Summary
Rinoah really had enough going on already (with a suitably tragic backstory and a dark past on her tail), when she was abducted by the mind-flayer ship and thrown into a world-ending plot with a band of weirdos. The bitey elf was certainly not going to help matters.
This series focuses on the scenes in between the canon events of the game (and the relationship between Rin and Astarion) while also weaving in an extra story - because our heroes' to-do list wasn't quite long enough already.

Summary
He’s almost looking forward to either falling from the top of the Netherbrain into the River Chionthar, or watching it fall from a safe distance. It’ll be over, then! It’ll be done. He can go hide in the dark, forget this ever happened twice. Astarion can forget Tav. He can move on. Learn to love the dark again, or something.
Astarion wakes up in a pod on the Nautiloid.
(COMPLETE! <3)

Summary
Astarion ascends, Tav takes control of the brain and enslaves them all, and Gale sacrifices himself to save everyone from being under Tav's control. But things can't end like that, can they?
Gale blinks and finds himself back at square one with an overwhelming amount of knowledge, a hungry Netherese blight in his chest, and friends who no longer remember him.
Or... Gale is like basically a fortune-teller.I suppose this is a slow burn. I sort of modeled it off of the game's pacing, so that's why.
Guess who has a sequel!!

Summary
The Dark Urge was innocent once, until the Urge sank its claws into his soul. He wasn’t even a teenager when he murdered his foster family. That child was easy to fool, trick and influence, control with the promises of affection from an evil father. Elias forgot everything when he fell from his former life, his brain scrambled, soul broken, memories taken, years and years of manipulation hacked away.
But his subconscious remembered. Affection hurts. Love makes you weak. Trust is a currency. Smiles and kindness are tools to be used, masks you use to manipulate and hide.
He never planned for anyone to look beneath his carefully crafted mask. He never expected anyone to sympathise with the cornered monster they discovered. He never dreamed for anyone to fall in love with it.This is my writings about these two trauma trainwrecks, they're at their happiest when they're elbow deep in gore and they bond over it.
COMPLETED!

Summary
"Come with me to Avernus," Wyll says, easy, like he’s asking Astarion around for tea. Right. The Blade of Frontiers is the Blade of Avernus now. Sworn to cleanse the Hells of the devils that threaten the Sword Coast or some such rot. What an absurd idea. For a moment, Astarion imagines several ways to kill him painfully. Go there. To the place of her worst nightmares. The place she refused to return to despite his pleading. After everything that's happened, to step foot in that place, without her. It felt like a mockery of his pain to even suggest it.
The sun rises after the fall of the Absolute and Astarion burns first. Overcome with grief from the death of the first person he truly cared for, and haunted by her memory, Astarion accompanies the Blade of Avernus to Hell.

Summary
The hand removed itself from his forehead. “Temperature is normal,” Gale announced, before using its fingers to gather some stray drool that had trailed down Astarion’s jaw. Before Astarion could register the pitiful jolt of arousal at the sudden skin contact or the sheer absurdity of what Gale was doing, Gale had stuck its fingers in its mouth.
“What the —”
“No new bacteria detected,” Gale went on, “Ruling out food poisoning.”
“Oh, Gods,” Astarion groaned. “And to think that these things are what’s sending our workforce into a tizzy. What next, 'droid? Are you about to give me a rectal examination too?”
“There is no need for one at the moment,” Gale said, confused. “Unless you are seeking prostate stimulation—”
“No!”
Amidst the softly thrumming melancholy of a dystopian, cyber-punk city, former corporate-rat Astarion Ancunín, who has long since lost the will to live, finds himself in possession of a G-413 or "Gale" - an amnesiac android who, strangely enough, enjoys living.
