    Summary

    The night felt syrupy, gentle, effervescent. He let his guard down, his attention occupied with halcyon reminiscence and low-stakes emotional dilemmas.

    A quick glance at the plaque on the way in stated, ‘House of Healing’. How fucked up could it be?

    Very, he learned.

    Silly question.

    Summary

    The Loviatar’s Blessing Scene. Only it’s Astarion who delivers Tav’s penance.

    While camping in a former temple of Selûne that's been overrun by goblins, Astarion catches Luka Morrigan (Tav) sneaking away to commune with Abdirak, a disciple of the Goddess of Pain. Perhaps this dhampir from Barovia is not such a saint after all?

    “Our Mistress teaches us that pain is an intimate thing,” Abdirak explains, “and in embracing her love, a deeper connection forms between minister and supplicant. Bonds tempered in the fires of pain are impossible to break.”

    That is precisely what Astarion must avoid. He doesn’t want to bond with Luka, he just wants to seduce the boy. And yet, Astarion can’t deny the power he feels while clutching the whip. Is this really any different than Luka offering over his sweet, nectarine blood for Astarion’s nourishment? If this precious castle-born dhampir is so insistent on debasing himself, then is there anyone better than Astarion to show him exactly what that feels like?

    Summary

    “I tried to offer you a gift. A gift of eternity and power.”

    “Interesting name for collar and leash.”

    “You are impossible, Valerie.”

    “I try my best to be, Astarion.”

    “So this is it then?”

    “This is it.”

    -

    Valerie values her freedom over anything in the world.

    She helped the vampire spawn Astarion securing his power and freedom without a thought, and she left the vampire ascendant Astarion rejecting his possessiveness and control without looking back. Her whole life on the road and escaping from her past, she never doubted herself once.

    But what happens, when three years later another conspiracy presents itself in front of Valerie, and every trial of it points to Astarion - her former lover?

    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.

    Summary

    "Astarion!" She's white with horror, frozen. Siobhan makes no attempt to hide her near nakedness. He's already seen too much.

    As he gets closer, he can see countless faint white lines crisscrossing beneath the fresh cuts, decades of self-mutilation. This is not the first time she's done this.

    "You mustn't tell the others," she begs, tears flowing freely down her face. "Please, they wouldn't understand."

    Astarion doesn't know how to respond, struck dumb by what he's caught her doing and her request. Siobhan's eyes search his face frantically, trying to divine what he's thinking and what he'll do next. With a start, he realizes they're playing out the inverse of the night he'd tried to drink from her. Now, he's the one being asked to protect a horrible secret.

    But he can hardly focus on what to do next, all thoughts deafened by the sound of her throbbing heartbeat pounding in his ears and the pungent smell of her blood flooding his nostrils.

    - - - -

    Bloodletting is a remedy that is hardly possible to estimate too highly. Or that's what they say. Siobhan has enough darkness in her past that maybe a little bloodletting is called for. Unbeknownst to her, Astarion is more than happy to oblige.

    Summary

    You’ve spent the last days of your life alone — not by choice, but by necessity. Trust is dangerous, closeness even worse. So you push people away, cut before they can cut you.
    Now, you find yourself in a world that mirrors everything broken inside you: filled with monsters who want you dead and gods who couldn’t care less.
    Then comes Astarion — infuriating, sharp-tongued, and impossible to ignore. He sees too much, and you hate that.
    But as the two of you stumble through a realm built on violence and betrayal, something begins to shift. You see in him what you refuse to see in yourself.
    And maybe, just maybe — even here, even now — there’s something left worth trusting.

    or

    Tav is a BPD girly who is currently a hikikomori, gets isekai'd to BG3 world and end up in a roller coaster relationship with our favorite pale elf.

    Summary

    It's been a decade since Szeryn fled Baldur’s Gate and the confusing haze of memories it holds. Despite having no desire to return, while acompanying their mentor to the city, they are suddenly plucked from the wilderness and captured on a Mind Flayer's ship. And being kidnapped by Mind Flayers is only the second-worst thing to happen to them.

    Looming shadows of a past they hardly remember begin to haunt their dreams as they get closer to piecing everything together, and Szeryn begins to have a very bad feeling of where this journey will lead them.
    But at least they don't feel like they're drowning anymore.

    Summary

    Tav had a life before she was abducted and met everyone. She had a job, family, and a home. She had hoped to share at least some of that with Astarion, they’d been friends after all, but he disappeared after the Netherbrain had been dealt with. Even after Tav had found somewhere to settle, there was still no word.
    She had no intention of waiting for him.
    Tav has her own things to deal with. Her own past haunts her, and she does not have time to deal with Astarion and his drama.

    Summary

    Years after the events of the game, Eon, a High Elf draconic sorceress, battles her inner demons after escaping the clutches of her cruel betrothed, Ryker, with the help of an old friend. The enigmatic pale Elf, Astarion.

    As they navigate the tumultuous landscape of their shared history and unspoken desires, Eon struggles to confront the emotional barriers that threaten to keep them apart. Caught between the lingering shadows of trauma and the undeniable chemistry that sparks between them, Eon and Astarion dance like two stars orbiting each other. The magnetic pull is undeniable, but so is the push of conflicting forces.

    With Ryker seeking to reclaim what he believes is his and Eon’s parents arriving to drag her back into a life she has fought to escape, the stakes rise higher.

    Will they rise from the ashes of their pasts to embrace a brighter future together, or will the ghosts of their former lives tear them apart?

    Notes:
    - Not canon compliant - Ascended Astarion has retained his spawn personality, with very little deviations in his mannerisms.
    - Slow burn - Explicit smut eventually (Starts around Chapter 22)
