Slow burn, and becoming a lot longer and more detailed than this writer expected. I apparently can’t just write some good old fashioned smut. I have to make it devastating first. Torture first, sex later.Bookmarked by DassyStar

Summary
It was dark when she woke up in a room full of tomes and glass vials. Someone had been dismembered and thrown throughout the room, someone she knew but couldn't quite remember. Her thoughts were scrambled and hazy, constantly being infiltrated by the pain of hunger in her stomach.
Cazador feels like his little family is missing something, a pet of course. He seems to have stumbled upon a rather rare specimen at the slave auction one night and decides to buy her. A creature with vampirism and lycanthropy? Even better! She will make a loyal doggy once she's been trained up a bit by Gody.
“Would you like to give her a name?”
“Marigold. She will make such a lovely pet.”
Or: Cazador buys a supposed werepire at auction thinking he can keep her docile with werewolf suppressant and Gody's ‘encouragement’. Little does he know what he's actually brought into his crypt. Marigold's origin if she was taken in by Cazador, lots of trauma bonding in this fic ❤️

Summary
If the desperation in his eyes and the heartbreak on his face hadn’t already been enough to break you, the tremble in his voice would have done it. And even without all that, how could you ever say no to this man? He who stood beside you as you discovered your lost self. He who remained beside you when you learned your cursed history. He who bound the knots of your restraints and stroked your hair through the night, even as you writhed and fought to end his life. He helped you gain your freedom from the damnation of your birth. How could you possibly deny helping him with his own freedom?
But, says a voice in your head, seven thousand souls.
----
A story in which we discover just how damned an ascended vampire can be, and just how far you will go to save the elf you loved.

Summary
Two hundred years ago to the day, Lyra had stood opposite Astarion in a temple of Ilmater and dedicated herself to him for all eternity. And maybe, despite the years they had spent apart, she had meant it after all. Maybe she would never belong to anyone else. Maybe she could come home again.
~~~
Aeterna Amantes, lovers forever… or so they thought. Two hundred years after the Battle for the Gate, two hundred years after Lyra joined Astarion in eternity as his Dark Consort, the couple finds themselves living separate lives. After many lifetimes together, building a coven and traveling the realm, they seem to have lost their way. It’s been six years since Lyra has returned to the Gate, until an invitation to her favorite spawn’s wedding means a trip home and, of course, seeing Astarion again.
Told through journal entries, memories, and alternating POV, follow our Vampire Ascendant and his Dark Consort as they navigate love, family, and falling in love again and again.
This is the sequel to What You Made Me to Be, the story of Lyra and Astarion defeating the Absolute and the year that followed, but can be enjoyed standalone as well!

Summary
"He’s too obvious, thinking he’s bluffing, but the moment the suit jacket came off, so did some of the veneer of the powerful, calculating businessman and it was so easy to see the eager softness beneath. Astarion’s learned never to underestimate the power of a costume, or of removing it."
***
Expert art and antiquities fraudster Astarion Ancunin knows what he does best - the long con. After weeks of careful planning he's zeroed in on his latest mark, the famous, handsome, billionaire venture capitalist: Gale Dekarios. Gaining access to his luxury penthouse full of priceless works is easy enough. What he didn't bank on being difficult is keeping his focus on his job, and not on his target's gorgeous eyes and far-too-talented mouth.
A short, modern AU Bloodweave fic that is a shameless vehicle for filth.

Summary
When Ari Trevelyan (M.Tav) wakes with a new wriggling bestie in his head, it's really a lot less alarming than it should be. He's used to constantly feeling like he's on the verge of losing all control and dying dramatically in a gory explosion. When neither your past OR your future feel safe from the fire in your veins, you tend to turn into a self-destructive flirt with no real direction. Life loses its charms.
Lucky for Ari, Astarion has enough charm to fell mountains and redirect rivers. And lucky for Astarion, a beautiful, self-destructive flirt with no real direction AND powerful magic is exactly the type of person he wants wrapped around his finger. Or...the rest of him, too? Why does Astarion like this delightfully deadly, deranged wild shape so much? And why does it feel like his wild shape's peculiar eyes can see right through him? Like their agonies echo each other in the dark?
In which two survivors find each other and begin to heal.
Both M.Tav and Astarion POV.
READ IF YOU: wanted to drape Tav's cloak over Astarion's shaking shoulders, enjoy deeply emotional writing, and love consent/emotional intimacy in your smut ♡Series

Summary
For centuries, Astarion wanted nothing more than his freedom. Now that he has it, he finds himself falling into old habits to secure his protection—only to discover that Imara is not the easy target he thought she’d be. Though she has dark secrets of her own, her kindness, sharp wit, and even her ruthlessness surprise and delight him at every turn.
With Imara at his side, Astarion begins to understand that life has much more to offer than just surviving. His path toward healing won’t be an easy one, but he is determined to use his newfound freedom to reclaim his body—and his mind—so that he may finally begin to live again.

a crooked touch (Astarion x m!Tav) by eyes_of_the_lamb
Fandom Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
16 Nov 2024
Summary
“Make it hurt, then. Kiss me like you want to kill me.”
“I can do that.”
Two broken stars in a decaying orbit, passing closer and closer together until the inevitable, devastating collision.
Or, Tav is fucked up and down bad for Astarion, who doesn't quite see the appeal (but he's getting there). Sexual frustration, sloppy handjobs, a heavy dose of masochism, and way too many failed Insight checks ahead. Tav falls first, Astarion falls harder (eventually).
Or, a tragic-but-hopeful romance told through a series of incredibly ill-advised sexual encounters.
If you want to read a story where Astarion is sweet from the start and Tav is here to fix him, this isn't the one. If you want to read about two terribly broken men spending a good long while making each other worse before they make each other better, this might be for you. If you thought the in-game romance was a little too easy and it should have been ten times more painful and difficult to convince Astarion he's worthy of love, this is definitely for you.
Set during the canonical events of Baldur's Gate 3.

Summary
Gale looks up, surprised.
‘No,’ he says. ‘Astarion, you’re beautiful.’
Astarion scoffs. He cannot fathom it: beautiful. What is beautiful about vampirism? About spilled blood? About death and predation and starvation?

Summary
For one moment she was all blood, and in that moment he wanted to devour her.
two monsters stumble into camaraderie and try not to get themselves too bloodied. they fail spectacularly.
astarion/durge, solely astarion's pov. game reconstruction/divergence, no canon scenes or dialogue after the nautiloid. lots of art, updates fridays, semi pre-written. heavy on the trauma, heavy on the humour.

Summary
She nods, her eyes skimming over the lists. "Oh, I'm sorry, could you have this translated? I'm afraid my Elvish isn't quite there yet."
“Elvish? That's all plain common.” he replies, as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.
“All of it?” she repeats, incredulous.
Thiriann suppresses a sigh. She'll be in for a long night.
"Alright. And for which date do you want them delivered?”
"Oh,delivery won't be necessary. I'll have them tonight."
Thiriann's eyes widen. "Tonight?" she echoes, disbelief coloring her voice. The sheer volume of the order, coupled with the strange, almost archaic language, is overwhelming. And on top of that, the list is handwritten.
She tries to read a few of the items but can't make heads or tails of it, his handwriting, while graceful as all elven handwriting seems to be, is also nearly impossible to decipher. There's no doubt this man has a history in medicine.

Summary
Vengeance. This was what had led her back to Baldur's Gate. But it had been denied to her when she found herself on a Nautiloid only moments later, destined to stumble into a journey that would change everything. So far, things went well. The parasite in her skull proved useful, and the chance of surviving all the madness and returning to the city grew ever closer. But then she enters a cursed land, and its shadows haunt her. And as if that were not enough, she finds herself trapped in the leader's position, surrounded by conflicts with her companions and caught up in an affair she should rather avoid.
