Summary
Astarion is still trying to suss out how he feels about touch. Others touching him, that is. How much he likes touching her is abundantly clear. Especially when she bends over in those deliciously tight leather trousers.

Summary
As he stared at Tav, who was quietly organizing her pack by the fire, his half-formed thoughts and ideas suddenly crystallized into a cold, perfect plan. He’d seduce her, romance her, make her feel like she was the only girl in the world. And after he had given her the night of her life, positively ruined her for anyone else, he’d begin whispering in her ear. He’d become her lover, her confidant. And then she would become his puppet. That was more than a fair trade. He’d have a gorgeous meal, his space would be guaranteed in their little group, at the top where he belonged, and then somehow, he didn’t know how, but, somehow, Tav would waltz their merry band back to Baldur’s Gate and drive a stake right through Cazador Szarr’s heart. For him. Afterwards, well, Tav had served her purpose. Then he could truly do as he pleased.
Astarion smiled a wide, real smile and finished his wine, wincing at the cheap, bitter taste.
At that moment Tav looked up from her supplies and caught him staring. He raised his empty goblet to her and she waved back, a warm smile softening her lovely features.
This was going to be so easy.

Summary

Summary
"Volo," said Tav.
"Would taste like blackstaff wine," Astarion said. "Boisterous, bright, and unbalanced."
"I like that," said Tav. She was sprawled on cushions, sorting through their supplies for dinner. "Different from the namesake, but it works. Your turn."
"The hag," Astarion suggested.
"Oh gods," said Tav. "That's an interesting one. Something that starts lovely, but with an awful surprise. Elverquisst, but there's a rotting fish at the bottom of the bottle."
----
A troupe-master bard is plucked up by the Nautiloid. She transitions from directing plays to directing an adventuring party and becomes immediate chaos-gremlin-besties with the rogue. This has a number of almost disastrous consequences and involves far more talking about feelings than any vampire should reasonably be expected to do.
A story about a bunch of traumatized people becoming better, because that can happen when you find yourself in a new place and suddenly have a support network.

Summary
He loves her. He loves this. He wants it all.
But what is one to do, when you've made an enemy of a god?
Scenes between Astarion and Tav, taking place late in the game's story and beyond.
Chapter 1 is pure smut. The rest of the chapters are smut with some narrative buildup and story beats.
Tav is left unnamed and her appearance vague to make it easier for the reader to imagine their own if desired.

Summary
Astarion sat on his throne, holding court in a posture that seemed to mock both the seat and the setting: leaning on one armrest, chin propped up on his palm, one leg thrown over the opposite arm, and an expression that suggested he could not possibly be more bored.
OR
Medieval-Glam-Rock-Bard!Tav skipped town after they smashed the Netherbrain and Ascendant Astarion *smashed her heart.*
Now, five years later, maybe they'll get a cup of coffee and work things out.
Nah, I'm lying this is a banter-aggressive, drama-heavy, fake
datingcourtship, slow-burnin' story informed by personal and shared trauma, identity, dysfunction, and the unresolved sexual tension that only a full-Lawful/Neutral-Evil Astarion vs. Mostly-Chaotic-Sometimes-Neutral Good Tav could produce.Series

Summary
“I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”
“I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”
“The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”
“Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

The Vampire Ascendent has crossed a line. Eleven years after making the biggest mistake of her life and losing the man she loved, tiefling wizard (now Archmage) Rosalie decides it’s time to put this Astarion in the ground for good. Hopefully, both her head and her heart are strong enough to see this awful task through to its end.

Summary
Tav joins Halsin at his settlement a year after the events at Baldur's Gate. Seeing him in charge does something to her that she cant quite shake.
Mostly smut with feelings.
--
“Halsin, we’re in your library, we should go to your roo–” she hissed, but he cut her off.
“I will take you where I please this night. You wanted me in charge, well, listen to me, then, and do not disappoint me,” Halsin said, his voice low as he grabbed her hips on both sides, pulling her up to meet his hard length straining against his breeches.

Summary
Astarion is painfully familiar with what it means to want.
Has spent centuries doing nothing but wishing, hoping, desiring, wanting.
Yet it’s been so terribly long since he’s been allowed to have something. Can’t remember what it was like to feel something truly belongs to him. It all seems so far and distant. Like it could have been a dream. An entirely different life all together. A cruel and empty promise.
But Astarion had her.

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?
