Summary
Astarion didn't care much for you and your people-pleasing tendencies until he realized exactly what they could mean for him. If you were that desperate for approval—for the hard-earned praise of others—perhaps he could be the one to deliver. There were certainly plenty of benefits for him to reap.
***
Preview:You looked so proud of yourself, drool pooling at the corners of your lust-drunk smile. Your hair was mussed and wild, but your expression was utterly tame, almost domestic.
Astarion worried, momentarily, that he might actually end up being the one to crawl back to you. You made him feel so in control, so powerful. And so, so good.

Summary
Hey all- my first attempt at a fic in a loooooong time. I’ve been playing BG3 since early access so I’ve been an Astarion simp for years now.
This is going to be a slow burn. On the sweeter side, with some spice down the line. More like a short romance novel and less like a one shot. Which are the sort of things I like to read. Mostly writing this for myself- but heck I'd be thrilled if one other person read it!
This is written in the third person limited perspective and will switch back and forth between an original female character who awakens on the beach just after escaping the Nautiloid and later Astarion’s POV.
I highly recommend you play the game first, but will warn you this obviously contains spoilers for the plot. I hope to cover acts 1-3 all the way through to the end.

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.

Summary
"Your heart cracks in your chest as you finally recognise what that look in his eyes is.
Understanding. He understands.
It’s a relief, terrifying and dizzying in its way. You don’t know what he understands about it, what experience of his own he sees in you, but it’s that soft empathy in his eyes that lets you sigh softly, dropping your head to your knees once more as you speak that terrible hope you’ve clung to since the day you woke on that nautiloid.
“I want to be good.” "
a written account of how the dark urge's blackened heart learned to feel and, later, love again, while somehow dragging along astarion's own undead heart for the ride.

Summary
Based on a piece of dialogue I overhead between companions.
Tav wanted to do something nice for him, nothing more. She helped him find a way to bathe in the middle of the wilderness and expected nothing in return. An inconsequential gesture that should have been part of his plan. A signal that what he was doing had worked.
And yet it somehow was the start of Astarion falling harder than ever before.Bookmarked by kurtachain

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
“Well,” he croons, “The fun doesn’t have to be entirely one-sided. Our time could very well be limited. You help me with my condition…and I could help you with yours.”
“My condition?” she asks, her eyebrows now arched to maximum height.
Astarion tilts his head. “Darling, it’s bad enough that we might burst into tentacles any day now. I would hate to see you die a virgin.”
-
Neve already had her hands full, what with trying to keep her companions from killing each other and pushing forward in the face of an uncertain fate. Then the vampire had to go and decide she was sweet enough to want to sink his teeth into.
Another take on how things unfold post-bite.

Summary
When you were young, Anne Sallow decided to turn in her brother Sebastian for murdering their uncle- 8 years later, he was released.
Cross posted on wattpad:@jackjimmy
May contain smut. I have no idea where this is actually going.
*I have never, would never choose to send Sebastian to Azkaban cause I'm ride or die. but I am attracted to the idea of him being a little roughed up- so here you go.
**As I am in the midst of writing my own book this is a little side project idea that I just could not ignore. I hope you enjoy it.

So if you told him that she would soon best him in a duel, cure his sister of her curse, and completely and utterly steal his heart—well, he wouldn’t have believed you.

SHADOWS OF SORROW [S.S] by learosalie

Summary
“Lie to me if you must, but I can’t bear the thought you are thinking of someone else.”
When academic rivalry turns into hate without a way to control their desire for one another.
Evolves around the Sebastian side quest storyline with a dark tension and an even darker twist.
[Female OC]
Slow Burn Romance, Fast burn Tension
Content warnings:
Gore, mature content, mentions and acts of violence, mentions of sexual assault, blood [more to be added as the story continues]
Due to the obvious fact that 5th year students at Hogwarts are underaged [16 years old] this story will be playing out in the 7th year of Hogwarts with the same side quest storyline about Sebastian Sallow making all 7th year characters automatically 18 years old. I do not own any of the worldbuilding or ideas this story is based on. All rights to WB Games and J.K Rowling. I will make it clear, that I do not agree with anything the author of the Harry Potter series says or mentions on social media. This is sole fiction and meant as a form of entertainment to the ones interested.A male and nonbinary version will be in the making once the story is completed in its first form.

Alternatively: A Piltover doctor has their mind set on revolutionizing medicine, by combining it with the newly tamed force of the arcane. What better place for developing Hextech prosthetics is there, if not the Talis lab? And what better person to develop feelings for, if not the likeminded scientist in it?

Summary
Fred Weasley hated that Slytherin girl with his entire soul; Lilith Arambella was not only Severus Snape's niece, the daughter of one of the most dangerous Death Eaters to ever exist but also, the Beater in the Slytherin team and a terribly good player (nearly as good as him!). Fred Weasley couldn't do anything but hate her, and the feeling was pretty much reciprocal.
