Summary
Gustave let go of a heavy sigh and nodded his head. Back in the Stone Wave Cliffs, he had come to peace that this was where his journey ended—For those who come after, right?—but it seemed like his story wasn't done just yet. Maelle had, somehow, given him another lease on life, and this time, he could live it. He could grow old. He could do things simply for the sake of doing them; every waking moment didn't have to be dedicated to trying to solve the issue with the Paintress, with preserving their civilization.

Or: Maelle returns Lumière to its former glory, but... things just seem a bit off. Gustave investigates.- Language:

Summary
Gustave dies at Renoir's hand on the Stone Wave Cliffs. Then Gustave opens his eyes to the sound of a cane striking stone at the edge of the Continent. He dies again, he opens his eyes again. Again, again, and again, until he gets it right.
A slow-burn Verstave time loop from Gustave's perspective. The content warning is for time loop-typical death and violence.
Updates on Tuesdays.

The Soothsayer just wanted to help.

Summary
A sharp, incandescent surge of something between elation and panic slams into him, a realization thump-thump-thumping against the inside of Astarion’s chest with all the force of a charging owlbear.
His heart is beating.
(or, Gale casts a wish spell. There are some...unforeseen consequences).

Bookmarker's Notes
This is Disco Elysium 2 and no one can tell me otherwise. Brilliant expansion on character arcs, lore, and themes. Pitch-perfect emulation of the game's style for Harry's POV (and extras!), and shifts in POV and deviations in style from that baseline that feel completely natural. Writing about emotional vulnerability so deft, thoughtful, and tender that it left me breathless on many occasions. Truly glorious.

Summary
“You wrote yourself out of our world. Alan has proven it is possible to write your way out of this world too. So, hypothesis,” Darling said, arranging his fingers in a small rectangle as if he were a director getting the framing of a scene. He was stupidly perfect. Of course this man had been the missing ingredient for Alan. “We need to put ourselves into the next story,” he declared. “It’s the only way we get out.”
“We don’t have the Clicker,” he argued. It was a sticking point Tom had been wrestling for weeks or years. He couldn’t tell.
“Neither did you the first time!” Darling reminded him, grinning wide. He was so confident, so hopeful. “C’mon, think about it. You have so many more tools to add in now that I’m here. Variables in the experiment!”
Tom’s jaw worked. He nodded as he thought through the possibilities Darling meant. “Plot points and props,” he mused softly.
“We can choose the genre this time,” he panted in Tom’s ear. “Before we start. That could be…oh ho ho ho, that could be vital.”

Summary
“Maybe what you really need is a friend, not a lover.”
“I-- I would like that. I’ve held more people than I can count. An infinite parade of lovers. But a friend? I can’t think of a single one”
AKA Tav and Astarion join together to find a cure, to find themselves, and to find love. Post BG3, far fetched and far flung. Old friends, new enemies, and lots of emotion. Also a friendship between Gandrel and Astarion, which I think is very nice.

Summary
When Astarion awakens in the aftermath of the Nautiloid crash, it is not to a friendly face but the press of goblin steel against his cheek.
Now a captive of the Absolute, he is left starving and huddled in the corner, waiting for the beast that shares his cell to finally strike.
Bears, after all, are not known to be the most gracious killers.

Summary
“Why does your blood smell so strange?”
The question startled Gale, who looked up from where he sat cross-legged in front of his tent, organizing his scrolls in preparation for their upcoming “visit” to the goblin camp. He’d given Astarion a wide berth since the revelation of his vampiric condition a few days earlier, so he was surprised to see the pale elf looming over him now, a peculiar expression on his face.
“You know,” Gale offered with a smile, “in my extensive journeys across manifold realms, I do believe that is not a question that I’ve ever been asked before. I honestly can’t decide whether or not I should be offended.”
-
Of the many side effects Gale has faced as a result of his whole “being physical host to an imminently destructive magical orb” problem, he somehow never anticipated his blood now apparently smelling irresistible to vampires (or at least, one particular vampire) to be one of them.

Summary
Astarion had been entombed for years now.
...
The desire to leave this place was always strongest in these moments. It was single minded, heavy, it choked his throat and squeezed his chest, he felt full to bursting with this desire. He felt empty. No amount of begging, pleading, or screaming had helped before but still he managed to choke out a single word between useless hiccupping breaths.
"Please."
For the first time someone answered.

Summary
Gale was close enough to see Astarion’s nostrils flare as he took in a great, deep breath, chest heaving with the effort. His scarlet eyes gleamed in the moonlight, open so wide and staring with such rapt attention straight into his own. Through him. It made Gale feel small. And important, maybe.
Sometimes Gale has impossibly big feelings and the only way he knows to cope is with endless rumination and denial that basically amounts to sticking his fingers in his ears and shouting. Such a coping mechanism may prove inadequate for dealing with the walking, talking, plucked-from-his-guilty-conscience fantasy that is Astarion. And it doesn’t help that Astarion has a smile that makes his heart sing, along with being, probably, the first real friend he’s ever had. (Tressyms excluded, of course.)
