Summary
The Shadowcurse creeps into undead flesh like frost. Gale applies the most logical solution to save Astarion: full-body contact. For science. Obviously.
Gale can cuddle Astarion warm through their first night in the Shadow-Cursed Lands—but if he thinks he gets to save someone else while planning to sacrifice himself, Astarion has a few objections to make.
Canon compliance: Takes place in Act 2 just after arriving in the Shadow-cursed Lands and is mostly compliant except for the way the shadowcurse works (see notes)
Now with incredible fan art in Chapter 2 by the amazing Minui8!

Summary
So, he picks the little elf up and deposits him on the bench at his side. “Halsin!” Astarion complains, but Halsin ignores him and asks, “Astarion, what is this?”
“What do you mean what is this?” Astarion snaps, dusting invisible wrinkles from his clothing before he crosses his arms, chin sticking up in the air as he glares up at Halsin. “Perhaps you’re unfamiliar with the concept of sex. Shall I explain it in graphic detail?”
“My heart, I wish us to speak plainly,” Halsin says patiently. “You have not expressed to me that anything has changed for you."
“Gods, you’re dramatic sometimes!” Astarion complains. “I was just—I thought you might want…” Astarion tuts. “I was thinking maybe we could try.”
(or: they've got the camp to themselves, and Astarion means to make good use of that time. Halsin just wants to make sure Astarion is taken care of. There is a part 1 but you don't need to read it for context haha)

Summary
A reimagining of Halsin and Tav (a male Tiefling with Draconic bloodlines, for the purposes of the story). Basically I'm just a simp for the 'forced to share a bed' trope. Chapter 1 is the kiss, chapter 2 is the first night together (fluff and feelings abound), chapter 3 is just pure, unadulterated filth. Enjoy.

Summary
“It won’t make it any better. The hurt and the loneliness and the loss will always be there.”
“What do you know about loss? Nikandros is still alive.” Laurent spits out, the words like venom on his tongue. Damen flinches, and Laurent can feel in him the instinct to recoil away from the attack, every muscle growing taut against Laurent’s side. There. He’s said it. It’s out in the open now.
There is one issue, one foot on which Laurent and Damen do not stand equal. They’ve both been betrayed by the people that were supposed to protect them, Laurent killed Damen’s brother, Damen killed Laurent's, they have no family left except for each other. But Damen has one thing that Laurent does not. Damen has a friend. Damen has Nikandros.
Or, Laurent does not decompress, he simply explodes.

Summary
Astarion dissociates during sex with Halsin and loathes himself for it. His druid comes up with an idea to temporarily rid his mind of thoughts that try to pull him under.
----------------------------------------------------
His thoughts were drifting again, but Halsin caught him feathery light just before he could get too far away. Careful fingers held his chin so Astarion would need to look at him. There was no strength behind it, so the vampire could have pulled away, should he have decided to do so.
In fact, Astarion felt far from wanting to pull away - but his inner struggle and turmoil were ever present in his conflicted eyes.
“This time, when you feel it getting too much, don’t slip into that dark place. Just to test a little theory.” Before Astarion could reply, Halsin kissed him hot and deep and rough.

Summary
Astarion finds himself longing for Cicero’s touch all day while left alone at the Elfsong Tavern. When his lover returns home he finds Astarion lay across the bedsheets, wearing nothing but Cicero’s own shirt and an expression of pure, unrivalled desire and hunger.
It would take a strong-willed man to deny his own boyfriends charms with a gaze like that. And fortunately, Cicero was not a strong-willed man when it came to the vampire.

Crawling over Halsin while on top of his own grave was not exactly the destination Astarion had in mind at the start of their relationship, but he was a rather impulsive man when the whim caught him.
(Or, Astarion grows closer to Halsin while in Baldur’s Gate.)

Summary
"You want to hear me moan so prettily for you," Astarion whispered. He pulled Halsin closer, lips brushing against Halsin's cheek. He licked a slow stripe along the druid's ear, pulling a groan through Halsin’s clenched teeth."And I could, darling..." Astarion's voice lowered an octave. He arched into his lover's body. Cool breath brushed against Halsin's ear as Astarion's mouth fell open in a heady moan. The druid felt a shiver rush down his spine.

“Did you bring me here to make me sad, too? Because it’s working.”
“No, Astarion,” Gale sighs, finally tearing his gaze away from the aurora and meeting Astarion’s own eyes. “It’s because you’re the only person in camp who knows what it’s like to die.”
*
Having heard Mystra's orders, Gale comes to terms with his imminent death. He asks Astarion for one final favour, on his last night alive.
A kiss.

Summary
“Your scars are quite old,” Halsin remarks, and Astarion flinches so hard he nearly stabs himself with his own needle. Gods above, how does a man that large move that quietly? He blinks up at the druid, now looming above him. He smiles pleasantly, like he always does, and Astarion does not stare at the way the motion makes his tattoo ripple.
“Well spotted,” he manages.
--
Astarion does not understand what Halsin wants. Until he does.

Summary
“I want…” Astarion swallows, as if he were unsure of how to put it into words, “I want this to be—good, again. After everything,” he scoffs. Halsin pets at his back again, a soothing gesture that has Astarion’s eyes flickering, lips parting around a soft sigh.
“He’s gone,” he mutters, “It’s not—it’s not fair for him to ruin this for me.” Astarion’s face twists in anger for the barest moment before it smooths out again, eyes wide and bright and looking younger than he ever has before.
(Or, Cazador is dead. Astarion wants to reclaim another part of his freedom.)

”When was the last time you had something sweet?”
”Oh, just last night, darling,” Astarion smiles, eyes flickering to the fresh puncture marks on Halsin’s neck.
Halsin has a sweet tooth. Astarion indulges. Porn with feelings.
