Summary
Scenes overheard in the living room of 221B Baker Street, over a period of four months. This began as an exercise in dialogue without exposition, and continues, probably?
My gratitude is due to Jude for their excellent beta work. John & Sherlock's rooms sharing a vent is lifted from the fantastic Lorem Ipsum series, for which I beg Saathi's pardon.

Basically what it says on the tin-- Sherlock pairings done in the key of various fictional and semi-fictional worlds. No setting is safe!

Summary
(part of a series but is a stand alone work - that's just to keep everything together)
Following Elorin the kind-hearted drow sorcerer through the events of Baldur's Gate 3 as he collects some extra companions. He's desperately trying to leave his past behind him, but it's hard when he's trying to save everyone - especially a deep gnome who knows the drow all too well, a drider he has far too much in common with, and a worshipper of pain he just can't get out of his head.

Summary
If she'd been alone, he might have pressed her for information then left her remains on the beach and moved on. But she had a spiky-looking Gith with her and a wizard with terrible hair so Astarion opted for caution and belated politeness. "Marichar." She said, massaging a spot over her breastbone where he'd possibly elbowed her.
And thus had begun - whatever this was. His membership among this gaggle of motley idiots.Bookmarked by quid_est

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
Abdirak comes in with the winter chill like a cat coming in from the cold. He is welcome in Ereth and Astarion's home, but his arrival brings tensions. Does Ereth go too fast, or does Abdirak go too slow? Ereth doesn't know what the priest wants from him, and it unnerves him more than he'd like to admit. Abdirak has his trust, his submission, his love, his home. Ereth doesn't know what else to give.

Also, this is my first time ever posting here, so I'm trying to get a handle on all appropriate tags/warnings/etc. Forgive me please if I've done this wrong.
