Summary
Someone was going to ruin him, Astarion decided. He was too pure, too sweet of a man to stay that way for long. Someone would take advantage of his kindness and leave him wounded and jaded for life.
And—and that person would not be Astarion.
Astarion meets a darling boy on one of his nightly hunts for Cazador and chooses to run instead of bring him back to his master. Unfortunately for him, Cazador’s arm reaches long and he doesn’t like to lose what is his.

Summary
After defying a god, resisting her darkest urges, and saving the world, Juniper, once the Bhaalspawn known as the Dark Urge finds herself completely, terrifyingly free. With no home to return to and no memories of a life before the tadpole, she accepts Gale’s offer to stay in his tower in Waterdeep. When Astarion, now unable to walk in the sun, has nowhere to go, Juniper asks Gale if he can stay too.
Reluctantly, the three former allies become unlikely roommates: a haunted sorceress trying to rebuild her identity, a vampire cut off from daylight, and a wizard with a tower full of books and feelings he refuses to name.
As they research a way to bring sunlight back into Astarion’s life, old wounds resurface, new bonds form, and unspoken feelings begin to stir. Juniper thought saving the world was the hard part. But learning how to live in it might prove even harder.

Summary
Astarion and Rin have fallen for each other, and now they need to figure out what that means while also managing the to-do list of terrifying villains waiting to kill or be killed in Baldur's Gate, including the figure that's been hunting Rin for years.
This story focuses on the scenes in between and alongside the major canon story beats. It also expands quite a lot on Rin's history/sub-plot, so works best if you've read previous works in the series :)

Summary
When Rolim wakes up after the crash of the Nautiloid, he can hardly believe the reality he finds himself in.
The compulsions once forced upon him by Cazador are gone—and somehow, the sun no longer burns his skin.
But freedom comes with a price: an illithid tadpole now burrows through his grey matter and with it, a creeping loss of his vampiric strength and instincts.
He soon finds himself among a ragtag group of survivors, all infected, all searching for a cure. One of them stands out more than the rest: Astarion.
Handsome, sharp, and—unlike most—genuinely respectful of Rolim's boundaries. While Shadowheart hides her own secrets and Lae'zel simply doesn't care to ask, Astarion sees Rolim's need for space... and honors it.
As their journey twists deeper into uncertainty, a question begins to take shape:
What will become of them all when the fate they seek to change refuses to be rewritten?AU where Astarion is a 239 year old mortal elf and magistrate and Tav is the one under Cazador's thumb!
Have fun! -

Summary
How much time had passed since she fled from Baldur's Gate? How long was she held captive by the mind flayers? Now, they were about to embark on a journey back to a city she never expected to return to, accompanied by a man whose mission was to reunite her with her family. Hopefully, her botched engagement announcement to Cazador Szarr meant he had moved on.
-
Esther (half-elf, wild magic sorceress) ran away from home to escape high societal expectations and her family's schemes to use her for more political gain, only to be kidnapped by mind flayers later on. The Nautiloid crash reunites Astarion and Esther. The story takes place over the course of the game with flashbacks and time skips, eventually getting to a post-game timeline. Creative liberties will be taken that do not always align with specific events and characters.

Summary
Astarion and Mazikeen find themselves in a living nightmare where monsters aren’t the only things that lurk in the shadows.
Just a taste of chapter one:
I tried to shove the shadows away, wrestling for control that had never truly been mine. I willed them back inside, but they refused. Please, I begged them silently. Just this once. Listen to me.
“Let me go,” he growled.
“I’m trying!” The more he struggled, the tighter the shadows pulled. “Stop—” I choked on a strangled breath. Our arms were pinned, legs tangled, his leather-clad knee wedged between my thighs. “You’re making it worse,” I coughed.
“Oh, I’m making it worse? Forgive me, I wasn’t expecting to be molested by the dark today.”
“I… I…” The words stammered out, breathless as the shadows constricted. “Can’t breathe.”
“Then release them, darling,” he snarled the endearment like a curse. “Unless suffocation is part of your courting ritual.”

Summary
Its been a long time since I last posted on here. Here is a summary of The One I Gave my Heart To.
The chapter begins with a serene morning in Evereska, where the protagonist, Valerya Tonberry (Tav), has lived with Astarion since since the defeat of the Netherbrain. This chapter will delve into the deep bond between the Valerya and Astarion, highlighting their affectionate interactions and the profound love they share. The narrative then shifts to a more somber tone, recounting the Valerya's past heroic deeds, including saving Baldur's Gate and restoring the reputation of the Sun Elves. Valerya's relationship with Astarion is further explored, revealing the challenges they faced together, including Astarion's traumatic past and his struggle with his vampiric nature. The chapter concludes with Valerya and Astarion being discovered by their companions, who express concern and support for the couple. Valerya's determination to help Astarion find a cure for his condition is evident, setting the stage for the ongoing journey and challenges they will face together. This chapter beautifully captures the themes of love, sacrifice, and resilience, setting the tone for the rest of the story.
