    Summary

    There’s something living in the wood shed.

    With winter fast approaching it’s not surprising for animals to take shelter there. Last year he’d played host to a family of opossums nesting in the back corners.

    He isn’t sure what’s taken up residence this year, though. After noticing his new neighbor he left out food and water, both of which were untouched the next day. But whatever is in there is coming and going. Through the latched door, even. Which signals a level of intelligence beyond the usual woodland creature. A stray kobold? Or a goblin? He guesses and leaves food suitable for either. It remains untouched.

    That’s when his curiosity gets the better of him.

    Or, Local hermit druid finds a vampire in his shed and decides to adopt it as he would any other wounded animal. As one does.

    Summary

    I went to Baldur's Gate and all I got was a hyperfixation with this fucking vampire.

    BG3 fics, mostly centered around my durge. Characters who will be prominent include:

    Kelyn: drow, bard, Dark Urge. Desperately trying to fight his nature, mostly coping with music. Soft and sweet and gentle and loves murder almost as much as he loves Astarion.
    Alythara: drow, cleric, Tav. Kelyn's older sister, highly protective of him. (Kissing Shadowheart and Halsin, which may or may not come up.)
    Yurissa: tiefling, warlock, absolute baby. Kelyn's teenage adopted daughter who thought he was dead until he got back to BG in Act 3, and then forcibly inserted herself into the party.

    Summary

    Lolth-sworn Nym is on the run. Not the time to get kidnapped by talking squids. Unfortunately, now he has a tadpole in his head and a bunch of "allies" each less trustworthy than the next. But he will make do.

    Astarion watches Nym with amusement.
    “What,” Nym says.
    “Nothing, it’s only the first thing you’ve told me about yourself. If I'd known all I had to do was sleep with you…”
    Nym frowns. “Well, that’s not true. You know I’m from Menzoberranzan.”
    “Oh, pardon. Such crucial information indeed. You’re a sorcerer from Menzoberranzan and you like pretty colours. I feel like I’ve known you forever."

    This is comedic in tone but deals with fucked-up people and their badly conceiled emotional bagage. It's chilli-spiced chocolate. Diverges from in-game romance. Gets darker as you go.

    Summary

    Cazador is being extremely cagey about this new job he's picked up for his prized cash cow, Astarion. Astarion just wishes Cazador would explain what it's about, what they're doing here, and why the drow he's going to be working with has to be so damned handsome. And why the drow has to feel so familiar, so comforting, so right.

    In which Astarion gets a role he didn't expect and everything that unspools from that single little twist of fate changes his life for the better.
    Once he gets past the pain, anyway.
