Summary
It had not even been a full day and somehow Rhuun had seen more in the past hours than he had in the entirety of his life. Squid people, a brain with legs, a green lady with no nose, literal devils… He was reeling, even as he unceremoniously flopped beside the fire.
Suffering in silence was easier said than done. Especially when a certain vampire was extraordinarily persistant in his desire to share Rhuun’s company. What starts as a tentative truce grows far beyond what either of them expected.
Or-
A retelling of Act 1 (up to the tiefling party) of Baldur’s Gate 3 with my spin on things according to my tav, Rhuun. Mostly a fill-in-the-blanks situation. I try not to rewrite all the stuff we already know unless it’s different for a purpose.

Summary
“Rhuun. Rhuun, my darling. Rhuun. Come on now, love, wake up. Wake up, please.”
Rhuun snapped his eyes open, expecting to see the manufactured darkness of the spell, only to instead stare straight into rich, red eyes. Eyes that were darker than the brothers’. Eyes with tiny gold flecks near the centers.
“Astarion,“ He gasped, reaching out to him instinctively. “Astarion-“
“I’m here, love. It was a dream. You’re awake now.” Rhuun threw his arms around his partner’s neck, Astarion gathering him to his chest with a soft kiss to his temple. “I’m here.”
OR: The party goes to the underdark. Angst, fluff, and plot ensue

Summary
“Is it real? Is any of this real? How do I know? How can I tell?”
“Star, what-“
“I can’t trance. I can’t trance because all I see is that stone tomb and when I wake all I see is the same darkness. How do I know which one is real? How do I know I’m not trancing now and the moments in the sarcophagus are the waking ones? What if I’m still in there, still trapped-“
“You’re not. You’re out-“
“How do I know?!"
Or, in the midst of the Shadowcursed Lands, Astarion looses his grip on reality - Rhuun helps him get it back.
