Summary
After the events of Act 2, Turmeric's got a lot of explaining to do. And explain she will, if she can get her stomach to settle down. And find the right words. And, actually, she's just realised she needs the bathroom real quick, she'll be right back-
This follows immediately on from the previous work in the series (More Graves to Dig), so is it recommend to read that for relevant context, unless you just want to read a contextless Tav backstory I guess.

Summary
His eyes soften, nearly glistening, and his grip lessens, almost with an intimate tenderness as he places his other hand over yours. “My god…” he sighs. “It’s you…I thought you…” And he tries to pull you into his embrace.
You begin to feel weak, but you dig in your heels, stopping his attempt. “Let me go,” you moan, the words hardly coming out of your mouth.
He seems to be wrestling with his own thoughts, his muddied brow furrowing in confusion. “Kit, it’s me…!” And he quickly lowers his voice, as though he is to tell you something secret. “Arthur…your–”
You shake your head fervently. “I don’t know you…!” And with the pain in your head increasing, you try to get out of his grip. “Let me go!”

Summary
“You,” He had hissed that single word, vehemently and yet it was tinged with something else.
Her eyes locked with brown hues that flickered crimson in odd catches of the light—her lungs burned as she breathed, heart heavy as it sank. He had always been polite to her, fair… she could tell from the start there was always a flicker in his eyes, a disturbing similarity to admiration bordering on a morbid softness. With the way he looked at her now, a part of her mused that his interest in her was not only due to the wretched tadpole. No, he seemed disappointed that she would betray him.
Being caught by the Master of the House, she was utterly doomed—down goes the mouse by the cat’s claws.

Summary
“I must thank you for your company. I fear you have been the highlight of my night.” Astarion gives your hand an affectionate squeeze before he’s dropped it and disappeared into the night.
You stand there for a moment, dazed and coming back to your senses. Your skin is still flushed and hot as you imagine again what Astarion’s lips might have felt like against the back of your hand. Or perhaps pressed against your own? You think of Astarion and his sweet words and beautiful face. Perhaps it was possible to marry for love, after all. Perhaps Astarion would be your saving grace. For who couldn't resist ending the night in love with that man?
------
Or, you think the handsome stranger you dance with at a ball is the solution to all your problems. That is, until you discover him drinking another woman's blood in the gardens. He forces you to marry him to ensure you keep his secret and you're determined to hate him forever.

Summary
Once, many years ago, the orphaned Aloisia was a petty criminal and thief. Unknown to her at the time, she narrowly escaped a chance encounter with her life in Baldur's Gate.
Years later, a turn of circumstances leads her back to Baldur's Gate, where the new lord Astarion Ancunin is the talk of the city. Suddenly thrust into the life and arms of her newly discovered upper-crust family, she very quickly learns the reason why they've been so willing to accept their bastard niece, a stranger to them. It certainly isn't because of their good will...
Is it an arranged marriage... or a sacrifice?

Summary
He doesn't know what love is. All he knows is hunger.
He'd learned to live with it. The hunger had been his most faithful companion over the years, and he had long since given up the ghost of self-denial. He knew what he was. At least, he'd known before he'd woken up on that ravaged beach, blinking in the too-bright sun and you'd come stumbling down the dirt-worn path, covered in blood of questionable origin.
You play the part of the amnesiac hero with charm. None of your other companions seemed to detect there was something deeply, deeply monstrous within you. But he smells the blood your short fingernails draw from digging into your palms when you choke out pleasantries and diplomacy. He recognizes the glint of bloodlust in your eyes.
He watches you and he can just tell.
You know hunger, too.

Too Much Sun Spoils the Blood by hunmie

Summary
“You’re not a monster, Astarion. Everyone needs to eat.”
“You’re adorable. Do you lie to everyone else in the group as easy as you lie to me? I didn't think you had it in you.” Astarion grins to flash his fangs, stumbling to the side and feeling the bear's blood and wine force his words to slur.
“Should I take it as a compliment? That I’m the only one capable of ruining your blind trust? Or is it just because I’m an undead beast that your god wants you to kill?”
---
Morena is a somewhat slow but sunny and well-intentioned monk, trying to worship a god who never answers her, but always watches coldly from above. Now, being pulled away from her life dedicated to the sun amidst all the chaos of the tadpole, she feels heretical. She is jealous of the man with such clear cut instructions and purpose by his god, desperate to learn how to process loss from the Sharran cleric, and tempted by the vampire spawn, an undead affront to her god, who takes it as a personal slight that she could worship anything besides him.
Blind enthusiasm can only get her so far, especially when pushed to her breaking point. What has to happen before she finally learns to say No?
(First smut is on ch. 6)
