Summary
There’s a discussion to be had about human language failing to create a more inclusive word than "humanity," but you aren’t thinking about that now. Now, as you’re lying on your bedroll and staring up into eyes that burn red in the dying embers of the campfire, all you can think is *Astarion isn’t human.*
There’s still a ghost of his touch along your throat, where his fingers had frozen in the process of- of what, exactly?
“This isn’t what it looks like,” he says, and the silver tongue that’s talked him out of a dozen arrests has apparently deserted him, because this is *exactly* what it looks like.OR: I wanted a fic about what it must be like to have such a genuinely terrifying guy skulking around being gorgeous all the time.

Summary
He needs her. She is essential, a presence he cannot go without for more than a day. He wants to encase her in glass and keep her all to himself to admire and caress for the rest of eternity. He wants to hold her until they rot and their bones turn to dust—ashes mixing, they can finally be united as one.
Astarion’s darkened mind cannot function if it’s not filled with her, of his wants and dreams for their future. Sometimes he scares himself.

Summary
40 souls go missing from Baldur’s Gate each year. Not many would notice that, because not many were paying attention to ever fluctuating masses of the Lower City. Not many cared.
But your people noticed.
Your people noticed how over the course of 200 years nearly 7000 people had simply…vanished. Where had they all gone? And just where were the bodies?
And now you’ve been sent on a mission to uncover the truth, and finally bring an end to yet another Vampire Lord.

Summary
Rolan has only ever had Cal and Lia. They insist he's family, but he doesn't even need that. He's never needed or wanted anything more.
-
This was supposed to be a one-shot from Rolan's POV about his evolving relationship with Tav largely following the canon of the game. It got a bit out of control, so I had to split it into two chapters.

…Or, he thought he had time anyway.

Summary
Whumptober day 8 - Worth
Tender touch is unknown to Astarion.
It was suspicious to him that they'd be this kind without expecting anything in return.
But over time, that suspicion changed to confusion. And as their adventure continued, as they grew closer, Astarion felt a need to be touched. The worst of all, they reciprocated.(Title from Shrike - Hozier.)

Summary
- Their lives had just been…tadpoles, and mind-flayers, and blood, and fear, and rushing about in a constant pendulum swing between the elation of hope and the crush of disappointment on their quest to find a cure. It was nice to consider something else for a change. To feel...normal again. Even if only for a moment. But by the gods, to be flirted with, desired even. That was something she didn't even dream would be possible until now. -
After unintentionally raiding the Zhentarim hideout, Tav finds a familiar face in need of saving, again. He is all too happy to share the spoils with them and all too eager to give Tav a kind thank you after saving him twice.

Summary
Astarion can no longer go out in the sun, which is truly unfortunate, as this also bans him from, oh, getting fresh air. Now, having accidentally trapped himself in some random wine cellar of the ship, he's stuck desperately trying not to throw up in the dark, alone and scared. What a moron. One can only hope one of his friends will find him, preferably before he has a panic attack.
Oh no, would you look at the tags...

Summary
"I struggle with interoception," you'd told him. "It's like there's a disconnect between my brain and body and I'm not always aware of what I'm feeling."
Abdirak took great care from then on to always make sure you knew your body's limits.
Tldr: Abdirak gives you an intense deep tissue massage.

Summary
“Why did you–ugh–you confounding man!” The fear is evident in his voice and his fingers shake from where they begin the incantations of healing he knows. His eyes squint in agony at seeing Tav bloodied and beaten beneath him and he swallows the cry that claws at his throat knowing that this was his fault.
“I like it when you use big words,” Tav says, head lolling onto one shoulder as the warm, soothing feeling of Gale’s magic overtakes him. It is the softest touch he’s had since the last time Gale had reached out to him with kindness. He is still not used to it.

Summary
Things have been difficult for Tav since Astarion confessed his manipulations to her. She knows he does like her now, but the fact he tried to manipulate her at all, especially through sex, hurts. She doesn't know how to respond after things have clamed down or what to do next. The fact that sex was something she really didn't care about only complicated things further.

Summary
Gortash admires his lover, GN Durge Tav, in the bath.
"He would always have servants bring hot water for their bath, with the most luxurious of oils added to the water. They would talk, as lovers and conspirators, while Tav bathed. Washing the blood from their skin with as little concern as one might wash paint off their skin after white washing a fence. He liked watching the water turn pink and how Tav would sigh in contentment, leaning back against the edge of the tub."

Summary
You failed to protect Astarion and he was recaptured by Cazador.
Will you be able to rescue him in time? Or has his sweet, beautiful heart finally taken more pain than it can bear?
———
The rustling of fabric drew your attention to the furthest, darkest corner. A shape huddled in the shadows, confined to the most cramped, filthy of the cages you had seen.
You tensed up as you realized the source of the smell was coming from that direction.
And your heart shattered when you realized what it was.
Or rather…who.
“Astarion?” you called out again. Still no answer, but his hair caught the light from your spell as he flinched at his name. Even after all the traveling through swamps and caves and goblin dens…you had never seen him this filthy. You dared not even hazard a guess as to what he was covered in, because you were sure it wasn’t only blood.

Summary
Astarion's siblings pay the camp a visit, successfully capturing both Astarion and Tav and bringing them to Cazador. The Vampire Lord takes the opportunity to punish his runaway spawn before the Ascension ritual, and he does not hold back against either Astarion, or the Druid who he seems to have grown quite attached to.
-------
Tav yawned, big enough to cause a slight ache in her jaw. Astarion looked at her with an amused smirk. “Time for bed, darling? I know SOME of us need sleep,” he commented with a teasing tone.
Tav opened her mouth to reply, to agree, when shimmering red smoke appeared around the two of them. She jumped to her feet, Astarion doing the same, as six figures appeared around the two of them. All humanoids, all with glowing red eyes and sharp teeth. Tav recognized two of them: Petras and Dal, from the flophouse on the way into the city.
These were all of Astarion’s “siblings”. This was bad.
Tav began to move her arms, words on the tip of her tongue to ready a spell. “Deto-” she started, before a sharp pain on her temple brought her into darkness.
