Summary
The world is saved, and everything is fine. Mostly. Just a few loose ends remain: a broken infernal engine, thousands of hungry spawn, a stalking eldritch horror, and the nightmare of emotional vulnerability. That’s probably all though.
What could go wrong?
This is a continuation of Rin and Astarion’s story from After the Fall.

Summary
After years of careful planning and preparation, Astarion and Imara finally take control of the city of Skullport. At last, their dreams of providing a safe haven for the vampires under their care is within reach, but securing an alliance with the City of Splendors proves to be much more complicated than they'd anticipated. Soon they find themselves drawn into the mire of Waterdhavian politics, where enemies and betrayal lie in wait around every corner.
In the face of political machinations, a mountain filled with horrors, and revelations big and small, they must stay true to themselves—and their love—in order to finally enjoy the life of peace and happiness they've worked so hard to build.
There are alliances to make, enemies to eliminate, monsters to kill, and battles to be won, but they have each longed to deepen their relationship in one very particular way, and though the timing has never been quite right, they're both beginning to wonder if the wrong time may actually be the perfect time...

Summary
"She's a whore!"
He'd never appeared so loathsome before the emperor in all his years. "She's to be my wife-give her due respect. This is not up for debate or discussion, you said so yourself."
"Due respect?" A heavy, disappointed sigh filled the room- Zui always did have a talent for making the emperor pinch the bridge of his noes. "If you truly think that lowly woman is fit to be wed into the imperial family then I, too, must call into question your sanity. Simply because she wet your virgin prick does not mean you must surrender yourself and our country to her for all eternity."
"If loving her, devoting myself to her, cherishing her above all else is insanity then call me a madman- call me the maddest of them all."
"So make her a consort, sure, and visit her each night-but a wife?"
"I'd make her empress if that's what she desired."

Summary
Throughout the years, the moon prince would send her gifts she wouldn’t be able to procure on her own. Most were rare medicinal items from completed requests. Some, she received out of nowhere. And sometimes, he’d send her incense. Not too expensive though—she’d reproach him for that.
So when a wandering merchant told the moon prince of an incense called “To Be Closest to the One You Desire,” he immediately thought of her. The name sounded poetic. The merchant didn’t want money—only something of value to the moon prince. Skeptical, he obliged.
He sent the incense to the apothecary as a casual thank-you. And that’s when it started.
He began hearing her thoughts—the ones not meant to be said aloud.
Thoughts that left him reeling.
Confounded.
And maybe… wanting more.Or: the JinMao fic where Jinshi starts hearing Maomao’s internal monologues, and absolutely cannot handle it.

"I don't want you to touch me," he began, and her eyes widened at his request. "But I want to touch you. I want you to show me exactly what feels good for you, and I don't want you to fake it. If I do anything that isn't going to bring you to your release, I want to know. And if I make you come tonight, it will be real. Any cry that falls from your lips will be genuine, and I will know if it's not."
"You... just want to please me?"
"Yes," he agreed. "I just want to please you.

When Talia left the Underdark, she had many expectations of what the surface would bring. Making her living in a brothel wasn't one of them—but the coin is steady, the clients are predictable, and she keeps her emotions out of her work.
And then a pale elf walks in, uninterested and intriguing.
The first night? They only talk.
The second? He asks her for something no client ever has: honesty.
As their meetings grow more frequent, keeping her emotions out of her work becomes harder than she ever imagined.
And when she stumbles upon a darker side of him, she's left with two questions:
Should she let him go?
Does she even want to?

Summary
“I love Tavitha,” Gale went on. “More than anything. And I know she loves me.” A pause. “But I also know… she doesn’t sound the way she did with you.”
Astarion blinked. Then, a smirk, crooked and knowing. “Ah. I see.”
“You pleased her. In ways I haven’t. And I want to learn. I’m a scholar,” Gale said. “I’ve spent my life in pursuit of knowledge. Why should this be any different?”
“You want me to teach you how to fuck your girlfriend,” Astarion said flatly.
“To please her,” Gale corrected. “To understand her. If that means watching you two… then yes. Teach me.”

Summary
On a quest through Faerûn to retrieve a legendary Sunlight Amulet that could grant Astarion the freedom to walk in daylight, Gale, Halsin, and Astarion stumble upon more than they expected—Shanay, a scarred and silent survivor taken by orcs and left deeply wounded in body and soul. As they fight to protect and heal her, something unexpected blooms between them all. Love, in many forms, binds their fates together as they descend into the Underdark to face shadows both literal and personal. But when they finally reach the amulet, its light forces a choice that could change everything.
A tender, sensual, and emotionally rich tale of polyamory, trauma recovery, found family, and the aching, beautiful cost of freedom.Bookmarked by Sinningway

Summary
Tav and her companions survived the Elder Brain. They saved the city. She said her goodbyes and chose the world over herself.
Now, in the silence that follows, she’s becoming something else.
Bitten on the road to Baldur’s Gate, Tav’s transformation was delayed by the tadpole. But with the brain destroyed (and the tadpole with it) there’s nothing left to hold the change back.
As the hunger rises and her old life fades, Astarion brings her to a forgotten manor on the city’s edge. He knows what this costs. He knows what it takes to survive it and how to stay whole through the unraveling.
This is a story about learning control after losing everything. About choosing to live, even when you no longer recognize yourself. And about the love that doesn’t flinch when you do.

When Astarion enters the library and spots Gale, whose gaze in turn falls on him, the underlying tension between them is immediately apparent. One that lingers for both of them long after Astarion leaves.
Gale finds himself aching for the elf's touch, hot and bothered under his watchful gaze. When he attempts to steer clear of the elf in an effort to calm himself, Astarion finds him and offers to assist in his hour of need.

Complete as of September 21, 2025! ❤️
Astarion straightened, a half grin on his lips now.
“Yes, I would assume you don’t usually make a habit of leaping into the muck at the slightest provocation, though your outfit says otherwise.”
He reached a hand toward her, palm up, offering to assist her out of the creek. Jen stared at it for a moment, half of her wanting to step forward and touch it, to verify its existence. The other half knew damn well that such an action would be a deadly folly.
“I think I’ll stay in the creek, thanks.”
She saw him stiffen, his gaze sharpening before he sneered his question at her.
“I’m sorry, do I know you?”
“Nope,” she responded, probably too nonchalantly. “But I know who you are. What I don’t know is how the hell you’re here.”
Set about a century after the events of Baldur’s Gate 3 and the fall of the Elder Brain, follow Astarion as he figures out how the hells to navigate this new plane he’s stumbled into with the help of his weird little guide. With any luck, between the two of them, they’ll be able to complete the quest he originally set out on.

Summary
He was supposed to use you. Feed, manipulate, survive. But when the bite turns intoxicating—for both of you—the lines between pleasure, power, and trust begin to blur. He thought he lost himself and you want to lose yourself in him, but the initial insatiable lust grows into something much bigger.
“Yes, yes. You saved me – now let me help you” you get up tugging on his hand.
“Stubborn little thing, aren’t you?” he grunts but gets up with you “One might think you’re the one starving here” he adds with a seductive smile.
“Just be quiet” you pull him closer as you lean back onto a stone plated cabinet.
He stares into your eyes for a long moment, then finally gives in.
He moves slowly this time. Carefully. One hand brushes your hair back, fingers lingering at your jaw. The other steadies your shoulder as he leans in. When his lips graze your skin, it’s not like before. There’s no rush. No frenzy. Just cold breath. His mouth carefully clasps your neck and he lingers there for a while- silent, still.

Summary
Astarion, a vampire spawn shackled by the merciless will of his master, prowls the shadows of Baldur’s Gate, a city still reeling from the destruction of the Nether Brain. His existence is one of survival, manipulation, and servitude—until a fateful encounter with Tav, the hero celebrated as the "Brain Breaker."
Tav, a tiefling with a sharp tongue and an unyielding sense of justice, should be nothing more than Astarion’s next pawn. But when his plan to deliver her into his master’s hands goes catastrophically wrong, Tav does the unthinkable: she spares him. Now bound to her by tenuous trust and mutual necessity, Astarion is thrust into the company of Tav’s eccentric companions and forced to confront the humanity he’s long denied.
But freedom comes with a cost. With Cazador’s wrath looming and the weight of his dark past threatening to crush him, Astarion must decide what kind of monster he truly wants to be. As the group battles enemies both external and internal, Tav and Astarion find themselves drawn together in ways neither anticipated.
In a world where power is survival and kindness is a gamble, can redemption be more than just a dream?

Summary
The main story takes place after the destruction of the Netherbrain at the end of the game, several years after the epilogue party. All the main characters are alive, and are living in versions of their “good” endings, which are explained in more detail in the first chapter. If you wish to avoid any game spoilers, then please do not read this. This fan fiction assumes you have played the game entirely and are familiar with Gale’s romance arc during a “good” run.
I myself have around 1000 hours in the game, thanks to a period of time where I couldn’t drive anywhere and I was unemployed, so hopefully the lore is accurate to ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ and also the Dungeons and Dragons universe as a whole. Some of the dialogue is taken out from the game itself, but only in the aid of building an idea of Tav and Gale’s romance before the main story starts.
I’ve never written a fan fiction before, so I hope this is okay. I mainly wrote it out of love for the characters, the game itself, and romance as a whole.
Any constructuve criticisms are welcome; I would love for my writing to (hopefully) improve.Bookmarked by Sinningway

But Gale’s never been good at lying, not even to himself.

Summary
"I don't think our queen wants your control, Kieran. I think she wants you to fucking lose it," Cas said in a harsh, rumbling tone.
Kieran’s eyes were wide and blue when they flew over her shoulder, where she was sure Casteel was using everything short of compulsion to his benefit, no doubt with a fanged, wicked grin. The wolven tried once more to steady himself, shaking slightly with the effort.
"Kieran," she said, some sense coming back to her for a moment. She met his eyes then, too. "Stop holding back."
His grip strained the fragile fabric of the straps as he suddenly aligned his entire body to hers, his front against hers, her breasts pillowed against the strength of his chest, his legs tucked into the gap between hers. "You sure you're ready? You'd better be honest Poppy," he demanded, suddenly seeming wilder, to her delight.
"Yes," she nearly begged. "Come on, Kieran-"
"You gonna let me touch you? I heard," he practically sang the words, lowly in her ear. "That your pussy tastes like honeydew."
