Summary
In the first decade of his enslavement under Cazador, Astarion meets a young Elven man at a bar. By orders of his master, he must bring him back to the Szarr Palace, yet he cannot bring himself to let Cazador take him for good. He possesses a quality too precious to go to waste: concern, the genuine kind.
If only sparing him had been worth the price of a year spent rotting in a tomb.
Two centuries later, and Astarion is free, going about his business as he adapts to his newfound freedom. And on the outskirts of the Lower City, a man caring alone for his ailing father is determined to turn back the clock.

Summary
There is a traitor in Shar's ranks. A masked bandit parades around the countryside, robbing with impunity with a sacred relic of the Lady of Secrets. Shadowheart, a young cleric of the Lady of Shadows, is desperate to prove herself to her Mother Superior. Yet, as she sets out on the hunt, she is surprised to find the traitor seems to know too much about the cult and Shadowheart, herself. But, with a mind full of holes, is it so surprising that she's forgotten so much?
Alyss (Tav) is desperate for coin. With debts to pay to the Thieves' Guild and time running short, she'll take anything to free her of her obligations and escape the city. When the Flaming Fist posts a bounty on a strange, mask wearing bandit whose victims never seem to remember being robbed, it seems like the perfect opportunity to finally make the coin she needs to be truly free.
Before the events of Baldur's Gate 3, two hunters converge on the same target. With a strange new cult growing in the forests north of Candlekeep, the unlikely pair will have to band together to survive. Can they find common ground? Or will the masked cultists claim two more victims on their rise to power in the Sword Coast?

Summary
A collection of short stories all centred around Cazador Szarr's main 7 Spawn, focusing on their relationships, the chaos of being vampire spawn and exploring Astarion's life under Cazador. There will be very little romance or smut; however, there will be some light and softness, especially when depicting the pre-coffin event.

Summary
Auri’s young. She’s innocent. Astarion’s not sure if she’s ever known another’s touch below the waist at all. When she rolls her hips, seeking any kind of pressure, it’s not intentional. He would balk at the idea under most circumstances. Sex is another form of torture. It might not be with her blood coursing through him.
He opens his mouth to entertain the idea–
And Auri’s body goes limp in his arms.
Astarion blinks. When he licks the blood from her neck, she doesn’t move. His chin is no doubt painted red. Panic swells in his breast, but Auri’s chest rises and falls. She’s not dead. She’s just an idiot. “Stupid girl,” Astarion whispers.
It’s for the best. He might have done something Auri would have regretted.
auri and astarion meet before the nautiloid ever flies over baldur's gate. and who wouldn't want to lose their virginity to a vampire?

Summary
It’s pre-nautiloid, D'ylân is grabbing a meal in a tavern before returning to the road, when a stranger sits down beside them.
“Hello, darling.”
How does this encounter with the handsome stranger go? Does D'ylân fall prey to Astarion’s charms?
Or is he a stranger full of surprising knowledge and insight from Astarion's perspective?
The encounter doesn't leave D'ylân unaffected. He has questions; about spawns, about this specific spawn, and has to wonder what to do with the answers.
So, he takes the next logical step: talk to someone who came from a long line of established monster and vampire hunters. His mother.

Summary
“I am the Dark Urge, the killing blow. The truest son of Bhaal and leader of His unholy order-”
“I know,” Gortash interrupted, smirking like a man not face to face with murder incarnate. “I’m capable of figuring out your titles and your infamy for myself. What I don’t know, is your name.”The Cult of Bane is on the rise in Baldur's Gate and its leader is taking liberties. The Dark Urge means to show him what happens to those who insult the legacy of Bhaal.

Summary
When a bond forged lifetimes ago claws its way to the surface, Tav must choose who they are and what they’re willing to become. What is the price you're willing to pay in a realm where trust is a currency few can afford and the price of desire may be more than just your soul?
Excerpt:
He drifts closer until he’s standing just a breath away, towering above me and I’m on my knees beneath him and it feels exactly where I should be. “Tell me, little spark, what did you see this time? A high fortress in Hell? A serpent coiled around a crown?” He motions toward my face and brushes his knuckles along my jaw. “Or just me?” -

Summary
"There, upon the tallest, strongest, glossiest honey-colored horse, adorned in golden armor and fine jewels, strong arms and thick legs driving the steed like an extension of himself, hair whipping around his face wildly as if he could control a blizzard with a word, sat our prince, Son of the Oasis, treasure of Ain’oro. That is why I didn’t notice the sword until it was already penetrating me."
A one-shot about Finlay's victory and subsequent celebration, from the perspective of his adoring knight. Explicit in chapter 2, rated M Finlay kicking ass and being a spoiled prince in chapter 1 :)

Summary
Gale teases the orb with a feather-light touch. There’s a familiar chill as his fingertips sinks into the thick, honeyed pull of pure magic. Too fast, too tight. Does he not deserve a little pain?
As he raises the dagger it seems to relax. And the pleas become 'sink in slow' as a thousand little tongues lap tentatively at his skin, slicking his fingers in dripping wet weave. He lets them sink up to the knuckle. It’s obscene. It’s a ghastly lover’s preparation, easing the way for the bloody knife.
Though, he supposes, Mystra had done the same for him. To him.
Damn it all.
