Treasure Of My Heart

Fandom: Baldur’s Gate 3

Pairing: Astarion X Tav (Named f! OC)

Fic length: Ongoing, currently 18k words

Vibes: Follows the game with some obvious spins + will continue afterward. I wrote this story with the intention of showing the reality of what healing can look like + how difficult but rewarding it can be. Nyxtria (OC) was created before Bg3 came out for a D&D campaign + she fit so well with Astarion that I thought I could take an opportunity to write a love story for survivors + all that can come into that. 🏹🩸

Excerpt from most recent chapter:

“Occasionally, Astarion convinced himself he’d been loved when he was alive. Inevitably, Cazador would remind him with torture or words- that no one had ever looked for him. The childish notion would shatter like weak glass. That’s all he was, after all. A cheap mirror meant to reflect and lure in others.

Astarion would sweep his little shards back into the pit within himself, let them be swallowed whole by the thing he’d become.”

Honestly, I know how many fics there are in this fandom + it’s a bit intimidating. I also know it’s hard to love OC’s- so I really do appreciate anyone checking it out/ giving Nyx a chance. I have so many ideas planned that I think someone out there might love as much as I do & not only that- someone might gain a little hope from where this story will go. 🖤

(I’m trying to get better about promoting my own writing without feeling like I should just shut up so any interactions are without a doubt met with gratitude! It’s scary shouting into the void 😅)

Ps- link is title!

Astarion: tsk, here we ask before we bite

Tav/Durge:

(Nyx (tav) will absolutely make a joke about this in my Astarion fic “Our Middle Is The Moon” on ao3, can’t wait.)

Blade to a delicate throat, he and the stranger tumbled into the dirt, a rope of hair smacking him in the face on the way down. This is the one with honey blood, the scent told him. Before he could turn his head, Astarion felt the bruising blow of bone on bone to his jaw. His prey rolled out of his grasp faster than he could tighten his hold. He flipped his hand out, dagger held firm. He surged to a crouch before halting.

            The tip of an arrow shined like a promise, pointed down to his chest. Damn, fast little thing. Head still throbbing, Astarion dragged his eyes upward, squinted at the woman’s-female’s- face for the first time. She was an elf, like him. Delicate pale ears tapered to a point, pierced through with silver rings along the shells.

            Absurdly, his first thought was that she looked like a hellish icon- red hair burning in the sun, bow drawn, a veritable stake aimed for his monstrous heart. They were a cathedral scene, resting above the pious in some ignorant god’s baroque temple.

            “If I go down, you’re coming with me.”

Ahhh I hope you love it. This one is certainly my favorite so far, I think. <3 It would mean the world if you gave this story a try as it is still very new! & Thank you to everyone who already has🖤 ps- DWOD uploaded about 24 hrs ago too!

Thank you forever for giving this story a shot 🖤 I hope you love it & if you are new to my writing- hello!

PS- don’t worry my DWOD readers- I have uploads for you tomorrow, special ones 🥹 I simply could not get everything done last night + this story was ready to roll but I wanted to edit my DWOD chap a bit more to make it sparkly for you.

A new Astarion X Original female character fic 🖤 Gosh I’m so nervous to join a second fandom, but… here we are. I’m ravenyenn19 & I write love stories for characters who deserve to heal and survivors who deserve to see that represented.🖤

This story is about healing, about the journey toward trust and intimacy that is possible for survivors & a showing of those ups and downs- that non linear path. I hope anyone who reads enjoys! This is a little post I made to give an idea of what this story will hold🖤 it would mean everything to me if you would consider giving it a read & commenting any thoughts! Seriously they are so helpful to authors.

Thank you forever, whether you are a long time reader of my other fics or a brand new reader! 🏹🌘
