Summary
From moment to moment Jane felt their relationship shifting, at one they were best friends and the next something more. It reminded her of those old toys with a bird on one side and its enclosure the other and if you spun it quick enough the two images blurred and merged. As she and Garrus spun on the dance floor, their relationship, in all its aspects, blurred until there was no distinction between the edges of one thing and the other, it was just her and Garrus, together.

Summary
Something other than a giant, alien brain festers in the city of Baldur's Gate. From dead men wandering the sewers, to soulless patriars scheming from their gilded palaces, something vile has taken root to consume all it touches.
To save a city that's deemed them criminals (and to save their own asses), these two losers must cheat, stab, and flirt their way to the heart of the rot and carve it out, piece by festering piece. And figure out what, exactly, they mean to each other.

Summary
It’s been over a year since Eve had to uproot her life and assume a new identity—anything to distance herself from the past she wishes she could forget. When an erratic, if oddly charming, newcomer stumbles into her place of work, she recognizes something familiar within him and the two can’t seem to stay away from each other. But Eve is not the only one running from her past.

Summary
Cazador Szarr did not want a child. He wanted a legacy.
Serah Szarr is raised as heir, experiment, and proof—trained in etiquette and cruelty before she’s old enough to understand either. Through the years, Astarion bears witness from the shadows, caught between horror at what she will become and dread of the day she learns to truly see him.
Astarion has survived centuries by being overlooked.
He isn’t sure he’ll survive being noticed.Bookmarked by nyaredrah

Summary
In the brutal world of the Baldur's Games, 24 tributes are chosen to fight to the death, and only one will survive. Nisha, selected for the 79th Games, has fought to stay alive her entire life—but now she faces a challenge that may very well be her end. Her mentor, Astarion, a charismatic winner of the 69th games, trains her in a brutal strategy: win the audience's favor to secure sponsorship, but show no mercy in the arena. He urges Nisha to eliminate her rivals early, never trust anyone, and never hesitate to kill.
As the Games approach, Nisha struggles with past and present feelings for Astarion, but he seems to have forgotten her. In a world where survival means sacrificing humanity, Nisha must decide if she really can do whatever it takes to survive. Will she outlast the bloodshed, or will the Games consume her—and everything she once was? The clock is ticking, and only one will emerge alive.

Summary
“Do you trust me?” he asks.
That’s a dumb fucking question. “Of course.”
Next thing she knows, she’s being shoved against the nearest wall and Garrus kisses her. A human kiss. His mouth plates are surprisingly flexible and not as rough as she had imagined. She tries not to think about the fact that she has imagined it because she knows damn well that he doesn’t feel that way about her. This is just a distraction. A rouge.
That doesn’t mean she can’t at least let herself enjoy it.

AKA, garrus and shep hook up during an undercover mission, which ends up leading to more than either of them ever could've anticipated (or hoped for)

Summary
Shepard and Garrus are madly in love, but they still haven't said those three very important little words to each other. Meanwhile, Tali, Liara, Traynor, and Vega have all discovered the more than strictly professional relationship between their commander and the Hierarchy's reaper advisor. But they don't know that they know, so of course, what's a crew to do but have a little fun of their own.

Summary
Wyll’s lantern swung closer. Tav could see the gleam of his boots through the underbrush. He was only steps away.
“Do you think he’d be angry, pet?” Astarion mused. “If he found you like this? Would he be heartbroken? Or simply humiliated?”
Of course he wouldn't let her answer. He covered her mouth with one hand, the other pressing her down.
She clenched her jaw, wanting not to tremble beneath him. She should’ve been ashamed. But gods, it was hard to think when Astarion was like this—when he made her feel so alive.
His mouth grazed the back of her shoulder, then up her neck. “Should I bite your scruff while I fuck you in front of your boyfriend? Like a wild beast?”
Astarion thinks seducing her will save him. Only, he isn’t as untouchable as he pretends, and she isn’t as innocent as he thinks—she has secrets sharp enough to cut them both open.

Summary
“Adultery,” Raphael repeats plainly. “Infidelity.”
“Yes.” Astarion tosses his quill down. “It appears that I’ve spent the last few months drinking, fucking, and compelling people of our government. I recall none of it, mind you. But given Lilith’s absence, Halsin insisting that I not be left alone, and Shadowheart desperately praying for my damned soul—I can conclude that I have dragged myself into a bender that has wreaked havoc on my life as I knew it."
A sequel to the events of Hellish Rebuke. This story will not make sense if you have not read its predecessor.

Summary
“Maybe what you really need is a friend, not a lover.”
Astarion’s eyes flutter with surprise. “I-I would like that. I’ve held more people than I can count. An infinite parade of lovers. But a friend?” He pauses on the question and his face becomes crestfallen. “I can’t think of a single one.”
He puts his hand out to Effy, to which she happily accepts.
“Until you,” he says with a smile—that only she’s ever seen.
Ever since that moment the two remained friends and even got an apartment together in the Lower City shortly after defeating the Netherbrain.
It’s been several months since; and Effy is still happily living with her vampire bestie, but Astarion’s been acting different lately…

Master Tera said that nothing ever happened by accident. If he was to be believed, then I should’ve known that my first encounter with Anakin wouldn’t be my last. The Force was clearly at work, but I didn’t know what to think.
After all, what could a person like me possibly have to offer Anakin Skywalker?

Summary
Getting abducted by squids and infected with a Mind Flayer parasite was never part of Visenya’s plan to steal the Annals of Karsus for her client. Yet, as a dhampir with a traumatic past and sanguine hunger, she's no stranger to life chasing you with torches and pitchforks. Fortunately, she finds an unexpected ally in Astarion, who understands the struggle for autonomy and identity and her bloody world.
Join Visenya, Astarion, and the tadfools as they confront the horrors of Faerûn: Dark Urges, cults, and their own inner demons. Amidst the chaos, romance blossoms, friendships are forged, and morals collide in this epic slow-burn tale.
Will Visenya find love, acceptance, and her place in a world that fears her? Or will she succumb to the darkness within? Embark on this journey of adventure, self-discovery, and love as Visenya learns that sometimes, embracing your inner monster is the key to finding where you truly belong.
The title is borrowed from Hozier's song of the same name.
Larian owns everything, including my soul (does that make me a Warlock?…). Any resemblance between this and other works and/or real people is coincidental.
