Summary
"Fuck Cazador Szarr,” she spits, looming closer until their foreheads almost touch. Her eyes shine with obsession. “If he doesn't want to lose his toys, he should keep better track of them. You're mine now."
They stare at each other wordlessly. Astarion refuses to blink. His impotent fury has nowhere to go. He shakes with it.
That’s the long and short of it, isn’t it? He is a toy. A possession to be fought over. She understands this about him after only meeting him twice, and he hates her for it.
//
Astarion is captured by Bhaal's Chosen long before the mind flayers can get their tentacles on him. Desperate for freedom — in whatever form it takes — he follows the path to become an Unholy Assassin.
Between bouts of bloodlust, a devilish heist, and a divine conspiracy, Astarion and the Bhaalspawn slowly realize how much they’re alike.
Together, they could change the fate of the Sword Coast.

Summary
“Is this how you imagined your freedom? Spending your nights watching over your pet Bhaalspawn?”
For most of Astarion’s undead existence, he didn’t imagine his freedom at all. But if someone had told him there would be love on the other side of his pain — a fierce, devastating sort of love that would change him and be changed in turn? He would have done terrible things to get it.
And now she’s his. A beast like him. Someone who will become the worst sort of monster for his sake.
He wants all of her. Even the parts that scare her.
//
Vidri fails a crucial wisdom roll and makes an unimaginable sacrifice to save Astarion’s life. The consequences of her decision haunt her on every full moon.
Astarion is not afraid. Not of her, not of her darkness, and not of their future. He trusts her not to hurt him. She needs to learn to trust herself.
