Summary
It’s a little miraculous, Tav thinks, that those wrinkles could survive undeath and two centuries without much occasion for genuine laughter. But Astarion is nothing so much as he is a collection of small miracles.
The wine makes it harder to deny and, mercifully, easier to face: Tav’s in love. Giddy, stupid love. The kind Astarion could crush in one fist without batting an eyelash.
Which is exactly what he’ll do if he ever finds out.
Tav’s never been good at keeping promises, but for Astarion, he wants to be a better man. One of them should try, at least. Late Act 1, set before, during, and just after the battle for the Emerald Grove. Astarion x m!Tav.

Summary
One particularly cold night at camp, now in the lower city instead of knocking around in the woods, Knox ushers Astarion to come closer as he, Karlach, and Wyll huddle over the campfire and giggle like schoolchildren. Astarion watches them from a short distance, clearly not a part of the meandering conversation, waiting patiently for the others to sleep so he can try to sate his endless hunger. If Cazador could see him now, he’d be punished for being antisocial.
“More space by fire, Astarion.” Knox says, “Join us?”
Astarion tries to articulate exactly what he wants. And he wants to watch.

Summary
“Really, darling, I’m just fine—” His eyes squeeze shut over a sudden wave of nausea, his gut roiling dangerously, bracing himself against the counter. He carefully counts the measure of his breathing, even if it is unneeded.
“Astarion?” Wyll says with concern, his hand immediately resting gently between his quivering shoulders, “What’s wrong?”
He shakes his head, blinking past the dots that dance across his vision, “Nothing. Just—just might have had a bit too much to drink, I think.” He rubs over his nose bridge, trying to ease away the pulsing ache in his head.
(Or, Astarion is drugged in a tavern.)

Summary
READ NOTES FOR WARNINGS; stay safe!
Astarion is used to torture. The past few years have made sure of that. He’s used to the ripping off of fingernails, the carving of his pale skin, the lashing, the stabbing, the slicing, the agony of it all. He’s used to claws digging into his lungs and tearing out his prettiest screams.
But this? This was the first time anything of this sort had happened.
It was the first time Astarion’s ruthless desire to survive slipped away, and in that moment, he wanted nothing more than to cower in the sweet clutches of death.

Summary
Crawling over Halsin while on top of his own grave was not exactly the destination Astarion had in mind at the start of their relationship, but he was a rather impulsive man when the whim caught him.
(Or, Astarion grows closer to Halsin while in Baldur’s Gate.)

Summary
“I want…” Astarion swallows, as if he were unsure of how to put it into words, “I want this to be—good, again. After everything,” he scoffs. Halsin pets at his back again, a soothing gesture that has Astarion’s eyes flickering, lips parting around a soft sigh.
“He’s gone,” he mutters, “It’s not—it’s not fair for him to ruin this for me.” Astarion’s face twists in anger for the barest moment before it smooths out again, eyes wide and bright and looking younger than he ever has before.
(Or, Cazador is dead. Astarion wants to reclaim another part of his freedom.)

Summary
Karlach smiles at him as the sun begins to set, her eyes softening around the corners, a nervous look flickering over her features. And Astarion is already expecting what comes next, but it still feels like shards of ice blooming behind his ribs.
“Do you think I can sleep in your tent tonight? Now that I can’t hurt you or set the damn thing on fire.” She asks with a breathy chuckle, an uncharacteristic anxiety making her shift on her feet, her bottom lip caught under her teeth. He has no disillusions on what her words could mean. She’s not likely looking to do much sleeping when she is free to touch him now.
(Or, Karlach can freely touch the people she loves now. Astarion makes a few wrong assumptions.)

Summary
Logan was hornier than Wade expected, for all that he tried to play it off -- he would tug Wade close on the couch, slide his hand down Wade's stomach in bed, grab Wade's waist in the kitchen, and then roll his eyes like Wade was the one putting the moves on him.

Give Your Inner Child a Hug from Me by Quakey (Quak3y)

Summary
Wade was expecting this to be a typical X-Force mission. He had not been expecting the villain-of-the-week to have a mental de-aging ray of some kind.
Suddenly Logan's cowering in a corner, recoiling from the sight of his own claws covered in blood. “Logan!” Wade yells, sprinting toward the man. Logan is clumsily ripping off his gloves, accidentally shredding them on the claws in the process. As Wade skids up next to him, he’s hyperventilating badly enough that it looks like he might be having a panic attack.
“Victor, where’s Victor?” he gasps, voice sounding different somehow. Higher pitched. Younger. Then, higher yet, eyes jerking to his hands, “I think I killed someone.”

Summary
“What—what do you see, when you look at me?”
Astarion’s lips twitch into an instinctive smile, both curious and confused. “You needn’t use me as a mirror, love, surely you can see that handsome face of yours all on your own.”
Yanis’s mouth parts for a moment, suddenly feeling ridiculous for having even asked, but Astarion swiftly continues before he can get a word out.
“But really, darling, if you wanted me to return the favor, you only needed to ask. I’m always happy to oblige.”
(Or, Astarion is surprisingly good at giving comfort.)

Summary
His shoulders slump as he releases a heavy sigh. He’s been worn down by your patience, worn down by years of keeping everything to himself.

So why is he trying so desperately to push you away?
Astarion and Tav share a quiet, peaceful moment together along their journey. Astarion learns that he is valued and loved.

Summary
You were the first to tell him you loved him. The first to hold him close, cheek pressed upon his heart as you lay together. First to massage the scars lining his back, fingertips drawing constellations upon the skin marred by fleshy pink script.
You were his first for many things.
And it seems you have found just one more thing to mark down on that extensive list.
“What are you doing?” he asked, slender brows furrowing as his gaze met yours.
He looked almost uncertain. You even swore you could catch a twinge of fear lacing the look.
“Holding your hand,” you say.
or, astarion learns there's more to love than sex
or, or, have you ever wanted to hold hands with your favourite wet cat? well now you can

Summary
You were a sight to behold, even like this, half-mad from the arousal forced upon you by the spores and struggling valiantly against your body’s rising need. Astarion aches to soothe you, to cool the fire burning through your blood, but the thought of touching you, holding you, only to sink into himself and float mindlessly away, turns his blood to ice.

Summary
You return to camp after slaughtering an entire goblin camp, bruised and beaten, and Astarion senses you could use a distraction and you agree...just not in the way he was expecting.

Some delicious comfort for good aligned Tav, who feels like a monster, and Astarion, who feels like less than a person. They each provide more of a comfort to each other than they know. This fic is gender neutral and the only real mention of Tav's appearance is that they're smaller than Astarion, but that's all.Bookmarked by Helpfullhariett
