Every time I make love in your shape, you will know.
There are two mistakes you regret more than anything. One, helping Astarion complete the ritual that changed him into someone you no longer recognize. Two, giving your body away to an incubus, an eternal pact from which you can never break free.
Haarlep has begun to take your form almost every night, making it impossible to forget your pact, impossible to forget the nights you shared with the man you once loved, all while a stranger ravishes you from beyond.
Only it isnāt a stranger at all.

Coming Eventually:
Croquis: a post-game Spawn Astarion x Reader oneshot part of A Fitting Romance series
A Lesson in Embroidery: another post-game Spawn Astarion x Reader oneshot part of A Fitting Romance series
Hi all! I'm still alive here! It's been a busy summer for me so far; sadly, it's mostly been the 'working way too much' kind of busy, but the next month or so will be a more fun kind of busy! I'll be going on a trip with my hubby and then later spending a bit of time in my hometown with my family.
I haven't been very active here and I haven't had nearly as much time for reading and writing as I'd like (oh all the things I could do if I didn't have to work...), but the interest is always there! Miss you and love you all! ā¤ļø
I'll admit I've been pretty blah for the past few weeks. I guess this is how I share that? I hope I'm coming out of it though. I have nothing really to point to except changing seasons and getting used to new meds (I had vertigo and migranes in March that were eventually treated with a low dose anti-depressant that's used for controlling headaches. it worked, but it may have tweaked my motivation/mood somewhat. here's hoping I can push through it alright.)
What are you currently working on?
I have a few things:
Most importantly: the Oathbreaker Hotfix. I'm steadily chipping away at it, and I'm nearly done with Chapter 10. My motivation tanked a bit for the month of April but I'm hoping May will be better. On top of that, my beta reader has been sick for a few weeks which may have contributed to my lack of motivation (I don't want to push her, she feels bad for falling behind, I told her don't worry about it it's not a job and I'm just so thrilled she's reading my stuff, etc. etc. it's an ouroboros of guilt we're both too polite to talk about.)
half-finished Oathbreaker One-Shot that takes place in the Emerald Grove. I always regretted not adding a chapter there when I was originally writing the story, but I was in such a godsdamned hurry to get to Act 2 I skimmed over a LOT of good stuff. Every chapter I've edited so far I've added in scenes that I wish I'd written the first time, so they end up at least 1k longer than they used to be. Oh well, so much for just editing style and grammar.
partially written Oathbreaker One-Shot that takes place post-endgame but pre-epilogue. That WILL get written, when I have the time, cause it's gonna be adorable.
a handful of bare bones Oathbreaker One-Shots that may never get finished
I still need to finish the last chapter of Figured You Out. The problem is, I'm ace and I've been in a bit of a low-interest phase for a WHILE when it comes to sex. I've tried, believe me. I'm even editing Oathbreaker smut right now, but it's more just fixing mistakes and adding detail. One day it'll happen. (Another problem is the work is titled by a Nickleback song that I really do like (and still do), but I no longer like the band very much. I kinda want to rename the entire work because of it; I don't know if I will, but it feels gross using a title from a song from a band that played at a concert for the orange potato down south, so...ick. I'll circle back to that one at some point.
Your latest VP
(I'm not sure what VP is but I'm going to assume something to do with art)
I'm not much of an artist except with words. I do have lots of pretty screenshots from BG3 I can't take credit for except for good timing with the F12 key.
Instead I'll say here's my most recent Videogame Picture ;)
I've been playing a lot of nintendo lately, going through a bit of a nostalgia trip. First it was Ocarina of Time, and now I'm currently trying to beat the 9th dungeon of The Legend of Zelda (nes). Just gotta get through the hardest part of the game, that's all ;)
Your latest writing
Here's a snip of an added scene to the chapter I'm currently editing. It takes place The Morning After that ended a bit weird between Morwen and Astarion.
What's your next project?
What, that's not enough?? :D offline, I want to get my apartment cleaned up and decluttered. It's something I've wanted to do for years but never had the motivation to do, but I did start it before I got sick in March, so now I HAVE to keep going. Also, need to loose weight, I have reached my tolerable limit and it's time to actually pay attention to my weight again I suppose. Eat more fibre and less junk for my stupid physical health or something. Maybe go outside and touch grass, or join a gym that has a pool so I can do the one physical activity I enjoy, idk.
aaaa that was long! If you made it this far, you must really like me <3

My biggest WIP that I am hard at work on is an original novel I intend to start querying next year in the hopes of getting traditionally published.
It's an urban romantasy with a murder mystery subplot, featuring a female main character who is a 52 year old masc straight woman living in a rural midwestern town. The story revolves around her niece, whom she's raised since she was a teenager, who goes missing under mysterious circumstances, and how she discovers a new lease on life while falling in love despite herself, with a stranger who isn't what he seems.
Anyone on here who has been down the publishing road and wants to share any tips, or anyone who is in the same rabbit warren, I'd love to chat about it with you! I am very much coming to this with such limited information, other than a love of the game and vague internet research.
In the fanfic world:
I'm back to posting updates weekly to Threadbare, my BG3 massively canon-divergent main story novelization. At the current rate, this story will be finished sometime in late 2027. Yeah, guys, the current outline is taking us to 600,000 words. At minimum.
more below
A Striking Resemblance has just two chapters left, one of which is in beta. I fully expect to have this story complete by June.
AND.... the sequel is almost half-written. It's a co-authored work, a crossover between the absolutely fabulous AU of Bananafish in Special Agent, Rick Henry, FBI by Wings_and_Feet. We'll follow Astarion and Octavia as they figure out how to be in a relationship and try to plan their wedding, all while having a team of FBI agents led by Ash Lynx up in their business after Astarion is targeted by an international assassin he personally trained - Mariposa, the Butterfly of Andalusia.
In addition, new material is coming for:
In Memoriam - a post-canon fic following a resist Durge who is forcefully recruited by a very dark God Gale after Astarion breaks up with her when she refused to help him ascend.
Unbidden and Ill-begot - Durge and Astarion's abandoned at birth daughter, cursed to be both a bhaalspawn and a dhampir, falls in love with a very old Gale, neither of them knowing their connection to each other.
AND....
Unpublished WIPS are also getting work
The Devil's Roommate, a crossover where Astarion is isekai'd into the Lucifer (TV) universe, is another co-authored fic. It is getting some work and hopefully might get published this year.
Thank You for Being a Fiend, my long-struggled over crossover where Asarion is isekai'd into freedom, to find himself on an iconic lanai where he meets none other than Rose Nylund (the Golden Girls).
And a brand new dark romance is in the works. A post-canon tale of a Tav abandoned by Gale, and an Ascended Astarion who fell in love despite never even romancing her, and is determined for her to figure out she's in love with him, too, before he admits it.
tagging some amazing people to see what they are up to
@missfortunetherogue @alwaysmauria @hermetic-principles and of course, anyone else, share! I love seeing what everyone is up to.
Wow, it's been a hot minute since I shared anything about my writing here! I haven't posted any wips at all since *checks notes* last year. I've spent too much of this year either (1) working and miserable about; or (2) sick and miserable about it (seriously, it wasn't long ago I was sick for three weeks and strep throat accounted for at least part of it!)
BUT I've been feeling more inspired now than I have been in a long time. @goodgirlgonebard tagged me for this ages ago and I thought it would be a great way to jump back into things!
I also want to thank @larvatuss, @vividiana, @mellybaggins, @hellethil, @loserscardigan, @chaushaus and @cinder-rellish181 who tagged me for various wip games over the couple of months or so. No pressure-tagging you all for this if you're interested! š
Anyway, enough rambling from me, so here we go:
What are you currently working on?
A Fitting Romance: Croquis: the first addition to this series (not counting A Fitting Reunion itself). Probably the smuttiest one? The word croquis in the title means both (1) a sketch of a model figure used for fashion design and (2) a nude sketch, so that might give you a bit of a hint where this is going! š
let me kiss those poisoned lips: a take on the act one Astarion romance scene and inspired by this song. First half here!
Once Upon a Reverie: my AA x reincarnated Tav fic! I've gone back and forth on how much to prewrite, but I do think I'll at least post another 2-3 chapters comparatively early when they're ready, and this will include a proper introduction to Astarion (actually, improper might be a better word as you'll see eventually š). Only a small taste of this fic out so far here.
Your latest vp
I haven't really done much vp aside from a series of shots I took to use for my fic posts here and Tumblr! But for fun, here's one previously unposted photo (I love the epilogue hug):
Your latest writing
Not the very latest writing, but here's a small snip from Croquis:
What's your next project?
Given how long it's taken me to get back to writing, this might be overambitious! But I do really hope I'll get around to all these ideas!
unnamed spawn Astarion longfic: I won't give away too much yet, but let's just say it should be a fun, light read that is a tribute to a lot of romance novel and fanfic tropes!
A Fitting Romance: I'd love to reach a total of 5 shortfics for this series (including A Fitting Reunion and Croquis)
the catastrophe that is us: a post-breakup AA x Tav getting back together one-shot based on this song.
If anyone who sees this would like to participate, consider yourself tagged!

summary: Itās been over a year since Eve had to uproot her life and assume a new identityāanything to distance herself from the past she wishes she could forget. When an erratic, if oddly charming, newcomer stumbles into her place of work, she recognizes something familiar within him and the two canāt seem to stay away from each other. But Eve is not the only one running from her past.
An alternative, modern take on the Dark Urge x Astarion romance, filled with friendship, secrets, healing, and ABBA.
previous chapter Ā· read on AO3 Ā· dividers
Eve stirs awake, a pleasant soreness in her muscles. The alarm clock informs her itās just after 6 am and she wants nothing more than to flip on her other side and reach for her love, pull him straight into her embrace.
But as she moves to do so, she finds the mattress empty beside her.
It takes a moment for her eyes to adjust to the dark, for her sleep-fogged brain to register Astarionās silhouette, sitting on the edge of the bed, facing away from her.
She reaches out, and the moment her fingers brush against the skin of his back, Astarion flinches, turning towards her abruptly.
āAre you okay?ā Eve asks, propping herself up on her elbow.
āI canāt sleep,ā he says in a quiet, tired voice. āMy back hurts.ā
A wave of guilt washes over her as she recalls her fingers digging into the scarred skin of his back just hours ago.
āIām sorry, is it because Iāā
āItās not because of anything you did,ā he interrupts. āItās mostly in my head. Iā¦ had a nightmare. About him. I havenāt had one in a while.ā
Eve shifts to sit next to him, their knees brushing.
āDo you want to talk about it?ā she asks, taking his hand.
āNot about the dream, no.ā
āAbout something else, then?ā
He hesitates at that.
āI should. Iām not sure I know how to.ā
