I Feel Your Heartbeat In My Soul (Our Futures Bound, Our Bodies Know) by Curasha
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
12 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
From the moment your soulmate comes into the world, your hearts beat in sync. You would never know the difference between your heartbeat and theirs unless an irregularity occurred in one.
When Astarion learns of this, he can’t contain his giddiness at the fact that there is someone out there perfect for him and in turn, he is someone else’s perfect. When he reaches of age – at least by human standards – he is finally taken to a Soul Matcher—someone magically gifted to trace the connection between souls.
“I don’t detect another soul.”
Astarion’s heart drops but he’s told that this happens sometimes. His soulmate may not exist yet. He should check back in another year or so.
Astarion continues to do this for 19 years, his hope dwindling more so each time.
“I feel nothing. Perhaps you should-”
At 37, Astarion leaves before the Soul Matcher can finish his words and empty reassurances. At 37, Astarion dies and so does his belief that there is someone out there for everyone. He believes this for the next 161 years.
And then he wakes up with a heartbeat that cannot be his, for he is undead and his heart stopped beating long ago. -

The Last Will and Testament of Cazador Szarr by AbigailMoment

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

Summary
"We haven't spoken since that day you left, but you... you thought of me?"
Astarion hesitates, hope a fragile thing, doubly so for his double desires. "All this time?"
Gale chuckles at that - if he only knew the days and nights he ticked away thinking of him, worrying for his safety. Truthfully, he thought often of their entire party. He worried about Karlach and Wyll in Avernus, of Lae'zel in the astral plane, of Shadowheart and her parents - but no single member of their party occupied his thoughts like Astarion. In ways he never considered, Astarion took up residence in his mind, in his heart. Gale smiled softly, running his fingers through his greying hair. "Of course.”
—
Having gone their separate ways after the fall of The Absolute, Gale and Astarion meet once more at the reunion party and discover they’d both been rather foolish.

Summary
Astarion heard Gale swallow thickly and then he could smell it. Lust. Sweet and fragrant. The wizard's gaze flicked down to his mouth.
All at once everything fell into place.
Of course he wouldn't take him to his bedroom and tell him to strip.
The wizard possessed something Cazador had never had: Manners.
He’d chosen a far more subtle approach that left Astarion the comforting illusion of free will. The trap hadn’t been as crude as food and shelter. No, Astarion had been accruing a far less obvious debt. The library card. The suddenly tuned piano. The bottles of bergamot and rosemary oil that had found a way into his bathroom. The glasses. The ring. A debt he had never agreed to, but still it had built.
Anyone could tell what the wizard wanted in payment.Waterdeep will be many things for Astarion. A place to rest. A place to heal. A place to figure out what the fuck he wants to do with his life now.
It will also be a place of endless frustration with a wizard who refuses to collect on his debts and a stranger he can not keep himself from returning to.
Really, who came up with that anonymity spell anyway?
