    Summary

    —-
    “Look, I don’t do this song and dance thing,” Trei tells him. There’s something tired, but still mischievous in her eyes. “If you want to fuck me, just come out and say it.”

    It’s mostly the performance that pushes Astarion forward, until his nose is brushing against her pumpkin hair, and his lips are right next to her ear. This is all meticulously rehearsed.

    But he’s not really sure what makes him murmur, “I want to fuck you.”

    He doesn’t have to. No one is forcing him, or will punish him for failing. He decides swiftly that it’s for strategic purposes only. Purely self-preservation. Having a Zhent with connections on his side, when and if he ever gets to face Cazador, will be incredibly valuable.

    That’s as far as he gets in terms of thinking, because Trei’s hands are curling into the front of his shirt and the pressure of her kiss shoves him against a tree.”

    Summary

    Astarion's eyes flick to Tav. And for the first time this evening, his gaze rests. Tav's face shows nothing, carefully composed, unreadable even to Astarion's cunning. It makes his gaze linger. Voluntarily or involuntarily, Astarion isn't certain. He doesn't care. What he cares about is the aura that Tav radiates. He has seen it many times over the years, in Cazador himself as well as in his master's enemies and allies; that promise of power. It's delicious.

    Astarion sees a way out of two centuries of servitude and humiliation under Cazador Szarr in Tav, a fellow victim of the mind flayers' abduction.

    His next steps are instinctive. Manipulation is what he knows, what he's good at, what his master kept him around for.

    His plan works—until Astarion realizes that Tav might be more than he bargained for.

    Allies with benefits turns into a sizzling slow burn. Our two idiots get to know each other by sharing good but mostly bad memories, fooling around, and making matters complicated.
    Along their arduous path the events of 1492 DR in and around Baldur's Gate unfold. Annoyingly endearing companions, teasing banter, and bloody battles included.

    Summary

    Baldur's Gate III

    "I do think he's quite dead, darling." Astarion's voice was clear through the fog, a knack he seemed to have. Sev inhaled sharply, trying to taste air over the rancor of blood.

    "I know," he said, a kneejerk reaction that did nothing to soothe the oddity of his morbid actions, especially as he still held the coil of intestines, growing cold in his too-hot hands.

    "Oh, you do, do you?" Astarion asked and his touch was frigid to Sev's blazing heat where expressive fingers brushed Sev's arm. That chill had been noticeable from the moment they'd met as stone-cool arms had hauled him to the ground, despite the sunny day. "Well, so long as you know. Far be it from me to interrupt a man's pleasure...but you may want to be wary of the locals."

    A semi-chronological exploration of Baldur's Gate III events, and life after, in narrative snippets through the lens of The Dark Urge and Astarion. The story lives in small moments. Updates every other week.

    Summary

    A series of mostly canon-compliant short stories covering Astarion's life, from his turning through to just before the game starts. It's angst, so much angst. And eventually, it's wit and charm and sex and vampire stuff and more angst and adventuring and Astarion-is-bad-at-feelings and all the things we love about our favorite broken vampire. It's all from Astarion's POV and all intended as an intense character study.

    Series completed.
