    a crooked touch (Astarion x m!Tav) by

    Fandom Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

    16 Nov 2024

    Summary

    “Make it hurt, then. Kiss me like you want to kill me.”

    “I can do that.”

    Two broken stars in a decaying orbit, passing closer and closer together until the inevitable, devastating collision.

    Or, Tav is fucked up and down bad for Astarion, who doesn't quite see the appeal (but he's getting there). Sexual frustration, sloppy handjobs, a heavy dose of masochism, and way too many failed Insight checks ahead. Tav falls first, Astarion falls harder (eventually).

    Or, a tragic-but-hopeful romance told through a series of incredibly ill-advised sexual encounters.

    If you want to read a story where Astarion is sweet from the start and Tav is here to fix him, this isn't the one. If you want to read about two terribly broken men spending a good long while making each other worse before they make each other better, this might be for you. If you thought the in-game romance was a little too easy and it should have been ten times more painful and difficult to convince Astarion he's worthy of love, this is definitely for you.

    Set during the canonical events of Baldur's Gate 3.

    Summary

    SPOILERS TO THE DARK URGE STORYLINE IN SUMMARY!

     

    You open your aching burning eyes and they meet pale blue of the pool in the lower level of the Gauntlet of Shar.
    There is a yawn behind you and the set of familiar boots steps beside the bedroll you are sitting on.
    “All right, let’s go kill someone,” Astarion says cheerfully above you. Alive.
    You are back. And you have a day to find a way to keep him this way.

    or

    Withers does weird time-travel magic and returns The Dark Urge back in time so that they can try to save Astarion.

    Astarion's Nice, Simple Plan That Fell Apart by

    Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

    Summary

    Astarion had a plan. A nice, simple plan: seduce Tav, sleep with her, manipulate her feelings so she'd never turn on him.

    All she had to do was fall for it.
    And all he had to do was not fall for her.

    Which is where his nice, simple plan fell apart.

    - - -
    Exploring Astarion's POV throughout the game while romancing Dark Urge/Tav. Canon is followed in most cases, including with lines of dialogue from the game, but Act 2 and 3 break off from canon a few times in fun ways.

    Content warnings are listed ahead of the more intense chapters. Overall this fic (like the game) explores what healing from abuse looks like and has a lot of references to those themes.
