Summary
You are ULDER RAVENGARD.
Your son is completely besotted with his fiancé, but you can’t figure out the appeal. He’s spoiled, and petty, and seems chiefly concerned with draining the Ravengard coffers. You are, frankly, at your wits’ fucking end.
Surely the only solution is to declare an INSANE SECRET WAR on him before he can ruin the MIDWINTER'S EVE BALL. This cannot possibly backfire.
[A choose-your-own-adventure Astarion son-in-law simulator. Happy Holidays! Or possibly the opposite of that.]

Summary
There's a gala at the Szarr Palace tonight, and Astarion is being punished.
Neither of these is particularly unusual.
What is unusual, though, is the guest list. Dalyria has discovered plenty of strange names, including a group of vampire royals and a number of devils straight from the Hells. What is the Master planning?
Astarion doesn't know, and he doesn't care. He just needs to tailor the Szarr family's outfits and seduce as many partygoers as possible so Cazador may finally allow him some blood. All he must do is turn off his thoughts, give the guests a night to remember, and move on. It's utterly routine.
Or it should be. But nothing is ever so straightforward when devils and vampires mix.
[Possibly a little heavy-handed on the tags but just being safe]

Summary
Fortunately, Gale seemed to have traded godhood for sainthood. All he did these days was wrangle troublemakers from the high seat of his settled life. He seemed to have a brand new, unshakable faith in people and their ability to wander back to him.

The pre-game life story of Enver Gortash, but the action takes place at the beginning of the 20th century in the middle of the Russian Empire in the ethnically mixed Volga region.
Penniless Sally and Dravo Flymm sold their unwanted child Enver to a distant, wealthy relative.

Summary
She’d heard stories before, about accepting food from strangers who turned out to be hags or other nefarious fey creatures. But Marleth was fairly certain that hags only took the form of women. And, despite the something that bothered her, this man seemed harmless enough.
Her stomach grumbled loudly, deciding for her. The stranger shot her a knowing grin.
“Come, sit.” He gestured at a spot across from him, near the small cookfire. “Share a meal with me.”
--
Decades after Gale becomes the god of cooking, a halfling bard encounters a mysterious fellow traveler on the road just north of Waterdeep.- Language:

Summary
Wyll Ravengard, once, became a mindflayer to save the world. Now he works as the Grand Duke, trying to restore Baldur's Gate and improve it for the people who live there. The patriars are less than thrilled with him, for all that people are expecting him to start courting. Karlach has the perfect plan: a decoy! A fake courtship, specifically with Astarion, who Wyll once tried to court back in their adventures.
Except Astarion is only wary of Wyll now, Wyll can't shake the feeling that someone is watching him at all times, and Karlach only grows sadder whenever Astarion is actually friendly to Wyll. But despite all the foreboding in his heart, he can't help but grow closer to them both.

Summary
After being left to raise her young son alone, Morena Dekarios’s parenting goals condensed from a spectrum of dreams into one searing solitary point: make sure Gale turns out better than his father.

Summary
Astarion wants the sun. He wants to bask in the light of dawn, unafraid and unharmed; let it kiss him and not burn; let its light be his private joy, not his fear. How exhausting it is, to be afraid of something he loves so desperately.
It turns out the feeling is mutual.
Astarion's quest to see the sun again triggers multiple religious (and romantic) crises.
~
Note on romantic content (setting expectations): Bloodweave takes center-stage in terms of screen time, and the Astarion/Lathander relationship tag is the stage the boys are struggling to survive on. Shadowheart often mediates everyone's experience with love and the gods, for better or worse.

Summary
Astarion drinks the wrong potion and inadvertently turns into a weak and helpless bat. Shadowheart loves animals, and the bat loves her, so that's fine. Then he turns back and starts throwing a tantrum about it, which would also be fine -- except that Shadowheart is not fine.

Summary
Astarion should have died that night. In the story we know he did exactly that. Here, things went a little differently and he is very much alive.
However, healing magic has its limitations, and the Astarion who survived is markedly different from the one that fell to the Gur's clubs.
A month into recovery, he's still coming to terms with his loss of independence. Bedbound, partially mute, and being cared for by the same person who saved him in the first place: his mother. Apparently her adventuring days didn't fully end, even after decades of playing at being a proper Upper City wife.
Even worse, soon his beloved father decides caring for Astarion is a waste of time and resources, and tries to convince his mother to send him to... somewhere, anywhere, else.
It's amazing, what you start to notice when you're forced to stop and pay attention to people not named Astarion. So many aspects of his world and family, he now sees all too clearly. Out of the one eye that still works, anyway.
Updates every other Wednesday!

Summary
All in all, perhaps not Wyll's cleverest moment. He just needed to find a pothole. A grate of some kind. Something that would get him back out into the open world, where someone might see him and help. It would be wonderful if his vision would stop going grey at the edges, and if his feet worked like how he told them to. He just needed…a little rest. A bit of a sit down, then he’d be right as rain. He slid down the wall, breathing through his nose.
“I don't suppose you're going to be using any of that blood, are you?”
When Astarion is saved from his master by a group of heroes, he thought his life was doomed to scavenging loneliness. But what if he had the chance to save one of those heroes right back?
