Summary
Astarion remembers that he hid above the docks, watching the sunset bleed through billowing clouds of smoke. He looked up, one hand shading his eyes as he gazed upon the sun for perhaps the last time. He remembers vividly the way that Amala’s warding ring glistened on his finger as he willed the sun to burn him, to punish him for what he’d done. But he didn’t burn.
"... I hope you die screaming."
He would give anything to take back his words. Six months after the Netherbrain plunges into the depths of the Chionthar, Astarion receives an invitation to a reunion. After finding out his little love gave her life to give him the sun, he strikes a deal with her god to turn back time. He's determined to make things right the second time around...

Summary
"It's over. I'm done with it," Astarion's voice was a broken whisper, barely audible over his sobs. He was speaking to himself, affirming the end of a chapter steeped in torment. The sight was heartbreaking. Sad. He knelt there for a moment, as if trying to believe what had happened.
Then, rising from the ground and lifting his bloodshot eyes to meet Tav's, his expression twisted into something bitter and cold. "And I'm done with you," he spat out venomously.
Tav's step faltered, her hand still suspended in the air. Confusion and hurt welled up inside her. "What?" she stammered, her mind racing to make sense of his words. He was in shock, surely. The trauma, the bloodshed, it had to be too much.
But Astarion's voice cut through her thoughts, icy and trembling with a raw edge of emotion she had never heard before. "I would say good luck out there, but honestly?" His gaze was piercing, unyielding. "I hope you die." The words slithered out like a curse, each syllable dripping with a venom that chilled her to the bone.
Astarion narrowed his eyes, leaned towards her and whispered ominously, only to her. “Screaming.”

Summary
She fell against him, beating at his chest in earnest.
“You ruined it,” she wept. “You ruined us. You ruined everything. You cast away your soul, and I let you. I helped you.”
Her sobs were horrendous. This had all gone horrifically wrong. He had to turn it around. He could turn it around; there was nothing he couldn’t do.
---
In which Bard!Tav, not a spawn, is back in Baldur's Gate after roughly eight years of touring, adventuring, etc. up and down the Sword Coast, and Astarion, not a spawn, decides that this is the perfect opportunity to snatch her up -- err, win her back. Yes, that.
At least, that's his plan.
Worth Noting:
* Astarion was a full-on thief, has completed the Rite of Ascension, and as a consequence is, per DnD 5e canon, lawful evil (sometimes a little neutral evil mebbe).Series

Summary
One night every year. She is always there waiting and he will always come.
A story that was supposed to be shameless smut but as usual, morphed into something with feelings. As a vampire lord, Astarion could not posses the woman who made it all happen for him. So a deal is made, one night a year. One night in her presence and passion. One night to push the blade in that little further....

Summary
He visited her while she worked. She couldn't be as rude while in her apron.
In his fine suit, he flirted with her for years and playing hard to get was her favorite game.
Perhaps a more forward approach is in order.
