The Great Wyllstarion Multiverse Caper Fic: An Implementation Guide by partingxshot
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
21 Nov 2025

Summary
This meta serves, in part, as a historical record of a 110k-word multiverse megaproject completed by the Wyllstarion fandom ("Be My Mirror"). It also serves as an implementation guide for similar projects. The experience was super rewarding, and I hope someone else gives it a shot one day!

Summary
It’s easy to brighten a scene. She’s helped Mio do it countless times: a well-timed joke or piece of endearing dialog. It’s easy to keep things from becoming too grim.
It’s harder, she finds, to acknowledge despair. To sit with it, and breathe with it, and make her pen move.

Summary
The young acolyte learns three things about Astarion very quickly.
Firstly, he’s not a cleric—if there’s such a thing as the opposite of a cleric, Astarion is probably that.
Secondly, he knows a startling number of Ilmatari clerics anyway. He claims Brother Kycus owes him money.
Thirdly, and perhaps most pertinently, he knows how to pick a lock.
“That’s the value of an independent contractor,” he says breezily, tinkering with a back-alley door. “Your Revered Mother is a practical sort. Likes to use the tools she has.”
(Or: Astarion romanced a cleric. After, they live in the space between absolutes.)

Summary
You can't throw a rock in the Shadow-Cursed Lands without hitting a ghost with a tragic backstory. Fertile ground for a cleric of compassion. How tedious, then, that Lash keeps fucking it up.
(Or: Tav is a cleric. Astarion once prayed to every god and received no reply. The Shadowlands are something of a trial.)

Summary
He chokes on her first blessing. Motes of god-light rise from his skin like dust in a rotting house. Like pious little fungal spores.
Tavstarion wherein Tav is a half-orc cleric of Ilmater named Lash. Heavy emphasis on how Astarion interacts with the cleric bit specifically. Contains h/c, overbearing religious symbolism, and (potentially) facing God to walk backwards into hell.

Summary
“Fool,” I scoffed, “and liar craven! There’s in you no shade of Raven
And my halls will not play haven to such bald falsehoods as yours.”
In reply, he pale hand raised and brought his finger to the fore—
A ring there, no gilding more.Bookmarked by partingxshot

Summary
Damian was looking at Dick, now, meeting his gaze with ferocity. Dick should say something. Something like I love you, Damian. Or I love you, Damian, because you're Bruce's son, and because I have to. Or even I don't love you, Damian, but I'm getting there.
They reached the third floor in silence.
----
Bruce is dead.
Dick takes Damian to the museum.
