    Summary

    When Peter Grant is whisked out of unemployment and into a post as Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he expects the teenagers to be the worst things in the castle. It's a pity Lesley May thinks one of the other new professors might be working for the Faceless Man. And as far as she's concerned, the most likely suspect is Defense expert Thomas Nightingale--gorgeous, talented, and a totally sketchy bastard.

    Summary

    Halsin has lived long enough to gain and lose many a friend, lover, companion. Such is the fate of elves that seek out company of shorter-lived races. So, when he meets a ragtag group of circumstance-driven adventurers, headed for the dangerous Shadow Cursed lands, he tries his best not to let his heart get too attached.

    Astarion knows his group is looking for a solution to their tadpole problem. Unfortunately for them, said tadpole appears to be the solution to his more pressing Cazador problem. So, he does what he must do: charm and manipulate his way to safety, just as he always has. He didn't account for it leaving such a bitter taste in his mouth.

    Neither of them was prepared for the other, and yet, they were inevitable.

    Summary

    Halsin was a relatively new addition to their camp, and Astarion wasn’t quite sure what to make of him. Of course, the druid certainly pretended to be kind, and helpful, and considerate, but surely that was just a little too good to be true. Astarion needed to keep his guard up, because it seemed that there were fresh things trying to kill them on a daily basis, even on top of the ever-present threat of ceremorphosis, and he still had Cazador to worry about. It was certainly no time to go soft.

    Astarion negotiates the plot of Baldur's Gate 3 (and a little bit beyond), facing the standard trauma and tribulations, all while stubbornly trying to avoid falling in love with their resident druid.

    Summary

    Between the beats of Tav’s heart, the world winked from existence. Astarion lurched in confusion, clawing at his own throat when he realized that he couldn’t hear himself scream. He could feel someone’s grip squeeze his wrist painfully tight. They tugged him towards some random direction, and he tripped over his own feet, tumbling to the ground.

    Five years post-game. While headed to Gale’s tower, Astarion is cursed by a vicious spell that sends him reeling. Tav is immediately captured by the mysterious woman who cast it--someone angry and powerful, with a vendetta against them both. Blind, deafened, and terrified, Astarion soon finds himself caught up in the throes of a vast conspiracy that involves his haunting past, the Urge’s many sins, and the very future of Waterdeep.

    (Meanwhile, Gale has problems of his own...)

    Summary

    This work will alternate POV between Astarion, Gale, and Halsin, and focus on character exploration, and expanding on a lot of sub-plots from the game regarding the three of them. The canon events will still occur, but a little out of order, and sometimes for different reasons.

    The main plot will revolve around Astarion’s gradual discovery of the Black Mass Ritual, and all the Infernal implications of its completion. His past trauma will feature heavily in this fic, and all that entails. The basic idea is that the Black Mass has been centuries in the making, and there are those in the Hells who would rather not see it succeed… at least not as Cazador intends.
