    Summary

    Five years after the events of SDR2, the world is stabilizing, most of the sleeping students have awakened, and the future is looking up...supposedly. Hinata is forced to take a "voluntary sabbatical" because he's "working himself to death" and "not productively handling his feelings of guilt," so he decides to visit Gundam Tanaka, who he hasn't seen for most of those five years and who he definitely isn't still carrying a torch for. After all, what could possibly go wrong with trapping himself on a remote farm with a wannabe dark lord and his menagerie?

    Summary

    “Hey, so.” A good start. Super relaxed. Very conversational. “I was wondering. If you were planning on doing anything about the, uh. Necrotic hand situation?”

    Komaeda seems too surprised by the question to really take notice of the sudden and immediate cringe that snaps down Hinata’s spine at his own terrible choice of a conversation lead in.

    He sets his teacup down. “What *should* I be doing about it, Hinata-kun?”

     

    (or: hinata has a gift for komaeda. he's just unsure if it's the right one. or if komaeda wants it. actually maybe he should just throw it away.)

    Summary

    It's 2011, men are allowed to marry, and Bucky is dead.

    The future isn't all that's strange. Together in peacetime for the first time since before Steve took the serum, Steve and Bucky struggle to find their place -- and each other -- in the middle of a new millennium, new bodies, and new dynamics.

    Or, just because you wake up in a century where everything you've repressed is magically okay, that doesn't make it easy.

    [COMPLETE]

    Summary

    "Astarion never hunted living things back home, he didn’t need to, living things threw themselves at him when he gave them the attention they wanted, degrading themselves for just a fleeting moment of his time. Sometimes, if he was lucky, Astarion had allowed himself to keep to the shadows when he needed a moment alone. Just a moment. Tucked into the darkness, without people vying for his attention, without trying to claim the attention of others. It was rare, sweet, cherished, to find respite in the bustling darkness and let himself breathe, to be unseen. Sometimes he felt like the whole world was watching him, observing him, devouring him. He wanted to claw his own skin off. He wanted to be strong enough to never have to bear the weight of their hungry eyes again."

    AKA Astarion and Durge slowly fall for each other but are both very broken people with very very dangerous habits. A focus on both their trauma and the overcoming of it. I say the dove is dead because this fic goes to dark places but I always put content warnings at the start of each chapter.

    A novelestaiton of Baldurs Gate 3 with a focus on Astarion and my Durge OC Howl. Mostly cannon compliant with Spawn Astarion and resisiting Durge endgame
