Summary
It was not exactly an uncommon occurrence for Gale and Falorin to stay up late into their evenings together.
More often than not, it was their studies that kept them up until one yawn too many convinced them to part ways, each one returning to their respective bedroll.
That night, Falorin came to visit him later than usual.

When He’s all but Forgotten How to Love Again by bg_brainrot

Summary
The man grunts as he rolls off of you. “Argh. You wretched little–”
Your mind is wracked with pain, with flashes of memory that you can’t place. A previous life? You’re not sure. But after the sting of your heads colliding, this strain is too much for your mind to bear. Your vision teeters, hanging on by a single thread, all that’s left are that man’s intense red eyes.
You emerge from your trance with a shaky breath. You reach for your throat, as if to make sure that it’s still in one piece, only to find it coated in a thin sheen of sweat.
What was that.
___
You saved Baldur’s Gate almost 300 years ago. You died 150 years ago. On a new life now, you find that memories from your past lead you to a specific silver-haired man. Who was he, and why won't he leave you be?
tldr; An Elf-Tav reincarnation story where Tav dreams about Astarion in their nightly reveries and eventually seeks him out once they reach maturity. Things definitely totally go well.

Summary
Noun. [Term originating from the Roman Empire] The pater familias was the oldest living male in a household, and could legally exercise autocratic authority over his extended family. The term is Latin for "father of the family" or the "owner of the family estate".
After their escape from the nautiloid vessel, Astarion joins the party of Lillen Anmactíre, a High Elf rogue like himself - much older but no less compelling, and with a storied past of his own behind him. Astarion finds in due course that this priest of Oghma, a grey-haired father-of-two, is by no means the dashing hero he might have worried about, nor as simple as he might have hoped.

Holy fuck. Most stunningly in character dialogue for Astarion. Not just that, the mannerisms, the façade, the dears and darlings, the sexuality. Damn. It's PERFECT. Take notes. And he's trans?! Fuck. Actually fascinating Tav. Actually interesting take on age diff, especially when it's explicitly just Cazador 2.0. I've NEVER seen such a perfect depiction of the knowing, the attempt to manipulate even while being railroaded into it, the feeling of anything is better than nothing, protection is better than nothing, of "I promise that no one will ever hurt you again but me," of being so desperate to hear it again, of being turned on by being hurt (real, not pretend), being punished (really, awfully), being humiliated (actually, sickeningly) and disapointed (always) and used (of course) and of wanting it anyway. Of being turned on by it anyway. Despite? Because? It's all the same if you don't think too hard. Of pushing so hard to flip it all for just one night, pushing too hard, because in the morning it will be the same anyway, and next time you won't have any more power to leverage, and wouldn't it be better that way? Fuck I have never been able to see it so starkly, how fucked up and desperate and hopeless and pitiful and awful it is to work for her to want you, need you, use you, hurt you -- anything to stay. Anything to keep the wolves at bay. She hurts you and you want it because you need it, or do you need it because you want it? Fuck. And you want it still. You'd work for it still, beg for it. You crave it still. You need it to hurt. That's the only way you know how to feel loved.

Summary
A collection of one-shots of various themes involving my Tav & Astarion, plus any others involved with the couple. This series is meant to host my smaller stories that don't host anything major that involves the main story, or just one-shots I wrote for fun that have no purpose in my main "canon" story for them.
Please note many of these do NOT fall into chronological order, but if they take part of the main storyline, I will be sure to add some kind of indication of where it is.
Or were just small deviations from my main canon I had for them that I desperately wanted to write about because I am a disaster.

Summary
There are countless versions of Realmspace. When the Absolute threatens this specific variant of the planet Toril, Corellon Larethian seeks out one of those from Earth who connect to the different threads of Realmspace to lead the team of adventurers to defeat the Absolute.
Raven, the desert-born disabled autistic woman Corellon has chosen as eir Cleric-Paladin, has her own goals. She wants the daughter that was taken from her, and she wants to stay in Faerûn after the adventure is over, rather than return to an Earth that punishes her for being who she is.
The Elven god will give her all she asks for in exchange for her aid in saving eir world - but as she travels alongside companions as burdened and heartbroken as she is, Raven starts to wonder if she's really as alone as she always believed herself to be, and starts to hope that maybe these new loved ones have a place in the life she's aiming to build for herself.

Summary
In the mystical realm of Thedas, The Dark Urge- an amnesiac elf known as Tav- awakens with no recollection of his identity or location. A cruel twist of fate ensnares him in the clutches of slavers who mistakenly identify him as a Dalish elf, setting in motion a harrowing journey. But before his captors can seal his fate (or vice versa), he crosses paths with the Iron Bull and his loyal Chargers, embarking on an unexpected alliance while en-route to Haven. All the while, a malevolent force looms over Thedas, threatening to plunge the realm into chaos and death, its arrival and Tav's forgotten past intrinsically entwined.
(TLDR: The Dark Urge ("Tav") wakes up in Thedas with a headache and no memories)

Summary
Lorroakan thinks he can best everyone's favourite bard-wizard duet. He cannot. He certainly cannot.
Or,
Lorroakan lays Therin out on the battlefield. Gale goes wild. Then they both do.
------------
“Don’t you dare touch him,” Gale’s voice was low, gravelly—he felt the Weave hum at his fingertips like never before. Therin was still pitifully trying to regain his strength, find his footing, though the world felt like it was spinning around him. He was one errant blow away from losing consciousness—the fear that struck in Gale’s heart turned to rage as it reached his mind.
“Oh, how lovely! Mystra’s obedient little lapdog, baring his teeth,” Lorroakan guffawed, “Tell me—will you whimper for her as you burn, or for your pathetic minstrel?”

Summary
Nearly two years have passed without a word from Astarion ever since the defeat of the Absolute. Since then, her companions have all moved on swiftly, while Xuan has tried to build some attempt of a quiet, peaceful life—she gardens, she reads, she doesn't have a tadpole stuck in her head—though it seems that Shadowheart and the others are inclined to call her a depressed recluse. Her attempts of peace begin to fracture when a letter arrives from her ex-lover.
(Alternatively, Astarion disappears for two years and tries to come back.)

Summary
Tav examined the ground. The fleshy, spiny, blood-spattered - you know what, they were done looking at the ground. The walls weren’t any better, though. They decided to focus on the empty hall space in front of them.
They made it outside, and observed the view. They spoke aloud.
“Ah, okay,” Tav said, nodding, like this all made perfect sense. Maybe the sooner they convinced themself, the sooner they could get to the end of this nightmare, and find themself back in their own bed. “So I'm in hell.”

Long after being declared dead from a fire caused by Petras' slip, she showed up at the camp late one night. She was hurtled into the war against the Absolute and back into the life of Astarion.

Summary

He couldn't possibly fall in love with her, could he?
