    Summary

    There's something to be said for those moments in-between missions, the ones where you manage to hold off on worrying about the tadpoles in your brain. The brief instances of levity in which you can afford to appreciate the beauty hidden in this strange, precarious new world you find yourself navigating.

    The moments where rubies sparkle in a new light behind a curtain of long lashes, the mischievous, twinkling stars casting a blue glow glossing off silvery hair. Pretty things seem suddenly far too intent to watch your mouth run away from you, especially where a particular traveling companion who you just can't seem to stay away from is concerned.

    Can you merely be Astarion's mirror in all this? Can your honeyed words break through his bitter smiles? Or have your compliments doomed you both from the moment they left your lips?

    Summary

    The ability to make his own decisions, while dizzyingly liberating, was also starting to become increasingly daunting, especially when he hasn’t had need to stand his ground in over two centuries.

    Or; the five times someone had to help Astarion say no (and the one time he was able to do it himself)

    Summary

    When one’s survival depends largely on their beauty, it stands to reason that losing control over his appearance was possibly one of the most terrifying things that could have ever happened to him.

    Or; how Astarion falls ill, and learns that he is allowed to be less than perfect.

    “Darling,” he says so very softly, sanguine liquid dripping down his chin. It stains your shirt, seeping into the fabric. “Darling,” he says again, his hand cupping your face, bringing your eyes to his.

    Summary

    There’s a knife at his throat and a slender arm pinning him to the ground, a smaller body straddling him with a grace that might have made Halsin’s blood run hot had the entire thing not reeked of thinly veiled desperation.

    Halsin follows Astarion into the woods at night. They talk.

    Summary

    SPOILERS TO THE DARK URGE STORYLINE IN SUMMARY!

     

    You open your aching burning eyes and they meet pale blue of the pool in the lower level of the Gauntlet of Shar.
    There is a yawn behind you and the set of familiar boots steps beside the bedroll you are sitting on.
    “All right, let’s go kill someone,” Astarion says cheerfully above you. Alive.
    You are back. And you have a day to find a way to keep him this way.

    or

    Withers does weird time-travel magic and returns The Dark Urge back in time so that they can try to save Astarion.

    Summary

    Astarion dissociates during an intimate moment with Tav, and is met with kindness and care he's never had before.
    Focuses on the whirlwind of feelings Astarion has, and what it might be like from his perspective.

    (no use of reader, the placeholder name Tav is used. Tav is referred to with she/her but no physical attributes are given, so any character can be inserted into the scenario)

    Summary

    The vampire nods slowly, letting his body sink back onto the floor once more as he tries to release the tension building up inside of him. He reaches for the vial, but Nir gently pushes his hand away.

    “Don’t,” he insists, pressing the rim of the glass to Astarion’s lips. “I’ll take care of you.”

    Astarion scrunches his nose, pulling away from the other’s touch despite the feelings at the base of his mind screaming at him to give in for once. “Ugh, I’m not helpless, you know. I don’t need you to dote on me.”

    Niraeniel shakes his head. “Maybe so, but you don’t need to carry everything on your own, you know. Just let me help.”

    Summary

    Eve awakens in a grand, unfamiliar city, confused and covered in blood but without visible injuries. Disoriented and struggling with fragmented memories, she wanders the streets in search of answers, haunted by the sense of time lost. Her primary focus is finding Astarion, the one person she remembers clearly, as she tries to unravel the mystery of her missing past and what has happened during her absence.

    Summary

    This is about a headcanon I wanted to explore through narrative fiction. About how it would feel for Astarion to be properly fed after 200 years of starvation - because I cannot even imagine that it would feel “normal” for him to be satiated, despite his vampiric inclinations and instincts to drink whenever blood is available, and despite the painful hunger. I don’t know if it makes sense in the end but oh well.

    Summary

    "Come with me to Avernus," Wyll says, easy, like he’s asking Astarion around for tea. Right. The Blade of Frontiers is the Blade of Avernus now. Sworn to cleanse the Hells of the devils that threaten the Sword Coast or some such rot. What an absurd idea. For a moment, Astarion imagines several ways to kill him painfully. Go there. To the place of her worst nightmares. The place she refused to return to despite his pleading. After everything that's happened, to step foot in that place, without her. It felt like a mockery of his pain to even suggest it.


    The sun rises after the fall of the Absolute and Astarion burns first. Overcome with grief from the death of the first person he truly cared for, and haunted by her memory, Astarion accompanies the Blade of Avernus to Hell.

    Summary

    ”Astarion, I don’t think this is the place,” Karlach snorts, her eyes wide, taking in the shop’s offerings with amusement and more than a little curiosity.

    It most definitely isn’t the place they’re looking for. Gods damn it. He was sure this was it. The mask on the sign seemed a clear indicator. And now that he thinks about it, he’s almost certain he’s heard people talk about a tailor on this street. But unless Figaro has changed careers and become a smut peddler, this is not Facemaker’s Boutique; it’s a sex shop.


    Astarion and Karlach find a sex shop. Imagine…

    Summary

    "He should have known his good luck was doomed to finally fuck him over. What was there but to assume the worst when a slave escaped his master, or pondered the mere concept of even partial autonomy? Was there a name for the emotion one felt when, despite all denial and proof of otherwise for so many tendays, they realised they would never truly be free?

    Astarion stared blankly at the crumpled remains of his tent, canvas slashed and poles snapped in twain his thoughts blank apart from that one word. The finality of it all. The doom of his existence."

    or

    When the shadows of the Shadowlands become the least of Astarion's problems. At least he has Gale...

    Summary

    It had to have been days now. Days since the last time Astarion felt the warmth of the sun on his skin. Days since the last time anybody had spoken a word to him, save for the rattling old carcass that came down to the kennels to check on him each day. Days since he'd seen his companions' faces. Any hope that they'd rescue him dwindled after the first twenty-four hours, leaving him to wonder how he’d developed so much hope in the first place.
