Summary
Survive.
That was Astarion's only focus in Cazador's mansion of horrors. Be the monster mothers warned their children about, drape himself in shadows and whisper all the right things to lure the desperate and forgotten back to his master. Manipulate, lie, seduce, and see another moonrise.
One illithid abduction later, and he's walking in the sun with a sorceress and her band of infected misfits, away from Baldur's Gate and two centuries of pain. It was the rarest of opportunities, and he fully intended to use his skills to wrap Tav around his finger to protect himself. To survive while the world came apart at the tadpole-infected seams.
It was in the calm moments, the quiet of the camp, that Astarion began to grasp what exactly it meant when someone unselfishly cared for him. Tav didn't just want him to touch her and tell her sweet things. She wanted him to be free, be whole, be healed- and she would shed blood and magic to those ends.
It feels like hopeful dream- until their centuries of life before one another collide with their present, stringing along a cast of monsters, devils, and traitors who would turn it all into a nightmare.

Summary
He tilts his chin up, something almost like pride in his expression. The light catches on the crook of his neck, in the shadows of his white hair.
A bite mark.
Red eyes and pale skin. Claws. Fangs.It all makes sense now.
He's a shapeshifter, too!
And he has no idea elves aren't supposed to look like vampires!Oh, that's adorable. I should help him.
(Part 1 of This Is What We Get)
This is the story of a shapeshifter who falls in love with a vampire, and how the unlikely duo overcome insurmountable odds to find a cure for ceremorphosis. A classic fairytale, really, if you ignore all the ways in which it isn't. It's a slow-burn romance that covers the course of the game, and then goes into post-game content.So sit back, relax, keep your hands and fangs inside the car at all times, and enjoy the show!

Summary
"...What you need is a friend..."
Baldur's Gate is rebuilding, the companions are drifting back to their own lives, and Astarion is left with a victory he can't stand in the sunlight to enjoy. Elowen chooses not to move on. Instead, she walks the road with him as another traveling companion, sharing tents, watch shifts, and late-night honesty.
What follows isn't a grand prophetic quest, but a quieter, stubborn one: Elowen begins chasing half-whispers and forgotten lore about why the sun burns a vampire spawn who refused ascension. Ruins, odd priests, strange books, wrong questions in the wrong temples—little threads she calls "research" and he calls "madness," even as he continues to follow her lead.
Afterdawn is the stretch of road where nothing huge seems to happen from the outside: campfires, small jobs, detours, close calls, and two people circling something they have no words for yet. Underneath, Elowen is pulling on something old and bright and dangerous.
Eventually the thread catches and by the end, the road looks nothing like it did at the start.

Summary
Book 3 of the Threads of Fate Series
Baldur’s Gate stands on the edge of war. As the truth behind the Absolute begins to unravel, Avelyn and her companions are drawn into a city tangled in power, secrets, and dangerous alliances. Enemies move behind noble titles and friendly smiles, and the parasite in their minds grows more unpredictable with every passing day.
But the greatest threat waiting for Avelyn may not be the cult at all.
In the chaos following their victory in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, she vanishes—taken by forces tied to the city’s rising powers. When she wakes, the past she fought so hard to escape has closed around her once again.
The walls of Thornecast still remember her.
While Baldur’s Gate prepares for the conflict looming over the Sword Coast, her companions race against time to find her. Because some ghosts refuse to stay buried…
…and some cages were never meant to hold forever.
