    Summary

    “Go.” Auri's voice is hoarse. “This isn't your problem.”

    Astarion's eyes narrow. “If you really think that I'm going to leave you here by yourself–”

    “Astarion, please.” Again, Auri begs. “Something was wrong with that meat I ate. It feels infernal. Everything’s so warm. I can't–”

    Summary

    Astarion was perhaps addicted.

    His tongue prodded around his mouth, sliding across his teeth, licking at his lips, swiping up every possible drop he may have missed. His fingers shook as he brought them to his chin, searching for any leftover morsel. His hunger was a writhing thing in his belly, spurred on by this luscious, delicious new meal.

    Just a taste, that’s all it should have been. A one time thing to make him stronger. Yet he found himself desperate for this not to be the case.

    --

    Or exclusively drinking one person's blood has consequences. Namely, the vampire is a predator after all, as charming as he may be.

    Summary

    “I will give you a tenday to convince your love to relinquish his Ascension. If, in that time, he agrees to the terms and nullifies his contract, you both regain possession of the seven thousand souls and gift them to me.

    “If, after ten days, Astarion does not agree…” Raphael reaches forward, his hand outstretched to you. “...you pledge your soul to me. Forever.”

    Summary

    You managed to convince Astarion not to go through with the Rite of Profane Ascension. He remains a vampire spawn, and you now offer your blood from time to time to help with his sanguine hunger until a solution is found.

    Even though you had both decided to stay as friends back at Moonrise Towers, lines begin to blur once more as other cravings come to the surface… and things with Astarion are seldom uncomplicated.

    _____________

    Impatience gripped your nerves ferociously. "These things take time, Astarion."

    "Oh, my darling… I have all the time in the world, but you only have a limited supply of blood," he whispered softly and you could almost taste his taunting words.

    The secret to surviving is simple. It’s the execution that poses problems.

    Don’t die.

    It’s that easy.

    Summary

    “Your turn,” she sighed, breathing still irregular. He swallowed back his surprise. No one had offered that before. “If that’s okay. You don’t have to.”

    “N-no, it’s… I’m flattered, darling, but don’t feel like you must,” he smiled reassuringly up at her. He hoped it was reassuring; not scared, not faltering, just easy confidence, always.

    “I want to,” she replied. He swallowed again. She picked up on his hesitancy, propping up on her elbows. She brushed his hair from his eyes. “But I only want to if you want me to, Astarion.”

    “Ah. That’s…” he sighed and pushed to his knees. What was wrong with him? His head was clouding with smoke; dark, swirling shapes in the fog that he didn’t want to remember, not now, not with her. Red eyes, glinting fangs, thou shalt know that thou art mine, mind and body, you are in no place to refuse me, wretched thing. “If you’re sure, love.”

    Summary

    “Fine,” she said. “Do you know the statistically most common way for the authorities to take out organized crime?”
    Well, if that was her idea of enticing conversation, it was no wonder she had all those evenings free to chase after scoundrels like him. Still, Astarion didn’t want to antagonize her further and ruin the game, so he pursed his lips and guessed, “A very large, well-placed cannon?”
    “Tax fraud.”
    She looked at him as if she expected some sort of reaction – maybe a dramatic gasp? A palm flung to his forehead in a theatrical rendition of How could I not think of this?
    Everything he could muster was a blink. “Tax … fraud.”
    She nodded, obviously excited about what Astarion was sure were two of the most boring words in the English language, combined.
    "That's how we'll take down Cazador."

    Summary

    "Your heart cracks in your chest as you finally recognise what that look in his eyes is.

     

    Understanding. He understands.

     

    It’s a relief, terrifying and dizzying in its way. You don’t know what he understands about it, what experience of his own he sees in you, but it’s that soft empathy in his eyes that lets you sigh softly, dropping your head to your knees once more as you speak that terrible hope you’ve clung to since the day you woke on that nautiloid.

     

    “I want to be good.” "

     

    a written account of how the dark urge's blackened heart learned to feel and, later, love again, while somehow dragging along astarion's own undead heart for the ride.

    Summary

    Every time Haarlep uses your body, it's more intense. The shape of you is being learned. The sense of pleasure greater, but guiltier, too. It was a conversation you and Astarion were always going to need to have, someday: how to deal with it, how it makes you feel. You find there's a way forward that suits the both of you—something to satisfy Astarion's need to claw back autonomy for himself, too. You can make a gift out of this.

    Summary

    Astarion hadn’t looked away from her since breaking from her grasp, and he remained, carved from stone, unbreathing, undead. Her hand didn’t hold him—he could pull away, but she knew he wouldn’t. “Astarion,” she whispered. She could say his name every moment of every day, bewitched by the way it rolled off her tongue. “Let me take care of you. Isn’t it easier, not to think all the time?”

    The pain and anger had leached from his face, leaving behind only the man, beautiful, vulnerable, solemn, hungry, and so, so tired. Her hand crept up, long, elegant fingers curving around his chin, her thumb resting delicately on his lips, gentle enough to part them, and she stroked, feather-light, his lip soft beneath her. “One last time,” she whispered, as entranced by him as he was by her. “Invite me in. Have dinner with me.”

    An exploration of an older, selfish, and experienced Tav, defined by her quest for power and need for control—and Astarion, who might have bitten off more than he can chew. Has he found a powerful ally against Cazador, or merely exchanged one master for another?

    Plenty of smut, plot, tension, and a budding mystery. Now in Act 3!

    "There’s not enough power in the world to pay off the consequences to your actions.”

    “Isn’t there? Because I don’t recall Cazador facing any consequences. Quite the opposite,” he scoffs with another humored smile, tapping her nose condescendingly. “Anyway, just who’s going to stop me, I wonder.”

    “I would.”

    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

    Fear had a way of leaving scars on the mind like blows left bruises and cuts on the skin. No amount of wine could wash away his nightmare, but that did not stop Astarion from trying.

    Grappling with changes that came along with his newfound freedom, Astarion unexpectedly catches feelings for a socially awkward, yet incredibly sweet, ranger from Neverwinter. Astarion doesn’t want to put a name to those feelings. Doesn’t want an attachment that could be ripped away at a moments notice.
    But damn, does Cas makes his conviction to remain unattached, to use her as a tool, seem impossible.

    Summary

    Female Tav (second person narration) and Astarion, shifting from Tav POV to some Astarion POV. Astarion tries to navigate the whole seduction plan with a Dom/sub dynamic, wanting to feel powerful and have some real control. Tav is only too happy to go along with it, but it doesn’t stay as simple as Astarion had hoped. Fluff/smut/character study.

    Starts with the Tiefling party (written in Early Access) and builds from there.

    “By all means, though,” he continues, “if you really wish it, I’ll go back to my watch and leave you be. ...But if it’s all the same to you,” he pauses, leaning in, his lips beside your ear. You can feel his breath against you as he whispers. “I have a mind to take you on every possible surface in this room."

    Summary

    When the revelation came at the height of the next winter, when Thordan ascended the dias and showed his fangs, when the Ward surrounded him, white teeth gleaming like daggers in the dark, there was no one left to fight or protest. Too many nobles converted, the Temple Knights lead by his mortal son, the dragon-blooded now either bound in blood and magic to their rulers, or running desperate, hiding in the wild as their richer veins were eagerly sought to flood the new vampiric masters with power.

    Wherein a vampiric Aymeric claims Estinien as his personal servant and bodyguard as he clashes with the current power structure in Ishgard and attempts to cope with his new nature.

    Summary

    There is no horse that Cavalry Captain Diluc Ragnvindr of Mondstadt cannot break and no man he cannot forge into a deadly weapon on the battlefield. When called to the court of Khaenri'ah, he expects only to teach the willful Prince Kaeya how to ride and effectively rule a nation on the cusp of war. What he finds instead is a neglected young man in need of a firm hand, a king (and ex-lover) on his deathbed, and a whirlwind romance unlike anything he has ever known.

    In the wake of a diplomatic fiasco, what begins as a simple assignment turns into a desperate bid for survival against an unseen enemy and a clash of the divine. Diluc and Kaeya must learn to master the stuff of fairy tales in order to overcome a sinister plot set into motion long ago, lest Khaenri'ah--and all of Teyvat--fall in its path.

    Summary

    “Sinners and monsters,” Diluc repeats, squinting at the board. “And you include yourself in those categories?”

    Kaeya sips his drink, watches Diluc make yet another wrong move, and reaches over to knock his king down himself. Surprisingly, Diluc lets it slide, and makes purposeful eye contact with him. Kaeya can feel his own expression softening. “I carry my burdens without protest, Luc, if that’s what you’re worried about.”

    Diluc heaves a sigh, one so great that his shoulders rise and fall with it. “Of course you do.”

    Kaeya's birthday is a private affair.
