Summary
“Sleep.”
But Tav’s not falling asleep. He’s thinking now. Thinking about the way Astarion appeared in his dream—those lantern eyes, the sharp angles of him. It can’t be how Astarion would choose to appear.
Tav’s throat clenches. No, Astarion didn’t choose anything. He appeared in Tav’s dream exactly as he is, beneath the porcelain skin and the perfect hair and the tempting smirk. Exactly the way he must feel. Constantly.Tav’s brush with death left him marked, in more ways than one. Astarion tries to work out what’s different about him. Act 1 transitioning into Act 2. Astarion x m!Tav.

Summary
“Oh, don’t keep us in suspense.”
Astarion stops on the other side of the plinth and stares at Tav—or maybe at the mace, Tav can’t tell. But he sees familiar hunger in those red eyes: the same hunger he saw when Astarion asked him for that necromantic grimoire.
“Take it and see what happens. I’m dying to find out.”
That’s more than good enough for Tav.
A careless mistake in the githyanki creche has Tav staring certain death in the face. It comes as somewhat of a relief. Late Act 1. Astarion x m!Tav.

Summary
Tav can’t break free. He’s not strong enough. His mind is dulled, dim and insubstantial as shadow from all this time spent choking on the blood he’s spilled. Nere knew that somehow. He knew Tav was weaker than anyone else on the battlefield.
But Astarion can equal him. Astarion can save him.
Astarion can end him.
Tav gets dominated, and not in the way he likes. Late Act 1. Astarion x m!Tav.

Summary
“Why should I?” Astarion taps the side of his head, smiling dangerously. “I don’t need an invitation anymore. A gift, from one benevolent parasite to another.”
He isn’t looking at Tav with benevolence. No. The mask—or at least, one of the thousands Astarion wears at any given moment—is shed at last.
He looks famished.
For the first time in their entire acquaintance, Tav’s a little worried Astarion actually means to kill him.
Astarion is the favorite, the one with hooks deeper in Tav than all the rest, and he won’t stop until everyone knows it. For Tav, head over heels in unrequited love, this amounts to nothing less than the purest torture.
Late Act 1, set after the battle for the Emerald Grove. Astarion x m!Tav.

Summary
The hand removed itself from his forehead. “Temperature is normal,” Gale announced, before using its fingers to gather some stray drool that had trailed down Astarion’s jaw. Before Astarion could register the pitiful jolt of arousal at the sudden skin contact or the sheer absurdity of what Gale was doing, Gale had stuck its fingers in its mouth.
“What the —”
“No new bacteria detected,” Gale went on, “Ruling out food poisoning.”
“Oh, Gods,” Astarion groaned. “And to think that these things are what’s sending our workforce into a tizzy. What next, 'droid? Are you about to give me a rectal examination too?”
“There is no need for one at the moment,” Gale said, confused. “Unless you are seeking prostate stimulation—”
“No!”
Amidst the softly thrumming melancholy of a dystopian, cyber-punk city, former corporate-rat Astarion Ancunín, who has long since lost the will to live, finds himself in possession of a G-413 or "Gale" - an amnesiac android who, strangely enough, enjoys living.

Summary
Then Capon clambers into bed with him, extinguishing Henry’s last flicker of hope that this was a bad joke after all.
There’s a bit of a shuffle while Capon gets comfortable and Henry stews in the curious sensation of a warm body pressed back-to-back against his. He’s slept with girls before, and Mutt, and once, years ago, he even shared a hayloft with Matthew and Fritz… but this is different.
This is Capon. Sir Hans Capon of Pirkstein. Henry’s lord.
Henry and Hans share a bed at Trosky Castle. Twice. And a beast wakes in Henry, one he thought chained and abandoned to the dark long ago.
Disturbed, newly unsure of himself, and afraid he can't be the protector his lord needs, Henry seeks aid from an unexpected quarter: Lord von Bergow's silver-tongued swordmaster.
Set during the canon storyline; spoilers through Nebakov. Now with fanart!

Summary
/tolerance to a poison acquired by taking gradually increased doses of it/
The wizard's blood is toxic. Remarkable how repetition turns horrors mundane.
Or, to expound: The wizard of Waterdeep reeks of poison and weed, and Astarion can’t help himself on either count. Luckily, Gale considers any and all forms of experimentation, no matter how virulent, to be fruitful. Things escalate in every possible direction over a series of well-wasted camp nights.
