Summary
Eventually Shadowheart is the first to turn away, rolling her eyes and letting out a humourless huff of laughter as she does. “You’re horrible,” she mutters.
“I’m nearly certain you started it, dear.”
They lapse back into silence, and, for some inexplicable reason, Shadowheart opts to stay. Passing the bottle of wine back and forth, the two of them observe the party quietly. It’s… oddly nice, all things considered, and Shadowheart wonders briefly if part of her likes pushing Astarion’s buttons so much simply because she also happens to enjoy his company. Shaking the thought from her mind, she decides that if she’s contemplating friendship with him, then she’s likely had enough wine for one night.
--
Shadowheart and Astarion bond a bit over their... complicated feelings about Karlach and Tav.

Summary
“Today I was just…” He looks away from you, as if loath to admit what he’s about to say. “Irrationally jealous.”
You poke him in the side playfully. “Well at least you can admit it.”
“Gods, what have I let you do to me?” His tone is suitably scandalized, but it’s unfortunately undercut by the look of utter fondness on his face.
“You let me love you,” you say with a shrug, and pull him closer to you for a hug, not quite ready to let him go yet.
Astarion embraces you tightly, wrapping his arms around you and tucking his face into the crook of your neck, inhaling and exhaling deeply as if letting all of his tension out. You relish the way his body relaxes against you, elated that you can offer him the comfort he so desperately needs.
“Wait - ‘anyone else’?” Astarion says abruptly, pulling away from you slightly, as if your words from earlier suddenly just registered to him. “How many more lovesick fools can we expect to run into?”

Tav runs into some old flames once they finally arrive back in Baldur's Gate. Astarion, naturally, has no problem with this, at all, thanks for asking. -

Summary
Trying to steady himself, Astarion takes a deep breath in, his nose pressed closely to your skin as he drinks. Unfortunately, instead of the soft soothing scent of your skin, he's met with the bold reminder that he is not the only one you've welcomed into your bed during these late nights.
Lae'zel's scent clings possessively to your skin, and there's no doubt that you must have snuck off with her before retiring to bed tonight. It overwhelms Astarion, and he can't help but wonder how he had failed to notice before this moment, because it's now all he can taste and smell. The smell of oakmoss and leather and something otherworldly and uniquely Lae'zel, wrapped around your form as if claiming you as hers.
It ignites some instinctive feral reaction in Astarion, and he suddenly wants nothing more than to scrub every trace of her from your body, to replace it with his own scent, cover up her marks with his own. To press into the bruises she's left until you can only think of him when you're reminded of them.
--
Astarion is jealous that Tav's been sharing their bed with Lae'zel, that's basically it.

Summary
You can’t help the way that you’re reacting to his words, your pulse quickening and your body feeling almost uncomfortably hot. Astarion doesn’t fail to take notice, and a sly smile crosses his face. He also finally starts to move closer to you, speaking again only when he’s beside you, looking down at you with an undoubtedly hungry look on his face. “Not to mention that I've started having the most delicious dreams.”
In the back of your mind, you remark that it’s almost comforting to know that he’s also apparently been plagued with thoughts about the two of you, though you suspect his desires might be a bit different in nature.
A moment of silence passes and you reconsider the thought, because really, how different could they be?
“What kind of dreams?”
“Certainly ones that shouldn’t be spoken aloud.”

Summary
“You speak as if it’s such a burden to have sex with you,” he says finally, a teasing note in his voice.
“Well, it could be. I don’t know.”
He catches your chin in his hand and turns your head to ensure you’re looking at him as he replies. “I can assure you that it is not.” The sincerity in his tone and expression leave you a bit breathless, and he huffs a small laugh in response. “I can honestly say I never thought I’d have to reassure you of such a thing.” You flush deeply, both at his attention and at feeling a bit foolish for putting off this conversation for so long. “Look at that, you blush so prettily for me, how could I not want to see where else you flush with my attention. And that’s not even to mention your breathy moans, or the delicious way you beg for me. I can’t believe you were feeling neglected and deprived me of this.” He scolds you lightly, tsk-ing as he lets go of your face. “Come, let’s go to bed.”

Astarion and Tav have a discussion about their relationship, Halsin, and sexual intimacy, followed by some indulgent smut.

Summary
“Astarion,” you say before you can stop yourself. “We buried you.”
Astarion’s eyes widen. He could have jumped you then, spilling your innards across the dirt, the shock shaking you down to your core. But there’s a startled look in his eyes, too, like you could push him over with a feather. There’s no recognition there, only—
“You must be mistaken,” Astarion says, waving a hand dismissively. There’s an easy smile on his face that doesn’t quite meet his eyes. “I don’t believe we’ve met."
—
You knew Astarion, two hundred years ago. You were new to the city. You were both young, for your kind. He was a magistrate. He liked fine wines and fine company, and you were— young, and naive, and a little bit in love with him. He never looked at you twice. Not in the way you wanted, anyway.

Summary
Series of one shots, exploring Astarion's mindset through his romance with GN Tav (gender and race undefined to the best of my ability).
"What was illogical, to him, was that Tav permitted it. Letting the vampire hold them tight, pinned with their back to his chest while he fed. Perhaps they had a bizarre vampire fetish - it certainly wouldn’t be the first time he’d encountered such. There was a soft trembling to their skin as he fed, barely parted lips in the dying firelight while the others slept.
But the few nights Astarion declined in a huff, they smiled and said they were glad he wasn’t hungry. A puzzling mystery that irked at him, staying on his mind in the hours between fights."

Summary
"You want to go down this road?" asked Shadowheart. "At least do it well. If you need a fake date who’s pretty, charming, and distracting for both yourself and others? Who won’t take it too seriously, but also won’t fuck it up by being embarrassed the entire time? You don’t ask me. You ask Astarion.”
--
A year after their adventuring party officially disbanded to enjoy their fame and immense wealth to the full, tiefling wizard Rosalie (reluctantly) asks Astarion for some help with a large, fake-date, ex-girlfriend sized problem.

Summary
“I mean, you kind of did the same thing yesterday,” Lucius tells him afterwards, when they’re reviewing the day’s adventure for the logbook. Ed’s somewhere out on deck, which is a very good thing, since Stede is having a bit of a panic. “And the day before, and the day before—”
“Did I really?” Stede wails in horror.
“And the day before,” Lucius confirms. “Except then it was ‘dear heart.’ No, wait, it was ‘my love.’ ‘Dear heart’ was the day before that. Actually, I don’t think you’ve called him by just his name in like, a week.”
Or, Stede realizes he's maybe, possibly started calling Ed rather revealing things.
