Summary
She rose to her full height and made to turn on her heel, but he caught her by the chin with his gloved hand, forcing her to meet his eyes.
Dappled sunlight and leafy shadows kissed both of their faces as each regarded the other. He leaned down towards her, then, close enough to whisper a secret, but just shy of anything more intimate.
“You’re quite welcome, Hero. I…” he paused for a beat, as if reviewing his chosen words but thinking better of them. He sighed wearily, then smiled at her, “I so long for you not to disappoint me, my dear.”
After Emet Selch brings her friend back from the dead, the Warrior of Darkness is deeply moved, compelling her to stay behind a few moments as everyone else departs. What follows isn’t what she is anticipating and slowly but surely he unlocks a trove of secrets inside her that she does not remember burying…

Summary
A butterfly-light touch, at the pads of your fingers. You feel the deep furrows in your brow ease as you turn your gaze from the distance to Astarion, next to you. His face is impassive, as it so often is; seemingly carved from marble by a sculptor with a taste for cruelly beautiful curled lips. But his hand is pulling at yours, fingertips tangling yours out from where they were gouging furrows into your palm.
A series of vignettes accompanying gameplay from Tav's POV. Original dialogue and canon-compliant. Good-aligned Tav x Astarion romance, written in that sweet sweet Reader present–tense 2nd person POV. Tav's class, gender and other identifying details are kept mostly somewhat ambiguous for self-insertion. When things get hot & heavy eventually, Tav has a female body type.

Summary
After a few weeks on the road, Astarion finds himself with a rather curious fixation on Tav's mouth. He especially enjoys how much she enjoys food. When he crosses paths with a merchant carrying melting chocolate, he gets ideas. Sexy times ensue.
Based on an ask box prompt from tumblr.

Summary
“Clearly you’re attracted to me—no don’t deny it.” Astarion held up a hand to silence the retort on the tip of Tavs tongue.
“Consider me at your disposal. You’ve assisted me, let me return the favour. You’re evidently…frustrated.” His words were like silk, smooth and seductive.
“What?” Tav managed to squeak out in complete disbelief.
**********************
After Tav accidentally lets Astarion know she is attracted to him through their Tadpoles, he sees it as an opportunity to repay the favour of her sharing her blood.
**********************
*Astarion has trauma, it will not be overlooked by Tav, or the author.*
