    Summary

    Three commands has Astarion broken, and now the fourth with a rapier through his gut and crossbow to his skull. Centuries he's wanted to be free—well, here it is. Dirt under his nails and blood behind his fangs. He's free. Isn't he fucking satisfied?

    Astarion has not been a person in two hundred years. His journey to become one does not start off well.

    Summary

    Duani loved children. It was one of the reasons she was so highly recommended by all of her previous clients. She was not using her job as a nursemaid and governess to gain favor or reputation. She was doing it because she loved it and she loved the children that she got to raise.

    Essek and Verin Thelyss were no exception.

    Summary

    At long last, after a grueling year in Avernus, Karlach, Wyll, and Astarion have found a way to remove Karlach's engine for good. Returning to Baldur's Gate (and a small cheap flat in the Lower City) Karlach recovers under the careful attentions of her lover, Wyll. There's only one problem: they've let Astarion stay with them. And though Astarion knows that this living arrangement must be temporary and the happy couple will get tired of his company soon enough, he finds himself growing attached to the little life they've made.

    It doesn't help that he's madly in love with both of them. Or that they're all sharing a bed.

    Summary

    Inspired by Essek's Mother/Backstory and a Tumblr post I couldn't stop thinking about.

    It had been a rare good day today.
    Or at least… the auburn-haired man had woken up with recognition in his eyes, and had managed to at least dress himself and make them both breakfast without burning the cottage down.
    It had been a good day, right up until Caleb had had an episode, and managed to pour hot water all over his hand; whilst completely missing the teacups that Essek had laid out, and the frustration and anger, and the painful memories that the situation had stirred up had overtaken him in seconds.

    Summary

    Episode 124 rewrite.

    When the Mighty Nein told Essek what they had to do, they didn't imagine that it would be the mention of Trent Ikathon that would send him crumbling. Caleb knows what it is like to fall apart, so it is him that stays with a cup of hot cocoa and sea of unsaid things between them.
