Summary
Astarion thought this stupid hot sauce show would last a season or two before it was cancelled. Ten years later, he’s still Cazador’s sidekick, taking potshots for laughs and enduring worse abuse when the cameras stop rolling.
An upcoming guest—famed magician Gale Dekarios—has never seen an episode of Hot Mess, and he’s about to shake things up.

Summary
From the moment he found himself at the Nautiloid crash site, the chains of his compulsion broken, Astarion had one objective: to kill Cazador or die trying. To take back his life. He never gave much thought to what he would do after, or if he even knew what it meant to live.
It was some small comfort that Gale of Waterdeep seemed similarly unmoored.

Summary
“Oh, gods forbid they respond positively to you doing a good thing,” Neve deadpans. She squeezes him a little again. “That’s sort of how it works, Astarion.”
She can’t even see it. Believes the best of them all so earnestly, himself included, that she can’t see how it would all fall away without her at the center. It’s enough to make a person feel like they might actually deserve it.
“And by it, you mean…?” he asks instead.
Her huffed laugh of disbelief ruffles the hair at his neck. “Friendship, you idiot,” she answers. “And the general acquisition thereof.”
Astarion cuts a sideways look at her as best he can with her still nestled so close. “And is that what we are? Friends?”
He’d meant it to tease her, and yet finds that the silence before her answer twists his stomach. Because…he doesn’t actually know, either.
“Yes, Astarion,” Neve says gently, after a moment. “I think we’re very good friends.”
-
Neve and Astarion, continued. She's not a victim. Not a target. Not just one night it's better to forget. But then...whatever in the world could she be?

Summary
"I would like to propose a wager.”
"How fun,” Astarion said. “I’m listening."
"There is a gentleman. The Comte de Dekarios. I propose that he be your next target. I have it on good authority that he will be attending the Hall of Mirrors with us for the masquerade at the palace. I do not believe you will be able to bed him.”
Dangerous Liaisons/Les liaisons dangereuses inspired, but make it Bloodweave.

Summary
Gale had desperately clasped Astarion's wrist, preventing him from fully wrenching away. From fleeing. And for a brief moment Astarion was ready to lash out with all of the feral fury a starving spawn had to offer.
The memory of that scorching touch was like a scar. The imprint of his lightly calloused, bare palm on Astarion's slender wrist was an invisible, white-hot brand upon his flesh. It was only Gale's wide, worried eyes and immediate surrender of Astarion's captured limb that saved him from being torn to ribbons by long-forgotten vampiric claws.
He loathed it. Touching and being touched.
People did not touch Astarion and survive.
Astarion did not touch people destined to live.
---
Astarion has a complicated relationship with physical touch. It brings up a wellspring of memories best left forgotten, and he doesn't even know if he could enjoy it anymore should he ever let anyone close enough to try... or five times Astarion sees Gale being held and has a lot of difficult feelings about it the one time he does it himself and knows exactly how he feels about it.

Summary
A newly Ascended Astarion bites Gale turning him into his spawn in an effort to keep the wizard from death's door. Given that neither have much experience in their new roles, they attempt to take things one at a time, but that can be easier said then done. It doesn't help that with this new connection comes new feelings, (and some not so new feelings).
Astarion swears that Gale will remain his own person with his own autonomy but the more comfortable they get around each other the harder it is trying to decide if it's a result of their new connection or the feelings they've already had.

Summary
Cassius sighs, humming. “Oh, I can play the lute.”
Astarion blinks. “That’s it? That’s all you can come up with?”
“It’s been a long day.”
A laugh escapes him- a genuine, real laugh. And it’s odd because suddenly he can’t remember the last time he laughed like this. It’s awful, and wonderful, and painful, and yet he can’t stop it.
-----
Astarion leverages what little weight he has with what he has. Which is nothing much beyond the broken, crumpled shape of the man he pretends to be. He doesn't understand how to suddenly be more, especially not when in the company of a man who reflects him far too much for his liking in every opposite way.

Summary
To say Astarion disliked Raen from the start would be simply untrue.
Truth be told, after settling the whole nautiloid matter by knife point and sharing a smattering of memories via tadpole, Astarion quite liked the prospect of traveling with the man. After explaining their ocular predicament, the Drow had extended an invitation to join his party right there on the beach.
And the Pale Elf had been mildly ecstatic.
___
Raen is a Drow, and Astarion reads the book by the cover at first glance. He finds out quickly that he is very wrong about most everything concerning Raen.
The Paladin ~might~ have a few more secrets than he does, though.
___
A retelling for my caked-up paladin/bard Drow who is taller than everyone in the party. He needs to be that big to hold all the love he has for all his companions, along with big strong arms to hug Astarion with. He's a sweet man and he's never done anything wrong and I love him with all my heart. Astarion deserves a very good hero man so here he is.
Aka; Astarion once said he was waiting for a hero. Raen showed up a little later than expected but he's here, damnit. -

Summary
Astarion, with inspiration from Sebastian, kills his master, breaking the cycle of death he's forced upon his spawn. With no clear path ahead of him, he reunites with his parents and they help him settle in this new nighttime life he faces.
He opens up a tailor shop in Baldur's Gate, encouraged by his parents. Over the years he meets each of the core companions... and falls for a certain large elf who comes in for more 'civilized' clothes for a conference in the city.

Summary
Astarion fails at seducing Tav and all of a sudden a month has passed without any unwanted sexual encounters and Astarion, for the first time in his life, has the freedom to do whatever he wants with his own body. The problem is: he doesn't know what he wants. That is until a handsome devil appears on their journey to rid themselves of their tadpoles and Astarion experiences true attraction for maybe the first time in his life. But he also doesn't know how to deal with that. And when Astarion begins to think that maybe he'd like a little more power before confronting Cazador, he considers finding himself a patron for some warlock abilities. And Raphael has already proven himself to be helpful. And Astarion likes looking at his face. What could possibly go wrong?
