Summary
He isn’t even sure if Astarion would want a cure. Astarion has the sun; he’s so rich with it that he’ll fritter away precious daylight hours slumbering in their bedroom with the curtains drawn. Blood isn’t a problem, since Tav gives it willingly—eagerly.
Plenty of other drawbacks to vampirism, of course, but Astarion rarely complains of them; because he’s endured them for so long, or because he truly doesn’t mind?
Astarion's been sleeping late recently, and Tav's starting to worry. Post-canon. Astarion x m!Tav.

Summary
But Henry doesn’t see the corporal at breakfast. Instead he sees him much sooner than that, when the cold kiss of a knife under his chin drags him from a bad dream into a worse one.
“Don’t scream,” Crow says. “We need to talk.”
Henry chases a spy in Sigismund's camp while desperately trying to maintain his own cover. The time he has left to solve a murder and escape with the Finger of God is running short. He's being watched, and he doesn't know who to trust. Betrayal looms.
It all circles back to the same question:
Who is Stephen Crow, and who does he work for?
Set during the canon KCD 2 storyline; spoilers for the Lion's Den quest.

Summary
“Take off your clothes, Henry.”
Henry startles. “You said…”
“I know what I said, and I heard what you said. You aren’t here to talk. So stuff a sausage in it, lad, and take off your clothes. Or get out. Your choice.”
Gules is having a bad night. Then Henry comes crawling to his door to lick his wounds after a row with his lord, and the two of them find a way to distract each other from their woes.
Set during the canon KCD 2 storyline. No spoilers for any specific quests.

Summary
"Shall we?”
“We? What d’you mean, we?”
“I mean exactly what I said, you pedantic peasant.” Capon smirks, pleased at his own wordplay, though the smile doesn’t touch the uncertainty in his eyes. “I’ve had more than enough of sitting on my arse. If Zizka’s sending you somewhere, I’m going with you.”
Hans Capon and his squire ride out side by side to track down Hynek the Dry Devil's old band. It'll be just like old times: wine, women, and song. Surely neither of them have changed since they set out from Rattay to deliver a message together. Surely their ironclad bond of friendship isn't starting to crack and give way to new, tender feelings neither of them have the words or inclination to describe.
It's simple brotherly affection that makes them so loathe to leave each other's side, even for a moment. Right?
Or: what if the middle act of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was a 2-player game?

Summary
There was only one Silver Skalitz in Bohemia, and it had already burned to the ground.
It stood to reason that there was only one Henry of Skalitz in the world, too.
No more painful feeling exists than realizing you're in love with a dead man. (Even if you still don't know this particular agony is called love.)
Or: while Hans Capon languishes at Maleshov Fortress, he denies the truth--that Henry was captured, tortured, and killed by Istvan Toth--to himself for as long as he can, until it becomes inescapable.
Set during the canon KCD 2 storyline; spoilers for the Taking French Leave quest.

Summary
A collection of one-shots set in the post-canon era of "a crooked touch", my completed Tavstarion BG3 series. Reading order is not important; I've added them to the series in the order that I posted them, which is not necessarily chronological.

Summary
Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz fall in love without knowing that it's love.
To quote "The Great Escape" by Woodkid, men are meant to be more than the shadows of each other.

a crooked touch (Astarion x m!Tav) by eyes_of_the_lamb
Fandom: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
16 Nov 2024
Summary
“Make it hurt, then. Kiss me like you want to kill me.”
“I can do that.”
Two broken stars in a decaying orbit, passing closer and closer together until the inevitable, devastating collision.
Or, Tav is fucked up and down bad for Astarion, who doesn't quite see the appeal (but he's getting there). Sexual frustration, sloppy handjobs, a heavy dose of masochism, and way too many failed Insight checks ahead. Tav falls first, Astarion falls harder (eventually).
Or, a tragic-but-hopeful romance told through a series of incredibly ill-advised sexual encounters.
If you want to read a story where Astarion is sweet from the start and Tav is here to fix him, this isn't the one. If you want to read about two terribly broken men spending a good long while making each other worse before they make each other better, this might be for you. If you thought the in-game romance was a little too easy and it should have been ten times more painful and difficult to convince Astarion he's worthy of love, this is definitely for you.
Set during the canonical events of Baldur's Gate 3.
