Summary
Blurg sighed. “I am old, Omeluum. And I worry. It cannot be helped.”
“I know this.” It leaned in and brought its forehead to Blurg’s. Blurg closed his eyes. “I also know I will be safe, so long as I am with you.”
“I don’t know how true that is,” Blurg said with a laugh, “but you won’t be alone. That I can promise you.”
or: omeluum's curiosity brings it and blurg to baldur's gate where, despite all the best intentions, everything still manages to go terribly wrong.

Summary
"Minsc," Astarion growled, his voice dripping with disdain, "Do you seriously mean to tell me that you came down to the Underdark with not a single health potion on you?"
Minsc smiled. "Why would Minsc need to bring a health potion when he is so strong, my friend?"
“Oh, I don’t know,” Astarion clenched his jaw and hissed a long, seething breath from between his teeth. "Perhaps," he glowered, "to help an ally with a broken leg!"

Summary
"I think I might have given you the wrong impression," Wyll said, smile sheepish, "I don't, ah, expect you to do anything in return. For me."
There was silence again for a long, awkward moment. For once Astarion was glad to be dead, at least there would be no visible sign of humiliation on his face. All his life he'd been told he was good for one thing only, but the past few tendays had made it abundantly clear that maybe he wasn't good for even that much. He should be relieved that Wyll didn't want to fuck him, but instead he felt only a vertiginous uncertainty.

Astarion doesn't know what Wyll could possibly see in him besides the obvious. Wyll shows him.Bookmarked by jaylien

Summary
Meditation is not sleep, and reverie is not quite dreaming. Fever can shunt humans into a horrible half-sleep. Elves, instead, get one foot caught in memory.
Memory can be unkind.

Summary
So here he is: a monster in the wilderness, a shadow crawling in the sun, trying desperately to be more than his nature. Than the terrified creature two centuries of torment shaped him into.
(Or Astarion reclaims his personhood, one fraught, determined step at a time. And with a little help along the way.)

Summary
'What would the former Archduke Gortash be doing planting duskwood saplings in a public park?,' the former Archduke Gortash said instead. He had, in fact, just spent the past four hours planting duskwood saplings in a public park. 'Don't be ridiculous. It is merely a passing resemblance, and one I am not too fond of, given the circumstances.'
'Huh,' the man said. 'I suppose that does make sense: you poor fucker! Besides, they wouldn't let a dangerous madman like that back on the streets.'
'Yes, you would think so, wouldn't you,' Gortash said, mostly to himself.

Summary
You are ULDER RAVENGARD.
Your son is completely besotted with his fiancé, but you can’t figure out the appeal. He’s spoiled, and petty, and seems chiefly concerned with draining the Ravengard coffers. You are, frankly, at your wits’ fucking end.
Surely the only solution is to declare an INSANE SECRET WAR on him before he can ruin the MIDWINTER'S EVE BALL. This cannot possibly backfire.
[A choose-your-own-adventure Astarion son-in-law simulator. Happy Holidays! Or possibly the opposite of that.]

Summary
After having been falsely accused of alleged crimes, Hollyleaf is cast out of Starclan by an angry faction and driven into the Place of No Stars. As she struggles against the danger lurking in the shadows, she also confronts her own inner demons. Back in Starclan, Sorreltail desperately searches for her missing daughter, Honeyfern, and deals with the consequences of Hollyleaf’s expulsion. Politics are challenged, tensions rise dangerously high, and age-old mysteries are uncovered.
Is Starclan really as safe as everyone thought?
Or does something dark linger within the starlight?

Summary
"Runningcloud wanted to take all that hurt and wrap it up in himself so she didn't have to carry it all. He would curl around it until the pain quelled into something less, like the moon changing from full to a single claw. But Yellowfang wouldn’t share that ache inside of her until she was on her deathbed, and it was not Runningcloud’s place to force her."
Or
Runningnose and the many deaths of Shadowclan.

"I dwell in a lonely house I know
That vanished many a summer ago,
And left no trace but the cellar walls,
And a cellar in which the daylight falls,
And the purple-stemmed wild raspberries grow."Firestar, the events surrounding the Reveal, and everything before and after.

Summary
Rusty's always heard the call of the forest, but today he feels it especially strongly. Braving his friend Smudge's warnings about the sins of ferals, he ventures in...and discovers the world of the warrior cats. The moment he gets a taste of Thunderclan, a society of cats who not just live but thrive in the forest, he wants nothing but to know more and more.
He's inducted into the clan and renamed Firepaw according to their traditions, and soon learns all he can and more about the world of the four clans in the forest. The new life he's chosen is neither peaceful nor forthright, though. War brews on two fronts and the secrets of the forest whisper to Firepaw louder than ever before. Ever the nosy one, Firepaw can't help but to answer that call.

Summary
The chosen Knight, Sonic, is annoying. This is an opinion that Shadow, a Knight who's been at the court for far longer than Sonic has, is going to cling to with tooth and nail. Unfortunately Sonic is odd, and he talks a lot - but it’s only blathering and joking and humming peasant songs - and he's not a noble, but he's witty and clever and far, far too charming...

Summary
Keith rolls his shoulders, feeling shy. “I think I loved you from the moment you climbed onto the roof, to be honest.”
Shiro bites his lip and it’s so disarming, Keith’s gut clenches. “All these years…” he says. “I never had a moment. I just saw you and knew I had to have you in my life.”
“You have me,” Keith assures him, and Shiro smiles. “However you want me.”
Or: the roof has always been Shiro and Keith's spot, so it makes sense they have their first time there.
