    Summary

    Miss Fortune was broke and broken-hearted when they were infected with a mind flayer tadpole and thrust into a wild adventure with a group of misfit strangers. One of these strangers, Astarion the pale elf, wedged his way into their thoughts like a dagger through the ribs. While they didn’t trust him at first, they quickly discovered they had an eerie number of life experiences in common. Developing a bond forged by shared traumas, the rogues find companionship, renewed purpose, and eventually love in each other and transform from messes to menaces to society. Together, Astarion and Miss Fortune grapple with their emotional scars and complicated feelings around sex and intimacy in this sweet and sentimental tale.

    HUMAN AU
    Aziraphale hires a sex worker named A. J. Crowley — but not for the reasons you might think.


    Welcome to the definition of "crack treated seriously!" Also known as my hyperfixation for the last fifteen months. The overall tone of this fic will be light-hearted and fluffy, but there will be some more serious stories/themes in the later chapters. But I promise — if you're here for fluff (and a little bit of sexiness), you will not be disappointed (at least, I hope)!

    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.

    Summary

    After leaving Szarr Entertainment in the wake of a tumultuous - deliberately engineered - scandal, Astarion Ancunín has rebuilt his acting career, from the blacklisted ground up. Through a heavily doctored narrative of queer reclamation, he's finally making a name for himself, and hoping to claim prestige (and maybe a few awards) through the leading role in a historical biopic about the openly gay elven oracle, Aerthwyn Capaxath.

    The only problem is, Aerthwyn Capaxath is the worst person that ever lived (or died). Just ask Dr. Rosalie Frostsong, a thoroughly unwilling expert on the subject.

    (A celebrity/academic, reluctant workplace allies turned friends-to-lovers, modern AU... a.k.a. the silliest thing i've ever written. I hope people enjoy!)
