── ☆ ──
An emotional hurt/comfort story between two trauma survivors who can be as snarky and sassy as each other and how they discover they're more alike than either of them know or are willing to admit.

Summary
There's a gala at the Szarr Palace tonight, and Astarion is being punished.
Neither of these are particularly unusual.
What is unusual, though, is the guest list. Dalyria has discovered plenty of strange names, including a group of vampire royals and a number of devils straight from the Hells. What is the Master planning?
Astarion doesn't know, and he doesn't care. He just needs to tailor the Szarr family's outfits and seduce as many partygoers as possible so Cazador may finally allow him some blood. All he must do is turn off his thoughts, give the guests a night to remember, and move on. It's utterly routine.
Or it should be. But nothing is ever so straightforward when devils and vampires mix.

Summary
When he wakes up, he's not himself. Not that he can remember what being 'himself' even means. All he has is a pounding headache and a name, 'The Dark Urge'.
Oh, and memories of the real world and over 500 plus hours of playtime in Baldur's Gate 3.
Now he's stuck inside the game, with no idea how he got there or what the fuck is going on. And very quickly, he'll realise that the real world of Faerun is nothing like the game. Shit hurts, there's no maps, fast travel, or save scumming. And people are far more complicated than simple video game characters.
If he can keep himself alive and make it through this, perhaps there's something waiting for him in Faerun, a life he can build for himself. But the urge is just as real as everything else, and it's out for blood.
All he wants is to find his freedom before the game kills him or the urge overtakes him.

“I was so afraid I would kill you. And then that night…here.” She gestured weakly to the front workbench she’d been avoiding. “When you pinned my wrists… I thought… I thought you were still afraid I could hurt you after I showed you what I’m capable of.” A lone, hot tear fell down her cheek. “I thought you were protecting yourself from me. From what I could do.”
“I was.” His voice was hoarse, and barely audible. “Just… not the way you think.”

Summary
Astarion wasn’t sulking, nor was he hiding from Gale. He was simply taking a relaxing moment to himself. A relaxing moment in the dark, pressed between boxes in what was presumably a storage room.
Sometimes it's easier to ignore an issue when you've got more imminent problems to deal with. Now that he's finally safe, Astarion finds it might be harder to ignore said issues.
This is a direct continuation of 'Bat'tered by the Storm. Updates on Fridays.

Summary
It wasn’t a stirge or a deathfang, Gale choking down a gasp at the humanoid figure madly lapping and guzzling the bowl of blood. It was a vampire.

His answer of a feral vampire spawn would only leaves him with an overabundance of academic questions and emotional complications.

Summary
Miss Fortune can't deny it any longer: they're falling for Astarion and somehow it's not as terrifying as they thought it would be. Is it possible Astarion is harboring feelings for them, too? Now that is the terrifying part. He's been hinting that he has something serious to talk to them about for a while and Miss Fortune has been avoiding it out of a fear that the vampire is planning to break things off. Nobody has ever stayed before; why should he be any different?
In the backdrop of the shadow-cursed lands, the two rogues seek to navigate their feelings, their budding relationship, and what it means to love and be loved. Which is no easy feat for two people who for so long have known only sex and violence. Together, Miss Fortune and Astarion begin to rediscover themselves: who they are, what they want, and what kind of life they want to build once they can break the chains of their past once and for all.

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

Summary
"Nautiloid abductions are supposed to be a fucking hoax, an urban myth, a conspiracy theory bandied about by people in possession of slightly less than the optimal number of marbles. Not actual reality, and certainly not something that happens to circus barkers on the road to the idyllic little town of Trostenwald."
Or: The one where the nautiloid made a detour and picked up an additional genderfluid tiefling.
Or: The one where Molly gets to get on the nerves of foes, fiends, and friends in Faerûn. (In particular, one elven vampire spawn.)
Or: The Mollystarion/Vampire Hunter (I made the ship, I get to name it) fic my brain wouldn't shut up about and now it's everyone's problem.

Summary
Tav is an Ilmateri monk with budding mastery of Ki, the spiritual energy that flows through all things. Astarion is a cornered animal, stuck oscillating between fight, flight, and fawn.
Against Tav's better judgment, he becomes obsessed with a bright note in Astarion's Ki, betraying his relentless will to live.
Halsin and Tav are kindred souls, both with pain that is sometimes too big to hold. Their relationship blooms where nothing else grows: Halsin's cursed homeland, for which Tav's understanding of Ki may prove the final piece of the puzzle Halsin needs to lift the curse. They become pillars of safety in Astarion's life as he learns to survive in a world not designed to make him suffer.
Astarion feels safest reclaiming his body if he has complete control over Tav's. Tav is more than willing to please. Halsin is eager to perform whatever role is needed of him.
Generally canon compliant/adjacent (edit: more adjacent). Lots of angst, hurt/comfort, sex, healing, and happy endings. Essentially that song you hear behind Astarion's tent on repeat in fanfic form.

Summary
“Magistrate Astarion Ancunin has endorsed another bill that will further fatten the wallets of greedy patriars by stealing wages from the working class Baldurian. Though the man is undeniably handsome, this author would liken his beauty to a golden chamber pot, sparkling yet full of shit,” writes Lady Faerie Whispers. A scandal author whose written gossip has captivated the ear, mind, and mouth of every reader in Baldur’s Gate.
After she’s exposed the world of underground vampires, a disgraced Lord Astarion is commanded by his vampire master to unmask the anonymous writer and kill her. Cazador’s only suspect is a recently widowed noble half-elf named Mortavana Selemchant, and though Astarion is a master of seduction, the astute, bold and crass Lady Selemchant proves to be his greatest challenge yet.
Is Astarion capable of seducing such a fearsome woman for his master? Who is Lady Faerie Whispers? And is there anyone with a strong enough resolve to capture the heart of such a cold and callous rake like Astarion?
