Summary
Alicia could not save Gustave from her father's ambush, but she managed to keep him from dying. Having learned the truth about their world and the Paintress, he wants nothing more than to catch up to the rest of his expedition and warn them before they can inadvertently wipe out their own people, and the fact that he has just suffered a couple of technically-fatal injuies is not going to stop him.
On their journey to the monolith, Alicia and Gustave are joined by two unexpected and unlikely companions, but even Alicia cannot tell what exaclty her brother is planning, and between the injuries slowing them down and the lack of Esquie for transport, they may simply not make it before everything is lost.Bookmarked by Fallingfire

Summary
Humans can go weeks without food. As long as they have access to water, some can even last months without biting into a hamburger or tasting the sweetness of strawberry jam on a biscuit hot out of the oven. There are drawbacks, of course, to skipping meals. Dizziness, fainting, weight loss too quick for the body to adapt to.
It’s Astarion's first table of the day. The dull, slow thump of his heartbeat rushes past his ears. His knees buckle with every step. He’s falling apart, he knows this, but with ten cents in the bank and another few days to wait until his paycheck comes in, all Astarion can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other and hope he doesn’t collapse. There’s no time to think about the metaphorical hand tightening around his stomach and throat.

Summary
There was a problem with Astarion.
Well, in all likelihood, there were quite a few problems with Astarion.
He was abrasive and flippant and self-serving, and Gale was in no doubt that his quick fingers were skimming at least a little out of whatever chests Tav had him picking.
Oh, and there was the fact that he was a vampire. Yes, there was that little detail.
Or, Astarion getting outed by the shadow-cursed lands.

Summary
After accepting Gale's offer to teach him magic, Astarion learns a thing or two about himself he'd long forgotten. Now he just needs to decide what to do with this information.
Now Gale’s smile did fall, a firm, confused frown taking its place. “You didn’t feel that?”
“Feel what, darling?”
“That . . . crackle, in the weave when you casted? You truly didn’t sense the way it clung to you?”
Astarion rolled his eyes, waving the wizard off.
“Astarion . . . do you not know you’re a sorcerer?” Gale asked, his frown deepening.Series

Summary
A remix of Act 2 in which Gale gets more of a character arc resolution.
“Gods damn it Gale!”
Astarion leaps over him. The guard, poised to land an entirely excessive final blow to Gale’s skull, topples backwards with a knife in his gut. The second pierces his neck, sending him crashing to the ground. Astarion yanks his blades back, and drops to his knees beside Gale.
“Oh no no no, you are not dying on me now.”
Gale attempts to express something, but it comes out as a gurgle of bloody bubbles. The world swings to the side, black and spinning.
“I swear, if it turns out I did just watch you spend the last of your magic sending your cat back to safety instead of saving your own damn skin-”
The threat remains unfinished. A healing potion trickles between Gale’s lips.
“Tressym,” Gale says, when he can finally trust his voice.
Astarion is still crouched over him, cheeks flushed, sweat running down his brow and someone else’s blood smeared across his cheek. Gale has the sudden urge to kiss him.
“What?”
“She’s a tressym. Not a cat.”
Astarion makes a noise of such furious, pained exasperation that Gale half expects the dagger to end up in his neck next.Series

i love a good place to hide (in plain sight) by FlowerCitti
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

Tags
Summary
“What?” Astarion seems nearly speechless, his silver tongue gone heavy in his mouth as he blinks, coming damn close to outright stuttering, “I—I mean, surely you—I’ve seen how you look at me!” He huffs, looking frustrated and confused and completely thrown off.
It’s almost endearing, to see him grow so flustered, his suave persona melting through his shock. You can’t help but smile, “I’m just not really interested in sex. That’s all.” You shrug, and Astarion looks at you as if that tadpole in your head has finally started to transform you.
(Or, you don’t want sex. Astarion doesn’t know what to make of that.)

Jayce had brought the couch into the lab, a few months into them working together. At first, it was just to offer the two a more comfortable place to sit while working on Hextech, but soon it became something a little more.

The Art of Drunkenly Balanced Equations (and the results thereof) by KydrogenDragon for starsniper
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)
14 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
Viktor doesn't like galas, but he likes the way Jayce smiles when he agrees to go. He also likes the way he flushes when he sees Viktor in his house colors.
Viktor also likes the way Mel listens to them, how she holds her own and uses her voice to fight for their dream.
Jayce and Mel are perfect for each other. And, perhaps, he has a few too many drinks about it. And maybe, just maybe, makes some rash decisions because of it.Bookmarked by Fallingfire

Summary
The idea comes so suddenly and such a perfect solution all at once that Jayce feels like an idiot for not suggesting it the moment he heard Viktor was on a visa. Something must show on his face, because Viktor’s expression morphs from frustration and defeat to confusion before settling on exasperation.
“Absolutely not.”
“Why not?” Jayce asks, taking a large swallow of his coffee and bouncing back on his heels.
Viktor puts a hand up to his face, covering it for a moment. The tips of his ears are red. “I believe that would be, how do you say it, marriage fraud.”
“What other option is there? You’re already my partner.”
“Partner in science, Jayce.”
“And now we can be partners in marriage!”

Summary
“Beauty and ferocity,” Skrimir said to Ike. His eyes were fixed on Soren, even as he knocked a fist against Ike’s shoulder. “You chose your strategist well.”
Soren froze. Titania smothered a laugh behind her hand. Tibarn’s eyebrows shot up.
Ranulf put his head in his hands.
Ike just looked at Soren, a hint of a smile playing on his face, so small no one else would have seen it.
“He’s the best,” he said.
--
Skrimir attempts to court Soren. Ike thinks it's funny until he doesn't.

Summary
“Mr. Talis, bored already?” Viktor asked, his tone dry but laced with the faintest trace of amusement.
Jayce grabbed a chair from the back with an ear-splitting scrape of metal on tile, the sound grating against Viktor’s nerves. Viktor visibly flinched, cringing at the noise. The class burst into laughter at the reaction, while Jayce offered a sheepish grin, clearly unapologetic. He flopped into the chair, sprawling in a lazy posture that made it seem like he belonged here.
“Had a free period,” Jayce said with a shrug, his voice light and breezy. He propped his head on his hand, his grin widening. “And I’m always fascinated by science.”--
