Summary
“It’s just… odd,” he’d confessed to Desi one night. “Nearly four decades of life that I can hardly remember. Not that the last few centuries stand out so distinctly, either…” His lips had thinned, pressing together. “But I would've been someone, once.”
Perhaps it was because he was beginning to feel like he had a life again that he started to think about the one he'd lost.
Or--
Astarion is reunited with his parents.

You've been jilted by Wyll - the man who you thought was your knight in shining armor. He's left you with the entire weight of Baldur's Gate on your shoulders, as you grapple with the potential of an impending power void.

Summary
Like instinct, Astarion finds the vein in Filraen’s wrist that connects his fingers all the way to his heart. The moment his fangs sink into the Drow’s skin, blood pools into his mouth, and Astarion feels like a man drinking water for the first time in weeks.
He sucks and pulls, lapping at every drop with his tongue to make sure none goes to waste. Filraen’s blood tastes syrupy sweet tonight from the mead, thick and warm as it works its way down his throat. It’s addicting in more ways than one—the taste is divine, but something more primal pools in the lower parts of Astarion’s stomach. The kind that makes him want to bare his fangs at anyone who dares get too close to his Drow, that might try and take this away from him.
There’s a careful hand touching the base of his skull, pulling Astarion from his degenerating thoughts at the perfect moment. The long fingers slip up the back of his scalp and thread into his wavy hair like a soft caress. It’s comforting, has Astarion sighing wistfully into Filraen’s wrist.
---Or, come read about a sad bard and a sadder vampire falling in love.

Summary
Taking down Bhaalist assassins, being constantly reported on by the Baldur’s Mouth, and occasionally babysitting a flock of tiefling children isn’t quite the dream life for Astarion Ancunín. Eight months after the fall of the Netherbrain, he and his redeemed Bhaalspawn lover, Henri, are still taking shaky steps forward in establishing a new life for themselves free from their respective masters.
When Gale Dekarios comes to visit with news of a grant awarded to Blackstaff Academy to research improvements in the lives of vampires, Astarion sees an opportunity to give back the lives he unwillingly stole from the vampire spawn in the Underdark. What kind of trouble awaits Astarion and his Bhaalbabe at Blackstaff Academy? Is this research and grant legitimate? Or is something more malicious brewing under a facade of academic knowledge and undead charity?

Summary
Vampires are among the most hated beings in the galaxy. Cassian Andor would say he has more reason to hate them than most.
When a hurt and starving vampire stumbles into the bar where Cassian's trying to drown his past, it's a meet-ugly that nearly kills them both. After it's over, Cassian's just grateful he'll never see Ruescott Melshi again.
And then he does.
