Where Storms Reign by ashenpetals
Fandoms: Game of Thrones (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
06 Oct 2025

Summary
Lyanna Baratheon was born of storms — storms of blood, storms of crowns, storms of her own restless heart. Raised in the shadow of the Iron Throne, she was meant to be another pawn in the game of power. But fate led her north, to Winterfell, where her story began anew.
Neither wholly Southron nor Northern, she stands between wolves, lions, dragons, and storms — each will shape her path. Duty and legacy demand their price; justice and revenge leave their scars. And love, when it comes, is never the same twice.
Her tale is one of vows and betrayals, of survival and rebirth. Some she loves will fall, some she despises will rise, and through it all, she will endure — not as a queen who claims a throne, but as a storm that reshapes the world around her.
Where Storms Reign is a canon-divergent saga of war and vows, of the names we inherit and the ones we choose. The tale of a storm-born girl who learns that survival is not the end, but the beginning — and that her fate was never crowns, but legacy.Bookmarked by Reli_plays

Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
After Adelaide's car decides to take an unscheduled dive into the world of Baldur's Gate, she wakes up not with car keys, but with sand in her hands on a beach that's definitely not in Savannah, GA. Faerun? Seriously?
Navigating this new reality with the grace of a cat on roller skates, Adelaide wonders if her game save might be corrupted because surely, this can't be happening. Meanwhile, she's busy catching feelings for Astarion because, let's face it, who wouldn't fall for a vampire with more charm than a high-level bard?

Summary
Note: This story is now on permanent hiatus.
I am rewriting and reposting it under the original name, Threadbare.
Read it hereNora Feyre was a middle-aged math teacher with a sketchy past, questions about her identity, and an unhealthy enjoyment of killing.
Astarion was a vampire spawn who thirsted for blood, freedom, and revenge on his cruel master.
When a Mindflayer ship kidnaps them and drops them into a fight for survival, neither wants to catch feelings for anyone, let alone for each other. Even long after these two idiots had already fallen in love, it takes all of Karlach's best efforts to keep them from fucking it up.
A slow burn, canon-respectful but divergent retelling of the main plot of BG3. Emphasis on divergent.

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
Fen is hunted by her fate, haunted by a power she does not understand, bound in the wrath endued to her by Silvanus himself. When she falls under the spell of the rather intriguing vampire in camp, the boundaries of desire, control and autonomy blur, and she finds herself questioning everything she thought she understood of the natural order.
To survive, Fen must confront the tortures of her past, unravel the mystery of her fate, and determine whether she was chosen… or condemned.
A druid without connection. A Chosen without faith. Rage without control.
‘Save the Thousands. Break their curse. Bring them back to the Circle.’
When the God of the Wilds calls, is her destiny even hers to refuse?

Summary
Getting abducted by squids and infected with a Mind Flayer parasite was never part of Visenya’s plan to steal the Annals of Karsus for her client. Yet, as a dhampir with a traumatic past and sanguine hunger, she's no stranger to life chasing you with torches and pitchforks. Fortunately, she finds an unexpected ally in Astarion, who understands the struggle for autonomy and identity and her bloody world.
Join Visenya, Astarion, and the tadfools as they confront the horrors of Faerûn: Dark Urges, cults, and their own inner demons. Amidst the chaos, romance blossoms, friendships are forged, and morals collide in this epic slow-burn tale.
Will Visenya find love, acceptance, and her place in a world that fears her? Or will she succumb to the darkness within? Embark on this journey of adventure, self-discovery, and love as Visenya learns that sometimes, embracing your inner monster is the key to finding where you truly belong.
The title is borrowed from Hozier's song of the same name.
Larian owns everything, including my soul (does that make me a Warlock?…). Any resemblance between this and other works and/or real people is coincidental.

Summary
Astarion couldn’t stand their party leader Lark. She was frustratingly naive, needlessly generous, and got them all into situations they could have easily avoided by prioritizing themselves over random strangers. Hells, he could think of three reasons his hatred was justified from today alone.
Which is why it was so peculiar to find himself trailing her as she tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to slip away from the camp.
OR
Lark is a bard who doesn’t act much like a bard, and Astarion’s determined to find out why. He just gets a little…distracted along the way.

Summary
The vampire's eyes are wide and round, full of amazement. They dart wildly around the sights below, as if trying to see everything at once. The lights of the city reflect upon his face, soft shadows dancing across his elegant features. The very tips of his fangs are visible from his parted lips.
The radiance of the city pales in comparison.
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧
Two months after the brain falls, Baldur's Gate has picked up most of the pieces. The heroes that saved Faerûn have been there through most of it, helping the city get back on its feet. But now it's time to move on. Old lives and families to return to. Gale is going back to his tower in Waterdeep, back to the quiet, back to being alone; or at least, that was the plan. But plans change.
This is a story about falling in love.

Summary
What happens when a modern bg3 player with a fear of death gets isekai'ed into the game's main story, accidentally landing in one of the NPC's body? Their chance of surviving the world of Faerun is almost 0, the only thing they have is knowledge, tactics, and around 500 hours of gameplay with some DnD knowledge. They need to think strategically in order to stay alive and lay out a plan, to stick with the tadpole gang and follow the main story is their best chance of survival and figure out what happened... right???
(God why couldn't they just land in Stardew Valley or smt)
MC's original appearance is not described, referred as they/them since they r a blank slate

Summary
Eirela Rainheart was in danger of loving Astarion the moment she felt the storm inside of her reach out to him. But as an elven noble living in Baldur’s Gate, she had a duty to perform. A duty of matrimony. When Astarion confesses he feels something for her, Eirela hesitantly suggests that they should remain friends instead. But a friendship as thick as thieves falls apart when Eirela announces she’s entering an arranged marriage after they beat the Elder Brain.
Five years later, Eirela’s life as she knows it flips upside down when her marriage comes to an unexpected end, and is outcasted by her family. In her despair, Astarion finds her shattered and broken by her impending divorce. When Astarion decides to assist Eirela in finding herself again, she finds that repairing her friendship with him is easier than she thought it would be. And it was even more effortless for the feelings she’d repressed for him to resurface yet again.
Basically, a friends-to-lovers story about my storm sorcerer Tav finding herself with the help of Astarion. Chapters alternate between a five-year time skip and Acts 1-3 (plus epilogue) in the game. Mostly from my Tav's perspective with some POV from Astarion.
