    Summary

    “Then, what is it you offer?”

    The barkeep slid the requested wine up beside Astarion, and the pale stranger’s knowing smile returned. He leaned forward, closer now. When he reached past Astarion to fetch the glass, Astarion caught the otherworldly scent of his skin: earthy and herbal, but blue and scorched like the astral zephyr, as though what he had said about the planes was true. As the elf straightened, he paused for a moment, lingering at Astarion’s ear. He uttered a simple word: “Pleasure.”


    Ten years after the defeat of the Absolute, Astarion haunts the streets of the Sword Coast like a ghost, alone, searching desperately for a cure to his undeath. While following the trail of a shadowy rumor, he meets a dark and mysterious man who reminds him of himself. With his fate hanging in the balance, he must decide whether to take this stranger’s hand and be led to a life new and strange. But—at what cost?

    Summary

    Adjusting to life as a mind flayer is difficult, especially when Moss feels emotions with their entire body, and the thoughts of strangers keep physically bumping into them. The mixed opinions of the public - and of their companions - certainly aren't helping, either. But the battle is won, and at least the Emperor is here to mentor them as they help him rebuild the city.
    Maybe he'll even hold their hand.

    A post-game fix-it story about learning to be illithid, but also rebuilding, reconnecting, and rediscovery. Everyone deserves to be happy, the Emperor most of all. Grab a page of acrostics, a bowl of soup, and maybe a toothbrush for the nauseatingly teeth-rotting fluff of this absolute character worship novel I've written for our sorely misrepresented big squid.

    Established post-game Emps/illithid genderless Tav, second-person POV via Tav, NOT a reader/self-insert/blank slate Tav story.
    M rating is only for chapter 11. Updated with better formatting and a bunch of art! Complete. <3

    Summary

    Astarion knew what he was getting into the moment Gale asked for his hand and Astarion found himself temporarily speechless before saying yes. Amidst all the joy and love that made him remember for an instant what it was to feel alive, nothing could stop the immediate follow-up reminder that Gale was so very, very human, and Astarion was not.

    Seventy years after his goddess ordered him to sacrifice his own life, Gale Dekarios defies all odds and dies painlessly and at peace, surrounded by his chosen family. It was a long-expected parting, but that's of little comfort to his devastated spouse, who must now face life without him. Fortunately for Astarion, Gale had a particular affinity for Illusion, and with several decades to prepare for his natural death, he was never going to just leave his husband to grieve on his own.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Every Harper in the vicinity vanishes with an alacrity she will later dryly remark they should consider showing during battle, and Jaheira’s mind goes absolutely fucking blank.

    “I’m sorry, I- what do you want me to do? I can leave…” Under her breath, she adds, “I can jump into the abyss in the Sharran temple, maybe, fuck.”
