    Summary

    Tav is an Ilmateri monk with budding mastery of Ki, the spiritual energy that flows through all things. Astarion is a cornered animal, stuck oscillating between fight, flight, and fawn.

    Against Tav's better judgment, he becomes obsessed with a bright note in Astarion's Ki, betraying his relentless will to live.

    Halsin and Tav are kindred souls, both with pain that is sometimes too big to hold. Their relationship blooms where nothing else grows: Halsin's cursed homeland, for which Tav's understanding of Ki may prove the final piece of the puzzle Halsin needs to lift the curse. They become pillars of safety in Astarion's life as he learns to survive in a world not designed to make him suffer.

    Astarion feels safest reclaiming his body if he has complete control over Tav's. Tav is more than willing to please. Halsin is eager to perform whatever role is needed of him.

    Generally follows the events of BG3. Lots of angst, hurt/comfort, sex, healing, and happy endings. Essentially that song you hear behind Astarion's tent on repeat in fanfic form.

    Summary

    You wake up and you don’t know who you are. It’s like having lost your mouth without the knowledge that you actually have one, but you want to speak.
    It feels weird.
    You look around for guidance, something that might tell you more about the person you are.
    You are a person, aren’t you? You are in a room—her room? Your room?
    You shake your head as if hoping for the movement to disturb the disturbances you feel in your mind right now. It just makes you feel dizzy.
    You remember—something.
    You remember your name.
    Tav.
    This is not your name. Or is it?

     

    What if you are no longer able to distinguish between dream and reality?

    You find yourself lost in dreams with your favorite travel companion and lover, Astarion. The problem? Astarion is a character from your favorite video game. Or is he?

    If you are as deeply attached to Astarion as I am and have your mental health under control (as I mostly do), feel free to keep reading and enjoy the angst, the smut, and the hopefully (though I can't guarantee) good ending. Please mind the warnings in the notes section.

    Comments are welcome.

    Enjoy.

    Can the power of music and friendship cure a pitch black heart?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    i need a break from Cazador and my odly set of complex emotions rn, but I left it a ch 5

    like why am I here? how did I end up here?
    why is this so good? I am totally NOT rooting for Cazador, I want him to die screaming, but Randy, Sheena and even Ollie... they deserve better.

    I hate you Zeph, you magnificent creature. Such mad writing skills, holy fuck.

    Holy fucking shit, as I left it at chapter 9, and to whoever looks at this bookmark, dude, I hate Cazador with a passion, yet I am rage-reading this story because the author is so fucking amazing at writing. Like f me.

    Summary

    In the moment of quiet that follows, I see that his gaze has become rather fond. Then, he speaks again: “Look at you, telling exotic stories with your wine, and your fruit, and your bare feet on the grass. You’re a real hedonist, aren’t you?”

    “What do you mean?”

    “Exactly that. You’re a pleasure seeker.”

    I take my last bite of apple and chew it slowly, setting the core beside me and raising my hand to my mouth to swallow before I reply, meeting his eyes; “Perhaps I am. And why not? Pleasure’s an honest thing, isn’t it? Aren’t you a hedonist?”

    He laughs, though I catch something almost wistful in his expression, just for a second.

    “Is that not obvious?”

    Is it? I look at him. And I feel my mouth becoming sultry, my heart growing bolder, the longer that I do.

    “To pleasure, then,” I say, raising my cup to my lips, and my wrist to Astarion. It's a toast, and a dare, and a question I must know the answer to.

    ~
    The intimate love story of Strix, a half wood elf ranger/assassin, and Astarion, from her perspective. Erotic acts, acts of violence, acts of care, and their intersections. Birds, and bloody fucking kisses.

    Nature is healing.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I have never used bookmarks before, but look at me evolving as I try my best to go through what I can only assume is an amazing long fic.
    did I ever tell you I'm not fond of long fic anymore?
    but I read all of your short ones and I am hooked so now, I'm gonna treat every chapter like it's a short story, only the same awesome character shows up.
    i love strix btw, I get the name now, I feel like I'm in on the private joke.
    at what point does a bookmark become ridiculous and I just need to remind myself I left it at chapter 3

    update
    hello internet,
    I have fallen in love with a fictional character (again) and her esteemed author.
    send help.
    chapter 7 tbd

    Update2

    I did not cry at chapter 7, there was something in my eye. It's certainly not the kind of thing that will linger in one's mind and ponder over time. Not me.
    Chapter 8 tbd

    we don't talk about what happened between these chapters. Emotions were felt.

    Chapter 10 tbd
