Summary
Much to his chagrin, Astarion's life isn’t so very different from most people’s. He lives in a shitty apartment complex. He rides the bus to a low-paying job that he hates. The material realities of his existence keep him from following his dreams.
To be fair, Astarion does happen to be better-looking than most of us. And he’s a vampire, too.
But even though neither of those things seem to make our jaded vampire barista’s closing shift any less tedious, the arrival of his gorgeous new coworker, Adelaide, just might. And the excitement doesn’t end there; because Adelaide might also have a stalker, whose behavior grows bolder and more threatening with every passing day…

Summary
Two years of shared mornings, quiet evenings, and a love Astarion thought was unshakeable, gone in an instant. When he and Tavitha are ripped from their modern life and thrust into the world of mind flayers and medieval horrors, he remembers nothing of the life they've built together.
As familiar strangers navigate an unfamiliar world, Tav must help the man she loves survive experiences neither of them was ever meant to live through. And while Astarion struggles to reconcile fragments of an impossible past with the nightmare he now inhabits, Tav deals with revelations of a past completely foreign to her.

Summary
Astarion Ancunín has built his reputation on one simple rule: never become romantically involved with clients. As Baldur's Gate premier matchmaker, he's successfully paired hundreds of people while keeping his own heart carefully locked away.
Until Octavia Fallguard walks into his office—his brother's ex. A pole dancing instructor with impossibly high standards, a clever tongue, and zero tolerance for his usual charm. She knows exactly what she wants in a partner; and what she doesn't want is her ex's insufferably arrogant brother deciding her love life for her.
But when every date ends in disaster, and their professional relationship evolves into something far more personal, the lines between duty and desire become dangerously blurred.
Starring Chip as Octavia and Vak as Astarion in this summer's messiest romcom.

Summary
Illario's charming, sure. But inside, he's a mess, tempered only by the peace Rook provides him with. Unfortunately, it seems as though Fate wants nothing more than to see them fail, and to make a future filled with love unattainable.
But also, he's selfish, so there's that. 😬

Summary
Strix really likes doing things outside. And while Justice Astarion Ancunín may not be much of an outdoors person, historically, he really likes Strix. So, two months into the ongoing liaison that began with a jury summons, he agrees to let her take him on an overnight backpacking trip.
Miles are bagged. Elevation is gained. Astarion generously, and judiciously blesses us all with anecdotes (and gossip) from his work life, while Strix bestows a few bird facts, among other things.
Of course, it should go without saying (if you're at all familiar with my oeuvre) that this wholesome excursion features a few horny shenanigans and a blood-sucking incident or two. But also: heart-to-hearts, bonding, Baudelairon, and perhaps even a tiny bit of backstory...

Summary
Mayrina’s mind raced, her fear mingling with a dawning realization.
He was doing this on purpose.
The casual revelation, the mocking tone, the way he loomed just close enough to make her flinch—it was all a performance, designed to unsettle her, to push her away. He’d called her a weakling, a liability, in the argument she’d overheard, and now he was trying to scare her into running from the camp.Or:
Following Auntie Ethel’s defeat, the Dark Urge offers Mayrina shelter at the campsite until they reach Baldur’s Gate. Astarion isn’t exactly pleased.- Language:
