I like my men fictional

multi-chapter fics

I will not ask and neither should you (a modern AU, ongoing, 164k, 24 chapters)

an alternative, modern take on the Dark Urge x Astarion romance, where these two are both trying to escape their past and, as fate would have it, end up in the same small town. lots of friendship, healing, secrets, and ABBA

chapter 1 🔸 chapter 2 🔸 chapter 3 🔸 chapter 4 🔸 chapter 5 🔸 chapter 6 🔸 chapter 7 🔸 chapter 8 🔸 chapter 9 🔸 chapter 10 🔸 chapter 11 🔸 chapter 12 🔸 chapter 13 🔸 chapter 14 🔸 chapter 15 🔸 chapter 16 🔸 chapter 17 🔸 chapter 18 🔸 chapter 19 🔸 chapter 20 🔸 chapter 21 🔸 chapter 22 🔸 chapter 23 🔸 chapter 24

the blood on my hands (scares me to death) (set in act 3, complete, 21k, 3 chapters)

starts immediately after the duel with Orin and takes place over three nights, exploring Eve's emotional turmoil after rejecting Bhaal and what that all means for her and Astarion's future. lots of angst, fluff, comfort, and some smut as a treat

the light we shut out (set post-canon, currently on pause, 44k, 7 chapters)

all about Eve and Astarion figuring out how to live a semi-normal life after the events of the game. domestic fluff, comfort, very little conflict, I'm just writing a happy ending for these two idiots

one-shots

eyes on the target, darling – tumblr · ao3 (set in a modern hitman AU, 2.2k)

a deeply unserious smut fic about Eve and Astarion getting horny while on a job together (the job is assassinating Gortash)

come along with me (and put your mind at ease) – tumblr · ao3 (set in act 1, 11k)

an exploration of Eve and Astarion's act 1 dynamic, from the first time he propositions her, up to the tiefling party. includes some durge-related angst and lots of banter

what a wicked thing to do (to make me dream of you) (set in act 2, 8.6k)

a reimagining of Astarion's confession and what led to it (alternating POVs, tonsssss of pining, a personal favorite)

she's an undiscovered element (either born in hell or heaven-sent) (set in act 2, 4.2k)

Astarion's POV of the night the Urge tells Eve to kill him (which I wrote mainly to celebrate how much of a ride or die Astarion is for Durge)

could barely tear my eyes away (set in act 3, 3.2k)

the gang hangs out at the Circus of The Last Days and Lae'zel finds a way to show Astarion what he looks like (of course she can't have people know she actually cares, so she delegates it to Eve.) lots of friendly banter, fluff, and comfort

tastes like she might be the one – tumblr · ao3 (set post-canon, 5.3k)

this one is my foray into the beautiful world of smut one-shots. now that Eve has settled down and her body is no longer in Mortal Peril Mode™ every single day, she just got her period for the first time since she's known Astarion and um... he is losing his mind a little

fall into your eyes like a grave (set pre-canon, 4.7k)

a re-telling of the night Astarion met the “darling boy” he couldn’t bear to bring back to Cazador, and the punishment that followed. an exploration of his darkest moments that, as hard as it was to write, made me appreciate the comfort and happiness he eventually finds that much more
