Summary
Dion warned things will get worse before they get better. But if it was his wish for this girl to know peace, then that will become Terence’s dream as well.
—
Terence is left to live. But how does one do that after everything has fallen apart?
—
If ANY FFXVI ship being mentioned in passing is not what you are looking for in a fic, this may not be an appropriate choice for you. The only active ship that includes sex scenes in the fic is Dion/Terence, but multiple other relationships and sexual encounters, both past and current, are mentioned and may play a role in plot development and interpersonal interactions between characters.

Summary
Five-and-three-quarters-year old Terence would love nothing more than to investigate the shaded woods just outside his family’s estate this morning. In fact, he has a standing appointment for such an event with his uncle and eldest sister. However, all of that came apart quite swiftly earlier in the week when it was announced throughout the Empire that today would be the introduction of the Prince-Dominant.

Summary
Like instinct, Astarion finds the vein in Filraen’s wrist that connects his fingers all the way to his heart. The moment his fangs sink into the Drow’s skin, blood pools into his mouth, and Astarion feels like a man drinking water for the first time in weeks.
He sucks and pulls, lapping at every drop with his tongue to make sure none goes to waste. Filraen’s blood tastes syrupy sweet tonight from the mead, thick and warm as it works its way down his throat. It’s addicting in more ways than one—the taste is divine, but something more primal pools in the lower parts of Astarion’s stomach. The kind that makes him want to bare his fangs at anyone who dares get too close to his Drow, that might try and take this away from him.
There’s a careful hand touching the base of his skull, pulling Astarion from his degenerating thoughts at the perfect moment. The long fingers slip up the back of his scalp and thread into his wavy hair like a soft caress. It’s comforting, has Astarion sighing wistfully into Filraen’s wrist.
---Or, come read about a sad bard and a sadder vampire falling in love.

Summary
"I meant what I said before, I’m not sure how to be with someone without feeling…disgusted. Not with you,” he’s quick to clarify, his tongue running faster than his overtired thoughts can catch up. “With myself. With everything he made me. With everything I am.” And gods, for someone who prides himself so much in his own eloquence, he is positively butchering this. “What I mean is - please touch me.”
A bit of a continuation after Cazador's death in which Astarion tries to "let it all sink in," ft. nightmares, touching, and gratuitous embroidery metaphors.

Summary
Astarion's eyes flick to Tav. For the first time this evening, his gaze rests. Tav's face shows nothing, carefully composed, unreadable even to Astarion's cunning.
It makes his gaze linger, makes him realise that Tav radiates that aura. The one Astarion has seen many times over the years, in Cazador as well as in his master's enemies and allies.
This power. It's delicious.
Astarion sees a way out of two centuries of servitude and abuse under his master Cazador Szarr in Tav, a fellow victim of the mind flayers' abduction.
His next steps are instinctive. Manipulation is what he knows, what he's good at, what his master kept him around for.
His plan works—until Astarion realises that Tav might be more than what he bargained for.
So much more.

Summary
"I thought I could do good," Louis whispered, ashamed to the core of how completely futile it all sounded now. "I thought I could be good." Lestat's eyes blazed silver and gold in the candlelight, and Louis held them, wracked with such anguish that he felt he'd crumble if Lestat looked away now. "Haven't you ever wanted that, Lestat?"
1794. Pointe du Lac lies in ashes. Lestat, desperate to keep Louis with him at any cost, tries something he's never tried before: he talks.

Summary
Two nights in 1993. Louis watches a documentary on the AIDS crisis. Lestat reflects upon his life with Nicolas in Paris, and the blight of damnation.
“My point is...” he swallowed, and he got a strange, faraway look in his eyes. He took one of my hands and held it, brushing his thumb over the blue veins on the back of my hand. He sighed. “I understand. To some degree, though perhaps not perfectly, what it had been like for you as a mortal man. When you were living in Paris.“And I understand,” he whispered, looking pointedly into my eyes. “…some measure of what you lost.”

Summary
Louis has been completely ignoring Lestat for an entire week after a nasty fight. On this seventh day of being deprived of attention, Lestat gets desperate. Where is Claudia in all this, you ask? Let's just say she knows how to make an exit.
Chapters 1-2 are rated M for language and sexual references, whereas Chapter 3 is a shameless sex scene that is very much rated E for E-rotic and E-xtremely Gratuitous in true Ricean fashion. Proceed with caution, or, alternately, enthusiasm.

“So what do you do for money, then, Su-gu-ru? Do you offer mass murder bonuses? Catering services? Do you sell your nudes?”
“Hardly that.” Suguru scoffs. He rolls his eyes. “My nudes are not something people can afford to buy. ”
“Hmmm, I could afford them.” Satoru shoots back with a grin. “I'm rich enough to buy your nudes.”
Suguru levels him with a look, and there’s about half a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.
“Do you wanna buy my nudes, Satoru?”
***
A story in which Satoru ends up funding Suguru's Cult activities by buying his overprices nudes and personalized nsfw otome CDs.
It's also a character study in whether or not someone can be a genocidal mass-murder and a tsundere at the same time.
