Summary
[the_shadowhand]
I would be willing to help you come up with ideas, if you want, so long as you’re willing to teach me your ways with dirty talk.
It’s… hard for me, I suppose. I never know what to say, let alone with the presence you have.[catsire]
Why Herr Shadowhand, are you flirting?[the_shadowhand]
Not intentionally. More… admiring a skill you have that I lack.Caleb is not disappointed. He’s not disappointed when they meet and The Shadowhand has the same casual fake flirty tone as his text. He’s not disappointed when they end up filming together, his feelings most definitely not returned. Caleb can live with the heat of his fixation on the other man as they, somehow, become friends beyond their work. He can handle himself just fine.
It doesn’t matter that The Shadowhand is gorgeous and brilliant besides. He likes Caleb well enough and there could be hope, if Caleb wasn’t such a fucking mess. They can be friends, and coworkers of a strange sort. It’s fine.
It’s fine.
Until it’s not.

So who better to teach him than Anders, whose numerous escape attempts included several marathons across Lake Calenhad? He’s only looking out for the well-being of the group, after all! But as he teaches Fenris how to swim, Anders learns a little more about his companion, and himself, in the process.

Summary
Being back in Bassuras is some bullshit, even with the Hells along to distract Ashton from the wounds of their past cropping up everywhere they look and the weight of their irrational fear that they weren't gonna be able to break out of this town a second time.
Will says Ashton's on edge. Of fucking course Ashton's on edge. There's no fixing that, unless he can manage to get drunk, get laid, or get in a fight.
Will has a solution for one of those things, and it's not the one Ashton expects.

Summary
They weren't talking about it. Gale shouldn't have been surprised; Astarion wasn't known for sharing his feelings unless it was to complain. Where Gale wore his heart on his sleeve, his newfound vampiric lover kept his squirreled away, shoving it down as far from the surface as he could manage.
-OR-
Gale tries casual sex, and falls in love immediately.

Summary
Last Light was one of many BDSM clubs in Baldur's Gate, but one could argue it was the best place in the city to introduce someone new to the kink community. In fact, Astarion had argued that on more than one occasion. He delighted in welcoming in newcomers, so of course when a friend-of-a-friend showed up one night, Astarion was happy to show him the ropes. So to speak.

Don't You Hear Me Howling? by Gewhana for thvmission
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
24 May 2024
Tags
Summary
Glasses looked away shyly, and Astarion couldn't even bring himself to be annoyed that Karlach was right. Most of the time when he went out like this, he had only a passing interest in whoever he ended up going home with. They were a good meal. Something to occupy the long, endless nights. Maybe a little pleasure, if they knew what they were doing. Content to let potential lovers come to him, Astarion rarely pursued anyone in particular. He hadn't wanted anyone in particular.
-OR-
After several long centuries, life is easier for Astarion than it's ever been. Still, he can't help but feel like he's missing something.

Summary
Gale stood hesitantly, just far enough from the door of Sharess’ Caress that his intended destination wasn’t obvious to any passers-by. He adjusted his robe unnecessarily, smoothing a non-existent crease from one purple sleeve. He was suddenly aware of his heart thumping rather loudly. It was a cool night, but he could feel his forehead tingling as though he were about to start sweating.
This was a mad idea. He could just turn around now and go back to his room at the Elfsong. Spend the evening reading. Alone. Again.
---
Non-tadpole AU where Astarion is sent to work at Sharess' Caress to procure victims for Cazador, and Gale finds himself seeking company.

Summary
Gale Dekarios is interested in immortality, and vampires, and devilish contracts, and so it only makes sense that he would kidnap a vampire spawn to experiment on. He doesn't intend to torture it. He only needs to stop it from running away, while he figures out a longer-term solution to its inconvenient compulsions.
