Guess it's time for one of these!

Hello all, I'm Delta. I have a variety of usernames, but usually involve some form of delta-lethonomia or deltaparapraxis, so Delta is fine. You're probably here for my bg3 or RE9 fics.

Tavortheylinith {Series on AO3, everything expands around For All the Wrong Reasons}

For All The Wrong Reasons [#wrong reasons fic] {Tav x Astarion} -> Tav is a survivor of abuse and became worse for it, going down a Cazador-like route. Astarion's emotional development takes another path. Lots of femdom, dom/sub stuff, themes of exploiting emotional vulnerability, mimicking past abuse, depression and anxiety, control issues, and only being valued if you're a "good" person or do what is expected of you ;)

Podfic [Soundcloud playlist link] (maybe save this link if you're interested in the podfic as I don't think soundcloud will send notifications as I've got the tracks set to private) Art Commisioned from Jenofthefar

Stinging Nettle Wine [#fic: stinging nettle wine] {Astarion x Tav x Dalyria} -> post FATWR AU, Dalyria comes to ruin Tav & Astarion's domestic bliss. Toxic Sibling Relationships, themes of returning to the closest thing to "home" that still exists, even if it's the wrong choice others will shun you for, and the consequences of absolute control [Meta analysis post, 7.5k, contains spoilers]

It used to be a butcher shop [#fic: it used to be a butcher shop] {modern coffeshop au!Tav x Astarion} -> anal hooks in the walk-in. An exploration of how tf Tavortheylinith and Astarion would still end up in a strange relationship in modern day.

Other fics and oneshots (BG3)

The Age of Authenticity [#fic: the age of authenticity] {Gith!Durge!V'dek x Shadowheart} -> non-con, dead dove, themes of betrayal and failed insight and religion checks and really, really horrible, honestly

Etch {mild Astarion x Cazador} -> Cazador experiences all the abusive parent feelings for Astarion, whom has nonetheless grown to be someone outside of his shadow. You can safely assume Astarion develops a dacryphilia kink out of it.

Not BG3

Dividends [#fic: Dividends][Rogue Trader] {f!Rogue Trader x Marazhai} -> iconoclast aristocrat Laurenzia von Valencius rationalizes her relationship with Marazhai. Sub! Marazhai, a throwaway line about sewing his mouth shut comes into fruition

Astarion with the drow twins

Love it! Fun little pairing. Doesn’t grip me as hard as kennecroft or aeon, but still super fun.

i got impatient. don't kill me

i've definitely seen some fics that clearly use AI, but frankly I'm not gonna waste time stressing over it. People choosing to use AI to write fanfic of all things are already depriving themselves of the joy of developing and refining a skillset & hobby that makes life better - it's like choosing to subsist off of margarine when the good butter is right there. The only people they're hurting are themselves.

I mean he’s cheating on his wife 🤷‍♀️ and he’s definitely not being fully honest about Ada’s disappearing act. But uhhh…..he’s done something recently… that’s already hinted at… that he really gets to feel bad about hehehe
