Summary
Rosamund and Astarion have more in common than she knows, and currently, she knows absolutely nothing.
Rosamund Sidhe knows that something wicked lives inside her, and it's not the tadpole. When unexpected feelings for a certain vampire make surviving even more complicated, she must learn how to accept the haunting realities of who she has become.
It's not about fixing him, or fixing her; it's about being seen. Every part of them, especially the ugly.
This fic is canon-divergent, so while it follows the tentpole plot points of the game, sweeping changes and additions are made to suit the story and its characters.

Summary
“Oh, gods forbid they respond positively to you doing a good thing,” Neve deadpans. She squeezes him a little again. “That’s sort of how it works, Astarion.”
She can’t even see it. Believes the best of them all so earnestly, himself included, that she can’t see how it would all fall away without her at the center. It’s enough to make a person feel like they might actually deserve it.
“And by it, you mean…?” he asks instead.
Her huffed laugh of disbelief ruffles the hair at his neck. “Friendship, you idiot,” she answers. “And the general acquisition thereof.”
Astarion cuts a sideways look at her as best he can with her still nestled so close. “And is that what we are? Friends?”
He’d meant it to tease her, and yet finds that the silence before her answer twists his stomach. Because…he doesn’t actually know, either.
“Yes, Astarion,” Neve says gently, after a moment. “I think we’re very good friends.”
-
Neve and Astarion, continued. She's not a victim. Not a target. Not just one night it's better to forget. But then...whatever in the world could she be?

Summary
It's done. Cazador is well and truly gone, Astarion is finally a free elf and his first desire is to give all that's left of his body and soul to the one who saved him from his master and himself.
Not out of need, but of want. He wants his Zélie so bloody (pun intended) much that he takes her to his grave, and on top of it too.
So when she leaves him behind, when she realises Cazador is only one of the endless troubles plaguing him and her human life is too short to fix even a fraction of those, he breaks. Like the pathetic child he's always been.

Summary
They were wildly, disgustingly in love and it so completely consumed him he thought the feeling would never end. But then, of course, the day he felt most deep in contentment was the day he realized what he had tried to run from had already slithered back into its old well-worn burrows. Had molded over his bright new happiness.
Because how could Astarion be happy?
__
Four months after the defeat of the Netherbrain, Astarion finds himself stuck in the mire of his past and all the anger and despair that comes with it. While wrestling with her traveling-companion-turned-lover’s misery, Cat makes an impulsive decision that sets off their first falling-out. This post-game short story is told alongside the in-game story of the evolving relationship between Cat (the not-a-bard) and Astarion (needs no introduction) which varies from canon. Told from both POVs.

Summary
Astarion collapsed face-first onto the bed next to her with a dramatic groan of pure suffering. He managed to land hard enough that she bounced, which was actually pretty impressive.
Serra set aside the sock she was darning and ran her fingers through his hair. He almost managed to not purr. “Your first longbow lesson was that fun, then?”
“Speaking as an expert, that so-called ‘ranger’ is a monster,” he announced, gravitas only slightly impaired by the fact that he was muffled by a very fluffy blanket. “I may never move my shoulders again.”
“That would be a tragedy. They're such nice shoulders.”
“Exactly. Utterly monstrous.”
Astarion tries something new. He learns more than he signed up for.
(Or, multiclassing as a heavy-handed metaphor for personal growth.)

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
In which Astarion and his mysterious, bloodthirsty little friend, Ophelia, navigate complex feelings for each other, murderous tendencies, and worms in their brains.
A (loosely) canon-compliant longfic retelling of the Astarion/Durge romance arc that only focuses on the main story beats with some creative liberties and differing interpretations.

Summary
“I simply wish to be useful to you, little pet.”
Your eyes snapped open, freed from their lust filled heaviness in an instant. An icy jolt lanced violently through your gut, cutting through the heat that had been building since he’d pinned you underneath him. Your whole body tensed hard against his but Astarion didn’t even notice your sudden lack of enthusiasm.
Why would he?
He was performing again.
For you.
--
Or; Astarion wants to make himself useful to you and you have to remind him that he's worth so much more than his body.

I'll Make It Through The Winter If It Kills Me by Guardian_Rose

Summary
She's near tranquil when the door is opened and cold air spills in. She cracks an eye as the intruder closes it behind them.
"I locked that," she says pointedly, voice hoarse from finally having rested for the first time in days.
"And I unlocked it," Astarion replies primly.
He looks…unsure. And she hates that. She hates it so much it shreds at her insides, worsened by the fact that she is the reason he is doubting himself. How many times has he told her that she's the first person he has ever cared for? How many times has he laid himself bare to her to rip him apart or help hold him together, trusting her to be gentle, to keep him whole?
The least she can do now is do as he asked.
"Come with me," she croaks at last, "please. Stay with me whatever happens tomorrow."
***
He doesn't know if it was deliberate action by Elizia or just pure luck that it's the four of them and Orpheus who make it to the brain stem together. Him, Elizia, Shadowheart, and Lae'zel. The first together at the last.

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.

Summary
Some part of him could picture it then, could imagine telling her everything - speaking til dawn on his whole history. Spending the next day in this same spot, diving into what he knew of hers. Asking how it felt to gore that bard. Instead, he mirrored her smile - his own wicked grin for seducing and scheming.
“I’ve wanted to taste you since I first felt that pretty neck under my blade.”
And as her head fell back in a laugh, the white expanse of her neck on full display at his easy, overused line, he watched the golden girl fall into the palm of his hand.
---
COMPLETED.Astarion had known the woman's face immediately - Halia Dhune, the golden daughter of Baldur's Gate. The princess of the upper city. How many times had Cazador sent him after her - wanting to claim the socialite as a trophy to add to his awful collection? At least now he wouldn't have to go back to his master empty handed, should the tadpole situation not work out in his favor.
(or: what if the Dark Urge was a noble woman, perfect and popular, and her father's favorite fox in the henhouse. and of course, what if our dear vampire knew of her before the crash?)

Summary
He’d had her taste on his tongue, between her legs, from her pulse, her lips—but all Astarion could think about was the unvarnished way she’d hugged him, as if she could hold him together all on her own, as if that might be enough.
Astarion/Vague F!Tav, Act 1 & 2 romance-centric.

Astarion took a quick, irritated step forward. “My love, would you kindly shut up? I don’t have marriage proposed to me every day. I’d like to seriously consider it.”
He’d like to—oh.
Oh.
Tav took a stunned, shaky breath. “Well, think out loud then. I don’t propose it very often myself.”
