and he tenses.
Thatâs right. Sheâd seen a little too much today- ever since the boar sheâs been distancing herself from him. Itâs slight but still noticeable, and he needs to get close again or else he may lose herâŚ
âIâm drawing,â She murmurs, uncrossing her legs to stretch and hold the book against her thigh. They sit near the fringes of camp, Gale beginning to prepare for dinner as the others set up tents and wind down for the day.
âWhat is it youâre drawing?â Ofelia perks up, and he mentally breathes a sigh of relief that she seems to want to engage with him again.
âI like to journal, and when Iâm done Iâll fill the spaces around the page with things Iâve seen that day. Here look,â She scoots over to him and he stiffens in her presence as she thumbs through it. His eyes track over the wizardâs face, Shadowheartâs, Laeâzelâs, and even Wyllâs. Thereâs another form on the opposite page beside her messy penmanship, and instead of a bust, itâs the entire figure. The angles are sharp, broad shoulders, narrow hips, and long legs. The more time he spends looking, the realization begins to dawn on him who sheâs drawn, and the ruby irises glare back at him disapprovingly.
âOh,â He murmurs, regretfully watching her flip the page to a warg, a goblin, and Withers. There are a few spaces where sheâs filled them with just eyes, more of them red than any of the others. He sees birds, the tiefling man- he snorts- depictions of the moon and different weapons. Theyâre impressive for just sketches, and she turns to another page where sheâs been focusing on each of their heads. His breathing goes still when she shows him his.
âSorry if itâs a little strange, I usually draw from memory or references, so Iâve been going with whatâs around me, hence sketching you all.â Her smile is sheepish and fragile and he nods, not paying too close attention.
He reaches up to touch his lips- are they really that plush? Are his brows that full? Are his ears really that long, or is she exaggerating? And the dot on his cheek- thereâs no way he has blemishes. Whatâs she playing at?
He smiles softly, covering up the warble in his voice with a slight laugh.
âDarling, my ears arenât that big.â She chuckles.
âTheyâre pretty big, trust me,â

All About Your Tav/Durge and Their Romantic Interest
Thank you for the tag @allymcfee !! â¤â¤
Your Tav/Durge's Name and Their Partner:
Ofelia (?) & Astarion (?) - their futures are currently in flux! đ¤đ¤
Tell Us About Your Character - Anything at All!
I've talked about her many times, like here, here, and here! She's from Earth, she's learning how to be a bard to help her companions, and she cares about them a lot đ¤ She is innately kind, but she has a dark past and a mysterious condition. đ¤
What Do They Enjoy Doing Together?
I may have to answer these with a bit of the future in mind- at present in the story, they've barely just started becoming friends. I would say that so far, they seem to enjoy talking, even if Astarion doesn't realize he likes talking to her. He will đ¤
What's Something Your Character's Partner Loves About Them?
This may be cheating, but Astarion loves Ofelia's blood. If he could choose another quality, he secretly likes that she doesn't give up being nice to him, even when he isn't sure what to do with it. He also really likes her eyes đ¤
Their Life After Baldur's Gate?
I really wish I could get into this because I have it all planned out, but alas we're still in Act 1 in both the game and the fic. :(
Something Your Tav/Durge Loves About Their Partner?
Ofelia loves Astarion's red eyes and the way he gets more vampire-like when he drinks. She also likes his "big ass" ears and his sense of humor.
Something That Your Character and Their Partner Both Hate (about anything):
I'd say that both Ofelia and Astarion hate their respective tormentors, know-it-alls, authority, and excessive heat. Both of them can get pretty irritable, lol.
They're both so cute :")
