Summary
“Our devotion,” Gale says, voice upturned with a playful smile. “You seem reluctant to believe that Halsin and I will stay with you and help you, so let us prove it.”
Something wicked sparks in Halsin’s eye from his spot atop a couch, lounging wide. “What do you have in mind?”
“A game, of sorts.”
Astarion rolls his eyes, though their tone makes his blood run hot. “You’re waiting for me to ask.”
“Yes, well, I suppose I should know better at this point.” Gale pivots to look at him, eyes alive in a way that tells Astarion that whatever leaves his mouth will be overly earnest and embarrassing. “The game is this: we won’t do anything unless you tell us to.”
“What do you even—“
“But, we will do anything you tell us to.”
Halsin is smiling his feral little smile that makes you wonder why you ever thought he was innocent. “I think we understand your wants and needs fairly well, my heart, but I’d love to know what sort of depraved fantasies are deep in your head.”

Summary
He realized why Halsin had not asked for anything in return, after Astarion had been stricken with the mushroom’s toxin. Halsin did not see healing as transactional, nor anything else he did. Halsin merely tended to his companions, like wild plants in a garden. His grove had been the same, and he seemed bothered most that he could not treat Baldur’s Gate like the overgrown pit of weeds it truly was.
Astarion was an unruly vine in Halsin’s care, and he found he liked it that way.
or: after astarion is poisoned by a strange mushroom, halsin helps in an unconventional way. it has far reaching repercussions.

Summary
For once, his face relaxed, the sun’s caress smoothing out all the fussy furrows and creases of worry. Though his laugh lines remained as he smiled in his sleep. Must’ve been dreaming about something sweet.
Suddenly, those lithe limbs tensed, ruby eyes snapping open in alarm.
Halsin forced his head to turn, tearing his gaze away. "My apologies, I—"
He shouldn't have been staring.
"Well, I didn’t think a druid like yourself would be so shy about a little lack of clothing. Besides, you already got a good eyeful—I hope."Halsin sets out to soak in some sun. Astarion has the same idea, but naked.

Summary
Tav cannot stop thinking about their encounter with the Priest Abdirak, in the sanctuary of Loviatar. Something is telling them that pain might be a gateway to the understanding they are seeking, about their paladin Oath of Ancients, and about their purpose in the world. Something saved them from death, twice, in their previous life and they are seeking desperately for meaning. But can punishment at Abdirak's hands possibly offer a way?

a crooked touch (Astarion x m!Tav) by eyes_of_the_lamb
Fandom Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

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.
