After the final battle against the mind flayer threat Arista made her way back to the Underdark with Astarion. Their new mission: find the freed 7000 vampire spawn and teach them how to survive without causing a bloodbath.
But Arista has a second mission, a secret mission. Finding a cure for Astarion's vampirism to give him a chance to walk in the sun again without the bloodlust but also without immortality.
It's supposed to be a surprise but all leads she has found so far turn out to be a dead end.
Her last option: Asking a gift of the Goddess she has worshipped ever since her family fled Menzoberranzan.
But what she is asking proves to be too much for a lesser deity such as Eilistraee. The Goddess however does know a way...
With the stakes raised Arista can no longer keep her secret from her lover.
Will he embrace mortality for them, for himself knowing what it might cost the Paladin at his side? Or will he watch his true love age and die at his side, sparing her from the pain the path in front of them promises?

"HER?!?! She was away from the blast radius! I WAS RIGHT THERE!" Astarion whined, coughing and brushing away weave. "You're lucky I had bone man bring you back. That was artifact money."

There's No Sleep for the Wicked
Cursed with vampirism and desperate for freedom, Astarion journeys through a world teetering on the edge of ruin. Amidst shifting alliances, ancient evils, and temptations of power, he must decide if he'll reclaim his autonomy with grace-or carve it out through blood. Baldur's Gate 3, nor any of the characters belong to me. They belong to Larian Studios and the cast of Baldur's Gate 3. I decided to write my narrative of my origin Astarion run, while being completely in-character for him, and making decisions that are all his own. Please enjoy!

~ TVD Fanfic ~ Lyra Whitlock was tired, her soul had been moved once again, this time Twenty-ish centuries back into the future for another lifetime. This was her last lesson apparently, although this lesson could prove to be the hardest. Lyra had thought this lifetime was any old normal life instead of the fantasy worlds she'd been to already but destiny had a sick sense of humour and she found herself surrounded by the Scooby gang. She'd dealt with many things but Vampires, Doppelgangers and Hybrids? That was a new one. But Lyra would enjoy this one, having what seemed to be one last time at a chance to be a normal teenager. That was until she discovered she had a choice to make, one that if she'd known before her lesson was learnt would have been an easy choice. Now? Not so much. Does she finally rest?

But even when he finds himself infected with a mindflayer tadpole and dropped in a grove over a hundred miles from his captor, free from the debilitating effects of his curse, he still feels trapped. After running across a strange druid outside of Emerald Grove, he wonders if, maybe- just maybe- he can find a path to real freedom. Jalva left behind her roots as a druid long ago. An ex-soldier, a wanderer of Faerun, she returns to Baldur's Gate to find her way back into an upper-class social circle, hoping to find something to fill her monotonous days. But when she is abruptly captured and implanted with an Illithid tadpole, she finds all the excitement she wants and more, including in the form of a familiar face.
