    Summary

    "Oh Gods, he's been turned to ashes!" Karlach cried out.

    "No, not ashes," Halsin said, frowning in confusion. Looking closer, the wildflowers next to the clothing were trampled slightly, as if something small had crawled through them.

    "Jelly, then! Gods, poor Fangs, what are we-?"

    "Um, guys, you might want to, ah, well..."

    -or-

    Astarion gets turned into a young child. The party takes care of him.

    Summary

    " …the sad part is,
    that I will probably end up loving you without you for much longer than I loved you when I knew you.
    Some people might find that strange.
    But the truth of it is that the amount of love you feel for someone and the impact they have on you as a person,
    is in no way relative to the amount of time you have known them. "
    - Ranata Suzuki


    This is a series of interconnecting stories that detail the in-between scenes / adventures that occur during the party’s journey from the crash site to Baldur’s Gate !

    There will be lots of missing scenes / codas / extended scenes / side stories / etc. between them all since there is a lot of travel time & short / long rests that are filled with potential for interactions.

    Main focus is upon Astarion / Tav, but with plenty of dynamics developed between them & everyone else as well in the group !

    All these stories will be based off my first completed playthrough , thus what happened there will be what happens here in regard to game events, but creative liberties will be made on my part for other pieces.

    Summary

    Dolyn is at her wit's end with the endless disapproving sighs from a certain pale elf. If she didn't need his help to deal with their little tadpole problem, she would've left him behind long ago.

    But even she has to admit that Astarion's easy on the eyes... and maybe she enjoys his company... He might be the end of her.

    ── ☆ ──

    An emotional hurt/comfort story between two trauma survivors who can be as snarky and sassy as each other and how they discover they're more alike than either of them know or are willing to admit.

    Summary

    Astarion lets his eyes slip closed, the words soaking into him. “Poor little Chosen,” he teases, studying the faint lines of the orb as they trickle down from his under eye. “He doesn’t know how to do anything but worship.”

    “Let me show you. Please.”

    “I like it when you beg.”

    “Astarion.” His name is like honey, like chocolate, like wine. Something decadent, every syllable indulged. “I’ve already availed you of one of my talents this evening—“

    “Cocky.”

    “—and I am eager to avail you of another.”

      I absolutely adored part one of the story. If I had more time as it’s a Sunday to read the whole thing, I would. It was just such heartbreaking writing about Astorian whole trauma stuff. Like just such in-depth focus on him and him healing and him having valid trauma actually actual consequences., like his eating habits and panic attack attacks and his relationship with sex.
      All of that written amazingly.
      Genuinely, I will be going back to this and reading the whole thing.
      Just beautiful and actually made me feel really depressed, but in a good way, I guess lol

    Summary

    It had to be Astarion’s choice. Astarion’s decision. That’s what this was all about. Astarion needed to be the one to initiate intimacy. He needed to know he had the freedom of choice- that Halsin would be here for him regardless of how long it took or how difficult it was for him.

    Astarion's got a lot of issues with intimacy, with allowing himself to be loved. Halsin's got all the time in the world to help him figure it out.

    Cuddling is a functionally useless activity, but maybe it's not so bad when it's with Halsin.

    Summary

    But it’s Halsin’s deep rumbling voice that keeps Astarion there, almost distracted, just peeling at the corners of mental escape. And it’s what he’s saying, filth he never would have expected from such a seemingly stoic man that really does him in. It makes his stomach turn and his skin tingle and his eyes water, every drag of Halsin’s length through his body actually pleasing him.

    “Do you wish I were him?” Halsin asks, at least having the decency to sound a little affected. His big hands curl around Astarion’s hips, fingers digging into his hip bones just shy of painful. “Do you wish it were the wizard taking you like this, whispering in your ear?”

    Astarion doesn’t not wish that, but he doubts Gale could fuck him like this. He’s not in any state to communicate that.

    Summary

    P.S. DO NOT FORGET – SAVE ASTARION. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, ABOVE ALL ELSE, SAVE ASTARION.

    Aruna wakes up on the beach without a single memory. Not of how she got there, not of who she is – not even her own name can be remembered. All she has is a ring, a pretty stone, a pair of daggers with curious engravings, and a letter instructing her of one crucial mission: save Astarion. Seems simple enough.

    Until she meets Astarion, of course.

    Summary

    Halsin discovers an abused elfling in Cazador's basement. Will he be able to take care of this heavily traumatized child?

     

    In which spawns keep the appearance and psyche they got turned in forever, so Astarion has been 39 year old for 200 years. Halsin adopts him (and kinda re-traumatizes him in the process but hey he's doing his best). Not enough fics talk about how Astarion was a child when he got turned, so… here we are.

    Summary

    Astarion has ascended, and she has stayed with him. Life in the Crimson Palace isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Is there a chance for their relationship to go back to how it was? Or is it too late for the Ascendant and his consort?

    This series is about Ban, my Tav, and the Vampire Ascendant. Will be angst and smut, with sprinkles of fluff.

    This fic is a softer take on Ascendant!Astarion and of the changes he undergoes after the rite. Can Ban handle the change, and if a chance came, would she choose to run? And can the Ascendant win her back in time? Inspired by the concept of vampire wives and that IGN interview with Larian that discussed the ascension.

    Summary

    A series revolving around the life of one Vampire Ascendant and his consort.

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions; the road to heaven is paved with bullshit and busy work. Astarion and Ban navigate the world post-ascension. The journey to healing is never linear, and this series chronicles moments in their life eternal.

    Summary

    With the weight of the world quite literally on your shoulders, it can be hard to relax. You found yourself awake far too late contemplating this, which is not uncommon with the stress of it all, although this time you are joined by a guest.

    You meet Astarion again a few nights later, which has only served to heighten the tension. Relieving any sort of tension is easier together.

    (AKA Astarion joins you for a rant, a confession, and a little smut. Chapter 2 is where you’ll find the smut!)

    Summary

    Astarion is so much in love with Gale that it hurts. Which makes it a gloriously bad idea to take him as his plus one to a wedding. He just wants to pine in peace, but shipping students, sweet exes and maybe even Gale himself have other plans.

    Summary

    Astarion had never been particularly good with people - it kind of came free with the whole vampire thing. So it was slightly problematic when he found himself not only surrounded by people, but good people at that. People he didn’t necessarily want to hurt. Fortunately, Astarion knew exactly what to do in this case: make himself emotionally unavailable. Unfortunately, those people didn’t exactly make it easy for him…
