    Summary

    “What, exactly, do you intend to do with those children?” The clear voice cut through the crowd.

    Wearing half a mountain’s worth of dirt and a patchy beard, the stranger reminded Six Balls of the Undead Bearded Bandit from pa’s bedtime stories. His hair fell in tangles to his waist, and bare, blackened feet poked out under the dirt-crusted robes.

    He looked… He looked like a real hero who’d just rolled out of a fresh grave. The coolest, scariest kind of hero was the fresh-out-of-a-grave kind, in Six Balls’s opinion; that was when they were about to wreck the bloodiest vengeance on anything standing in their path.

    “Children?!” yelled one of the stupider humans, who clearly didn’t know the best way to talk to an undead hero. (Don’t, if you can help it.) “These demons slaughtered six good men!”

    Or: When Shen Qingqiu wakes up in his new plant body exactly one day later than he does in canon, it throws the plot in a whole new direction.

    Summary

    "Shizun," Binghe said in his most reasonable voice, like there was anything reasonable about a grown man begging to nurse from another grown man, "our baby is still months away, and your body needs relief now. You're doing so much for our child; can't I do this for you?"

    Summary

    Betrayal isn’t the only thing that changes a bleating little sheep to a hungry, darkened wolf. Demons are a different species entirely, with their own distinct nature, biology, and inborn impulses -- some of them unsavory and unkind, some of them wholly alien. They are not human.

    Consequently, Luo Binghe’s seal on his demon blood holds back more than just an uptick in power and a mark on his brow. It holds back a veritable flood of deep-set instinct.

    When Luo Binghe’s seal breaks in the months before the Immortal Alliance Conference, he discovers this flood is a tide which sweeps and consumes.

    Summary

    Lord Astarion Ancunín is the sole talk of the town of Baldur's Gate high society after almost single-handedly defeating the Netherbrain. Or at least he should be, but apparently there is another "Lord Ancunín" in the Gate and he is actually an infamous scammer. What is the Vampire Ascendant to do?

    Feliz loves playing the Grand Game, they are more than a little addicted to pulling off extravagant and outrageous heists, each one more dangerous than the next. No one has ever stolen from a vampire lord and lived to tell the tale. Feliz had been planning to rob one Cazador Szaar for several months until their plans were foiled by him being murdered by his former spawn who then took his place. Now Feliz has a new mark. Although they might have bitten off more than they can chew this time...

    OR yandere Ascendant Astarion becomes obsessed with the arcane master thief and artificer who robs him blind and ends up chasing them across Faerun, to the hells, and back.

    Summary

    The Netherbrain is defeated, and all of his companions have something to return to. With Bhaal’s blood purged from his veins and Jergal granting him a second chance at life, the Druid is now forced to grapple with an existential crisis, plagued by phantom memories and emotions he has long kept under lock and key.
    Unfortunately, Astarion is a master lock-picker and doesn’t leave well enough alone.

    OR
    A post-canon adventuring story focused on the relationship of two men who are forced to deal with their own traumas. Too bad the world doesn’t just pause once you defeat the BBEG.

    Summary

    It wasn’t gay for Shen Qingqiu to dream about being fucked by a man. Anyone—even the straightest of men, which Shen Qingqiu was—would have dreamt the same thing after seeing Binghe again after all those years of separation. It was only natural!

    Binghe was taller now, with wider shoulders and a chiseled jaw and a deeper voice that had gone straight to Shen Qingqiu’s gut when he’d heard it. Was it so surprising that all this new sensory knowledge would combine with Shen Qingqiu’s extensive knowledge of BL tropes—courtesy of his sister’s novel collection—and cause his subconscious mind to produce a naked, horny Binghe? And what was more natural for a naked, horny Binghe to do than to start having sex with whatever person was closest?

    In this case, the closest person had been Shen Qingqiu. Dreams were funny like that, sometimes.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe doesn’t allow Shen Qingqiu to eat anything other than what he has cooked himself. At first, it was charming. Shen Qingqiu loves Luo Binghe’s cooking! To be treated to only these delicacies from his newly wed husband was like every perfect marriage he’d ever imagined in his previous life, just a little gayer.
    But then three months passed with no hint of that honeymoon phase tapering off and it started to become a little odd, a little too excessive. Like a domestic waifu, Luo Binghe packed him food and snacks to eat, even if Shen Qingqiu was going to visit Cang Qiong. For lunch. He had to awkwardly tell the other Peak Lords that he didn’t need the meal they’d prepared and bear the stares as he ate his own food.
    Now, two years later, Shen Qingqiu has made peace with it. It is just one of the peculiarities his husband has and it isn’t that much of a bad one either. Has he mentioned how much he likes Luo Binghe’s cooking?
    .
    And yes, he does notice the somewhat predatory glint in Luo Binghe’s eyes when he watches Shen Qingqiu eat.
    But he’s sure it’s nothing to worry about.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe stares at the fruit in suspicion. He looks up and sees that it fell from a tree, growing conveniently at an angle out of a tilted plateau pushed up by the earthquake. Before Luo Binghe’s eyes, a light breeze shakes the tree’s branches, loosening another swollen purple fruit directly into Luo Binghe’s hands.

    Alright. Something is definitely up.

    A few months into Luo Binghe's journey through the Endless Abyss, things get a little strange. Is he finally getting lucky, or is someone—or something—looking out for him?

    Summary

    Out of the goodness of his heart (his insatiable curiosity and need to replenish his essence), Rei offers to let Karu top him. For practice.

    It's dangerous, after all, to jump in without any guidance; Karu can't be slinging that thing around willy-nilly without a clue of how to proceed. Who knows what might happen? Someone could get hurt.

    Summary

    There was something in Astarion's voice that Elric wasn’t catching– the reason why a paladin like him was still alive in the first place. Blood welled up in a hot line across his windpipe, the dagger digging in, and Astarion’s breathing deepened as it trickled down El’s neck. The reality of it washed over him like rain.

    “You want me,” he said.

    “To be mine,” Astarion said, soft, “as you promised.”

    --

    Or: a dark fantasy twist on the Ascension and its aftermath, and what it means to make choices you can't take back.

    --

    Or: Psst. Come closer. Yeah, you. This is the absolute opposite of a redemption fic. A post-canon, fall-from-grace, "I can make you infinitely worse" kind of story, in which there is no simple happy ending. But there's mystery on the way. And dragons. True love, even. So if you're fine with that, come aboard. It's going to be a wild ride.

    Summary

    Farther up the hill, they find a mindflayer trapped beneath the rubble. It squirms where it lies and locks furious eyes with Tav. It stares and it stares, but nothing happens.

    “Um,” Tav says.

    “Nothing for you to eat there, I’m afraid.” Shadowheart sounds almost cheery before she stomps on the creature’s head. That’s the third time she’s been on top of things before Tav could form a thought.

    “Sorry,” he says. “I’m not used to killing things.”

    Smirk fading, Shadowheart looks at him with what might be pity. “Something tells me you might need to get used to it.”

    --

    In which cleric Tav is very good at healing, very bad at adventuring, and very attractive to the undead, despite that his smile might deal radiant damage.

    Summary

    "The Draco Orientalus Sino Dux, are the strongest* and most avid enemies** of evil. More commonly known as gold dragons, these majestic creatures hold firm lawful good*** moral standards and, regardless of their prideful and arrogant disposition, are usually**** seen as protectors.

    Beware, if you find yourself on the other side of these creatures' viewpoints, you will find a relentless enemy and can consider your existence forsaken.

    As Xanthus reads the writing in the old, decaying diary he found, something uncomfortable twists in his chest. If only he was more like how his kin is described... He hopes he can figure out what's wrong with him now that he has shapeshifted into a human.

    He wasn't counting on the mind-flayer invasion.

    Nor the interesting companions.

    Or the vampire.

    He's not complaining about any of it though.

    Summary

    But said paladin immediately frowns, “Categorically not when I’m asleep. If I’m losing blood I want to be conscious and consenting.” Astarion doesn’t get why he wouldn’t take the easier option, but then he notices a pink flush creeping up Revenant’s neck and ears… and it occurs to him that maybe he’s misread the situation. The stilted-ness isn’t unhappiness, it’s fluster.

    Revenant also knows he’s flustered, and exhales in short, sharp annoyance. He squares his shoulders and continues in a forcibly stern tone, “My proposition is - that I’ll let you bite me, but I want to bite you back.”

    It’s Astarion’s turn to be caught off guard, “Excuse me?”

    -

    (Or: a self-appointed vengeful ghost meets a vampire spawn, and reluctant sparks fly. Loosely follows the BG3 plot with canon divergence to keep it interesting. Astarion/Tav, but they’re both terrible at romance.)

    Summary

    They have their meals inside due to the cold. The warm aroma and steam block out the rest of the world. Luo Binghe’s eyes are bright as he discusses a recent mission with some Xian Shu disciples. Shen Qingqiu listens attentively, musing on how he must not be yet to throw off childhood, as he only mentions the girls in relation to their impressive use of garotting wires. He then inspires an impressive blush by pointing out a grain of rice stuck to Luo Binghe’s cheek.
    Shen Qingqiu knows it can’t last, he does.
    Luo Binghe had with his own hands prepared each and every of his meals for years, and in return he would be reduced to ripping apart a demonic beast and licking the blood from his fingers, beyond the point of caring whether it was the beasts or his own.
    --
    Or: Shen Qingqiu becomes used to Luo Binghe's delicious cooking, which feels like something much more than just food. When Luo Binghe... isn't there... well, he's an immortal cultivator, so he can skip out on eating, no problem, he's fine, life continues as normal.
    Aiya, no problem, he said! Liu-shidi, don't give me that look!

    Summary

    “Oh,” Shen Qingqiu says. He’s too fucking tired to do a whole elaborate roleplay right now, Luo Binghe, please have mercy! “Binghe is a lovely statue, but could he not be one right now so we can talk about this?”
    Reluctantly, Luo Binghe drops the pose. There’s definitely a dejected slump to his shoulders; Shen Qingqiu is going to have to handle this one delicately. (Now on his list of things he did not realize being married would entail: carefully explaining to your husband that you
    do want to do sexy statue roleplay with him, just not right this minute.)

    Shen Qingqiu does some... erotic art appreciation.

    Summary

    Astarion mouths wet kisses against the other side of Tav’s neck, and then he mutters something so unsettling into his skin that Tav is almost certain he misheard it.

    “What did you say?”

    “I wonder how much blood you’d have to lose,” Astarion repeats, “for your cock to stay soft?”

     

    In which Astarion drinks way, way, way too much of Tav's blood one time, and then they both get incredibly horny (and emotional) about it.
