Summary
Astarion had a plan. A nice, simple plan: seduce Tav, sleep with her, manipulate her feelings so she'd never turn on him.
All she had to do was fall for it.
And all he had to do was not fall for her.Which is where his nice, simple plan fell apart.

Exploring Astarion's POV throughout the game while romancing Dark Urge/Tav. Canon is followed in most cases, including with lines of dialogue from the game, but Act 2 and 3 break off from canon a few times in fun ways.Content warnings are listed ahead of the more intense chapters. Overall this fic (like the game) explores what healing from abuse looks like and has a lot of references to those themes.

Summary
For a thousand years they roamed the Earth. And for a thousand years they thought of her. Because how could you forget the one person who seemed to be intertwined with their very beings?
The one who died for you? The one whose death you led to? The one who died for your secrets? The one who died because you wouldn't leave her? The one you only ever loved from a distance?
And how could you forget the person who was continuously there?
They would lose her, grieve and miss her for centuries... And then she'd be there again. Coming to the one who needed her most. Becoming a solace and becoming home. Only to be lost all over again.
The Mikaelson couldn't forget her.
But Jane Harmon could.
It was an odd thing, thinking that one might forget themselves. But that was what happened. That was how it went every time. And each time she did not realize it until she found them again. Because that was what her soul seemed most intent on, as if searching for pieces of herself that had been scattered throughout space and time. Never to be complete again.
Until now... Until this life... The one which would be her last.

Summary
The secret to surviving is simple. It’s the execution that poses problems.
Don’t die.
It’s that easy.
auri knows people, and that's how she can tell; astarion is deeply, deeply fucked up.

Summary
After leaving Szarr Entertainment in the wake of a tumultuous - deliberately engineered - scandal, Astarion Ancunín has rebuilt his acting career, from the blacklisted ground up. Through a heavily doctored narrative of queer reclamation, he's finally making a name for himself, and hoping to claim prestige (and maybe a few awards) through the leading role in a historical biopic about the openly gay elven oracle, Aerthwyn Capaxath.
The only problem is, Aerthwyn Capaxath is the worst person that ever lived (or died). Just ask Dr. Rosalie Frostsong, a thoroughly unwilling expert on the subject.
