Summary
Astarion has been attending Baldur’s Gate Law School for a few years now because ... well, because his mother said that’s what an Ancunín ought to do. It's not exactly what he would have chosen for himself, but at least he gets to share most of his classes with his best friend Zoraya. The two of them have been inseparable since childhood. A connection that has always been strictly platonic, of course; as his parents' ward, Zoraya is far beneath his station. Recently, however, Astarion has decided that he might consider giving her a chance. If she were to make an effort—say, throw herself at his feet and beg him for a shot at his heart—well, he might be persuaded to indulge her.
Unfortunately for him, Zoraya feels the exact same way.Law Student Astarion and his childhood friend Zoraya get into a “Kaguya-sama: Love is War” like scenario where they’re both madly in love with each other, but neither of them is willing to set aside their pride and make the first step, so instead they try to manipulate each other into confessing their feelings first.
Written for the Astarion Fanzine "Bound by Blood" 2025

Summary
“Shouldn’t we go and tell Cazador?” she asked.
“I do not give a damn what we should and shouldn’t do, darling,” Astarion said, his hand closing around her wrist. “You are coming with me.”
Her hand was shaking in his as he pulled her out of the elevator and made straight for his rooms. He could hear the thrumming of her heart, the blood pumping through her body way too fast. Sweat was beading on the nape of her neck, her throat hot and tight, preventing her from taking deep, long breaths as she knew she should, and …
“Astarion, are you alright?” Thea’s tone was calm, not a trace of fear to be found.
And Astarion realized with a start that he was the one who was shaking.
Shit. This could not be happening.
Or: Mafia!Astarion has lots of feelings about his chemist girlfriend and needs to bang his way to a confession.

Summary
Zoraya Naelgrath is gearing up to start her own legal practice when a call from her past unexpectedly places her in the offices of Astarion Ancunin, a young magistrate known for his racial prejudice and various sex scandals that have made him the laughing stock of his colleagues. Tasked with preventing his dooming expulsion from office, Zoraya has no choice but to face the man who was once her best friend in the entire world, as well as her childhood crush. A crush that is, of course, ancient history now that Astarion is a perpetually hungover, selfish bastard interested in little else than cementing his standing among the elite of Baldur’s Gate – most notably Lord Cazador Szarr, an enigmatic nobleman with pale skin and an unsettlingly keen interest in Astarion.
"Beauty and the Beast" meets "Suits"
Or: What if Magistrarion had a badass half Gur childhood bestie who's definitely not in love with him and starts working for him right as a certain pale-faced, red-eyed nobleman gets ready to make his move?

Summary
“Fine,” she said. “Do you know the statistically most common way for the authorities to take out organized crime?”
Well, if that was her idea of enticing conversation, it was no wonder she had all those evenings free to chase after scoundrels like him. Still, Astarion didn’t want to antagonize her further and ruin the game, so he pursed his lips and guessed, “A very large, well-placed cannon?”
“Tax fraud.”
She looked at him as if she expected some sort of reaction – maybe a dramatic gasp? A palm flung to his forehead in a theatrical rendition of How could I not think of this?
Everything he could muster was a blink. “Tax … fraud.”
She nodded, obviously excited about what Astarion was sure were two of the most boring words in the English language, combined.

Summary
“I want you to do whatever you see fit,” she said. “I want to be completely and utterly at your mercy. I want you to use me. To take whatever you want from me until I’m crying and begging and neither of us can tell if it’s because I want you to stop or to go even harder.” She emphasized that last bit with a roll of her hips, grinding herself against him and—
Fuck, he was big.
Like, really big.
Surely, there was something else inside those trousers. A gun, probably. Yes, that’s what it was. A very normal, very gangster-y gun.
Or: The Mafia AU I never ended up writing, but I have a handful of banger scenes for it, so here we are.

Summary
Chariot Mademerry, in the wake of her father’s death and academic expulsion from Blackstaff University, makes some not-so-great decisions resulting in a daisy-chain of more not-so-great decisions. Bearing the weight of a monumental debt, a younger half-sister’s well-being, and a missing inheritance, she seeks the aid of Magistrate Astarion Ancunín. The pair work together to (not-so-legally) navigate Baldur’s Gate’s abhorrent legal system, and in doing so uncover a conspiracy that threatens more than just Chariot’s missing inheritance.
… Meanwhile, Astarion, in his plan to exploit Chariot’s good faith and healthily-sized inheritance, does not realize he signed up to become a social adviser for Baldur's Gate’s most anxious wreck of a mage who can hardly speak a full comprehensible sentence in Common. Nor does he expect to become awkward part-time stand-in-father-figure of aforementioned mage’s sulky little sister. Really, even if he is a disbarred magistrate, he should have read the fine print more thoroughly.

Summary
Tav woke up in an unfamiliar bed, with a bad headache and a bed companion in the shape of an archduke. Unfortunately for Tav, her memories were quite muddled. So when the lump next to her called her "wife", she may have been more than a little bit freaked out.
Or,
Enver Gortash woke up to find his wife trying to kill him. Again. This was all very inconvenient.
~~~
A story of love, one might say. But not these two. No, these two would say that their story was built upon death threats and late night barrelmancy negotiations, and Disintegration spells that missed and the Power Word Kill that didn't. Love was only the ambush Gortash walked into once, and Tav walked into twice.

Summary
“Do you come when you touch yourself?” he asked.
“What?” Her world had either stopped spinning or rapidly accelerated; she wasn’t sure.
“When you lie awake at night,” he purred, caressing clawed fingertips over the inside of her knee, “fucking yourself on your lovely fingers, do you climax then?”
She nodded. Why lie? A hot pulse of need bloomed in her cunt. This afternoon had already taken several turns, and at this point, she was just along for the ride.A series of bad hookups has Tav feeling less like a hero and more like a born reject. She sneaks into Sorcerous Sundries to look for a cure. She finds it—in the tower's new proprietor.

Barstarion plays reluctant babysitter to a mysterious dragon amidst a bunch of beautiful DnD lore. I'm learning so much here, folks.
