Baldur's Gate 3
To Dull a Sharpened Blade (AO3)
Tav x Astarion
Summary
Artemis has mastered the art of wearing masks, effortlessly slipping into different personas to ensure her survival in a life of blood and cruelty. She’ll do whatever necessary to complete her missions, all to perform to the expectations forced upon her by a malevolent master.
Sleuthing the dark, shadowed streets of Baldur’s Gate one minute, adducted by mind flayers the next, Artemis finds herself in a rare situation; she is wholly, irrevocably, out of her depth. Thrust into unfamiliar territory and surrounded by a group of enigmatic strangers, the ruthless assassin must don the persona of the plucky, witty mercenary.
It should come as second nature to deceive and manipulate her new companions, to tangle them seamlessly in her web of lies. Yet, Artemis discovers she is not alone in the art of manipulating minds and hearts. Astarion not only harbours secrets as deep as hers, but he also seems unwittingly driven to outmanoeuvre her in her own game.
Unbeknownst to him, manipulation is a dance whose steps Artemis has long perfected.
Let the games begin, high elf.

Echoes of the Mind (AO3)
Tav x Astarion
Summary
With the Netherbrain defeated, the Sword Coast saved, and the tadpoles gone, Artemis should finally be able to live life on her own terms—free and unbound, able to journey wherever her heart desires. Yet, despite this newfound freedom, an insatiable ache of loneliness has embedded itself deep within her soul. Her friends have all gone their separate ways in search of new adventures, and freedom isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, especially without someone to share it with.
Although the worms in their heads have been destroyed, Artemis finds herself inexplicably able to hear the thoughts of her former companions. She shouldn’t be able to peer into their minds or have them appear at the most unexpected moments. So, why can she?
With these newfound abilities, perhaps reforming connections will be easier than she anticipated, and maybe—just maybe—old flames can be rekindled anew.
KPop Demon Hunters
Tethered (AO3)
Rumi x Jinu
Summary
He gave her his soul. She never asked for it… but now she’s not sure she can let it go.
Gwi-Ma is defeated, the Honmoon restored, and Rumi has come to accept her insecurities. But as she finally begins to feel at home in her own skin, she can’t shake the sense that something is missing. Until she hears his voice in her mind, sees his face everywhere she goes, and feels his presence even when she’s certain he’s long gone.
Perhaps what was lost isn’t gone at all, just waiting to be found.
