Summary
It's six months after the fall of the absolute and Halsin is still fighting the shadow curse alone. Gale didn't quite feel like that was fair. After all, everyone else in their merry little band got their happy ending. Why shouldn't Halsin get one of his own?

Summary
Halsin was apprehensive about sleeping indoors. Thaniel, shockingly, seemed more than pleased to do so. Though, the little spirit might have more in mind for their evening.

Summary
Halsin had stepped valiantly into a portal that blinked out of existence when their party was overwhelmed in combat. They hadn’t been close all those years ago, but Halsin had been the first to die, and Astarion would be the last as he was always destined to be. There was something meaningful in that.
Immortality leaves one with rather a lot of years to keep track of. 150 years since saving the realm. 146 years since marrying Wyll. 79 years since becoming a widow. 13 years since the last of his former companions passed on without him.
Of all the things Astarion has suffered in his long life, the one blow he's no longer capable of weathering is suffering all on his own. When he finds his way to the Shadow-Cursed lands in search of place to waste away in peace, the last thing he expects to find is a kindred spirit in similar need of healing.

“Good tears, dear,” Astarion reassured before any doubt could take root. “Good tears. I promise.”

There’s something wrong with the druid by HermeticPrinciples for ashamedbliss
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
28 Jun 2025

Summary
A “renowned healer,” the others in the Emerald Grove called him. Astarion didn’t really understand what that meant at first because Halsin’s healing magic honestly isn’t that much more impressive than a cleric’s. Now, he gets it. Everything the druid does is calculated, intentional, and all done for the benefit of others. It’s subtle, too—done with the stealth of a seasoned rogue…
And no one notices—except for Astarion; he notices because in his world such a thing is quite out of place—nothing like it was ever allowed to take root in the master’s palace; Halsin’s kindness is as radiant as the Morninglord’s monastery and just as deadly to ancient darkness.
Astarion isn’t the only beast in camp. Halsin is a werebear and guardian of nature. Astarion is a product of the Shadowfell’s darkness. They form an uneasy truce but later, in their similarities as well as their differences, find love and understanding, too.
Or: where Halsin also needs support and Astarion is the unlikely answer.

a crooked touch (Astarion x m!Tav) by eyes_of_the_lamb
Fandom: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
16 Nov 2024
Summary
“Make it hurt, then. Kiss me like you want to kill me.”
“I can do that.”
Two broken stars in a decaying orbit, passing closer and closer together until the inevitable, devastating collision.
Or, Tav is fucked up and down bad for Astarion, who doesn't quite see the appeal (but he's getting there). Sexual frustration, sloppy handjobs, a heavy dose of masochism, and way too many failed Insight checks ahead. Tav falls first, Astarion falls harder (eventually).
Or, a tragic-but-hopeful romance told through a series of incredibly ill-advised sexual encounters.
If you want to read a story where Astarion is sweet from the start and Tav is here to fix him, this isn't the one. If you want to read about two terribly broken men spending a good long while making each other worse before they make each other better, this might be for you. If you thought the in-game romance was a little too easy and it should have been ten times more painful and difficult to convince Astarion he's worthy of love, this is definitely for you.
Set during the canonical events of Baldur's Gate 3.

Summary
As soon as Maya and her group rescue Halsin from the goblin camp's dungeon, it's clear there's an undeniable spark between them. It seems even the divine thinks the druid and ranger make a perfect pair, nudging their paths together in what could be a perfect union - a match made by fate itself.
But when love and loyalty are involved, even the most seemingly destined pairings can become complicated.Series

Summary
A century before the Nautiloid came crashing down, Halsin and Astarion met, for one night only. The most curious and morbid circumstances bring them together and they part with bitterness, expecting and hoping to never see each other again, but fate seems to have other plans in mind.

Summary
A collection of one-shots following my Baldur’s Gate mains — Revna, a Wood Elf Spore Druid; Athios, a Lolthite Drow Monk Durge; and a few familiar souls who wander in from their stories.
It’ll include post-canon events, flashbacks, glimpses of their pasts, a mix of angst and comfort—and a fair dose of tasteful smut.
Tags will be added as the collection grows and new stories find their place, they won't follow a specific order.

Summary
Halsin had never imagined someone could be that beautiful, even if covered in sweat and dirty, panting after the exhausting fight she had to endure for protecting the portal he opened for saving Thaniel. Leto’s hair was tied in a high ponytail, something he had seen her do rarely, only in moments she needed to be focused, like when they were planning the assault on Moonrise Tower with Jaheira and her Harpers. On that occasion he noticed a tiny birthmark on the base of her neck that was usually hidden under that fierce mane of flaming hair. He had to gather all his forces not to lean closer and kiss it. He could not fool himself any more: he was attracted to that human girl that entered his life as a chaotic tornado of colors and laughs, the young druid that was wiser than him yet had the same enthusiasm of a child when seeing the first snow falling.

Summary

Summary
After revealing his intentions to Tav with his apparently dirty reading habits Gale confessed to Tav how seeing her in battle makes him feel, of course this is neither the time nor the place. Stewing sexual tension builds up to Gale being reminded that Tav doesn't need a grand magical gesture to love him, a kiss and a conjured bed for them to share will do just fine.

Summary
Set after the events of the main game but just before Withers's party.
_____
There was a moment where Bex had thought she'd finally found something she could rely on - a family, a home. And then Astarion ascended and all the rest of her friends left her behind. Alone in the city she saved from destruction, she finds herself slipping further and further into the fog that has long threatened to overwhelm her.
Bex is sure she's going to die like this. Worse, it doesn't even seem like anyone will even miss her. It's a relief when Raphael comes back from the dead, hells-bent on retaliating against her for breaking into his house and killing him. But then, to her disappointment, he doesn't kill her. Instead, he offers her a deal.
Her body in exchange for the vampire's soul._____

Summary
"At their young age, the world seemed endless in opportunity, and the concept of loss was a distant thing. Elves, in their nature, were unfamiliar with the finite ways of time. Even Halsin, ever dutiful to the Oakfather, had yet to experience the hardships that became well-earned wisdom. How could they, after all, when all they knew then was love, life, and eternal sunlight."
When the lands of Reithwin were joyful and green, a young druid found friendship with an elf from the city. They grew to love one another, but the world was ever bound to change. The land they once called home was lost to darkness, the elf died alone in the streets, and the druid fell, overwhelmed by his sorrow and Shar's wicked touch.
Centuries later, Astarion Ancunín went on a journey he never thought possible, with a tadpole in his head being the only salvation he got after years of serving a cruel master. In the shadow-cursed lands, he finds the hazy memories of his past unravelled.
And the shadow of a person he once hoped to forget.
