    Summary

    He looked down, expecting to see a rock or a sandbag. Instead there was a bolt lodged in the middle of his chest, still bloodless. The second one hit before he raised a barrier, and it landed right next to the first one.

    Summary

    “Make it hurt, then. Kiss me like you want to kill me.”

    “I can do that.”

    Two broken stars in a decaying orbit, passing closer and closer together until the inevitable, devastating collision.

    Or, Tav is fucked up and down bad for Astarion, who doesn't quite see the appeal (but he's getting there). Sexual frustration, sloppy handjobs, a heavy dose of masochism, and way too many failed Insight checks ahead. Tav falls first, Astarion falls harder (eventually).

    Or, a tragic-but-hopeful romance told through a series of incredibly ill-advised sexual encounters.

    If you want to read a story where Astarion is sweet from the start and Tav is here to fix him, this isn't the one. If you want to read about two terribly broken men spending a good long while making each other worse before they make each other better, this might be for you. If you thought the in-game romance was a little too easy and it should have been ten times more painful and difficult to convince Astarion he's worthy of love, this is definitely for you.

    Set during the canonical events of Baldur's Gate 3.

    "If I asked you to," Alistair said, miming a violent throat slash, "someone, would you?"

    The Archdemon is dead, but Ferelden is desperate for resources and coin. Alistair struggles with the results of Morrigan's ritual and his new duties as king. When he needs a problem solved quickly, Zevran is happy to offer his blade—and his company.
