Summary
Astarion used to be amazing. He inspired Vistri, and now she's the amazing one. Some out-of-touch corporate wizard decided to bring them together for the media attention (and thus, piles of coin). Can these independent, disastrous, bitter, insecure winners work together as Pair skaters? Or will they burn both of their legacies to the ground?

Summary
The red-headed ranger was everything he was, and everything he wasn't. Sharp-shooting, quiet, and the biggest bleeding heart in all of Baldur's Gate, Sequoia was dangerous in a way Astarion hadn't experienced before. With a heart he could hardly hear beating and a stoic expression that rarely cracked, every defense vanished from his hands as she undid him piece by piece. Like pages of a book fluttering to the ground in turn.
"Are you hoping to scare me off?" she asked.
He knew the answer to his own question before it lashed from his tongue. “Is it working?”
The ranger closed the distance between them, and he could feel the heat emanating from her in waves. Temptation of her daunting, rushing blood far more suffocating than the humidity would ever be.
"It'll take a lot more than that."
...
In which I give my tav the angsty, slow burn romance she deserves so Withers can stop dissing her. As well as deep diving Astarion's trauma along the way.

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
The baron is dead, but the recently-widowed baroness still isn't free from his clutches. Suffocating in her gilded cage, Vistri runs off into the woods alone and happens upon a rakish stranger who might just be the key to her ruin. To shedding respectability and the weight of her late-husband's great name.
Closer now, his scent whispered to her through the forest lush. Sweet herbs and a hint of brandy that grew stronger as he spoke.
“Do you require assistance?” he asked; a tender voice with rabid eyes.
Vistri couldn't know which of the infinite possibilities would occur if she said yes, but nodded anyway.

Summary
A year after the fall of the Elderbrain, the tiefling vampire Astarion seeks to walk in the sun once more. His quest leads him to break into the vault of a powerful wizard, finding not some fabled artifact to steal, but a woman branded by an Infernal curse. Flare is used to devils stealing what they want; her body has been a bargaining chip for her master's deals when he wasn't busy experimenting with her blood. Despite his appearance, Astarion proves he's nothing like her tormentors. He spirits her away to live with him and the druid Halsin while his companions hunt through Avernus for the incubus that marked her. Astarion kindles desire within her, but her upbringing has taught her pleasure is never without pain. Astarion knows the path to healing is a long and difficult one, that the terrors of the past creep back. Together, they explore intimacy, the tenderness and gentle touch that they were once forbidden from.
A slow burn romance between two souls once broken, featuring tiefling Astarion and many batstarion cuddles.

Summary
Look out for the redone version, Seek the Stars
Locked from commenting as this is an old version; retained for archival reasons
--
Jenrila Blackthorn would have been hard-pressed to find someone more different to her than Astarion Ancunin was. A paladin, oathbound to Helm, and a city guard for Baldur's Gate versus a poncy high-society elf who seemed to have nothing but complaints to levy at every single situation they were in. Thrown together by bad luck and a shared mind flayer parasite infection, the two are forced to work alongside each other and a ragtag group of similarly-infected individuals to find a solution to their problem.
And, maybe, the two can find common ground amongst all the chaos, a refuge in each other, and perhaps learn to tolerate their opposing half in something that approaches but isn't quite yet a relationship.

Summary
A year has passed since the fall of the Absolute. Astarion and Ren have settled into life in Baldur's Gate. While they expected love that was formed in the heart of battle to transform in domestic life, neither of them quite expected what that would look like for their relationship. They certainly hadn't considered that Astarion's vampirism still presented unknown challenges. Domestic life once again becomes adventurous as they get the gang back together for another quest, only this time, the only monster to beat is Astarion's curse.
Also known as: The Gang Searches for a Vampire Cure.
I promise the story is better than the summary. I swear.Bookmarked by Pickel182

Summary
“I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”
“I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”
“The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”
“Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

The Vampire Ascendent has crossed a line. Eleven years after making the biggest mistake of her life and losing the man she loved, tiefling wizard (now Archmage) Rosalie decides it’s time to put this Astarion in the ground for good. Hopefully, both her head and her heart are strong enough to see this awful task through to its end.

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
You managed to convince Astarion not to go through with the Rite of Profane Ascension. He remains a vampire spawn, and you now offer your blood from time to time to help with his sanguine hunger until a solution is found.
Even though you had both decided to stay as friends back at Moonrise Towers, lines begin to blur once more as other cravings come to the surface… and things with Astarion are seldom uncomplicated.
_____________
Impatience gripped your nerves ferociously. "These things take time, Astarion."
"Oh, my darling… I have all the time in the world, but you only have a limited supply of blood," he whispered softly and you could almost taste his taunting words.

Summary
Tavya watched Astarion's eyes scan the name written across the front. Once, twice, three times. Then he looked to her, nearly stunned into silence. “I— What is this?”She gently tugged the envelope from his grasp. “I wrote to them. Your family. Or, well, your parents, anyway," Tavya stuttered. "I searched and searched and I finally found names and an address, but it’s been so long since I've written… I didn’t think…”
“You… found them?” he asked numbly.
“I… I think so.”
* * * * *
Astarion is enjoying married life in Baldur's Gate when he discovers his parents are still alive. Alongside his wife, Tavya, he travels to Evereska to meet them - but family reunions are seldom simple.
