    Summary

    Liar, blazing across her mind, the first clear thought she’s had so far. It’s almost a relief to be so certain of something, so she lets it go.

    specific warnings and spoilers will be in the chapter notes for easy avoidance!

    Astarion's Nice, Simple Plan That Fell Apart by

    Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

    Summary

    Astarion had a plan. A nice, simple plan: seduce Tav, sleep with her, manipulate her feelings so she'd never turn on him.

    All she had to do was fall for it.
    And all he had to do was not fall for her.

    Which is where his nice, simple plan fell apart.

    - - -
    Exploring Astarion's POV throughout the game while romancing Dark Urge/Tav. Canon is followed in most cases, including with lines of dialogue from the game, but Act 2 and 3 break off from canon a few times in fun ways.

    Content warnings are listed ahead of the more intense chapters. Overall this fic (like the game) explores what healing from abuse looks like and has a lot of references to those themes.

    Summary

    "You're on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a princess. You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world."

    Link feels these words flood into his consciousness, and he knows them to be true, in the same instinctive way he knows his name is Link. There are very few truths in this new world for Link, so he clings to them tightly. His name, the soil beneath his feet, and what is demanded of him.

    or: a slay the princess zelda au, where the hero and the princess tear each other to pieces in fits of joy, distrust, or plain boredom, only to come back and piece each other back together again with the same blood-stained hands

    Summary

    “You’re late.”

    Gale froze mid-step. The familiarity of that voice made his heart pound so hard his ears throbbed. He slid his hands to his waist and rested his unsteady fingers on the grip of his gun.

    “I can hear you,” the ghost repeated. “C'mon, hurry up! I’ve been waiting ages.”

    Maybe he had indeed died and simply hadn’t noticed. Maybe everything around him was just a threshold, some kind of stage for a final sentence. It was the only plausible explanation. The dead did not speak in the world of the living.

    It was only when he reached the last flight of stairs that he finally saw her.

    A familiar, dream-like pair of shocked eyes stared right back at him from the other side of the hall. The woman stepped back a few paces and pressed a hand to her chest as her back hit the wall behind her. Gale felt once again as though a crater had opened beneath his feet and dragged him into a very distant past.

    Blue eyes like the sky, blond hair like the sun:

    It was Madge Undersee.

    Summary

    When he was first appointed as the Princess’ guard, Link did not know what lay ahead. Top of his class, and widely considered the most capable swordsman in Hyrule, he assumed that he would live a comfortable life following the Princess around until she became the Queen, if his retirement did not come first. What he did not expect was the extraordinary and all-consuming adventure that came to be.

    And it all began with the words, "Oh, Link. I'm home."

    (Or, Link finally starts to realise how he feels about Zelda after she returns from what he assumed would be an eternal fate as a dragon. Brave enough to save Hyrule (twice), but not enough to confront his feelings head-on.)
