Summary
Astarion wants the sun. He wants to bask in the light of dawn, unafraid and unharmed; let it kiss him and not burn; let its light be his private joy, not his fear. How exhausting it is, to be afraid of something he loves so desperately.
It turns out the feeling is mutual.
Astarion's quest to see the sun again triggers multiple religious (and romantic) crises.
~
Note on romantic content (setting expectations): Bloodweave takes center-stage in terms of screen time, and the Astarion/Lathander relationship tag is the stage the boys are struggling to survive on. Shadowheart often mediates everyone's experience with love and the gods, for better or worse.

Summary
In which the Dark Urge falls in love, for the second time of his life. And while it is true that for most people, love stories end in tragedy, he is not most people. He is Bhaal's Chosen. And this makes the ending so, so much worse.
"An apple for your horse?" the human woman had asked with a cheeky look to her dark brown eyes, looking up at him with a basket full of fruits propped on one hip.
He had seen her cross the clearing surrounding her house from afar, walking up the path that meandered through trees turned yellow by the arrival of autumn. The internal debate of whether or not he should turn around to not have to speak to her had proved fruitless, and he had stopped walking only when she had accosted him, River halting at his side.
"I believe this is how sad fairytales begin," he'd answered in kind. "Tell me, which ones are poisoned?"
She might have been a spy, after all. A clumsy assassin, believing a simple mortal hand could ever be the end of him. If only. But her laughter had been an unexpected thing, and he'd found himself smiling at her.
She'd winked at him. "Wouldn't it ruin the story, if I told you?"Series

Summary
Rhune needed his help; it was clear that he’d been in significant distress, and the fact that he’d fallen over unconscious with no obvious outside influence was extremely troubling.
And if Gale acted quickly, there would be no danger of anyone being murdered tonight.
Mind made up, Gale stuck his head out of the flap of his tent while he pulled on his shoes, and called out, “Whoever’s awake and on watch right now, please, hurry, I need some help.”

Summary
A comprehensive tour through a typical service at Baldur's Gate United Church of Bhaal, complete with fully formatted bulletin and order of service! Watch in awe as The Dark Urge, Scion of Bhaal Most Unholy, gives a complete sermon justifying ritual human (dwarven) sacrifice without saying the word 'murder' once!
My ex-fundie trauma did something useful for once and let the Unholy Ghost of Murder Jesus take the wheel. Reviewed by my editor as "violently evangelical." Come for the crack, stay for the witty social commentary on modern organized religion.
The second chapter is a continuation of the tale giving readers a closer look into the administrative side of Baldur's Gate's most murderous church.

Summary
Astarion should have died that night. In the story we know he did exactly that. Here, things went a little differently and he is very much alive.
However, healing magic has its limitations, and the Astarion who survived is markedly different from the one that fell to the Gur's clubs.
A month into recovery, he's still coming to terms with his loss of independence. Bedbound, partially mute, and being cared for by the same person who saved him in the first place: his mother. Apparently her adventuring days didn't fully end, even after decades of playing at being a proper Upper City wife.
Even worse, soon his beloved father decides caring for Astarion is a waste of time and resources, and tries to convince his mother to send him to... somewhere, anywhere, else.
It's amazing, what you start to notice when you're forced to stop and pay attention to people not named Astarion. So many aspects of his world and family, he now sees all too clearly. Out of the one eye that still works, anyway.

Summary
What happens when you shove a washed-up smuggler in a car with someone half his age who thinks she's cleverer than everyone else?
Well, nothing good - but here we are.
2016. Politicians are screaming about sovereignty. Bankers are shitting themselves over market forecasts. The real players are eyeing something more practical - because the routes that carried everything from heroin to gold for decades? Suddenly questionable. Time to carve new ones before the borders slam shut.
Amsterdam to Dover. That's the plan, anyway. A road trip through Belgium's grey zones, France's forgotten corners, every dodgy café and cheaper-than-it-should-be hotel between here and the Channel.
The job's simple. The company's complicated.

Forgive me, Father (for I will sin) by dramatic_chipmunk for ARAFEL_0194
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
10 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
"Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned," Daisy says, and means approximately none of it.
Astarion, in scratchy linen robes he is already regretting, is a consummate professional. He will hold this persona. He will not be derailed by a confessional box, a very small dark space, and Daisy saying extremely specific things in a very low voice.
He is, unfortunately, only two of those things.
Or: two degenerates roleplay in a temple of Illmater, desecrate a confessional, and then accidentally stay for the service. It gets worse from there. Somehow they have a lovely time.

Summary
“It might’ve been a convenience if Gale died. One less thing to worry about that wasn’t himself, one less person who knew his deepest secrets and fears. And it would cement his two century-long streak of everyone he’d ever had sex with dying shortly afterwards, a statistic that whichever poor fool who wrote his posthumous biography could at least laugh at for a little while. But Gale hadn’t died; hadn’t taken the easy, heroic, self-sacrificial way out.”
Or, Astarion and Gale discuss their troubled relationship in the wake of Ketheric’s death.

What if a younger less murdery Durge bathes the handsome upstart Enver Gortash, and, dare I say, makes him a better man?
Before the betrayal at Avernus. Before the resurrection of Bhaal. A canon-bending story that attempts to rewrite fate.
