    Summary

    When dusk settled the next night, the Nomad awoke in that same basement of that same Seattle apartment by that same unfortunate security guard. The mark marred their flesh once more, and their powers diminished. It filled them with dread having to be shackled like this once again. If this was a vision, it felt all too real and all too close to how Phyre remembered it.

    Except…

    Fabien was not in their head. No, more than that…

    Fabien survived.

    Summary

    Phyre, the Nomad, is an elder vampire who awakens in Seattle with no memory of how or why he arrived there, his skin marked with strange, mysterious symbols. While navigating the politics of the Camarilla and dealing with the mysterious voice inside of his head, he meets Max Webber, a younger, gentle Kindred who awakens a tenderness Phyre hasn’t felt in centuries.

    However, Phyre's inner voice, Fabien, the Malkavian detective trapped inside his mind, ignites a desire in him that he is unable to ever fully satisfy. Phyre faces the risk of fully losing himself to either a sweet comfort within reach or a need that he will never be able to truly satiate.

    Summary

    “My name is Astarion.” The vampire finally introduced himself in a languid drawl that seemed to have deepened to the consistency of molasses, his face flashing an artificial smile.

    Astarion was bewitching, spellbinding, almost; his manners weren’t immaculate but nonetheless remained irresistible. He possessed a peculiar air of appeal described in ancient tomes depicting powerful witches and seductive goddesses that could reduce mere mortals to servile, sycophantic, blabbering mess eager to satisfy every whim.

    Summary

    When Astarion is assaulted on their way to Baldur's Gate, he is not even surprised. Yet another day in his miserable life. He could have done without his party hearing about it, but it isn't as if they don't already know how depraved he is.

    That they care enough to rescue him is... unexpected.
    That they insist on not brushing it off and on giving him time to heal is downright ridiculous.

    What is he supposed to heal from exactly?
    His entire existence?

    ***

    Or, Astarion is raped and his traumas are catching up with him. But now he has a whole party behind him and, for the very first time, he has the luxury to break down.

    Summary

    Szarr Palace is attacked by a powerful order of Lathander's clerics, revealing Cazador Szarr's true nature to the citizens of Baldur's Gate. He and his spawn are forced to flee - from the relative safety of their home into the wilderness, with no lair to hide from the sun, no powerful contacts to conceal their traces. Cazador has to concede eventually and loosen his precious rules to ensure their survival. Is this the beginning of a new era where Spawn and Master might form a true alliance? Or will Cazador's thirst for power corrupt everything pure he touches?

    In short:
    We explore Familia Szarr’s very toxic ‘family’ dynamics, under suddenly changed circumstances. All their trauma is laid bare as they are ripped out of a reality they have known for centuries. While in some a glimmer of hope ignites, one cannot bear to lose even an ounce of his control...

    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

    For all Mizora’s attempts to keep Wyll isolated and dependent on her, there is one thing she can never take from him: the Blade of Frontiers. In his head, Wyll rewrites his own story and tells himself tales of his ideal self. No pact binds the Blade, no stone eye sits in his socket, and he doesn’t have to thank a devil for the beard on his face or the depth of his voice. As he begins to unravel the mystery of Astarion’s easy charm and clumsy lies, Wyll even lets himself pretend that he could someday have a life beyond the hunt.

    Mizora’s plans for Wyll go deeper than his pact, though. When she warps Wyll’s body into a shape of her own design, she also gives him a few gifts. Changes he has wanted for years are now permanently sculpted into his flesh with a fiendish twist, and Wyll can only ask himself… What would the Blade do?

    Or: Wyll copes with his devil boner by writing fanfiction of his own alter ego, and Astarion tries out some high-stakes strategies for monster hunter seduction.

    Summary

    Wyll was a big boy. He’d handled aches and pains and cycles for years before he began his transition, and he could surely handle it again for as long as he had to. He could power through the cramps, he could handle swapping out his rag, he could weather his back aching through the whole process.

    Even if he really, really didn’t want to.

    ---

    One particularly cruel side effect of Mizora turning Wyll into a devil is a resurgence of his menstrual cycle — except now it's got the torture of the hells behind it. Or: Wyll has a period again and is not dealing with it well, Mizora is being very evil about it, and Astarion is... Astarion.

    Summary

    “Astarion…” Halsin murmurs, low and careful.

    “Oh, but I do love the way my name sounds on your lips, darling,” Astarion says. “I wonder how it will sound when you’re moaning it.”

    “Little star,” he starts carefully. “My affection for you runs as deep and strong as a river,” Halsin assures him. “But I will not take you to my bed to indulge in your body.”

    Astarion pulls back as if burnt. “I don’t understand you, druid,” he hisses. “Your reputation for sowing wild oats vastly proceeds you, and you claim to have some desires for me, and yet, you turn down an opportunity to do with me what you wish. You have no idea what you’re saying no to, Halsin. The things I’ve been trained to do would blow your mind.”

    (or: now that they're in Baldur's Gate, Halsin just wants to protect Astarion from the people there who want to hurt him. Astarion just wants revenge. And to keep Halsin at arm's length for as long as he can.)

    Summary

    When Astarion awakens in the aftermath of the Nautiloid crash, it is not to a friendly face but the press of goblin steel against his cheek.

    Bears, after all, are not known to be the most gracious killers.

    Summary

    Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.

    Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of permadeath, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
    Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.

    Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.

    Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.

    Two kits, one with thick tears streaming down his face, the other covered in considerably more blood than should belong to his wound.

    He can not help the grin that spreads across his face at the sight of them.

    His freedom is guaranteed.
