Summary
Astarion hates how very, nauseatingly kind Willow is.
It's also one of his favorite things about her (or it will be).
A shameless self-indulgent fic where someone doesn't give into the feral-cat anger of Astarion, and he manages to snag a 10/10 goody good.
Departs from Canon (probably a lot oops)

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
"I had a plan. A nice, simple plan. Seduce you. Sleep with you! Manipulate your feelings so you never turn on me."
A plan that, from the very first moments of meeting Tav, crumbled like cinders right before Astarion's eyes. For with each tearing of his inner walls with her words and charm and care, the rubble repaired the masonry of his heart. Each step of the plan mended and broke to her in ways he hadn't even realized until far later when he realized just how incredible she truly was.
; or, a look into how a Drow Bard of Tav took apart each step in Astarion's plan to ensnare him into love.
