Summary
She froze at the mention of Moonrise. It was their first solid lead since the nautiloid crashed, but the news filled Tav with dread. She knew all too well the evil that besieged that land. Without thinking, she stepped close to Halsin, leaning in so only he could hear her. She reached up and grabbed his arm, trying to keep her balance.
“You’re sure that’s where we need to go?” she asked quietly, in Elvish. “That is no easy task.”
His expression softened and he gave her a knowing look in response.“You know of this place?” He lowered his voice to match hers, as smooth as his voice was before, it was nothing compared to hearing him speak their native tongue.
“Unfortunately, yes. I would not go back there unless I had no other choice.” Tav’s hand was starting to shake slightly against his arm, but he placed his other hand over hers to steady it. His hands were lightly calloused but warm and comforting. She felt the blushing feeling returning to her face.
“It will be dangerous, but it can be done. And perhaps, we can see the light there again.” he whispered back. His voice was hopeful, but his face was a mask of pain.

Summary
“One of these days, I will have you without interruption,” he swears in a low voice. “And on that day, Oak Father preserve me, you will not leave my arms until I’ve had my fill of you. And that, my love, is an oath I will swear on everything I hold dear.” Lilah’s pupils are blown wide, her gold-flecked blue eyes gone dangerously dark, and she smiles a truly wicked smile.
“I will hold you to that oath, Archdruid,” she replies as she slips from his arms, and as quickly as he was on her, she is gone.Halsin finds himself drawn to the pretty, reckless, self-sacrificing bard who rescued him from the goblins' worg pens.

Where The Wild Ones Go by iBiru

Summary
Harley Potter wasn’t made for cages or crowns — she was forged in chaos, scarred by storms, and blessed with wings sharp enough to slice gods in half. Dropped straight into a world of mind flayers, goblins, and people who think they can keep up, Harley does what she does best: causes hell, collects kids like shiny coins, and smiles sweetly while plotting violence. Everyone either fears her, worships her, or wisely gets out of the way. Then there’s Halsin — a mountain of a man, all golden eyes and filthy promises, who doesn’t just chase the storm; he catches it. With one look, one growl, one hand on her hip, he makes it very clear: Harley is his now. Cue chaos, heavy snogging, hellhounds, territorial growling, flower-crowned hellspawn children, Death dropping off gifts, and an entire Grove slowly realizing their new queen didn’t come to play — she came to conquer. If you’re looking for delicate, you’re in the wrong forest. Harley doesn’t fall in love; she burns in it. And Halsin? Halsin is the only one who knows exactly how to hold the wildfire without getting consumed. (Spoiler: He likes getting burned.)

Summary
There's the thunk of a book hitting the floor, and suddenly Astarion is on his feet. The other man's slim form is silhouetted by the fire as he closes the distance between them with preternatural speed, invading Halsin's space in an instant. He's not touching, still not saying anything, but there's something banked in Astarion's gaze, something threatening to ignite at any moment.
"What," the vampire murmurs, his cool breath caressing Halsin's lips, "exactly is this, my sweet?"
"It's, ah, a look inspired by Calishite courtesans—apparently very popular in the bedroom these days." The druid swallows, the bulge in his throat visibly bobbing.
OR: Understanding his personal hangups about his body and inspired by Astarion’s self-confidence, Halsin decides to surprise the vampire with a special (and decidedly revealing) outfit. It goes over surprisingly well.

There’s something wrong with the druid by HermeticPrinciples for ashamedbliss
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
28 Jun 2025
Tags
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
The bite was just a nip, a careful insertion of fangs that Halsin was used to. The quick, cold pain was no stranger, and as Astarion was careful, it was nothing significant. Honestly, had received worse bites from Scratch on accident than this. He felt Astarion shiver as his Heart slightly removed his fangs to start lapping at the welling blood. It was an odd thing, feeling one’s blood leave their body, but to Halsin, it brought him comfort in moments like this.
By the stars, how Halsin enjoyed this. This exchanged warmth, and not just in the physical sense. In this room, it was just them, only them.
[OR]
The journey of Halsin meeting Astarion, learning who he is as a person throughout the game, and discovering how much he loves him. And is loved in turn.

Summary
Halsin cleared his throat, shuffling the slightest bit closer to her. She stayed where she was, but marked his movement. “Do you remember anything else about that man you mentioned?”
Tav thought about it for a second. Something curious flashed across her face, but he couldn’t name it. “I—I just remember a gold hand."
Dragonborn, maybe? He didn’t voice the theory obviously.
But what he said next surprised him enough that his mouth dried instantly.
“Would you like to kiss me?”
Tav’s eyes widened. “I don’t know how.”
“I can teach you.”
*
She aided everyone, himself included, and he hated how useless he felt. But if he were to simply open his eyes, he would see that she too was losing her mind.

Summary
Astarion is perhaps the one of the most interesting, irritating, but somehow undoubtedly kind people Halsin has ever observed. Though he’d flay anyone who had the audacity to tell him it.
****
In which Astarion is secretly nice and Halsin is exceedingly (annoyingly) observant.

Summary
Astarion propped his cheek on his fist. “All right, druid. I have a challenge for you, and you can’t say no, seeing as you’re so damned confident.”
“Let us hear it,” Halsin said.
He smiled: a slow, sly, wicked smile. “I challenge you to keep that big thick cock of yours away from our sweet little sorceress-bard until I say so.”
Brynn pulled in a sharp breath, and Halsin’s eyes sparked with a flare of golden light before returning to their normal colour. “Fascinating,” he said, in an enviably calm voice. “I accept.”
