Summary
Astarion has been running for centuries. Surviving in a world that wants him, and others like him dead. The modern, radicalized Gur kill monsters on site, displaying their corpses as examples.When he finds himself in the isolated, wooded town of Moonwood Valley, starvation and desperation drive him to a decision that may change the course of his life, for better or worse.
A foreboding forest that ensnares the unwary. A folkloric "Beast" the locals speak about in fearful whispers. And a strange recluse that is far more than meets the eye.

Summary
Astarion should have died that night. In the story we know he did exactly that. Here, things went a little differently and he is very much alive.
However, healing magic has its limitations, and the Astarion who survived is markedly different from the one that fell to the Gur's clubs.
A month into recovery, he's still coming to terms with his loss of independence. Bedbound, partially mute, and being cared for by the same person who saved him in the first place: his mother. Apparently her adventuring days didn't fully end, even after decades of playing at being a proper Upper City wife.
Even worse, soon his beloved father decides caring for Astarion is a waste of time and resources, and tries to convince his mother to send him to... somewhere, anywhere, else.
It's amazing, what you start to notice when you're forced to stop and pay attention to people not named Astarion. So many aspects of his world and family, he now sees all too clearly. Out of the one eye that still works, anyway.
Updates every other Wednesday!

Summary
"New round here, right? Living down here in the Discards is hard enough without the shit-storm of winter and all it brings. You a Psion? I'll sell you some suppressors. Trade you for a battery. Wait - you got some food? Gave my last to that Carver Dolly for a tune-up. Hard getting room with her lately, though. Heard she's running with the rebs. Y'know. Princey's Pawns."
----Doll Parts is a tale of the intertwined lives of survival in a tumultuous winter beneath a dystopian Vlaakith Empire.
Of a formerly Mastered Doll, Vanquish, now a Carver, living amongst the lowest of society in the Discard Downs.
Of a disgraced old githyanki, Voss, adjusting to civilian life after most of his spent inside prison.
Of an heir to the Empire conspiring to tear it all down from within, Orpheus, if he could just open his eyes for long enough to care.- Language:

Summary
"I kissed you, and even the dark turned gentle for a while."
Bernadette is a 34-year-old Midwestern retail manager who just wanted a quiet Friday night with her Bath & Body Works candle, her current BG3 playthrough, and her vampire smut.
Instead, a cursed journal yanks her into Baldur’s Gate. She expects to be dead in an hour.
What she doesn’t expect is that the game lied.
Cazador Szarr isn’t the cartoon villain she spent hundreds of hours hating. He’s a traumatized Kozakuran warlock bound by a devil’s pact, quietly culling the worst of the city to buy back his soul. And Astarion? The tragic elf she romanced on every playthrough? He’s a corrupt, narcissistic libertine who built his own cage.
Now at the epicenter of Cazador’s centuries-old Faustian endgame, Bernadette has to survive a palace full of feral vampire spawn, navigate the cutthroat politics of the Upper City, and most dangerously, stop herself from falling for the very monster the game told her to destroy.

Summary
“This is education. You need to understand the procedure. The sensations. The healing. The way the body can respond to a foreign object.”
Cazador Szarr runs Sanguis INK. He didn't want an apprentice, and he especially didn't want a silver-blonde whelp in Birkenstocks who pierced his own septum with a safety pin.
But Vellioth tells him to take the kid, and so the hazing begins. Over three months of grueling shop work, brutal body modifications, and shifting boundaries, Cazador's annoyance curdles into something else. He's going to take his new apprentice apart piece by piece, just so he can be the one to put him back together.

Summary
There's a gala at the Szarr Palace tonight, and Astarion is being punished.
Neither of these is particularly unusual.
What is unusual, though, is the guest list. Dalyria has discovered plenty of strange names, including a group of vampire royals and a number of devils straight from the Hells. What is the Master planning?
Astarion doesn't know, and he doesn't care. He just needs to tailor the Szarr family's outfits and seduce as many partygoers as possible so Cazador may finally allow him some blood. All he must do is turn off his thoughts, give the guests a night to remember, and move on. It's utterly routine.
Or it should be. But nothing is ever so straightforward when devils and vampires mix.
[Possibly a little heavy-handed on the tags but just being safe]

Summary
Enver Gortash is the CEO of Absolute Technologies. He’s on top of the world, he has a new AI venture, a gamer babe girlfriend, the watch and car collection of his dreams. Can you blame him if he displays a bit of hubris to his legions of techbro follower employees during his annual company holiday party?
Saya’s father certainly can blame him, and will use it to further his own goals. Caught between two tech world legends, venture capitalist Patrick Bane and data analytics entrepreneur Steve Bhaal, the two must navigate the fallout of the exposure of their relationship as business is forcefully mixed with pleasure.
When Absolute.ai’s newest project itself is a sex robot – ahem, an AI companion – perhaps they should be prepared for it…

Don't Feed It (It Will Come Back) by darkheartedrose for HermeticPrinciples

Summary
She’d heard stories before, about accepting food from strangers who turned out to be hags or other nefarious fey creatures. But Marleth was fairly certain that hags only took the form of women. And, despite the something that bothered her, this man seemed harmless enough.
Her stomach grumbled loudly, deciding for her. The stranger shot her a knowing grin.
“Come, sit.” He gestured at a spot across from him, near the small cookfire. “Share a meal with me.”

Decades after Gale becomes the god of cooking, a halfling bard encounters a mysterious stranger on the road.

Summary
Hands reach out from the audience, grasping blindly as Gale walks the perimeter of the stage. Faintly, someone shouts out their undying adoration. Another screams their need to taste his sweat. Try as he might, Astarion simply cannot reconcile this man with the buttoned-up and bookish wizard he’s known for five centuries.
“Now, this next song is a personal favourite of mine.”
Gale tosses the barely-burnt stick to the ground, grinds it beneath a boot. His voice goes sinfully low as he presses his lips up against the mic.
“Worship,” he breathes out, lids fluttering. “With me.”
Five hundred years of freedom has prepared Astarion for anything. Except, as it turns out, his old friend Gale somehow ending up as one of Faerûn's hottest rockstars.

Summary
Gale is busy running "The Orb" and hiding his feelings from the sexy delivery driver Astarion. But they exchange books and they are flirting (aren't they?) and maybe this could be something good. Of course Gale's soulmate died before he was even born, but that can't mean he will be alone forever, right?

Summary
“Oh, goodness, my manners,” Gale starts, “I’m Gale Dekarios. You may have met my mother, or one of my aunts, or perhaps even my uncle. Or none of them, and they just have heard of you…” The elf tilts his head just a little. Gale continues, “At any rate. They heard you didn’t have any family coming to visit for Simril, and thought you ought to at least have something to eat.” Nevermind that it was a flimsy excuse to have Gale come talk to the most ethereal twunk in the world!
Astarion gives the foil-covered dish a skeptical look, and then gives Gale a considering look. He shrugs. “Come inside, then. You look pathetic.”
That, Gale thinks, is probably true.

Summary
“Can’t sleep, my dear?”
Gale barely startles at his beloved’s smooth tenor. Cool breath ghosts the shell of his ear like the night breeze.
“It’s a beautiful night,” Gale murmurs in lieu of an answer— or perhaps it *is* his answer. What roused him from sleep and drew him to the balcony is long gone from his mind, replaced only with air perfumed by the sea and the inky sky before him.
———
A sleepless night in Waterdeep leads to contemplation.

Summary
Part 1: Gale has always touted the supreme intelligence of his beloved cat, Tara. So much so, that his housekeeper, Auntie Ethel, bought the little sweetie a whole series of talking buttons (and even programmed them!).
Gale hasn’t even heard yet what all the buttons say. Perhaps the evening he finally decides to take the next step with his sexy elven boyfriend wasn’t the best time to find out.Part 2: It’s Astarion’s birthday—a day which, for most of his life, meant a day riddled with fear and debasement. He hates his birthday. Or thought he did.
Between his doting neighbor—Old Man Withers—his standoffish Sphinx cat Hiss Majesty, and his loving boyfriend—one Professor Gale Dekarios—Astarion might just find the strength to leave what’s past behind him.Part 3: In the whirlwind chaos of moving in together, Astarion has a proposal for Gale that sends the professor spiraling into memories of a time best left forgotten. With the added stress of introducing Tara and Hiss Majesty to each other, hoping they don't kill one another, the social pressure of a house-warming party, and the cruelty of a former lover roaring to the forefront of his thoughts, Gale might just have reached his breaking point.

Summary
Perhaps he was looking a bit too comfortable, because as he pulled his laptop from his bag, the gray cat a few tables down rose into a languid stretch and began a leisurely stroll in his direction. It was a bit funny looking, its head crooked slightly to the side and its steps a bit unsure. Though Astarion was certain he was about to get a face full of tuna breath, the cat paused a short distance away, content to sit and stare.
Lovely.

Astarion is the deeply under-appreciated social media manager for ProFang Ascension, an online media company, where he is constantly trying to put out the fires started by his terrible boss. Fortunately for him, his dear friend Shadowheart has just the thing to help him decompress- a voucher for the sleepy little cat café she works at.
Or, a slow-paced, laid-back, extremely fluffy first meeting between an Astarion who is trying really hard to have a bad time, and a very tired Gale who will ensure that does not happen.

“Good,” Astarion hums before loosening his grip and absent-mindedly stroking his fingers through Gale’s hair once more. It’s an easy gesture. Comforting, even.
But Gale’s slow breaths against his skin remind him to stay focused. Tonight is for his lover, not him.
