Trust Me, Darling - Repeat After Me & Say It Again by ms_fahey
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
22 Feb 2026

Summary
After weeks in the wilderness, the group has finally reached an inn, with a fireplace, a bed, and solid walls - things that Astarion is determined to take full advantage of, now that he and Tav are more comfortable together. Astarion is thrilled that his plan is coming along so nicely - it means they can enjoy each others company, indulge in a footrub while they build up to the main event, maybe even find a way to make Tav more vocal in what she wants.
But their increased bond also means that Tav is getting braver.... and she's starting to ask questions he has no answer to.
***
“Here,” she breathed, lifting her chin to expose her throat. “I want.... want your fangs inside me.”It was a ridiculous thing to say. He could tell from her face that she knew it as soon as the quiet words left her hesitant lips, and regretted it. If it was someone else, he'd have mocked them for it, raised his eyebrow and let a smug smile wash over his face. But she was trying, he thought fondly, and he knew it wasn't easy for her. So he pressed his lips against her neck, kissing as he worked his way to her ear.
“That's good,” he crooned, feeling her relax, ankles interlocking around his waist. “That's perfect, darling.”

Summary
When Astarion comes to in the glaring brightness of the midday sun, he thinks he's died for the second time. Or perhaps it's an illusion. A hallucination.
But no, it's none of that. The world has simply gone mad. The old rules are gone, new ones have been slapped on instead, and no one has bothered to explain anything to him.
Before Astarion has time to process any of this, he's thrown into adventure with a bunch of strangers – emphasis on strange. But it's all right. He'll survive. He always does, whatever it takes.

Summary
Centuries have passed since Astarion's ascension. Centuries of triumph and despair, of victory and defeat, of heady thrills and daring escapes. Through it all, I have kept him safe. Through it all, he has kept me at his side. His loyal right hand, who straddles the line between life and undeath; the one he can't compel. I am a unique individual, no matter how you slice it. Just not as unique as Tav.
Tav is, after all, the one that got away. The unrequited love of Astarion's life, just as he is the unrequited love of mine.
And now Tav is back, and Tav wants it all.

Summary
Still stuck in half-orc form to facilitate their sneaky journey through Moonrise, Astarion is injured in the fight with some defensive skeletons in the Apothecary's Cellar. While he and Tav sit together to recover in the cave, the others go ahead to search the study for anything that can be used to open Astarion's screaming book. But there is one more coffin, unopened, so Tav and Astarion decide to deal with whatever is inside themselves, just to prove that they can. But while they suspect its another skeleton, it turns out to be something far different.
***
Tav rolled her eyes, suddenly noticing something behind him.“Don’t leave that behind,” she said, pointing towards it so he turned to look at Wyll’s shovel. “He must have forgot it in the excitement.”
“Oh darling, let’s leave it,” he protested, walking mournfully towards it to pick it up. “Look darling, it’s dirty.”
“It’s a shovel, Astarion, what do you expect,” she said dryly. “Here, I’ll carry it.”
“Shovel?” said a third voice suddenly, making them both freeze. “Me Shovel?”

Summary
Temporarily trapped in a new form to avoid detection, Astarion and his companions have attempted to cut back through Moonhaven to reach the Risen Road. But when they're confronted by ogres, and Astarion intervenes to stop Tav saving their friends, unresolved tensions bubble to the surface.
***
“Darling,” he began, not sure where he was going but knowing he had to say something.“Don't ‘darling’ me,” she warned. “You can't just ‘darling’ your way out of everything.”
“But darling,” he protested, reaching out to take her hands in his to test her theory - but Tav yanked away from him, glaring with furious eyes.
“That works much better when you're beautiful, Astarion,” she snapped. “Trust me, when all that's gone, you're not nearly as tolerable.”
Astarion blinked, caught off guard as Tav froze, clearly realizing as the words left her mouth that she had gone too far.
“I - I -” she stammered, her face going pale beneath her freckles. “I didn't mean - that came out wrong.”

Trust Me, Darling: The Apothecary’s Cellar by ms_fahey

Summary
Having gained access to the blighted village of Moonhaven, Tav and Astarion head down to the apothecary's cellar for him to feed on her. Finally alone, high on her blood, Astarion thinks its the perfect time to move their relationship forward. But Tav isn't so sure, and Astarion reacts in his usual petty manner about her rejection - but is distracted when he notices something very odd about a nearby bookcase.
***
He withdrew his fangs, feeling his lips on her skin, feeling the blood flow into his mouth, feeling the surge of pleasure and power that it contained. It was like a long drawn out lovemaking session, making sure to hit just the right spots, as opposed to a quick hard fuck. Both pleasurable, but different.Astarion felt himself growing rigid within his small-clothes. He was already pressed up against her, she’d notice this time even if she hadn’t before. Just in case, he ground against her to make sure she knew, and there was a higher pitched gasp as her hands moved slightly, but stayed on the books. The blood crept out onto his tongue as he lapped at her, to heal her and clean her, before his mouth left her skin.
“Take off your pants, darling,” he whispered, unbuttoning his own.

Summary
“Would you like us to dispose of the body, my lord?”
Vampire Ascendent Lord Astarion was unmoved, physically and emotionally, as he stared at Tav’s charred and lifeless body on the floor of their bedroom.
His ears rang with the combinations of the fading gala downstairs, the beating hearts of the guests that kept their lives, and something altogether unfamiliar that seemed to drown his senses in white noise as his eyes were locked on the bed sheets tied around Tav’s ankles.
“My lord?”
“What?” Astarion snapped at one of his attending spawn that stood next to Tav.
No, he thought to himself. Not Tav. Tav’s body.

Trust Me, Darling: Eyes Of The Wild [Formerly 'A Strange Book'] by ms_fahey

Summary
Settling down for the night in the Blighted Village of Moonhaven, Astarion sets off to go hunting - finding, to his annoyance, that Gale's invention has caught a rabbit, which is sure to make him look good in Tav's eyes. Astarion decides that's unacceptable. But while heading to the river to dispose of the evidence of his crime, he accidently stumbles upon where Tav is bathing.
***
Feeling very satisfied from the rabbit blood and the sabotage of Gale’s trap, Astarion began to walk towards the river. It wasn’t far, and he could hear the sound of the stream rushing merrily by. He sniffed, as he tended to do, and detected a whiff of something that made him stop completely still.“Gods it's getting cold fast,” a voice said. “Summer will be over soon.”
It was Shadowheart - he’d accidentally stumbled across where the others were bathing. He crept a little closer, peering around Shadowheart until he could see Tav, sitting down in the water, her hair loose, infuriatingly covered up to her chest by the rushing stream.
“You go, I’ll catch up,” Tav replied, scrubbing at her hair.
“What if some nasty little beast decides to spy on you?” Shadowheart said, and Astarion tried very hard not to be offended.

Summary
"Volo," said Tav.
"Would taste like blackstaff wine," Astarion said. "Boisterous, bright, and unbalanced."
"I like that," said Tav. She was sprawled on cushions, sorting through their supplies for dinner. "Different from the namesake, but it works. Your turn."
"The hag," Astarion suggested.
"Oh gods," said Tav. "That's an interesting one. Something that starts lovely, but with an awful surprise. Elverquisst, but there's a rotting fish at the bottom of the bottle."
----
A troupe-master bard is plucked up by the Nautiloid. She transitions from directing plays to directing an adventuring party and becomes immediate chaos-gremlin-besties with the rogue. This has a number of almost disastrous consequences and involves far more talking about feelings than any vampire should reasonably be expected to do.
A story about a bunch of traumatized people becoming better, because that can happen when you find yourself in a new place and suddenly have a support network.

Summary
Astarion's latest hunt didn't go so well, but he's full of plans on how to spend the remainder of the night - mostly involving Tav on all fours - so he sneaks into her room to find her peacefully asleep. He will wake her up, he decides - but for a minute, maybe he'll just sit, and watch over her.
***
“You’re cold now,” Tav said. “Are you thirsty?”“Are you offering?” he purred.
As he spoke, he caught her hand in his and kissed her palm, watching her as he did. She was properly awake now, gazing at him with nervous fascination as he nuzzled again at her wrist, running the tip of his fangs along the blue veins that lay just under the skin. If he bit her, his heartbeat would rise to match hers, and he would warm up. It would relax soon afterwards and eventually slow down to almost nothing within a day, and then he would be cold again. But it was exceedingly pleasant while it lasted.
Especially when it was Tav’s blood, which sharpened his senses and made him hard. One day soon, he’d ask her to let him drink from her while he came inside her, which seemed a delightfully poetic circle of giving that he was sure he could string into a suitably romantic proposition, with enough planning.

Summary
Astarion, Tav, Shadowheart and Gale have been travelling together for more than a day, without any sign of civilisation or anyone who can help with their tadpoles. While Shadowheart and Tav get to looting, and Gale tries to make himself useful by looking for a village, Astarion's mind starts to wander about what each of his companions might be like in the bedroom.
***
Gale reached up for a thick tree branch, tugged on it experimentally, then removed his purple shirt. The she-elves paused to watch him in some confusion. Astarion kept cleaning his nails, but stared as well as Gale suddenly grunted and pulled himself up onto the branch. He had a lot more upper body strength than Astarion had anticipated.Shadowheart let out a snort, while Tav looked very much like she wanted to giggle.
“This is hardly the time,” the cleric snarked. “To be climbing trees, Gale.”
“I am merely attempting to ascertain,” Gale said good-naturedly, standing on the branch. “The approximate location and direction of any nearby settlements or municipalities which may include a public house whereby we could secure temporary accommodation.”
‘I’m looking for a nearby village’, would that have been so hard to say?

Summary
Astarion, Tav and their companions have infiltrated the Githyanki creche and met with Queen Vlaakith, but refused to hand over the Astral Prism. As a result, they have been locked inside the Inquisitor's chambers while the Gith summon their dragons to destroy the Monastery and take the Prism from them.
There is only one way out, and Astarion is about to learn the dire consequences of failing an earlier perception check.
***
As they stood, a soft magical ring pulsed from the machine, moving almost lazily. He sensed that pulse had been beating down here, undisturbed, for a very long time. The light slid over their feet and up their bodies, as if the sleeping machine was feeling for their presence.It awakened with a clunk.
The top portion of the device started to turn, clunked sluggishly a few degrees to the right, then stopped. They all froze, as it turned again with another clunk, moving slightly smoother and faster this time. Whatever it was doing, this strange machine, he was certain of one thing.
They absolutely did not want to be nearby when it finished doing it.

Summary
Auri’s young. She’s innocent. Astarion’s not sure if she’s ever known another’s touch below the waist at all. When she rolls her hips, seeking any kind of pressure, it’s not intentional. He would balk at the idea under most circumstances. Sex is another form of torture. It might not be with her blood coursing through him.
He opens his mouth to entertain the idea–
And Auri’s body goes limp in his arms.
Astarion blinks. When he licks the blood from her neck, she doesn’t move. His chin is no doubt painted red. Panic swells in his breast, but Auri’s chest rises and falls. She’s not dead. She’s just an idiot. “Stupid girl,” Astarion whispers.
It’s for the best. He might have done something Auri would have regretted.
auri and astarion meet before the nautiloid ever flies over baldur's gate. and who wouldn't want to lose their virginity to a vampire?

Summary
In the swirling snow of faraway mountains, a magical manor sits nestled in isolation. Its original vampire master fell to the knives of his spawn a century ago, and a new lord takes his place -- the cold, untouchable Astarion Ancunín, who severs himself from civilization, his heart cursed to be hard as stone.
In a warm village nearby, a bard named Ori ventures into the mountains to slay an old evil and finds herself pulled into a bargain -- her lifeblood in exchange for shelter from a winter storm that will never end.
But there are things warmer than winter, stronger than stone, and more powerful than a long-standing curse.
A sweet-and-spicy fairy tale with flavors of The Snow Queen, Howl's Moving Castle, and Labyrinth.
