Summary
Slow burn romance. Sensitive topics mentioned inside. Reader discretion is advised. (The non-con tag is for a MUCH later chapter.)
If this story had a theme song, it would be more than one. Give by Sleep Token, Sweet Tangerine by The Hush Sound, and TIMEZONE by Måneskin.
Tav is a sharp-witted bard with a tongue as quick as her blade. Astarion is a dangerous vampire spawn rogue, bound by shadows and scars of the past. When their paths intertwine, sparks fly. Will something beautiful bloom between them, or will it be plucked before it ever has the chance to grow?
For clarification: this isn't a self insert, but Tav is based on me in build. A wood elf, 5'4, 140lbs (lean, muscular build- I lift weights).
-"You are more than what he wanted you to be," I murmur quietly. Astarion's gaze cuts to mine, sharp at first and then softening around the edges.
"I'm a monster," he whispers with a shake of his head. "I've lured countless people to their deaths. Innocents."
"That's not who you are anymore," I insist. I give his shoulder a gentle squeeze. "You can take back the narrative. Only you get to say who you are."

Summary
Astarion tapped his finger against the side of his camera and frowned.
“Karlach,” he said, reaching for the iced Americano on the folding table beside him, “remind me again why I agreed to do this?”
“Because you love and care about our local fire department?”
Astarion scoffed. “Try again.”Astarion, disgruntled local photographer, agrees to take photos for the volunteer fire department's fundraising calendar. Wyll, local volunteer firefighter with a heart of gold, poses for the camera.

Summary
*** On hiatus ***
Step one: Introduce someone who never completely dealt with their own experiences to someone who has just been freed from their personal hell.
Step two: Complicate this further with aggressive implications of world-ending doom.
Step three: Throw in an archfey that prides themselves on being an engaged and hands-on patron but is actually also kind of weird, even by fey standards.
Step four: Profit?
Generally canon-compliant, not-entirely-a-rewrite of BG3. Astarion x Tav: Echo is a high elf bladelock that has spent too much time around an archfey and it shows.
Chock full of trauma and yearning, but there are puns to keep things light.

Summary
“If…if the timing was different, if we’d had any of our shit together, do you think you and I could have been in love?”
He clenches his jaw before looking over at you with a faux-relaxed smile. “We were, darling.”
3 years after the defeat of the Absolute, you and your companions have your own lives (and a group chat) but get together for weddings and funerals. You (Tav) haven't heard from your best friend Astarion in a little while. Hopefully you'll get some answers at Alfira's wedding.
