Summary
It's been three years and a somewhat damaged Tav learned to move on. But what do you do when the devil you defeated returns, bringing with him the hatreds time couldn't bury, - and threatens to unravel everything? And what if his plan is so monstrous that Tav may not have to kill him, but save him this time?
----------------------
OR: A depressed Raphael fell first, a depressed Tav fell harder.
----------------------
Update June 2025: This story originally started as a collection of connected one-shots. The plot development felt jumbled after a while, so I moved the original prologue more to the back.Series

Summary
Captain Tav Valnorin wakes in the middle of the night from a strange, somewhat prophetic dream. She finds herself alone on the docks of Broken Mast Bay, drowning her sorrows.
The one and only Captain Astarion sees this and joins her in her solitude, for better or for worse.“I’ll see you on the sea. May our swords never cross again,” Tav held herself back as much as she could, keeping her breath still in her lungs. She could feel Astarion’s presence behind her, unmoving. Waiting for something.

Summary
“And would you love that home,” he said slowly, “in whatever form you could have it?”
Lyanna closed her eyes, and chose to believe. “Yes,” said Lyanna forcefully.
Kidnapped and tormented by a sadistic wretch, Lyanna makes a deal with a creature from another dimension to return to Astarion--however she can have him. The man she finds is not what she expects.

Summary
Disclaimer: I try my best to write x readers as relatable and inclusive, but I also want the character to be impactful and tangible. So, yes, the reader character will have their own traumatic experience(s) (open to personal interpretation) and is cisfem. (People who are not cisfem can absolutely be impactful and tangible, genitalia specifics is just important for the immersion of some scenes.) Details of appearance will not be described at any point- only actions attributed to body parts and a few "you're beautiful"s here and there. Yes, the reader has hair and it is interacted with- I'm so sorry bald people. But none of the "he grabbed your long, pin straight, silky locks" white defaultism bullshit. Anyways if you don't have trauma fuck off! Just kidding I love you, you can stay. It just may affect your ability to insert yourself at certain points. The severity, type, or length of trauma is not specified, just that it affects the reader permanently.
This work may be triggering at points as it describes PTSD flashbacks and other mental health related issues, like suicide and self harm.

Summary
This story describes the journey both literal and figurative, of my female half-drow tav Ishtaria and spawn Astarion to find a cure for his condition. In my version of events they are not together at the start: Astarion leads the spawn in the underdark while Ishtaria tries to maintain a relationship with mother superior Shadowheart. Astarions perspective on his choices, his feelings for tav and how to go forward will be dealt with.
Fair warning: this tav is not a paragon. She sided with the goblins, she helped Wyll kill Karlach and encouraged Gale to godhood. In this version Wyll doesn’t leave the party. Above all, during game events, she was a pragmatist. She took the decisions that made sense to her background as a rogue half drow from a strange situation.
She began a romance with Astarion and Shadowheart but chose Shadowheart in-game. The story will deal also with her development, her feelings about her actions and her future.
There will be a version of a Dom/Sub sexual relationship in this story; but I do not ascend Astarion and the dynamic is different than that with spawn tav. -

Summary
”Help the others first. I'll explain everything.”
--------------------------------
After managing to escape the Monastery relatively in one-piece, the camp settled for the night, nearing closer to the Shadow-Cursed Lands at last. But under the gaze of the full moon, not only do they discover The Cult of the Absolute has more than goblins and drow at fighting their battles, but the true identity of their trusted leader.

Summary
“Come join me,” he requests.
Thalia’s eyes flick across Astarion’s bare back as he turns around, tracing over the lines of those infernal letters. Guilt rises immediately. She knows full well how difficult it is to display oneself this way, to trust them so deeply to do so. And yet she can’t help but stare, now that she knows exactly what the markings are.
“Join you where exactly?” Thalia asks, an eyebrow raised. She looks around, finding nowhere else to go.
“Swim with me,” Astarion clarifies. His fingers have begun to dexterously loosen the ties of his pants.
Thalia feels herself warm from the tip of her nose to the ends of her ears as an embarrassed flush works its way across her face. “I don’t know how to swim,” she confesses quietly before Astarion can get too much further undressed.

Summary
He couldn’t remember waking up, he couldn’t remember moving, but he was stood up now, on the opposite side of the fire from where his bedroll lay, the forest dark and still around him. Something coated his hands and arms, thick and sticky, and he lifted them in confusion that quickly melted into horror.
Blood.

What if the scene of Alfira being dead was just a horrible dream?

The Curious Case of their Odd Companion by SassyAngel

Summary
Meeting Aydren was an odd experience, almost as odd as being hijacked by a floating alien spaceship and eyefucked by an ugly little worm that somehow became a permanent resident. Despite the situation the young human found himself in, he wore simple yet expensive clothing. The only weaponry he had was an enflamed sword and a dingy bow, both having been pilfered in the Nautiloid. He was wholly unprepared for whatever adventure he had set out on, yet he didn’t so much as blink when Astarion put a knife to his throat. The smaller human instead looked straight into Astarion’s eyes with a mix of boredom and superiority.
When it was revealed that they were both simply screwed over by Mindflayers of all things, he didn’t seem to care either way. He told Astarion “do what you want” when the vampire suggested teaming up.
-------
Or in which everyone is pretty much done with Aydren (Tav)'s shit.

Summary
“Really, Tav,” he sighed, swirling the drink. A brothel, a bargain, a barbed remark. “You have a type, don’t you? Elven prostitutes? Again? It’s rather embarrassing, dear.” Astarion always turns pain into performance, but tonight, his deflections hit a nerve. Tav hears what he won’t say. And when he sneers that she has a taste for whores like him, she only has one answer: Like attracts like, doesn’t it?

Would You Fall In Love With Me Again? by WilliamSandison

Summary
When Viktor woke, he was in a room full of white. It was clean, oddly so. He was used to the constant mess of his apartment. He groaned, pressing the palm of his hand to his eye. “You’re awake.” A voice calls from the corner of the room, someone he didn’t notice beforehand. Viktor glanced over to the owner of the voice, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion. “Astarion?” He questioned, staring at the elf.

Summary
There were steps to this process. First, make sure Astarion was out. It would be unwise to do this while his husband was in the apartment with him, wouldn’t it? No, no matter how bad it got or how distraught he felt, Viktor would always wait for Astarion to leave their house.
The second step was to lock the doors. Usually, he did this in the bathroom, since the clean-up was easier and there was no chance of getting anything stained. Viktor stood before the mirror, his hands pressed tightly against the counter. He felt the cool marble under his touch, his whole body shaking.
The third step, don’t hesitate. Viktor knew himself, he knew the moment he hesitated he’d convince himself to stop.

Summary
The goblins have been defeated, their camp destroyed, and the tieflings and druids have joined camp for a night of celebration. Despite being hailed as a hero, Tav finds herself unable to join in the festivities, too overwhelmed by the recent changes in her life. Gale offers a slightly different perspective, and his words might be just what Tav need to get back on her feet.
