  3. Summary

    A Dark Urge/Astarion series featuring Tav, a ranger Durge who is interested in mitigating the risk of the Urge taking him over any way he can, even if some of those methods are not necessarily safe or sane. At current time of writing, he and Astarion are stumbling into a friends-with-benefits situation where one of the benefits is that it's harder to murder people in your sleep when you're experiencing mild-to-moderate blood loss.

    Tone-wise, expect slice of life/slow-burn pacing and camp shenanigans, with plenty of The Power of Friendship to go around and a sprinkling of self-destructive behavior and some terrible coping strategies for spice. I put more specific content notes in the chapters that need extra explanation.

    The first 2 stories are rated M for violence and discussion of past abuse. Later stories will mostly be rated E for explicit sexual content. Tav is transmasc, but that's less of a plot point and more of an anatomy situation and an excuse for me to play around with themes of identity, choice, and the horror of being in a body that doesn't always listen to you.

    Each work can be read as a standalone piece without needing to read prior stories, but they do all fit together as one story.

    In which, as per canon, Astarion has undergone two centuries of starvation. Unlike canon, this greatly impacts his ability to do anything at all.

    Summary

    "Do you have any idea what this is?" he'd asked, peering into the strange pit in the basement of the tower. It was about as wide and deep as the pool from a modestly-sized bathhouse, though that wasn't what had caught Wyll's eye about it.

    "Ah yes," Gale said, with a twinkle in his eye that Wyll, at the time, mistook for academic curiosity. "The illecebrae flagellum. I think that's the Purple Majesty breed. Quite popular in the southern countries—designed in Athkatla, you know. I'm surprised to see it here! Normally in the Underdark you get more bioluminescent breeds like the Starstrand—"

    "Right," Wyll said, politely. "Is it valuable? Dangerous?"

    "Dangerous? No, not at all." Gale wiggled a finger over the lip of the pit. Wyll startled as one of the thin waving vines coiled around it. "The value is, ah. Subjective."

    Wyll was saved from having to ask more questions by Astarion—appearing from nowhere, as was his wont—to put it in plain terms.

    "It's a sex plant," Astarion said flatly.

    Wyll and Astarion make a startling discovery in the basement of a dead wizard's tower.

    Summary

    Soulmates are little more than parasites. The only thing they share is pain through their bond. By all reason and common sense, Astarion should want his soulmate to die to spare himself that extra chunk of suffering, especially as Cazador grows only more possessive over Astarion having a bond with anyone else at all.

    All Astarion can think though is this is one thing Cazador hasn't been able to take from him.

    Summary

    There was a dead man on the midden heap; if not dead yet, soon.

    It wasn’t hard to guess how he’d ended up there - the man looked the part of a devil. Such was the fate of monsters in the hands of civilization.
