    Summary

    An all-human no-magic modern AU where you're a washed up cook attempting to keep on the straight and narrow and Astarion is the mysterious new guy in town. The slick lawyer is just as kinky as you are, and the sex is great, but the more time you spend with him, the more red flags start to appear. It's only when Astarion reveals he's been in an abusive relationship for over a decade that it all starts to make a depressing kind of sense. You're an experienced dom who just wants to take care of him but navigating Astarion's insecurities might just be the hardest challenge you've ever had to face.

    Updates every other Thursday.

    Summary

    For a few moments she struggled to disentangle herself, to remember which traumas were her own and which belonged to the man to whom she had offered her heart, to recall where D’ahtlana stopped and Astarion began. Yet even as she gathered up the pieces of her scattered mind, the screams that had echoed through the now severed connection persisted...

    A trap discovered too late results in the Reithwin Mason's Guild being razed to the ground, entombing a certain vampire spawn in the rubble.

    Summary

    Astarion is captured by a band of mercenaries led by Araj Oblodra who have heeded an underground bounty posted by Cazador Szarr to bring his wayward spawn back to his palace at Baldur’s Gate, but Tav and the rest of their companions aren't going to let him be taken without a fight.

    Only those who have kidnapped their resident vampire already have a few hours ahead of Tav and the others. And based upon the evidence left at the scene of the abduction, it isn't looking like they have much time left to find him. That only serves to fuel their determination to get him back all the sooner.

    They only hope they can reach him before anymore hurt is dealt.

    Summary

    Halsin smiles, "It's hardly anything at all. I've had this shop for many years, you never get used to the cosmic horrors of the city." He crosses his arms. "Now you could either allow yourself to feel shame or you could accept this for what I will, someone needed to stop in my shop to catch his breath and have a cup of tea."

    "Tea?"

    "Chamomile. It's good for the nerves."

    The stranger nods, he looks utterly exhausted.

    ---

    Modern AU where Halsin runs a plant nursery and Astarion is agoraphobic with severe PTSD after years of abuse from Cazador.

    Summary

    Here was the thing, the cruel part of it, the wound, that did not stop bleeding, that had him scratch and turn mad: He would never know if it had been necessary. If – maybe – he could have had it all. If he had actually smothered and destroyed a precious thing he had been presented with.

    Summary

    It was the smallest he had ever looked to Astarion, but there was no comfort to be found in it. Astarion thought he had seen every twisted mask that face was capable of – from sadistic pleasure to bored detachment and everything in between – but he was wrong. The icy hatred in Cazador’s eyes was a novelty that chilled Astarion to his core, and he knew his master would not rest until he made his creation regret the day it stepped out of line.

    Astarion and his companions prevented Cazador from completing the Ascension, but his former master escaped before they could strike a killing blow. Now, in the wake of the Absolute's defeat, Astarion has no choice but to wait and see what form Cazador's revenge might take.

    Summary

    “There was a monster hunter in the marsh, near the hag’s lair. A gur. Looking for you.”

    Astarion froze. “Gur?” he managed, but even that word came out in a strangled tone. Only one person would send a gur after him.

    “Yes.” Jonashi turned his head, enjoying the open fear on the vampire’s face. “He seemed quite interested in knowing where he could find you.”

    ***

    Wherein Jonashi, the Dark Urge, considers turning Astarion over to the gur.

    Summary

    "The Dark Urge found itself gnashing its teeth, hungry to sink into flesh, to carve and rend. That one, it thought. That one is perfect. It just knew that the pale elf would make the prettiest corpse, splayed and bled out on the hungry stone altar in its father’s temple."

    The annual Blood Moon was nearly arrived, and for such a special occasion Lord Bhaal demanded an equally special sacrifice. Someone vile. Someone beautiful.

    Or: Astarion had never dreamed that one day he would be the one being hunted on the streets of Baldur's Gate. Honestly, what were the odds of that?

    Summary

    A frog jumps out of boiling water, but heat it slowly? The frog won't try to escape until it's too late.

    Lord Cazador Szarr saved him the night of the Gur attack. He took him in as a ward and offered shelter and protection. By the time Astarion realised what life as a vampire's spawn really meant it was too late to run.

    An Astarion-centric story that winds the clock back to the night he was turned. Focusing on Astarion’s character journey from a spoilt and naïve young man to a trickster rogue with a casual relationship with murder and a need to see his master die in a fire. Also exploring the Szarr family drama, the other six spawn and Vellioth with some vampiric politics and a cult-like culture holding them all together.

    Summary

    Astarion took a deep breath, not needed, but it helped to clear his senses - metal. Similar to blood, enough to make him salivate. Rust. Iron. He pressed his head onto the floor, the clanging sound of metal hitting stone enough to make him flinch. He wasn't unfamiliar with the feeling of a muzzle on his face, the thing pressing around his jaw, a metal bar tightly pulling against the corners of his mouth. He couldn't close his teeth, but his tongue still tried to lap at the iron taste of the contraption, probably like a dog would. The hunger still there even if dulled.

    His hunger was dulled.

    Cazador steals Astarion's freedom and his memories. Alias: an amnesiac Astarion is thrown into act 3 and has to try and navigate a terrifyingly different new world.

    Summary

    Between the beats of Tav’s heart, the world winked from existence. Astarion lurched in confusion, clawing at his own throat when he realized that he couldn’t hear himself scream. He could feel someone’s grip squeeze his wrist painfully tight. They tugged him towards some random direction, and he tripped over his own feet, tumbling to the ground.

    Five years post-game. While headed to Gale’s tower, Astarion is cursed by a vicious spell that sends him reeling. Tav is immediately captured by the mysterious woman who cast it--someone angry and powerful, with a vendetta against them both. Blind, deafened, and terrified, Astarion soon finds himself caught up in the throes of a vast conspiracy that involves his haunting past, the Urge’s many sins, and the very future of Waterdeep.

    (Meanwhile, Gale has problems of his own...)

    Summary

    Ever since he died, Astarion has had to be what Cazador shaped him into. He is valued for his looks, not what he has to say. Any hope that it was different away from his sire is shattered as Astarion is told over and over again to be quiet.
