There’s something wrong with the druid by HermeticPrinciples for ashamedbliss

Summary
A “renowned healer,” the others in the Emerald Grove called him. Astarion didn’t really understand what that meant at first because Halsin’s healing magic honestly isn’t that much more impressive than a cleric’s. Now, he gets it. Everything the druid does is calculated, intentional, and all done for the benefit of others. It’s subtle, too—done with the stealth of a seasoned rogue…
And no one notices—except for Astarion; he notices because in his world such a thing is quite out of place—nothing like it was ever allowed to take root in the master’s palace; Halsin’s kindness is as radiant as the Morninglord’s monastery and just as deadly to ancient darkness.
Astarion isn’t the only beast in camp. Halsin is a werebear and guardian of nature. Astarion is a product of the Shadowfell’s darkness. They form an uneasy truce but later, in their similarities as well as their differences, find love and understanding, too.
Or: where Halsin also needs support and Astarion is the unlikely answer.

Summary
***This work was previously posted and accidentally deleted because I'm a dumdum lollipop! If you were reading this before, I am so sorry, I'm reposting the whole thing! Ahhheeemmm best Rose freezing in the atlantic after the Titanic sank voice: come back!***
Now that he's free of him, Astarion will do whatever he has to in order to stay out of Cazador's grasp. Even if that means letting one of his new companion's get their filthy hands on him. It's an all too familiar charade that he'll have to perform if he wants to convince one of these saps to take a bit, but he doesn't expect the druid to be the one to take the bait. And he certainly doesn't expect the man Halsin turns out to be, or that Astarion will end up falling for him, and hurting them both in the process.

Summary
“Astarion…” Halsin murmurs, low and careful.
“Oh, but I do love the way my name sounds on your lips, darling,” Astarion says. “I wonder how it will sound when you’re moaning it.”
“Little star,” he starts carefully. “My affection for you runs as deep and strong as a river,” Halsin assures him. “But I will not take you to my bed to indulge in your body.”
Astarion pulls back as if burnt. “I don’t understand you, druid,” he hisses. “Your reputation for sowing wild oats vastly proceeds you, and you claim to have some desires for me, and yet, you turn down an opportunity to do with me what you wish. You have no idea what you’re saying no to, Halsin. The things I’ve been trained to do would blow your mind.”
(or: now that they're in Baldur's Gate, Halsin just wants to protect Astarion from the people there who want to hurt him. Astarion just wants revenge. And to keep Halsin at arm's length for as long as he can.)

Summary
I always thought it was silly that Karlach sat at the river WAITING for the party to find her-- so I always imagined that she actually did a bunch of shit before running into them.
This short fic is going to follow Karlach in her first few days back in Faerun. So if you ever thought the same and want to see what (in my head) she would do upon escaping Avernus, give this a read!
-----
This fic is a companion piece to my main longfic "I've Got You" and will end at the point where Karlach first appears in the main fic.- Language:

Summary
Five years have passed since the confrontation with the Netherbrain. Astarion and his warlock lover, Asmodea, are living large in Baldur’s Gate, running a cabaret. Their life of decadence and debauchery seems idyllic, until Asmodea’s patron disrupts it with a proposal. One that seems too good to be true. One they cannot refuse.
