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)
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.

Summary
Halsin can’t stop thinking about Astarion’s teeth.
They’re long past Astarion trying to hide them from the party, not that he’d ever really been trying that hard. Most days they’re inconspicuous enough, but with every sneer and smirk and wicked grin, his fangs gleam in the sunlight in a way they were never supposed to. They flash behind the smile he pastes on to dazzle, and on the nights he begs for Halsin to fuck him till he can’t think anymore, the threat of them ghost along the flesh of Halsin’s shoulder, both wanton and deadly.
But they’re sharpest when he laughs.
Or-- a vampire doing what a vampire does.

Summary
“I don’t want to hurt you, my heart.”
“Yes, and maybe that’s the problem!” Astarion snaps suddenly, yanking his hands out from under his.
Halsin stares, startled by the outburst, and Astarion frowns, first at him and then at the tree over his shoulder. When he doesn’t elaborate, Halsin carefully breaches the silence instead.
“Do you want me to hurt you?”
AKA astarion doesn't know how to ask for what he wants, but halsin can make an educated guess

Summary
The darkness in the kennel is thick, suffocating. It reeks of rat piss and molding hay. Every instinct screams danger, though Halsin cannot yet make out what hunts him. His darkvision does not pierce the deepest corners, but he knows—oh, he knows—
There’s something hungry here.
After saving the world, Tav turns their attention to dismantling Cazador Szarr. But what they discover in the bowels of the Szarr palace is far more than a single corrupt noble.

Summary
When Astarion awakens in the aftermath of the Nautiloid crash, it is not to a friendly face but the press of goblin steel against his cheek.
Now a captive of the Absolute, he is left starving and huddled in the corner, waiting for the beast that shares his cell to finally strike.
Bears, after all, are not known to be the most gracious killers.

“I can smell that village witch’s charm in your hand,” Geralt says flatly. “It reeks of sage and woodsbane, and I told you to leave it alone.”
“How are we supposed to figure out what it is if you won’t even take it out of your saddlebags?” Jaskier protests. “It’s not like I’m doing anything with it, there’s no mysterious incantations to recite or enchanted seals to break. I’m just—”
“Playing with it,” Geralt interrupts.

Summary
When Jaskier looks over the witcher has his eyes shut tight, his whole body seeming pained. Jaskier realises he wants to soothe him, and the strength of feeling surprises him. He’s been too long without company.
“What happened?” the witcher says finally.
Jaskier blinks. “That’s quite a big question. I’m afraid you’ll need to be more specific.”
“With Nilfgaard,” the witcher clarifies, growling slightly. “It shouldn’t – it didn’t happen like this.”
In 1240, Jaskier the bard leaves Posada earlier than planned because of a devil in the mountains.
In 1263, three years after Nilfgaard conquers the north, Julian Pankratz, viscount of Lettenhove, hires a witcher and learns about the path his life should have taken.
This is not an AU.

She loved him. She loved him, and she was proud of him, but she was becoming impatient.
Shivers (otherwise known as La Revacholiere, or the spirit of Revachol) loves Harry. She knows that he will save her. But she wants him to be happy. It's obvious to her that Kim makes him happy, but as she watches them dance around each other, she figures they could use a little nudge in the right direction.

Summary
Geralt has been hit with a lust curse that will kill him if it's not satisfied. What kind of companion would Jaskier be if he didn't help him out? After all, the great White Wolf simply can't die from a cursed hard-on. What kind of story would that be?
(And if it gives Jaskier one taste of the impossible intimacy he's been dreaming of, well ... he'll keep that to himself.)

Summary
"It is done," Xenk says. He holds up his own right hand to demonstrate, displaying the golden light that is already sinking into his gauntlet and disappearing beneath. "We are bound, you and I, until the magic is dispelled."
"What the fuck," Edgin whispers. He scrabbles at his sleeve, yanking it up to examine the faintly-glowing runes that have encircled his wrist. "What the fuck? What do you mean, bound?"
Sent by the High Harpers to retrieve a criminal to aid in a desperate mission, and authorized to use binding magic to ensure his cooperation, Xenk comes to understand and long for the former Harper agent Edgin Darvis during the tenday they spend in Icewind Dale, surrounded on all sides by ice, and cold, and endless lonely nothingness.
