    Summary

    Echo has lived her life tucked away in the forests of Tethir, learning magic through the pulse of nature and the songs of creation. She's good with magic, but not people, which isn't really a problem until she's scooped up by mind flayers and has to get along with six strangers lest they all share a tentacle-y doom. And she manages to get along with most of them -- but then there's Gale of Waterdeep. Despite a terrible first impression, she finds he is actually much kinder than all the mansplaining would suggest.

    This is a series of relationship scenes about my weird little mushroom hermit, a wizard who shows compassion and arrogance really can coexist, and how academic rivalry is like first base for wizards.

    Spoilers for the entire main plot and Gale's romance

    Summary

    “Did you say you free slaves?”

    Does she know? Is that why she’s told him all this? Has she been trying to treat him this entire time?

    …Worse, did Astarion know this about her?

    He’s been drawn to her from the very moment he laid eyes on her. Relies on the girl, even now. It’s telling of something instinctual in him, like it’s been branded into his very biology. Still subservient, deep down, crawling pathetically to the first whiff of a pitying savior. Begging for a scrap of hope, of reprieve, of fucking redemption.

    Is that all he is? A slave, at his core?

    No, he thinks with a conviction that feels too much like denial. No, because she will be the one to change. Not him.

    Summary

    ***Sequel Posting Now - Darkest Depths: A Redemption Story***

    Based on the story of Astarion, as played in current "Early Release: Baldur's Gate 3."

    Part 1 is a series of relevant, connected interactions from the canon game (Astarion and diverse F/PC perspectives).
    Part 2 moves from Faerun to the real world.
    Part 3 concludes in Faerun, non-canon storyline.

    The traumatized recognize each other - a romance is born from their mutual ashes. A story of self-realization, autonomy, and light BDSM, vampire-style, because Faerun lacks good therapists.

    In three parts.

    Summary

    Panic seizes him through the lethargic fog clouding his thoughts. He reaches down to where his dirtied shirtsleeve is cuffed neatly at the wrist and uncuffs it, rolling it back to reveal the very much still present tattoo coiling around his wrist and lower forearm. The seal, it appears, is intact, so why…?

    With a flash of nauseating clarity he slowly looks up to Astarion, still standing ten feet away but looking more intrigued by the second. Astarion who, in spite of being a very real vampire, is standing fully exposed in the early morning sunlight. His white hair glints in it, his red eyes stand out even harsher against his pale skin, skin which is… Unmarred, untainted by the sun.
