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.

Items of Healing -or- What's in Tav's Bag? by vgersix
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

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.Bookmarked by smithy_of_words

Summary
The secret to surviving is simple. It’s the execution that poses problems.
Don’t die.
It’s that easy.
auri knows people, and that's how she can tell; astarion is deeply, deeply fucked up.

Summary
“Maybe what you really need is a friend, not a lover.”
“I-- I would like that. I’ve held more people than I can count. An infinite parade of lovers. But a friend? I can’t think of a single one”
AKA Tav and Astarion join together to find a cure, to find themselves, and to find love. Post BG3, far fetched and far flung. Old friends, new enemies, and lots of emotion. Also a friendship between Gandrel and Astarion, which I think is very nice.

Summary
Astarion hadn’t looked away from her since breaking from her grasp, and he remained, carved from stone, unbreathing, undead. Her hand didn’t hold him—he could pull away, but she knew he wouldn’t. “Astarion,” she whispered. She could say his name every moment of every day, bewitched by the way it rolled off her tongue. “Let me take care of you. Isn’t it easier, not to think all the time?”
The pain and anger had leached from his face, leaving behind only the man, beautiful, vulnerable, solemn, hungry, and so, so tired. Her hand crept up, long, elegant fingers curving around his chin, her thumb resting delicately on his lips, gentle enough to part them, and she stroked, feather-light, his lip soft beneath her. “One last time,” she whispered, as entranced by him as he was by her. “Invite me in. Have dinner with me.”
——
An exploration of an older, selfish, and experienced Tav, defined by her quest for power and need for control—and Astarion, who might have bitten off more than he can chew. Has he found a powerful ally against Cazador, or merely exchanged one master for another?
Plenty of smut, plot, tension, and a budding mystery. Now in Act 3!

Summary
Palamedes’s abilities were undeniable; he could accelerate the healing process in the human body, something non-Grisha were unable to achieve. His mum couldn’t, Camilla’s fathers couldn’t, Kiana couldn’t…and they had all stayed in Khazovo.
If Camilla couldn’t—
(Young Ravkan friends Camilla and Palamedes discover Palamedes is Grisha, and soon their lives begin to unfold apart from one another.)

Summary
It starts with a sparring match. The ring of metal on metal, the pounding of her blood in her ears and sweat stinging her eyes, mud on her knees. It starts with the two of them, breathless and flushed, tucked away in a secluded corner of the Grove, wondering when a sparring match became something else.
Or: Aloy experiences a sexual awakening, Kotallo offers therapeutic sparring, Erend earns his "World's Best Big Brother" badge, and Beta discovers an old-world musical tradition called "AC/DC".

Summary
When Fenris ran from Tevinter, he never expected to make it as far south as Ferelden. He never expected to drink from a goblet filled with darkspawn blood. He never expected to lead a motley crew against the Archdemon of the Fifth Blight, or anything that happened after.
But then again, in leaving Danarius he had expected very little. And there was nowhere to go but onward and up.

Summary
A witcher's job is simple: take contracts, slay monsters, profit. Alec is a wandering young witcher, nearing his wits' end, when he happens on a contract almost too good to be true. The catch is that the job comes with a partner: the beautiful, troublesome Magnus, who seems too wise to Alec's secrets, but keeps many of his own.
Together they hunt monsters—and fall in love.
(A Shadowhunters/The Witcher fusion. No knowledge of either canon necessary.)
