    Summary

    Astarion has a plan. It should be infallible, as it has always been.

    Karlach has no plan, no agenda other than living in the moment.

    Still, somehow, it worked. That is, until it didn’t work at all. Karlach happened to be the only person who could puncture Astarion's perfect plan, put him in a spot he’d never been in but so desperately wanted to be.

    Summary

    Astarion regards him, suspicious of that warm yet mischievous gaze he’s come to expect from Aurum. The paladin’s view of the world might be more optimistic than he can stomach some days, but he is clearly not so naive as Astarion once thought. Somewhere, buried under all that shining armor and chivalry, Aurum has a wicked streak.

    Inspired by the items my Tav (Aurum) carries in his pack for roleplaying reasons, this series is loosely linear at times, skipping over major plot points to examine the space between, the little bonding moments, and the growth of relationships over time. Astarion and Aurum (my Tav) explore kink and trauma together. (with guest appearances by Halsin)

    First 4 chapters are mature/non-spicy, just dealing with big feelings and trauma.
    Spice level increases to explicit at Chapter 5.
