Summary
Astarion thought this stupid hot sauce show would last a season or two before it was cancelled. Ten years later, he’s still Cazador’s sidekick, taking potshots for laughs and enduring worse abuse when the cameras stop rolling.
An upcoming guest—famed magician Gale Dekarios—has never seen an episode of Hot Mess, and he’s about to shake things up.

Summary
Wyll stood in the cool squalor of night, nursing a sad goblet of the tiefling refugees’ best wine as he stewed in his own misery.
Just days ago, he had been nestled among them, teaching their children the necessary tools of defense. In the days after the mind flayers had forced an Illithid tadpole into his eye, Wyll found himself scrambling for purpose — to find a way to prove himself useful despite the horror that had chased him. He had been a piece of a larger puzzle, a valiant hero fulfilling his sacred duty: he had been the Blade of Frontiers!
Now, in the biting air of the night, he just felt spurned.
Provoke the Blade, suffer its sting.
Wyll kicked the tip of his foot against the sandy soil of the riverbed. Then he kicked it again, for good measure.

Summary
Astarion knows what it’s like to be free - or, at least he can remember when that was the case. He was a conqueror of the seas, an apex predator; now he’s little more than an exotic pet, put on display for Cazador Szarr’s esteemed guests to gawk at. He’s almost resigned himself to his fate when one of the esteemed guests isn’t quite like the others. Wyll Ravengard is the son of the Grand Duke; after a lifetime of living in his father’s shadow, he is finally finding his own path.
When an invitation arrives for a charity ball, Wyll finds himself thrust into a world littered with political deals gone sour, bribes, and the most beautiful creature - no, the most beautiful man - he’s ever seen. However, things aren't always what they seem, and it isn't long before Wyll has questions about Cazador's intentions - as well as the truth about the mysterious Star.Bookmarked by Marsbar221

Summary
“Pink?” Shadowheart offers, “I don't understand this aversion to one of your favorite colors. Shouldn't they get to know the real you?”
Astarion considers the question a beat too long. What does that even mean, the real Astarion?
Is that the precocious creature clinging to her mother's skirts with a mop of ringlets down her back? Is that the honor roll student who pretended to be failing to have an excuse to flirt? Is that the fashion major with a minor in embroidery? Is that the girl who has always wanted to kiss a girl, but was always a magnet for boys?

Summary
In the modern world of Toril, magic and devils and the like are believed to be relics of the distant past. But 34-year-old Wyll Ravengard knows all too well that these things still lurk in the corners of his own city, Baldur’s Gate, where he fights every day in the arena of the courtroom for his clients who have no one else by their side. One mundane morning, he meets one of his semi-regulars in lockup, Astarion Ancunín, a rare elf remaining in this world. What seems like one of Astarion’s usual street-level run-ins with the law explodes into something much more—something touching the highest levels of the city-state’s government and infernal planes beyond. Wyll struggles against the forces in and out of the system that wish to use Astarion, and at the same time contends with his own long-sleeping pact with a higher power which will lead him and Astarion on a journey far beyond the familiar confines of the Gate.
