    Summary

    I wanted to dig deeper into Astarion's nature as a bloodthirsty predator, and this is the fic that came of that. He is neither soft nor fluffy here. Minthara is Minthara. It's a dark timeline version of act 1 events that deviates slightly from canon. I also took some small liberties with spell mechanics for the sake of the story, but tried to stay as true to lore as possible.

    This is written from the perspective of an interloper who Astarion would view as acceptable prey, hence I created an OC instead of a Tav. I made up a whole backstory for her and I think she's neat. But uh, don't get too attached.

    Summary

    Gale Dekarios is interested in immortality, and vampires, and devilish contracts, and so it only makes sense that he would kidnap a vampire spawn to experiment on. He doesn't intend to torture it. He only needs to stop it from running away, while he figures out a longer-term solution to its inconvenient compulsions.
    It's a rough few days for Astarion.

    Summary

    When Astarion comes to in the glaring brightness of the midday sun, he thinks he's died for the second time. Or perhaps it's an illusion. A hallucination.

    But no, it's none of that. The world has simply gone mad. The old rules are gone, new ones have been slapped on instead, and no one has bothered to explain anything to him.

    Before Astarion has time to process any of this, he's thrown into adventure with a bunch of strangers – emphasis on strange. But it's all right. He'll survive. He always does, whatever it takes.

    Summary

    Tav kisses his neck, rubs the old bite scar with the tip of the tongue, and excitement boils hotly inside Astarion, mixing with the cracked expectation of inevitable punishment.

    All good things come at a price, and Astarion had nothing better than this.

    Summary

    Astarion, naturally, had already opened the front door by the time she arrived, though he made no move to cross the entry. He’d looped his arm around a whipcord-tense Dalyria, his hand tight around her shoulder as he held her against him. “O beloved, magnanimous master, won’t you please let us in? We’re so very, very hungry,” he purred, eyes glinting as his sister tensed further, her gaze firmly resting somewhere in the vicinity of Tav’s shoes.

    ---

    Decades after Tav and Astarion have settled in Waterdeep, Dalyria shows up to ruin their domestic bliss.

    Post-fic AU of For All the Wrong Reasons. Can be read blind. Kinktober fill that got out of hand. Emotionally intense.

    To quote the comments section: "hi. hey. hello. what the hell." | "*thousand yard stare*" | "This is so good. Just a horrifically painful thing to experience."

    Summary

    in which Astarion falls through the cracks and everything falls apart

    -

    The city of Baldur's Gate is saved and its heroes go where they're needed: to save a friend, to save an civilization, to rebuild a family, to restore a barren land. While they make decisions and goodbyes, Astarion gets himself in trouble underneath Cazador's manor. And it turns out that a group of seven thousand people cannot all be forced to go obediently into the dark.

    Summary

    Tav made quick work of the clothing in the way. Reaching up with one hand, he caught Astarion’s wrist. He let Astarion’s hand slip through his grasp until their fingers intertwined.

    “Don’t let go,” Tav murmured into the sharp jut of Astarion’s hipbone. His tone was light, but his eyes held a deeper concern.

    Don’t lose yourself, he seemed to say.

    “I’ll try not to,” Astarion promised, throat tight. “Catch me if I do?”

    “Always here for you.”

    Astarion realizes he's in love with Dark Urge Tav.

    Summary

    Cazador Szarr didn’t intend to turn a man like Astarion. That’s Aurelia’s working theory. Astarion—loud, prideful, panicky Astarion—was a crime of passion from a passionless monster. Astarion is a crime scene, not of a murder (murder isn’t a crime to a predator) but rather the crime of losing control. Aurelia is pretty sure Cazador couldn’t help himself. AKA: 5 times Cazador saw Astarion before he finally killed him.

    ----

    “Can I touch you?” Trei asks, one last time.

    His eyes flutter closed.

    “Anywhere,” Astarion breathes.

    -----

    A spicy, intense rewrite of the post-Yurgir confession as only Trei and Astarion could manage.

    Also: a reclamation of Astarion's past, repainted with compassion and worship.

    Summary

    "Min kjærlighet..."

    Nora doesn’t know the language – has never known – but she recognizes the tone. She knows the sound of breathless adoration, can hear the depth of all the unspoken, the centuries of longing, the raw possessiveness.

    She knows because it is how she would sound, if Nate were to be returned to her. How he used to sound, before the bombs dropped.

    It is a heady thing to be spoken to in such a way, especially by a stranger who just so happens to also be a ghoul.
