  1. Summary

    The Ace of Cups in the upright: new relationships, the font of creation, unmistakable love. in the reverse: denial of feelings, a disconnect from one's emotions.

    The King of Swords in the upright: clear insight, mental acuity, intellectual power, a decisive mediator. in the reverse: a tendency for manipulation, inability to express feelings, abuse of power.

    The Chariot in the upright: self-actualization, freedom, adaptability, forward momentum. in the reverse: recklessness, lack of focus, an unwillingness to take responsibility for one's own decisions.

    how to fake it til you make it in every respect, until maybe you stop faking it, until maybe you find a willingness to be something more.

    Or: stories involving Basquiat, my non-binary tiefling draconic sorcerer-bard, and Astarion, who is very much himself. primary focus on their relationship over the course of canon game events, but plot may occur. POV alternates between Astarion and Basquiat.

    Summary

    The fact that they are on the same side, on the same team and fighting for more or less the same cause doesn't change the fact that Hanzo Shimada and Cole Cassidy compete about everything.

    Summary

    Hanzo has lived without certain things for so long that he has all but forgotten about them. Cassidy is a bright red exclamation mark of a reminder, and Hanzo discovers that the saying "out of sight, out of mind" unfortunately also works in reverse.

    Meanwhile, Cassidy is an exceptional liar, and the most egregious of his lies are the ones he tells himself.

    Joke Summary: Astarion: "The only person allowed to be miserable about sex is me, Wyll, what are you even doing."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    some of the hands down best writing quality writing i have seen in the bg3 tag. an interpretation of astarion as demisexual that handles his post-traumatic healing with such grace and care throughout this series, where the author's grasp on what is going on inside his head and how he speaks is down so pat that in a blind test i would've thought it was lost in-game dialogue. diiana, our tav, is an absolute ray of seladrine sunshine, and it's so nice to find a tav with a clear voice. i started with "spend my days" and read the rest in about an hour. astral plane number of stars for this review.
