Summary
The hand removed itself from his forehead. “Temperature is normal,” Gale announced, before using its fingers to gather some stray drool that had trailed down Astarion’s jaw. Before Astarion could register the pitiful jolt of arousal at the sudden skin contact or the sheer absurdity of what Gale was doing, Gale had stuck its fingers in its mouth.
“What the —”
“No new bacteria detected,” Gale went on, “Ruling out food poisoning.”
“Oh, Gods,” Astarion groaned. “And to think that these things are what’s sending our workforce into a tizzy. What next, 'droid? Are you about to give me a rectal examination too?”
“There is no need for one at the moment,” Gale said, confused. “Unless you are seeking prostate stimulation—”
“No!”
Amidst the softly thrumming melancholy of a dystopian, cyber-punk city, former corporate-rat Astarion Ancunín, who has long since lost the will to live, finds himself in possession of a G-413 or "Gale" - an amnesiac android who, strangely enough, enjoys living.

Summary
It takes a few more loops to learn the right way to go about things. But death is a swift teacher, and oh, darling, do you learn. You memorize speeches, you memorize character quirks. You school your expressions. You modulate your voice. Eventually you play the companions well enough that they vote you leader as soon as they pitch the next campsite. But it’s not enough. Sometimes, staring up at the roof of your tent, you find yourself wondering how much of you is left when you die.
Are you really just meat? Or is it that you’re something else?

Summary
The Netherbrain is defeated, and all of his companions have something to return to. With Bhaal’s blood purged from his veins and Jergal granting him a second chance at life, the Druid is forced to grapple with an existential crisis, plagued by phantom memories and emotions long kept under lock and key.
Unfortunately, Astarion is a master lock-picker — and doesn’t leave well enough alone.OR
A post-canon adventuring story focused on the relationship between two men reckoning with their own traumas. Too bad the world doesn’t pause just because the BBEG is defeated.
Separate warning tags are provided at the top of each chapter when relevant.
This story engages with trauma and difficult choices. While love is central to it, comfort is not always guaranteed.Series

Summary
There was something in Astarion's voice that Elric wasn’t catching– the reason why a paladin like him was still alive in the first place. Blood welled up in a hot line across his windpipe, the dagger digging in, and Astarion’s breathing deepened as it trickled down El’s neck. The reality of it washed over him like rain.
“You want me,” he said.
“To be mine,” Astarion said, soft, “as you promised.”

Or: a dark fantasy twist on the Ascension and its aftermath, and what it means to make choices you can't take back.

Or: Psst. Come closer. Yeah, you. This is the absolute opposite of a redemption fic. A post-canon, fall-from-grace, "I can make you infinitely worse" kind of story, in which there is no simple happy ending. But there's mystery on the way. And dragons. True love, even. So if you're fine with that, come aboard. It's going to be a wild ride.

Summary
It’s clear that Tav Demond is a devoted sort of man: devoted to the bakery that bears his family name, devoted to his younger sisters' happiness. He’s also hopelessly devoted to flirting with Astarion every time the spawn stops into the shop, just before dawn each day, to buy a handful of pretty cakes that neither he, nor his victims, ever truly get to enjoy. Astarion, for his part, thinks of Tav as just another potential mark.
But when Astarion finds himself drawn to the bakery kitchen after a flight from Cazador—and when Tav tells him he can stay—it’s hard to think of a better use for the man's devotion than as a shield.
A "Kiki's Delivery Service" style Bakery AU still set in Faerûn, no tadpoles. Astarion x m!Tav.
