Summary
It’s been 10 years since Astarion and his companions have saved themselves and Baldur’s Gate from many great perils. The pale elf has killed his master and has resisted the temptation to ascend, but now finds himself all alone in the ruins of a life that used to be his in Baldur’s Gate, long before Cazador and the mindflayers. He is now a very famous tailor, spending most of his nights sewing elegant corsets and petticoats for nobles from all over Faerûn, but feels like his life is a series dull and colorless moments. His love for Tav has withered and died, like everything he touches, and his old friends are busy living their own lives. Consumed by solitude and struggling to find a purpose to his immortal existence, Astarion crosses path with a young painter named Selene. She has lost her artistry, he has lost his reflection. Could they find in each other what they have been looking for all along?

Summary
Zoraya Naelgrath is gearing up to start her own legal practice when a call from her past unexpectedly places her in the offices of Astarion Ancunin, a young magistrate known for his racial prejudice and various sex scandals that have made him the laughing stock of his colleagues. Tasked with preventing his dooming expulsion from office, Zoraya has no choice but to face the man who was once her best friend in the entire world, as well as her childhood crush. A crush that is, of course, ancient history now that Astarion is a perpetually hungover, selfish bastard interested in little else than cementing his standing among the elite of Baldur’s Gate – most notably Lord Cazador Szarr, an enigmatic nobleman with pale skin and an unsettlingly keen interest in Astarion.
"Beauty and the Beast" meets "Suits"
Or: What if Magistrarion had a badass half Gur childhood bestie who's definitely not in love with him and starts working for him right as a certain pale-faced, red-eyed nobleman gets ready to make his move?

Summary
“Fine,” she said. “Do you know the statistically most common way for the authorities to take out organized crime?”
Well, if that was her idea of enticing conversation, it was no wonder she had all those evenings free to chase after scoundrels like him. Still, Astarion didn’t want to antagonize her further and ruin the game, so he pursed his lips and guessed, “A very large, well-placed cannon?”
“Tax fraud.”
She looked at him as if she expected some sort of reaction – maybe a dramatic gasp? A palm flung to his forehead in a theatrical rendition of How could I not think of this?
Everything he could muster was a blink. “Tax … fraud.”
She nodded, obviously excited about what Astarion was sure were two of the most boring words in the English language, combined.
