Summary
A collection of fics in a loose timeline/order about my tragic redeemed Dark Urge Tav'ira and her love Astarion - her Star. I only really know how to write angst and I have no idea how much or how little I will add. Get ready for some 'hurt/hurt/hurt/comfort that still kinda aches' content.
Title of the series from Sew Me Up by Spiritbox. Everything I write is heavily influenced by the music I listen to. Check the A/N of each fic for specific song recs. But here have a playlist: Spotify Tav'ira x Astarion Playlist [x]

Summary
For centuries, Astarion wanted nothing more than his freedom. Now that he has it, he finds himself falling into old habits to secure his protection—only to discover that Imara is not the easy target he thought she’d be. Though she has dark secrets of her own, her kindness, sharp wit, and even her ruthlessness surprise and delight him at every turn.
With Imara at his side, Astarion begins to understand that life has much more to offer than just surviving. His path toward healing won’t be an easy one, but he is determined to use his newfound freedom to reclaim his body—and his mind—so that he may finally begin to live again.

Astarion's Nice, Simple Plan That Fell Apart by UsuallyDyingInside
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
12 Apr 2024
Tags
Summary
Astarion had a plan. A nice, simple plan: seduce Tav, sleep with her, manipulate her feelings so she'd never turn on him.
All she had to do was fall for it.
And all he had to do was not fall for her.Which is where his nice, simple plan fell apart.
- - -
Exploring Astarion's POV throughout the game while romancing Dark Urge/Tav. Canon is followed in most cases, including with lines of dialogue from the game, but Act 2 and 3 break off from canon a few times in fun ways.Content warnings are listed ahead of the more intense chapters. Overall this fic (like the game) explores what healing from abuse looks like and has a lot of references to those themes.

Summary
"It's over. I'm done with it," Astarion's voice was a broken whisper, barely audible over his sobs. He was speaking to himself, affirming the end of a chapter steeped in torment. The sight was heartbreaking. Sad. He knelt there for a moment, as if trying to believe what had happened.
Then, rising from the ground and lifting his bloodshot eyes to meet Tav's, his expression twisted into something bitter and cold. "And I'm done with you," he spat out venomously.
Tav's step faltered, her hand still suspended in the air. Confusion and hurt welled up inside her. "What?" she stammered, her mind racing to make sense of his words. He was in shock, surely. The trauma, the bloodshed, it had to be too much.
But Astarion's voice cut through her thoughts, icy and trembling with a raw edge of emotion she had never heard before. "I would say good luck out there, but honestly?" His gaze was piercing, unyielding. "I hope you die." The words slithered out like a curse, each syllable dripping with a venom that chilled her to the bone.
Astarion narrowed his eyes, leaned towards her and whispered ominously, only to her. “Screaming.”

Summary
Astarion did not care for his new companions, not one bit. Between annoying wizards and a teifling literally on fire, it is all a bit much to deal with for the vampire spawn. The two women at the center of their group, however, take up the most of his attention. Tavera, the brave and noble ranger is the perfect fool to trick into becoming his defender. But the more he gets to know her, the harder using her becomes. Then there is the bard. Calanthe. Her quiet nature and watchful eyes unnerve Astarion. She sees past his masks and his charm, and he cannot stand it. Trying to find a solution to the tadpoles in their brain along with fixing the problems of every sap they come across was hard enough, but as Astarion is begrudgingly dragged along for the ride, he finds his relationships with these two women will change everything he thought he knew about himself.

Summary
Luna, a high-elf with magic at her fingertips just as fiery as her hair, has so far lived a sheltered life controlled by her father, who has recently sold away her hand in marriage to a wealthy but horribly abusive man. Just as she is beginning to feel as if her time is running out to ever escape the hellish reality her life has become, a nautiloid flies over Baldur’s Gate.
Unsure if she wants to return home to save her father from a lifetime of debt or use this tadpoled opportunity to run away forever, Luna finds herself falling into yet another predicament along the way: in love with a manipulative vampire.
- An in-depth retelling of the “in-between,” with more focus on interpersonal relationships than rehashing events that already play out in the game.- Written in first-person, diary-style POV to more realistically explore Luna’s feelings about Astarion’s deception.
Currently rewriting early chapters! See summaries for updates.

Summary
Martyrdom was always in the cards for her, but she never considered the complications that might arise from giving herself so fully, so deeply, so truly to the cause. Foxglove always knew she would die for Him, but to live? Living is harder.
.
.
.
or, a War cleric of Ilmater struggles through a new quest when she awakens, infected, on an illithid nautiloid. At first, she only sought to heal her allies - and herself, secondarily - but the plot thickens, the gods watch, and the way forward gets murkier every day in the shadow of an Archdruid and the light of love burning bright enough to rival Ilmater's halo.
.
.
.
(give this story a shot if you like: character study, a strong main character with a journey of her own, world-building and Faerun lore, complex moral choices, fantasy religious themes without the real-world prejudice, found family, and Halsin (duh). bonus points if you can wait through a canon-typical sloooooow burn leading up to more sex than you get in the game (lmao))- Language:

Summary
Some part of him could picture it then, could imagine telling her everything - speaking til dawn on his whole history. Spending the next day in this same spot, diving into what he knew of hers. Asking how it felt to gore that bard. Instead, he mirrored her smile - his own wicked grin for seducing and scheming.
“I’ve wanted to taste you since I first felt that pretty neck under my blade.”
And as her head fell back in a laugh, the white expanse of her neck on full display at his easy, overused line, he watched the golden girl fall into the palm of his hand.
---
COMPLETED.Astarion had known the woman's face immediately - Halia Dhune, the golden daughter of Baldur's Gate. The princess of the upper city. How many times had Cazador sent him after her - wanting to claim the socialite as a trophy to add to his awful collection? At least now he wouldn't have to go back to his master empty handed, should the tadpole situation not work out in his favor.
(or: what if the Dark Urge was a noble woman, perfect and popular, and her father's favorite fox in the henhouse. and of course, what if our dear vampire knew of her before the crash?)

Summary
Princess Amelia Vrecean wasn't built for adventure. Her delicate fingers were meant for silk, not swords, and her dazzling corsets hid a heart more accustomed to ballroom waltzes than bloody battles.
But after a failed assassination, the Princess had no choice but to run away and turn to a group of adventurers for help. Amelia needed to leave her life of luxury in the meantime if she wanted to survive.
In the camp, her new companions were welcoming, and a little too respectful toward her even. But when she stumbles upon the charismatic and mysterious vampire, Astarion, she quickly discovers that their mission will not be easy.
Astarion could make a checklist out of everything he hated about her. Her stubborn attitude, check. How she manages to control everyone with just a lift of her finger, check. Her ability to indirectly ruin plans, check. Her smile, the tone of her voice, her concerned stare after she saw him wounded on the ground… check, check check!
For Astarion, Amelia is a parasite leeching on everyone around her.
He might actually need to kill her himself.
But hey, wouldn't she make a delightful meal?

Summary
"I thought you might like it," I spoke so softly I worried the wind had carried my words away, but Astarion faced me, one eyebrow quirked in curiosity. My gaze flickered over to him, then swiftly away. "You do like it, don't you?"
"Yes, I do." There was a warmth there, in his voice. Not the melted chocolate, sun-warmed honey kind he could turn on and off at will, but something fonder. Clearer. Like the tinkling babbling of a stream and the rustling of leaves.
"Good, then."An Astarion fic that begins the night he tries to feed from you. First person female reader.

Summary
“Well,” he croons, “The fun doesn’t have to be entirely one-sided. Our time could very well be limited. You help me with my condition…and I could help you with yours.”
“My condition?” she asks, her eyebrows now arched to maximum height.
Astarion tilts his head. “Darling, it’s bad enough that we might burst into tentacles any day now. I would hate to see you die a virgin.”
-
Neve already had her hands full, what with trying to keep her companions from killing each other and pushing forward in the face of an uncertain fate. Then the vampire had to go and decide she was sweet enough to want to sink his teeth into.
Another take on how things unfold post-bite.
