    Summary

    If the desperation in his eyes and the heartbreak on his face hadn’t already been enough to break you, the tremble in his voice would have done it. And even without all that, how could you ever say no to this man? He who stood beside you as you discovered your lost self. He who remained beside you when you learned your cursed history. He who bound the knots of your restraints and stroked your hair through the night, even as you writhed and fought to end his life. He helped you gain your freedom from the damnation of your birth. How could you possibly deny helping him with his own freedom?

    But, says a voice in your head, seven thousand souls.

    ----

    A story in which we discover just how damned an ascended vampire can be, and just how far you will go to save the elf you loved.

    Summary

    In which Astarion is an ex-olympic figure skater and Gale is a famous musician. They get paired together as Dancing on Ice's first ever same sex couple. Shenanigans ensue.

    -

    “How did you even get in? I very definitely remember locking up.”

    “Ah,” Gale looks ever-so-slightly abashed. Only slightly, though. Mostly he looks a little proud of himself. “You know how the receptionist is always asleep?”

    Astarion's eyebrows shoot up.

    “Gale Dekarios, you shady thing.”

    “I only borrowed it! He's never been awake enough to ask about spares, so. It was easier to just sort it out myself.”

    “It would have been easier to ask me,” Astarion points out.

    “Mmmm,” Gale hums, doubtfully. “I don't know if I'd ever consider you the ‘easier’ option, Astarion, I feel that would be doing your commitment to cantankerousness a great disservice.”

    I'd be extremely easy if you weren't so fucking annoying, Astarion thinks.

    Summary

    The night after the Final Battle, after months of sexual tension, pining, and fevered kisses, Tavi and Gale finally made love. Tavi was on cloud nine. Until several days after their first time together Gale disappeared, leaving only a short letter behind with no real explanation. Tavi was devastated.

    Especially some weeks later when she realized she's pregnant, and it's definitely Gale's.

    He obviously doesn't want her, so she doesn't try to find him.

    But Astarion and Shadowheart have invited everyone to Baldur's Gate for their wedding. Tavi wonders if Gale will even show up and if she should tell him.

    If she does tell him, where will they go from there?

    aka: Gale is a lovable bastard, unplanned pregnancy, much angsty romance. LONGFIC that will continue even after the initial conflict is resolved, following Gale and Tavi's lives, with slice of life and more potential conflicts. I write wordy messy romantic smutty filth that goes on forever, you've been warned.

    NON CON TAG: is in reference to Mystra.

    Summary

    Astarion hadn’t looked away from her since breaking from her grasp, and he remained, carved from stone, unbreathing, undead. Her hand didn’t hold him—he could pull away, but she knew he wouldn’t. “Astarion,” she whispered. She could say his name every moment of every day, bewitched by the way it rolled off her tongue. “Let me take care of you. Isn’t it easier, not to think all the time?”

    The pain and anger had leached from his face, leaving behind only the man, beautiful, vulnerable, solemn, hungry, and so, so tired. Her hand crept up, long, elegant fingers curving around his chin, her thumb resting delicately on his lips, gentle enough to part them, and she stroked, feather-light, his lip soft beneath her. “One last time,” she whispered, as entranced by him as he was by her. “Invite me in. Have dinner with me.”

    An exploration of an older, selfish, and experienced Tav, defined by her quest for power and need for control—and Astarion, who might have bitten off more than he can chew. Has he found a powerful ally against Cazador, or merely exchanged one master for another?

    Plenty of smut, plot, tension, and a budding mystery. Now in Act 3!

    Summary

    This work will alternate POV between Astarion, Gale, and Halsin, and focus on character exploration, and expanding on a lot of sub-plots from the game regarding the three of them. The canon events will still occur, but a little out of order, and sometimes for different reasons.

    The main plot will revolve around Astarion’s gradual discovery of the Black Mass Ritual, and all the Infernal implications of its completion. His past trauma will feature heavily in this fic, and all that entails. The basic idea is that the Black Mass has been centuries in the making, and there are those in the Hells who would rather not see it succeed… at least not as Cazador intends.
