Summary
Tav broke their agreement by handing the Crown of Karsus to Mystra instead of Raphael. Not only that, but she also robbed his house and killed his incubus. Raphael is patient and he is determined to get his revenge. Tav gets chained to the House of Hope with constructs similar to those of Prince Orpheus'. When her friends eventually come to save her and brings him back his Orphic Hammer, Raphael will kill each and every one of them in front of her before claiming what is rightfully his: her soul...
…Tav isn't too bothered. She will figure something out eventually. Until then she just has to find a way to live peacefully with a devil.

Summary
Tav wakes up, hands covered in blood, confusion stirring in her mind. She is plagued by fragmented memories of a past she can not recall. A devil from her dark history emerges, offering knowledge of who she once was, at a price. She begins to struggle to fight her urge to kill, with the growing promise of power and her memories resurfacing. She must weigh the cost of fighting her instinct, or surrendering to it, at the risk of losing herself forever.
((This story will stray from the canon at times))

Summary
After a forfeited university scholarship and four wasted years with a woman who ultimately stranded her and left her for dead on a deserted stretch of Amnian highway, Miriam is determined to finally get her life back on track. What she didn't plan for was finding out the attractive stranger she's been anonymously hooking up with the week before classes began would turn out to be her physics professor for the semester.
The right thing to do would be to call it off and never speak of it again.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, Miriam's never been particularly good at doing the right thing.

Summary
This story takes place after the main storyline of the game has ended and Tav has passed away. However, they are an elf and have been reincarnated once more.
Astarion knows this and has been waiting for the day he can be reunited with his love again.
The trick? Astarion won't tell Tav his name until they remember it for themselves.
Tav will remember Astarion's name and their past life once they grow to love him again.
But will they fall for the same man in this new life, or will they pass throughout life forever wondering how the pale elf knows their name, but they don't know his?
Embarking on a journey through the 9 layers of Avernus in an attempt to seek a cure for Astarion's vampirism seems like the perfect place for mischief, memories, and emotions.

Summary
Not a true novelization! But follows the loose plotline of the game. Certain scenes will remain very similar while others will be framed totally different.
-------
Calla Tavlen has lost love once. A beautiful man she didn't deserve. One night, while mourning the loss, she meets a Pale Elf, who promises to whisk her away into the night. Unfortunately, the Absolute has other plans.
---
Astarion brought home a bard once. A beautiful man who was more kind than he deserved. Maybe it was guilt, or maybe it was curiosity; Astarion sought out the bard's wife, thinking to bring her home as well. Things didn't go to plan.
---------POV switches happen at chapter breaks:
✧✧✧✧✧ = Tav (Calla)'s POV
✦✦✦✦✦ = Astarion's POV
Chapters with sex scenes will be noted with an asterisk * in the title. First one is in Chapter 8.Bookmarked by Xanthozona

Summary
Chapter title is a reference to "Fair" by The Amazing Devil, a song that currently resides in my Tav/Astarion playlist and will make an appearance in the next chapter.
Tav suggests a night of wooing and despite his reservations, Astarion can't help but agree. Unfortunately, as tends to happen frequently in Astarion's life, things quickly go wrong.

Summary
“I gave you protection from the sun,” Astarion continues, hiking up her nightdress and massaging her thighs, the way he knows she loves—the way he used to do for her nearly every night. He stares into the mirror, knowing she’s watching. “Gave you a palace, a garden, eternity; everything you could ever want, yet you resist me at every turn.”
His definition of everything is all but what she wanted and asked for. There was once a time where she asked for things, and he provided. She asked for the garden. She asked for eternity, too.
Dead dove. Do not eat. at its core, this is a sad story about the transformation of ascended astarion's love for tav into a vampire's dark desire. obsession. possession. astarion says he would've 'ruined your love, used your trust until it was nothing'. that's this. and she’s got an ex-lover (Gale) to bring into the mix!

Summary
There is a soft crunching sound as the steel-? Tips of his claws dig into the desk.
His voice is loaded with something deadly when he speaks.
"I will not ask again. Who was it."
How dare he stand before her, making demands. That's how he wanted to start this convers-
'wait, really?'
It takes a second for her whirling, aching mind to catch up with what he is insinuating, but when it does, she almost laughs.
OR
The Bhaalspawn and the Baneite get a little too close before the events of the game, and Durge ends up with one more -unwelcome?- passenger on her journey to Baldur's Gate.

Summary
[COMPLETE]
A retelling.
“How … likely is it we can chalk this up to a naughty dream?”
Dropping her hands to her lap, she squints at him. “Well, now that you’ve said it—not very likely.”
He’s still half on her bedroll where’s she’d left him, propped up on one arm, other hand massaging at his throat. It takes her a while to process the wariness in his eyes—a length of time where her silent observation of him only seems to heighten his unease.
Just to be thorough, she briefly touches her fingers to either side of her throat. When she feels only smooth skin, she sighs again, shaking her head.
“… What are you going to do?” Astarion asks in a low and quiet voice, evidently having followed her—soundlessly in the way she knows he can be when he wants to. “What are you … What are you going to tell them?”
Last Edited: April 18, 2025 (punctuation, some typos, and so many missed capital 'H's iykyk)
Rated for graphic depictions of Violence, Trauma, Trauma-related subjects, Sex and a potentially triggering sexual encounter.

Summary
Fear had a way of leaving scars on the mind like blows left bruises and cuts on the skin. No amount of wine could wash away his nightmare, but that did not stop Astarion from trying.
—
Grappling with changes that came along with his newfound freedom, Astarion unexpectedly catches feelings for a socially awkward, yet incredibly sweet, ranger from Neverwinter. Astarion doesn’t want to put a name to those feelings. Doesn’t want an attachment that could be ripped away at a moments notice.
But damn, does Cas makes his conviction to remain unattached, to use her as a tool, seem impossible.- Language:

Summary
He stepped into the light. “It’s not often I’m noticed before I decide to be. You might be more canny than I gave you credit for.”
“So kind of you to admit your low estimations,” she laughed. “You might be more of an ass than I gave you credit for.”
In all his years of servitude, he had only ever been free to pursue and seduce prey that fit his master’s preferences. Not knowing the pleasure of getting lost in a body like hers felt like another way he’d been starved.
****************
Astarion’s “Nice, simple, plan,” falls apart thanks to quick-witted and full-figured fighter Titania, aka Tav. Moral quandaries are inevitable, but they find common ground in a fondness for lying, violence always being an option, and former bosses from hell— in her case, literally.- Language:

Summary
Brynn Bladetongue was trouble. Her smile was more impish than you’d expect for a drow, and she was a little too perceptive for Astarion’s liking. She let herself get dragged into other people’s messes, and she had more magic at her fingertips than even a talented bard should have.
Oh yes, Brynn Bladetongue was trouble: pretty and dangerous, as most pretty things are. Little did he know that Brynn’s particular brand of trouble would become more precious to him than he’d ever dreamed.
***************
In sum: a slow-burn expansion on the Astarion/Tav romance, from Astarion’s POV. This will cover the span of BG3, with rated E smut.

Summary
One night every year. She is always there waiting and he will always come.
A story that was supposed to be shameless smut but as usual, morphed into something with feelings. As a vampire lord, Astarion could not posses the woman who made it all happen for him. So a deal is made, one night a year. One night in her presence and passion. One night to push the blade in that little further....

A normal person with a mundane life, Moira is your typical lover of the video game Baldurs Gate 3. Everything changes when fiction becomes fact and she wakes up in the grove.
Will be trying to work my way through the entire game as I go but will diverge from the game story at some key points. Will update tags along the way. Spoiler warning for content from each act of the game (Obviously)

Summary
Astarion sat on his throne, holding court in a posture that seemed to mock both the seat and the setting: leaning on one armrest, chin propped up on his palm, one leg thrown over the opposite arm, and an expression that suggested he could not possibly be more bored.

Medieval-Glam-Rock-Bard!Tav skipped town after they smashed the Netherbrain and Ascendant Astarion *smashed her heart.*
Now, five years later, maybe they'll get a cup of coffee and work things out.
Nah, I'm lying this is a banter-aggressive, drama-heavy, fake
datingcourtship, slow-burnin' story informed by personal and shared trauma, identity, dysfunction, and the unresolved sexual tension that only a full-Lawful/Neutral-Evil Astarion vs. Mostly-Chaotic-Sometimes-Neutral Good Tav could produce.Series

“You didn’t seem to mind it much, by the way. Being eaten alive. For a moment, I thought, have I been wrong all these years? I always expected a person would react to being bitten by driving a stake through my heart, not putting their tongue in my–”
Tav grit her teeth. “Astarion, tragic backstory or no, I will still gladly punt you into next tenday.”
