Summary
Viktor wanted a quiet new life. Less academia, more meaning. Becoming a therapist was supposed to help people, not ruin him. But then Dr. Jayce Talis moves in next door: gorgeous, brilliant, and very married.
When his wife Mel books a discreet couples session, Viktor knows the rules - stay professional, stay detached. But every look between Jayce and him feels like a dare, every touch a mistake waiting to happen. And the worst part? He’s not sure he cares...---
Note: Although Viktor’s involvement is ethically questionable, the story does not villainise any character. Jayce and Mel’s marriage is already faltering when they seek Viktor’s help, and by the end, all three find peace. No Mel-bashing involved.
Told from Viktor’s point of view, with one chapter from Jayce’s perspective. The story revolves around a lot of pining, steamy sex, unspoken thoughts, desires and trauma, flawed characters, and the longing for love, culminating in a happy ending where everyone is happy. Lots of tears, but plenty of other fluids are involved too. Please read the tags; where necessary, warnings are included at the start of each chapter. Enjoy! -

Summary
After Pinnacle Station, Shepard wins an isolated retirement property on Intai’sei—a joke prize, until it isn’t. Between missions and across years, the place becomes a fixed point in the chaos: a silence she returns to, a future she dares to imagine.
Through war, death, and resurrection, Kaidan remains the center of her gravity—and she his. This is the story of what happens in the spaces between. The things unsaid, the moments unseen, and the quiet intersections where love holds steady, even when everything else breaks.

Summary
“I see,” he said, his voice low and dripping with promise. He picked up the rosemary he’d originally been sniffing, carefully putting it to the side. “I do intend to purchase some herbs first though, darling.”
“First?” Halsin asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
The man tutted at him, hands on his hips. “Darling, I think it’s already a forgone conclusion that I’m following you home and getting fucked. Now, do you have any lavender?”
~~~***~~~***~~~
A modern AU disaster involving Astarion, an unlikely fiance, the herb seller at the local market, and a fair amount of angst and gratuitous smut. I may cause angsty trauma, but we always find a good ending eventually!

Summary
Over the past few days, Ed has been keeping himself at a distance. Stede doesn’t blame him: he’s been distant too. Doesn’t stop Stede from missing him, though. Stede’s been a bad boyfriend, he thinks. In the summertime he was able to take Ed out on day trips, shower him with little gifts, take him dancing without a care in the world. Now that ice is growing thicker and thicker on their doorstep, he feels like it’s grown between him and Ed as well. Nothing seems to melt it.
-
Or, Ed and Stede talk it through. It's not all smooth sailing.

Summary
“How old are you, Astarion?”
Astarion is not expecting the question, Halsin can tell by the way he jerks upright, spine straight, shoulders strong.
“Two-hundred-and-forty,” he answers without hesitation. “Give or take a few years.”
Halsin swallows, rewords his question. “How old were you when you were turned?”
Astarion goes quiet. Extremely, cacophonously quiet.
“Thirty-nine,” he finally says, a bolt straight into Halsin’s heart.
-
Halsin discovers Astarion was turned before his maturity and all the sacred elven rites that come along with it. Including the sex one.

Summary
“I was hoping you’d come back,” Gale said without thinking. He winced internally, all too aware of how desperate he sounded.
“Were you, now?” Astarion tilted his head ever so slightly, amber eyes roaming every inch of his face.
Not trusting his voice, Gale just nodded, and Astarion ducked his head closer, so close he could smell the faint citrusy scent of his skin.
“And…what were you hoping for, darling?” His voice was nearly a whisper, lips close enough to his ear that he could feel the heat of his words.Gale swallowed hard before finally finding his voice. “I was wondering what you meant by next time,” he said, pulling back to look the other man in the eyes.
~~~***~~~***~~~
(I lied it's no longer a one-shot I'm sorry!) Stand-alone piece of slow burn to filth to crash featuring Astarion and Gale in a modern AU. Enjoy.

Summary
The Iron Bull finds an artifact of interest in the bowels of Suledin Keep and thinks it a good gift for Dorian. The Tevinter is less than amused by the indecent gesture, but then a brief respite from the miserable weeks trudging through snow while surrounded by red lyrium is too tempting to resist.
It’s an innocent thing, thinking about the Commander of the Inquisition’s forces in his search for relief. It’s not as if Cullen will ever know.

Summary
Stede finds that being a convicted felon makes job searching near impossible when the owner of a flower shop takes pity on him and gives him a job. It starts as just Stede fulfilling the requirements of his parole. He certainly didn't agree to the offer with the thought the business and the people around it would change his life.

Summary
Astarion is a professional ballet dancer touring along the Sword Coast with his troupe. When his old injuries start to flare up during rehearsals, he seeks the help of Halsin Silverbough, a physical therapist residing within the city of Baldur's Gate.
The only issue is, Mr. Silverbough had completely alleviated Astarion's muscle pains several sessions ago... But the very handsome physical therapist doesn't need to know that.
Astarion is more than happy to continue playing the part of the "anguished dancer", so long as it keeps landing him on Halsin's work table.

Summary
“Have you ever tattooed anyone else?”, Steve asks.
Eddie shoots Steve a roguish smile, “Why, are you interested?”.
“Yes”.
Eddie’s playful grin morphs into a look of genuine surprise, “Wait, seriously?”.
Steve doesn’t really know why, but he’s dead serious. Some part of him just knows that this is something he should say yes to. Maybe, after three years of having to act older than he is, of having responsibility that no teenager should have, maybe he’s saved up some youthful impulsiveness. There’s no trepidation or apprehension, no fear of later regrets, “Yeah, why the hell not”.
~
Y'all this is so self-indulgent. But, anyway, let me convince you to read it! This baby can fit so much:
-Intimate stick and pokes. Eddie likes the stabbing.
-Hair pulling!!
-Steve being obsessed with Eddie's nipple piercings
-Eddie being a literal rolodex of half-baked innuendos and shameless flirting
-Eddie thinking he's in charge, and like, most of the time he is, but Steve is a little minx
They’re both literally so oblivious *bangs them together like two bricks* C’MON ARE YOU INCAPABLE OF RECOGNIZING MUTUAL ATTRACTION! -
