Summary
What if the person who helped make Astarion into an at least semi-functional person was just suddenly... gone? What would he do then?
This is a post-canon exploration of just that!
It starts off not that long after the victory over the brain, sadly Karlach flipped a soul coin and decided to burn up instead of going on a romantic Avernus trip with Astarion, so now he's trying to figure out how to be a person all on his own.
Shit.
What will Astarion (and I guess the other less important people) left behind do now?
Especially when events conspire to force Astarion to re-examine his feelings about his not-siblings under Cazador and to stop pulling away from his traveling companions. They are only being nice to him because that is what she would want... right?
AKA We see how Astarion becomes the spawn you can meet at the epilogue party, if you did not romance him. Also he gets forced to admit he has FRIENDS. (Eventually.)
You can see the tags, he's not really on his own. This is a good thing, despite how much he whines about it.

A post-canon exploration of just that!
Astarion and Karlach were the hot camp couple, complete with so much public displays of affection people were like here we have pooled our money to get you your own room.
Then she decided to burn up on the end of the pier instead of going to Avernus!Shit.

Summary
TL;DR - hey lets look at the BG3 story and expand out how Karlach and Astarion mighta become a couple.
Astarion and Karlach, at first glance these two companions couldn't be more different.
She's so open and loud and friendly and eager to do good. He's nothing like any of that.
But turns out, they have way more in common than either would have suspected.
Maybe a slight, sullen, suspicious vampire could use somebody who understands, but is nothing like him.
Even better if it turns out maybe she is a little bit like him.

Summary
Six months after the fall of the Netherbrain, Gale and Astarion have gone their separate ways. Astarion is coming to enjoy the simple things in life. For once, he’s murdering, threatening, and intimidating the right people, and earning a tidy amount of gold at the same time.
In Waterdeep, Gale is working hard to find his place among the realm’s most prominent wizard academics, but can’t bring himself to publish a single paper.
When Astarion’s sister Dalyria brings him stories of disappearing vampire spawn children, Astarion is forced back into close proximity with the Waterdhavian wizard he’s tried in vain to get over. Together, Astarion, Dal, and Gale find themselves facing a new threat in the Underdark, one that proves the most depraved schemes in Faerûn did not die with the Dead Three’s chosen.
A story about figuring out who you are after trauma, what happens when you begin to heal, and how to rediscover yourself after turning down untold power.

Summary
For one moment she was all blood, and in that moment he wanted to devour her.
two monsters stumble into camaraderie and try not to get themselves too bloodied. they fail spectacularly.
astarion/durge, solely astarion's pov. game reconstruction/divergence, no canon scenes or dialogue after the nautiloid. lots of art, updates fridays, semi pre-written. heavy on the trauma, heavy on the humour.

Summary
In a sleepy village on the Savage Frontier, a timid drow woman spends her days teaching a farmer's son how to play the flute. But when a nautiloid appears in the sky, the quiet life she's built for herself is thrown into chaos. Alone and infected with a mindflayer parasite, she's determined to find her student before she turns: even if that means forging new alliances with the strange group of survivors she finds along the way.
Adventure, drama and slow burn romance that (loosely!) follows the events of Act 1 of Baldur's Gate 3.
Latest Chapter: The company waits for Astarion to wake. And waits. And waits some more. Then- Halinae receives a visitor, and has a realization.
