Fics like Blood to Gold

Astarion's eyes flick to Tav. For the first time this evening, his gaze rests. Tav's face shows nothing, carefully composed, unreadable even to Astarion's cunning. It makes his gaze linger, makes him realise that Tav radiates that aura. The one Astarion has seen many times over the years, in Cazador as well as in his master's enemies and allies. This power. It's delicious. Astarion sees a way out of two centuries of servitude and abuse under his master Cazador Szarr in Tav, a fellow victim of the mind flayers' abduction. His next steps are instinctive. Manipulation is what he knows, what he's good at, what his master kept him around for. His plan works—until Astarion realises that Tav might be more than what he bargained for. So much more. — Allies with benefits turns into a sizzling slow burn. Our two protagonist get to know each other by sharing good but mostly bad memories, fooling around, and making matters complicated. Along their arduous path the events of 1492 DR in and around Baldur's Gate unfold. Annoyingly endearing companions, teasing banter, and bloody battles included.
