    Summary

    A year after the fall of the Netherbrain, the wizard Soleil's quiet life is disrupted by a previously assumed dead devil, who has now come to collect his due.

    "It's always the questions with you,” he hummed and swirled the red wine around his glass as he spoke. “Curiosity killed the cat."
    "But satisfaction brought it back,” she replied tersely. “Besides, weren't I supposed to be the mouse?" This question was rhetorical. Soleil was fully aware of the role she played before him. "Speaking of things coming back from the dead, let's address the hollyphant in the room; how are you here?"

    Summary

    Slow burn romance FAST BURN SMUT

    Raphael is the rising Archdevil Supreme, thanks to the efforts of Octavia "Tav" Sunrise and her team. He's ready to bless his chosen and begin his campaign in the mortal world...but the paladin that he has his heart set on is already sworn to an oath.

    ~
    He was clearly enjoying her predicament, dark eyes tracing the twisting, shining lines of her curves. Tav bared her teeth in a snarl. “This is the Hells, love. If you’re not suffering a little, are you even having fun?”

    Summary

    The threat of the cult of the Absolute has caused the heavens and the Hells to become concerned about the potential loss of hundreds of thousands of souls that give the gods and the Archdevils their powers. While the gods are forbidden from interfering by Ao, the Hells are under no such limitations, and several prominent agents of the Hells have been sent to “help” Tav and her companions fight the Absolute. The Hells seem to be intent on wreaking havoc on the Material Plane, leaving Tav to clean up their messes and stop all Nine Hells from breaking loose.

    Meanwhile, Tav meets a mysterious nobleman on the nautiloid named Raphael who is incredibly irritated that he ended up tadpoled and traveling with morons. When he appears to know more about the happenings in Faerun than he should, Tav quickly suspects that he’s far more than what he appears to be.

    It’s going to take an incredible amount of patience and ingenuity for Tav to both defeat the Elderbrain and stop the Hells from fucking everything up.

    Summary

    “What?” Astarion seems nearly speechless, his silver tongue gone heavy in his mouth as he blinks, coming damn close to outright stuttering, “I—I mean, surely you—I’ve seen how you look at me!” He huffs, looking frustrated and confused and completely thrown off.

    It’s almost endearing, to see him grow so flustered, his suave persona melting through his shock. You can’t help but smile, “I’m just not really interested in sex. That’s all.” You shrug, and Astarion looks at you as if that tadpole in your head has finally started to transform you.

     

    (Or, you don’t want sex. Astarion doesn’t know what to make of that.)

    Summary

    Astarion tilts his head to the side, considering her. “Surely your needs can't be so difficult to meet. It sounds like you've had bad lovers.”

    Shadowheart snorts. Auri can't stop thinking about what Astarion said in bed the other night. She says, “The problem is that I have trouble letting go of control with people that I don't trust. And people that I trust are few and far between.”

    Astarion smirks. “Yes, I can see how that would be difficult. I tend to be the one doing the controlling, if we can call it that, but letting it go can be just as…” Astarion trails off as if searching for the perfect word. “Fulfilling.”

    Auri blinks. “W– what?”

    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.

    Summary

    Mackenzie’s week is going to end like a country song.

    Her cat died a month ago, her ancient Toyota Camry is on its last legs, and she thinks her Twitch streamer husband Ari, who she supports fully on her dime, is cheating on her…again. Things couldn’t get any worse.

    When a handsome, mysterious stranger named Astarion Ancunin waltzes into her life and sweeps her off her feet, she thinks things are starting to look up. However, she didn’t expect him to take her wish to start over as a carefree aristocrat so literally. Or to discover the two men have secrets of their own- some of which are deadlier than others.

    There’s a saying that home is where the heart is- will she find it with Astarion, in Baldur’s Gate?

    Summary


    “By all means, do something less exceptional… and think of me while you’re doing it.”

    You've already slept with Astarion, but turn down his advances at the tiefling party to spend the night with someone else. However, thanks to your tadpoles, Astarion ensures that your mind doesn't wander far.

    It starts something neither of you can resist.

    This shameless smut is a one-shot-turned-multi-chapter spicy Astarion/reader series featuring themes of tadpole sex, kink, some dubcon, and generally being mean(?) to Gale. Each chapter can be read as a standalone.

    Summary

    That’s how a predator works—by singling out the weakest member of the herd. The one who’ll hardly put up a fight. And Astarion is a predator, if for no other reason than that he never had another choice. Tav’s drawn out this hunt longer than any other, perhaps, and now the strain is showing. Neither of them can run forever.

    It settles on Tav then: a cold certainty.

    Tonight is the night he stops running.

    Once they’ve reached the tenuous safety of Last Light Inn, it’s time for Tav and Astarion to lay a few cards on the table. Or maybe just one. Early Act 2. Astarion x m!Tav.
