    Summary

    On the anniversary of his exile from Mystra's Chosen, Gale finds a stranger half-frozen at the steps of his isolated tower. Perhaps it would be nice to have a spot of company.

    Weeks from Baldur’s Gate and the confinement of Cazador's mansion, runaway Astarion is saved from a winter's storm by a strange, sickly wizard. A fresh meal, ripe for the taking. Perhaps he would be forced to reconsider his stance on miracles.

    Summary

    Receiving final edits, edited chapters will be stated in the notes and posted to Tumblr: nottabear

    In an old manor you find an old crumbling journal. The entries within are written by some long gone nobleman's consort you can only assume by the delicate hand writing. The first entry starts over four centuries ago. The date is one you can remember, it was a big day for Baldurs Gate. The day a group of adventurers defeated a Nether brain and saved the city. It seems one of those adventurers kept a of record of their life after the great fight.

    Summary

    Astarion found himself watching Gale more than he was watching Dirty Dancing. He looked quite young to be getting divorced, he thought to himself. The gossip in him was dying to know the full story, but he knew full well that it would be really stupid to start prying into a practical stranger’s personal life.

    As he was about to ask, because fuck it, he was probably never seeing this man again, Gale reached below his seat and grabbed a notebook and pen from a satchel. A satchel. The man was going on what amounted to a mid life crisis of a holiday (or, to be fairer to him, a third of a life crisis, because he looked to be about Astarion’s age), and he’d brought a satchel?!

    **

    Lawyer Astarion Ancunín had a chance encounter with film professor Gale Dekarios on a flight to New York. And then another chance encounter at a bar. And when he found out he’s in the middle of a messy divorce, well, what was Astarion to do? Aside from sleep with him, which was obviously a given.

    Astarion didn’t believe in love stories. But life had accidentally thrown him into one of his own.

    Summary

    "Astarion!" She's white with horror, frozen. Siobhan makes no attempt to hide her near nakedness. He's already seen too much.

    As he gets closer, he can see countless faint white lines crisscrossing beneath the fresh cuts, decades of self-mutilation. This is not the first time she's done this.

    "You mustn't tell the others," she begs, tears flowing freely down her face. "Please, they wouldn't understand."

    Astarion doesn't know how to respond, struck dumb by what he's caught her doing and her request. Siobhan's eyes search his face frantically, trying to divine what he's thinking and what he'll do next. With a start, he realizes they're playing out the inverse of the night he'd tried to drink from her. Now, he's the one being asked to protect a horrible secret.

    But he can hardly focus on what to do next, all thoughts deafened by the sound of her throbbing heartbeat pounding in his ears and the pungent smell of her blood flooding his nostrils.

    - - - -

    Bloodletting is a remedy that is hardly possible to estimate too highly. Or that's what they say. Siobhan has enough darkness in her past that maybe a little bloodletting is called for. Unbeknownst to her, Astarion is more than happy to oblige.

    Summary

    Tavlor has lightning in her blood—Astarion would know, he tasted it when he drank from her. The only problem is she can’t seem to control it, or even use it at all, unless her life is in mortal peril. While the others see her as a liability, Astarion sees an opportunity to secure protection, a steady food supply, and a chance to reclaim the power that was taken for him. But when his interference has deadly consequences, he learns that he isn’t the only one concealing dark secrets. With his freedom on the line, Astarion will do almost anything to keep Tavlor under his influence, except of course, fall in love with her for real.

     

    OR

    “Oh, no, darling,” he whispers, lowering his lips to her neck. He doesn’t bite down just yet, just teasing nips and gentle strokes of his tongue, just enough to make her shiver, to make her hips seek him out, desperate for more. “I’ll tell you when to touch me. There’s no need to strain your pretty little head over the details. All you have to do is obey.”

    Summary

    At Tav’s first meeting with him, he held her against him on the ground at knifepoint. She certainly didn’t anticipate the arousal that he would awaken in her. She told herself that her traitorous body was reacting in an inconvenient way to a flood of adrenaline.

    Her days spent in the wilds providing guidance and protection to those who could spare a bit of coin told her that whatever she felt toward him would wane. It was just a passing spark of lust that would snuff itself out as they neared their destination.

    That’s the way it had always been, and that’s the way it would go this time.

    …until it went off the fucking rails.

    ---

    TL;DR: A smutty, canon divergent re-telling of the game featuring a love triangle between Tav/Astarion/Gale and dad jokes nobody asked for or wanted.

    Summary

    Sometimes Astarion had to remind himself that there was a difference between a master and a leader. He expected much of what Tar’eon did to be that of an iron fist, like a master talking to his slaves, especially with his intimidating build, but he was…gentle. Disgustingly so, in Astarion's opinion.

     

    ***

    Astarion found himself often surprised by his heroic companion. He had one goal. To become the favoured companion of the group, to earn the Tieflings loyalty, to make Tar'eons strength his own. Yet Tar'eon isn't like the usual target of his manipulations. Despite his naivety, he does not seem gullible. There is something very wrong with their 'leader' to begin with. Astarion isn't sure if he wants to control it or eradicate the threat it posed. But can he really do either when Tar'eon himself seems so...unwaveringly kind?

    That devil is getting into his head, while others get into Tar'eons. He doesn't appreciate not having the upperhand after years of being at the disadvantage. He will find a way to make him see.

    He is the one he should be listening to. Astarion would make it so, no matter the means.

    Summary

    Beauty, tradition, and perfection: these are the pillars of the House of Szarr, a centuries-old perfumery owned by creative director and artist Cazador Szarr and shouldered by its next-to-nobody nose, Astarion Ancunín.

    Overworked, underpaid, and determined to claw his way out, Astarion finds the perfect blend of unusual charm and genius—and the key to toppling the house for good—when he meets chemistry professor Gale Dekarios.

    Or: one perfumer, one professor, one treatise on art, addiction, and the price of ambition.

    Summary

    Rolan thought it was a kind gesture—Astarion makes it obedience.

    When Rolan accepts a dinner invitation at the Vampire Ascendant’s palace, gratitude quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Obedience, devotion, and pleasure become chains stronger than iron as Astarion shapes Rolan into the perfect, crafted instrument.

    Summary

    First two stories are set during the time the pair was in Baldur's Gate. (I didn't think i'd write more than one or that this would blossom into a long saga. So, the two first stories aren't a necessary read.) The third part (In cold blood) is the one which starts the adventure and continuous storyline of the loving couple. It's set in a new town in the north, after the end of the battle in Baldur's Gate. It could be described as villains on vacation who're looking for a place to settle down in. Also, lots of passion and crimes!

    Summary

    “Astarion,” you say before you can stop yourself. “We buried you.”

    Astarion’s eyes widen. He could have jumped you then, spilling your innards across the dirt, the shock shaking you down to your core. But there’s a startled look in his eyes, too, like you could push him over with a feather. There’s no recognition there, only—

    “You must be mistaken,” Astarion says, waving a hand dismissively. There’s an easy smile on his face that doesn’t quite meet his eyes. “I don’t believe we’ve met."

    You knew Astarion, two hundred years ago. You were new to the city. You were both young, for your kind. He was a magistrate. He liked fine wines and fine company, and you were— young, and naive, and a little bit in love with him. He never looked at you twice. Not in the way you wanted, anyway.
