Summary
Before he was Mercury Ingellvar, Rook’s foster parents arranged an academic marriage with one of the Watch’s senior researchers: a professor Rook has never met—until now. He’s sure Emmrich Volkarin doesn’t like him, and he’s not sure he likes Emmrich, either... until a disagreement reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of their relationship.
A comedy of errors and a romance of erudition.

Summary
“I take it that bard wasn't your first.” He saw them flinch. Their knuckles turned white where they gripped the fabric of their pants.
Their silence was the only answer he needed. The guilt weighed heavily on them, anyone could see it. He couldn't believe the others actually believed them when they said they didn't do it. And, oh, was that corpse brutalized. Far beyond what was necessary for her death. No, they – whatever part of them it was – enjoyed it.
They were quite the puzzle, for someone who cared about solving that sort of thing. All the parts of them seemed to clash, mixed together into a slurry of a mind that couldn't decide what it wanted to be. The naive murderer, the mad idealist – all of it got lost to the chaos in their head.
It was all the easier to control a person that didn't know who they were.
Dark urge's adventures with love and worms.

Summary
Tav is about to try to convince her it’s nothing, perhaps blame the exhaustion, maybe play it off as fever. He doesn’t get to, because another blade is added into the equation, slipped around Lae’zel so quickly and softly that neither of them notice before the owner speaks.
“You so much as twitch, gith, and I will cut your head clean off.” Astarion hisses into her ear. “You think he is the only one watching over me obsessively? It goes both ways, darling, we are never out of each other’s sight. Now drop the fucking sword.”
Lae’zel is frozen still for another moment before she curses lowly in her throat and drops her weapon, her hands slowly raising in surrender.
Astarion, defending him against a githyanki and making her bloody submit to him. Gods, Tav wants to kiss him stupid.
or; how it would've gone if Tav and Astarion clearly moved in the same circles and went into this mess already knowing each other

Summary
This was how it worked wasn't it? Getting somebody to trust you.
After waking up on the nautiloid, Tav's head has been a clean empty slate. Maybe his new companions could help him fill in the gaps, and solve the mysteries surrounding all of them.

Summary
The first part of a three-part work centering around Astarion's healing journey. The original work was supposed to be broken up like this and I never got around to it, so fixing it in hindsight.
Slow-burn with both Halsin & Astarion and Tav & Astarion content in a healthy way. Lots of angst, so much comfort your teeth will hurt and a whole lot of healing.
===========
Astarion's swirling thoughts were interrupted abruptly as they passed through a gate; they had moved into a shadier part of the market and his escort's grip had tightened less-than-protectively on his arm. Shit.
The vampire's eyes searched his face, a cold chill of fear running through him at what he found. Dumb though he was, the man knew something.
“I think your master would be very interested in knowing where his favorite slave is.”
===========
3 Part Series focused on consent, healing and personal growth.
