a crooked touch (Astarion x m!Tav) by eyes_of_the_lamb
Fandom: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
16 Nov 2024
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
Astarion adapts to his new life in the sun, seemingly free of Cazador, but with no shortage of new enemies who would see him captive again. Halsin, burdened with responsibility for so many that he often forgets himself, encounters some of the same enemies in his quest to restore the balance of nature.
After rescuing each other in a goblin camp, the pair finds they may have more in common than just shared enemies...
[[Slow-ish burn Astarion/Halsin. There are some Astarion/Gale/Halsin moments but this is primarily Astarion/Halsin getting together throughout my version of the BG3 story. Features lots of angst but ends happily.]]

Summary
“Please.” He’d asked quietly, his eyes softened. You saw the love in them, “I can’t do this alone.”
Thousands of lives.
He saw the look on your face, the depletion in your eyes.
“Tavanna.” He breathed, stepping forward but still in arms reach of Cazador, “if I ascend, you will never fear anything again.”
“I fear what you will become.” You answered, your voice shaking. “Please don’t make me do this.”It's been almost three years since you'd saved Baldur's Gate, three years since Astarion ascended and chose power over you. You'd tried so hard to change his mind, to make him see if he would chose to complete the ritual he'd be just as horrible as Cazador. He didn't listen.

Summary
She always felt better after crying, especially as a child when the sadness would strike her the night before she went to bed. She never slept better. Still, while half of the weight has left her shoulders as she makes her way back to camp, it still lingers. When she sees Astarion with his head of curls (his curls that are more addicting than his lips) turned to her, she approaches him.
“Can I speak with you?” She asks as if he’ll reject her without even looking at her.Or: On the way to Baldur's Gate, the party discovers one of Astarion's many past sins. One Tav relates too heavily with.

Summary
Astarion isn't used to kindness without having to pay a price for it. Especially after having his mind infected with a parasite, and meeting others who also suffer from it, he wouldn't think there'd be any inch of hospitality. Then he meets HER; she who smiles and laughs even after seeing the face of death at her door. One would believe a wayward soul like hers would be easy to pray upon, and that is certainly what Astarion plans to do. Still...there's something about her.

Summary
There is, for vampires and spawns, no others ways to see themselves than through a portrait - something Astarion could have only dreamed of while under Cazador's rule.
But in the darkest hour of the night, when the sun has yet to rise, when the line between master, father and tormentor blurs, shadows against the wall draw themselves in curious ways. There is a portrait in the golden boudoir. Who can say what it shows ?

Volo's 🦐 Fiesta by Rascheln, savriea, volos_erotic_library, writesoftheratt

Summary
Volo sighed, surveying his enormous, bulging erotic library. He should have been satisfied... but all he really wanted to read was a story about a wizard who came to fix a lifeguard's plumbing, and just as the lifeguard saved the wizard from a bathtub shark attack, their smallclothes fell off and they began to have sex. Or... something like that. Not quite right, he thought, but he couldn't put his finger on quite what it was he wanted. Here are some stories he wrote instead.
(Or: Volo's Erotic Library presents a cheesy porn trope fiesta!)

Summary
For a split second, the illusion blurs and Tav's back in the circus. Laughter. A burst of flute music. Astarion’s face, much closer, his gaze unfocused. Close enough to touch.
“A suit of armor conceals scars of the flesh, but not of the soul.”
The dryad’s voice is smooth, a silken thread that weaves the illusion back together. Tav blinks and he’s in the forest again, fully in her thrall, just in time to hear her next question.
“What is his greatest shame?”
In the familiar environs of Rivington, Tav confronts harsh realities about Astarion and their relationship. Early Act 3. Astarion x m!Tav.

Summary
The light gathered itself onto an old willow tree where its long, feathery branches caressed a fallen figure. The vampire that Tav hit leaned against the trunk; his hand had reached for the embedded arrow before exhaustion took its toll on him.
Tav lingered forward with caution, her crossbow aimed at the vampire’s heart. Sweat creased her forehead and meandered down her cheeks. Her own heart beat in quick succession, beating so fast she feared it would pop at any moment.
Tav gulped down the lump that tempted to lodge itself in her throat. As she moved closer, the vampire’s eyes peeled open. Tav halted as she was met with a pair of red that shimmered against the moonlight. What froze Tav all the more was the sly smile that crossed his pale face.
---In an alternate reality where Tav’s expertise lies in monster hunting, she forms an unlikely alliance with Astarion in order to save the children of her tribe from vampires. Amidst the danger in their journey, their reluctant partnership slowly evolves to that of a forbidden bond.
