a crooked touch (Astarion x m!Tav) by eyes_of_the_lamb
Fandom Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

Summary
“Make it hurt, then. Kiss me like you want to kill me.”
“I can do that.”
Two broken stars in a decaying orbit, passing closer and closer together until the inevitable, devastating collision.
Or, Tav is fucked up and down bad for Astarion, who doesn't quite see the appeal (but he's getting there). Sexual frustration, sloppy handjobs, a heavy dose of masochism, and way too many failed Insight checks ahead. Tav falls first, Astarion falls harder (eventually).
Or, a tragic-but-hopeful romance told through a series of incredibly ill-advised sexual encounters.
If you want to read a story where Astarion is sweet from the start and Tav is here to fix him, this isn't the one. If you want to read about two terribly broken men spending a good long while making each other worse before they make each other better, this might be for you. If you thought the in-game romance was a little too easy and it should have been ten times more painful and difficult to convince Astarion he's worthy of love, this is definitely for you.
Set during the canonical events of Baldur's Gate 3.

Summary
'Within the ball you see Raphael broken and bloody, dangling above the maw of the Archdevil Mephistopheles who is preparing to devour him.'
Abandoned by people he considered friends a depressed Astarion stalks the streets of Baldur's gate. He certainly isn't expecting to come across Raphael, the devil that he murdered. And he definitely wasn't expecting to develop feelings for him.
But what's better than the Devil you know?

Summary
I finished the game and wished there was more.
...A retelling of Baldur's Gate 3 where everything looks the same... if you squint.
Includes plot changes, chaotic relationships, and villains who get a few more wins- but the characters are still bumbling through it, same as before.
