  1. Summary

    A series of mostly canon-compliant short stories covering Astarion's life, from his turning through to just before the game starts. It's angst, so much angst. And eventually, it's wit and charm and sex and vampire stuff and more angst and adventuring and Astarion-is-bad-at-feelings and all the things we love about our favorite broken vampire. It's all from Astarion's POV and all intended as an intense character study.

    Series completed.

    Summary

    For the first time, Dedra Meero looked at him like he was a being. A sentient being, a member of society, not a shit smear caught in the tread of her boot. Lying at night in his childhood bedroom, he imagined many scenarios where she would – not look up to him with tears in her bright eyes like he was her hero, of course not – but where she would realize what he could offer to the Empire generally and to her investigation in particular, and reward him.

    Syril helps Dedra get away from herself.

    Summary

    This story bridges the emotional and narrative gap between 2x08 and 2x12, exploring what was left unsaid—especially from Dedra’s POV. It follows her grief and unraveling after Syril's death, revisiting key moments and imagining what happened in and after Ghorman. You'll get a memorial and we get to see Eedy again.

    A quiet reckoning between duty, loss, and what’s left behind (with some flashbacks). Enjoy reading!

Even if he did save her life, she can't afford to get distracted. But she finds herself watching him. She can't stop. Maybe he could be useful to her, after all. Maybe she's lonely.

    Summary

    Syril loves Dedra and Dedra loves Syril, but only one of them can say it out loud. This will cause absolutely no problems for them whatsoever. Probably. (Set against the lyrics of Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf’s “Bat Out of Hell” album, because there are no rules and I can do whatever I want.)

    Summary

    Vellum Systems rewards structure, obedience, and loyalty—especially when no one’s watching. But someone is always watching. And Dedra Meero has started to notice.

    A slow-burn modern thriller of quiet obsession, subtle control, and the blurred line between attention and intrusion.
