Summary
"Astarion!" She's white with horror, frozen. Siobhan makes no attempt to hide her near nakedness. He's already seen too much.
As he gets closer, he can see countless faint white lines crisscrossing beneath the fresh cuts, decades of self-mutilation. This is not the first time she's done this.
"You mustn't tell the others," she begs, tears flowing freely down her face. "Please, they wouldn't understand."
Astarion doesn't know how to respond, struck dumb by what he's caught her doing and her request. Siobhan's eyes search his face frantically, trying to divine what he's thinking and what he'll do next. With a start, he realizes they're playing out the inverse of the night he'd tried to drink from her. Now, he's the one being asked to protect a horrible secret.
But he can hardly focus on what to do next, all thoughts deafened by the sound of her throbbing heartbeat pounding in his ears and the pungent smell of her blood flooding his nostrils.

Bloodletting is a remedy that is hardly possible to estimate too highly. Or that's what they say. Siobhan has enough darkness in her past that maybe a little bloodletting is called for. Unbeknownst to her, Astarion is more than happy to oblige.

Summary
Gale of Waterdeep began to irritate her the moment he sauntered out of that cursed portal and into her life, and from there on Tav must contend with the self-important, blusterous, ticking-time-bomb of a wizard whose sole existence seemed at odds with her desire for peace and quiet. Will it be too late for Tav, when she realises the lines between love and hate can become very, very blurred?

Summary
Elaris had never been anything but a raging fire caged in flesh — magic untamed, surging through her veins like the curse it was rather than the gift it should be. Never was she able to control her power, only suffered beneath its wrath. And when it had finally ravaged everything she loved, there was no one left to blame but herself, the ruin she had turned into.
To the wizard of their party she was a challenge, a puzzle, something he needed to unravel to understand, something he could very easily devour if being careful slipped his mind. She became his mystery, his favourite riddle, and Gale made it his mission solving it, even if she refused to be deciphered.
On the contrary Astarion believed she wore her rudeness as a shield, her kindness as compensation for a debt too large for her to ever pay. She was a fool, a dangerous one at that, and he had no time for fools. Certainly not for the one who flinched at life, whose only motivation to treasure her own existence was the fact that she considered it punishment.
What was there to pity? If she was an inferno he would let her burn to ashes.

Summary
Sarah, now seventeen, gets a weekend job at a book store. The stranger that walks into it turns her world upside-down...
Added for the purposes of creative / community preservation (which is a very important thing).
This is a fic I wrote *many* years ago, which was removed during NC-17 culls on other websites. It did pretty well, but hasn't been online for a while, the last I saw was a very badly formatted version from a mailing list. I'm going to add it *as-is*, despite the horror of being a writer looking back at previous works (you know what I'm saying)! Some of my chapters are funky lengths. I appeared to really like ellipses. I might fix any typos I see later - they've been there a long time...!
Not really underage where I'm from, but marked that way as I wrote Sarah at 17. I'm intrigued by the tags I've had to add to this - how great the AO3 tagging system is, genuinely! But - I'm also a little embarrassed that I've had to add so many tags I would - personally (no judgement here) - normally avoid. Fascinating... Teenage me was clearly working through some sh*t. Villains though... uhh, yeah that's never going away.
