Summary
On the fifth night of their involuntary tadpole misadventure together, Monster Hunter Inara (Tav) clashes with the realm's most obvious vampire when he tries to take a clandestine bite of her. But as with every plan Astarion had come up in his unlife so far, it contains one step only. So what if this gremlin vampire cat actually is forced to face and deal with the consequences of his bite-y actions? Chaos and hilarity ensues, of course.
Or, tfw Astarion has slurped up the only person in camp willing to help him in spite of his vampie... everything, and now has to find a way to bring Inara back. Ideally before the others in camp wake up and bring out the stakes and torches.
A character-focused, introspective version of Bite Night and its events beyond with its serial numbers filed off, because canon is just a guideline anyway, and thus goes way beyond the mere scene. Because perhaps in between the hunger, flailing, misconceptions and bickering a first understanding between Inara and Astarion can be gained. One that actually transcended lifetimes.
Rating is for Chapter 1 only. Everything else is SFW.

Summary
Wyll’s lantern swung closer. Tav could see the gleam of his boots through the underbrush. He was only steps away.
“Do you think he’d be angry, pet?” Astarion mused. “If he found you like this? Would he be heartbroken? Or simply humiliated?”
Of course he wouldn't let her answer. He covered her mouth with one hand, the other pressing her down.
She clenched her jaw, wanting not to tremble beneath him. She should’ve been ashamed. But gods, it was hard to think when Astarion was like this—when he made her feel so alive.
His mouth grazed the back of her shoulder, then up her neck. “Should I bite your scruff while I fuck you in front of your boyfriend? Like a wild beast?”
-----
Astarion thinks seducing her will save him. Only, he isn’t as untouchable as he pretends, and she isn’t as innocent as he thinks—she has secrets sharp enough to cut them both open.Series

Summary
I had an idea of my Tav's Scarlett having a semi-dream, like almost-almost-death flashback during her time before escaping the pod in the nautoloid. It's a memory of herself and her younger sister during their earlier years. Scarlett is aged 22 and Violet is 16. Violet feels she is old enough to be treated more like a sister by Scarlett rather than a child. Their conversation isn't anything special - a repeated conversation that happened a handful of different ways but always ended in the same way. I just wanted to write one of those scenes out as the thing Scarlett envisions in the moment. I hope you enjoy! I had fun writing it!

Summary
Aster has never been in love, and she never will be. It’s not that she doesn’t want to be… it’s just that, well, that would mean trusting someone in ways she doesn’t know she can. Plus, the world is ending! She has more important things to worry about. Like being abducted by mindflayers and having some sort of mutant parasite put in her head, for starters. And between herself and the unlucky companions who have also found themselves in that unsettling situation, they all need to get it together and save the world… or something.
So, no. She’s never been in love and never will be.Or
Friendly neighborhood dnd/bg3 obsessor (me) finally lost their mind enough to write a fanfic about it…
ft. Aster, a cross between my dnd star druid and my bg3 character who is a mess of multiclasses because I was indecisive. This is half novelization of the game (and Gale’s romance line), half whatever I feel like writing :) Enjoy!- Language:

Summary
The escape was everything. Once Silvera reached the surface, she could leave the Underdark and all its lingering horrors behind.
But just as the sunlight hit her face, the mind flayers dragged her back into darkness.
Now, infected with an illithid parasite, Silvera bands together with unlikely companions to find a cure—Astarion, an impulsive red eyed elf. Shadowheart, the pragmatic cleric. Gale, the human wizard whose curiosity manages both charm and contention. With them, she will face the hardest trials of her life.
Her past follows like a ghost. Her magic threatens to spiral into chaos. What will she risk for survival—and what more can she bear to lose?A retelling of Baldur’s Gate 3 with heavy focus on an original drow character, Silvera Baneater.

Summary
Most adventurers get their start somewhere. No matter their motives for their work, however, one thing is for certain- they're probably not ordinary people. For as a wise man once said, happy people seldom fight dragons.
Or:
A collection of backstories for the Tavs from my other fic, Absurd Company. You could consider this a companion to that story, though you don't necessarily need to read this one to understand that one, and vice versa.

An introduction and resource for my tav Samson! Kinda just using this as a D&D character sheet for now. I'll link this work in the notes of any fic I write that includes him for anyone to look at so they have an idea of who he is and what he looks like. Enjoy! <3

Summary
"With a name like Zephyr, she was used to people assuming she was a storm sorcerer. That is, until they got close enough to see the bronze scales that covered her temples. She was not used to people assuming she was a mind flayer. And, she was enough of a manipulator herself to recognize it in someone else. Astarion was nothing but red flags."
Two ridiculous people use each other by faking it until it's not fake anymore.
Follows the plot of BG3 fairly closely. No Dark Urge. Astarion will not ascend, but it's discussed. Tav (named Zephyr in the story) has her own backstory in Baldur’s Gate.
Warnings are mostly for Astarion's backstory and canon-typical violence in fight scenes/backstories. Specific content warnings will be in the notes prior to each chapter when relevant. Very mild/alluded rape/non-con for Astarion and Zephyr's backstories, but nothing explicit.
