    Summary

    Hans wanted nothing more than to grab him, hold him, keep him close until the Praguers broke the walls down and took them both into Hell together. He wanted Henry’s face in his hands, to feel his pulse beneath his fingers whilst the man was still alive.
    The thought did nothing but scare him into simply watching Henry go.

    The words in his chest went unsaid, even to himself.

    Perhaps that’s how God intended it to be.

    or: hans never confessed at suchdol, and now finds himself torn between his responsibilities to rattay and jitka, and the way his heart beats solely for henry.

    (…a lot of yearning and sleepless nights ensue)

    Summary

    “Henry! Do you doubt my bedroom prowess?”

    His page set him with a withered look, though his eyes dropped down Hans’ body quicker than the snap of a branch; skimming the outline of him through his attire, peeking at the bottom of his pourpoint as if to assess his claim. Hans let his legs open a little wider; confident, smug. Henry blinked and brought his gaze back up in an instant, cheeks a faint shade of pink.

    “I think you exaggerate.”

    or: hans learns henry is inexperienced. hans considers himself something of a sexpert. cue a very involved and highly heterosexual discussion of intimacy.
    intimacy with a girl.
    obviously.

    Summary

    Henry playfully wrestles him to the ground, and their laughter shakes the trees. This is what life ought to be: easy and sweet and without any past or future. The rest of the world can hang for all Hans cares; all he wants is to make Henry laugh, and to turn him every shade of red possible.

    “Shut up or I'll fill you up,” Henry threatens. “I’ll get a strong son on you.”

    Something flutters in Hans’s chest. “I'm not a fucking maid, Henry.” He struggles a little more, just for show, and Henry pins his hands above his head.

    “Could be,” Henry counters, grinning. “My maid, my girl, the way you take me.”

    -

    In which Henry helps Hans forget about his upcoming nuptials, a wedding night is shared, and Hans yearns to become something other than what he is.

    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

    Theirs is a love written in sunlight and river water, blood and sweat, salvation and ruin. It brought a dead heart back to life; it called a lost soul back from the void. It gave two broken men something to fight for.

    This is how it ends.

    Astarion x m!Tav. The multi-chapter conclusion to “a crooked touch.”
