Under the Sussur Tree
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Read Under the Sussur Tree on AO3
Summary: In a sleepy village on the Savage Frontier, a reclusive drow woman spends her days teaching a farmer's son how to play the flute. But when a nautiloid appears in the sky, the quiet life she's built for herself is thrown into chaos. Alone and infected with a mindflayer parasite, she is determined to find her student before she turns: even if that means she must forge alliances with the strange group of survivors she finds along the way.
Genre: Adventure / Drama / Slow Burn Romance (Astarion x Tav). Contains spoilers for Act 1 of Baldur's Gate 3, though isn't a 100% exact retelling.
Rating: Mature

I don't normally do a lot of self promotion stuff (I much prefer to use tumblr for finding fanart + shitposting) but decided I'd throw this up here in case anyone is interested. Whev if not, I am cringe and I am free.

Character Studies: A Baldur's Gate 3 Rec List
Tumblr media
This week, we have Character Studies! Check under the cut for nine fics that delve into the minds of our favorite adventurers, and as always, comment and kudos if you like them!
Under the Sussur Tree by spacesunderstairs (73751,Mature) Warnings: Child loss, violence, mild sexual content in later chapters Pairings: Astarion/Tav
Halinae is a reclusive drow infected with a mindflayer parasite, determined to find the only true friend she ever had before she turns: a young boy she tutored on the Savage Frontier.
Reccer says: I liked it!
Tumblr media
Night time bitch, time for night time shit by Aliantic (19416,Teen) Warnings: N/A Pairings:
An anthology of short stories about life around camp, filling in some gaps, especially when Tav's either asleep or not around.
Reccer says: I love gapfiller fics that focus on small moments between the big events of the story, and this is a *great* series of gapfillers.
Tumblr media
Lost in Frozen Fire by SadinaSaphrite (10333,Explicit) Warnings: Torture, the explicit tag is not bc of sex Pairings: Astarion & Jaheira
Ulma said the Gur would not hunt Astarion anymore, but she can't control all of them. Astarion has a no good very bad time when one Gur father tries to take revenge.
Reccer says: Astarion trying to move on post-canon and realizing he does have friends. Even if he has a bad time!
Tumblr media
caught between the dark and the dreaming by Raayide (18925,Teen) Warnings: Pairings: Astarion & Karlach, Astarion & Wyll
What if Astarion was force fed klauthgrass? What if it was super effective on vampires?
Reccer says: Poor Astarion has a bad time, great exploration of his character and how he responds when forced to be honest
Tumblr media
Those left behind by Gally (11944,Mature) Warnings: Astarion's past abused is mentioned a lot, but its not the focus Pairings: Astarion/Karlach, Astarion & Wyll, Astarion & Shadowheart, Astarion & Gale
Astarion and Karlach were in love! Then she burned up. Astarion has lost even more, but (un)life must go on. Post-canon exploration of what that might be like for him. Don't worry if it sounds dark, trust me, there's lots of humor here too!
Reccer says: Laugh or cry? No no, laugh AND cry!
Tumblr media
Fool Me Once by cyranonic (6975,Mature) Warnings: None Pairings: Karlach & Gortash, Karlach & Astarion
A collection of vignettes showing Karlach growing loyal to one master manipulator and tyrant
Reccer says: Karlach is written SO WELL here, and the subtle manipulation is just perfect! And then Astarion's comfort at the end is just the cherry on top. Superb
Tumblr media
a new light by planetundersiege (803,Mature) Warnings: None Pairings: Lae'zel/Shadowheart
After experiencing Shadowheart almost slitting her throat, Lae'zel gains a new appreciation for her.
Reccer says: A wonderful look into Lae'zel's mind as she navigates the conflict with Shadowheart
Tumblr media
Break the Surface by stormandstarlight (4056,Teen) Warnings: Mention of drowning Pairings:
A musing on vampires, rivers, various silences, and the breaking thereof.
Reccer says: Oh I just loved this! It was incredibly evocative and poetic
Tumblr media
Fury Oh Fury by Tinwoman (2762,Explicit) Warnings: None Pairings: Lae'zel/Shadowheart, Lae'zel/Karlach, Lae'zel/wyll, Lae'zel/gale, Lae'zel/Astarion,
Character study about how lae'zel would be with each if she took them as her lover.
Reccer says: It's just really interesting to me! I like how different each interaction is.
