Summary
"Lance," Shiro starts in the most serious, dire tone that he's ever heard, "I need your help."

Summary
astrum; latin for 'star, constellation, glory, immortality, Heaven'. obvenio; latin for 'come, meet, happen, come up, fall, occur'
In this universe, things went a little differently-- with a space pod crashing into one girl's lawn and an unlikely relationship is forged. Except there's still a galactic warlord out for blood, a planet that might have ended up as space dust, and countless enemies across space and time that won't rest until everything has gone to hell in a handbasket.
Oh, yeah, and they should probably find those dragon balls.
on hiatus pending rewrite

Summary
He sees a red glint in the darkness and Astarion leaps up, nearly stumbling over his injured ankle.
He almost falls back into the hearth, his fingers catching himself on the mantle, his foot hitting something metal. He reaches down, fingers scrambling to grab the fire poker, holding it out in front of himself even as his hands shake.
“Master—” Astarion gasps, and what does he hope to do against him? He should have never picked up a weapon, never should have run in the first place—Cazador will make make him regret it, will break him in a way Astarion hadn’t even thought was possible—
The figure shifts and Astarion can’t breathe as it walks further into the room, now lit by the warmth of the fire.
It is not his master that Astarion sees.
(Or, Astarion escapes from his master. He finds a devil in the process.)

Summary
Tav said no and that meant there weren't many other options.
It was a process of elimination, nothing more. Lae'zel would sleep with him him, but it wouldn't tie her to him in the way he needed it to. Gale was too weak to protect him and Shadowheart would see through his deceptions too easily. Karlach, dear stupid Karlach, would have been perfect. She was strong enough to shield him and desperate for every scrap of affection. If it hadn't been for those flames-
So it was Wyll. It had to be Wyll.
Hells.

Summary
“I don’t want to hurt you, my heart.”
“Yes, and maybe that’s the problem!” Astarion snaps suddenly, yanking his hands out from under his.
Halsin stares, startled by the outburst, and Astarion frowns, first at him and then at the tree over his shoulder. When he doesn’t elaborate, Halsin carefully breaches the silence instead.
“Do you want me to hurt you?”
AKA astarion doesn't know how to ask for what he wants, but halsin can make an educated guess

Summary
Astarion: HAHA! I manipulated and tricked you all into liking me and never abandoning me!
The Party: By making well-balanced decisions that met the needs of the group while helping us accomplish our short-term goals and listening to us talk when we were upset and stuff? Despite the fact you didn't always want to do that?
Astarion: Wait....
The Party: That's just friendship, stupid.
AKA: A collection of things that ostensibly happen in the same little mental universe. Loosely based on the events of an Origin Astarion run and the various questions it inspired. Not published in sequential order, but ordered somewhat by the narrative timeline.

Summary
Astarion fast-talks an abnormal number of enemies into killing themselves in the shadow-cursed lands and the team makes idle (then less idle) conversation about it. It’s completely fine and doesn’t bother him at all and it absolutely doesn’t draw additional questions about why he does what he does for the team... and what they in turn would do for him.
IE: Origin-run Astarion fic because its interesting to me how the party reacts to their vampire buddy if he doesn’t have Tav to be a social buffer for him. Act 2 content and spoilers.
