A twist on the original Baldur's Gate story, it begins with Astarion before the mindflayers and tadpoles and then continues on as he's kidnapped and begins his journey for freedom. But he has more to contend with than in the original, instead of Tav he meets a woman named Vesper who promises to help him kill Cazador and then purposely gets kidnapped by the mindflayers to follow him. As they try to cure themselves of the tadpoles, he tells himself he won't love her but will use her to his own end only for her mystery to continue enticing him. He learns there's more to her story then he ever thought possible and has to decide between power, his thirst for freedom, and a new feeling he hasn't explored before.All Rights Reserved

The Pale Elf by chaoticdruid

Image is concept art I did for chapter 8. Slow burn romance. Sensitive topics mentioned inside. Reader discretion is advised. If this story had a theme song, it would be more than one. Give by Sleep Token, Sweet Tangerine by The Hush Sound, and TIMEZONE by Måneskin. Tav is a sharp-witted bard with a tongue as quick as her blade. Astarion is a dangerous vampire spawn rogue, bound by shadows and scars of the past. When their paths intertwine, sparks fly. Will something beautiful bloom between them, or will it be plucked before it ever has the chance to grow? - "You are more than what he wanted you to be," I murmur quietly. Astarion's gaze cuts to mine, sharp at first and then softening around the edges. "I'm a monster," he whispers with a shake of his head. "I've lured countless people to their deaths. Innocents." "That's not who you are anymore," I insist. I give his shoulder a gentle squeeze. "You can take back the narrative. Only you get to say who you are."

the currents of destiny by Lendeah

"I would say good luck out there, but honestly? I hope you die screaming." Astarion's life takes a dark turn following his encounter with Cazador, as his lover Tav refuses to help him ascend. Left to face the aftermath of his choices, Astarion seeks understanding in his new reality. In his search for answers, he meets a seer named G'axir, who offers him glimpses into three different paths his life could take: his future as an Ascended Vampire, his future alone, and a future next to Tav. Now, Astarion must decide which path to follow before it's too late.

Torment's Thrall by therepplicas

Trapped. For two centuries, Astarion has been trapped. In a circumstance. Under the thumb of a master. Trapped between what he wants and what he has been commanded. 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.

As the Ash Settles by mscoraziph

As the Ash Settles, is my take on what happens to the group of companions after saving Baldur's Gate. As the ash settles and the drinks are pouring a familiar sensation washes over our Tav, the very same one that compelled her to attack poor Alfira in her slumber, perhaps defeating her sister was not just denying her father but in fact taking back her rightful spot as leader of the Bhaalspawn, perhaps Withers was indeed wrong. Questions left unanswered while still having to find a special artifact for Astarion to walk and in the sun and still beating heart to fear Karlach. Rated M for Mature. Will include adult behaviors, some violence and well just stuff from the game itself. Don't worry though not a finger will be laid on the goodest boy Scratch. "*" will mark homebrewed items with their links.

In My Blood by KennaofMarvel

After being abducted from the woodlands she thrived in, Delphnye, a lone wolf with a peculiar ability to telepathically communicate with reptilian creatures, tries to find a cure for the squirming tadpole in her brain, while also falling for a dangerous man.

Astarion One-shots by Niamh_Mercuur

Time slips through my fingers. And I wonder. How much of me has been lost? How much of me has been found? But I am no optimist. So I wait. Dreading the day when I no longer recognise myself. Or worse, When others no longer recognise me. Will my life stop suddenly? Like a pendulum interrupted mid swing? Or slowly, like an old clock winding down. Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick. Tock. Astarion x my high elf rogue Tav, Nyx Astarion x my wood elf paladin Tav, Sera Maybe some others, we'll see. Astarion and any other bg3 npc's belong to Larian Studios, thus I do not own them.

The Weaver of Distant Stars by Nydelia

She fell asleep, and woke beneath distant stars. In a world half-remembered, half-imagined, she wove light into broken fates, and carried strangers in her soul. She fought not for glory, but for a love that was never meant to be hers. Some stories are never finished. Some dreams are never truly left behind. And some- some are written forever across the stars. ⸻ "She crossed the threads of the world-and left a story behind." ____________________________ 🌌 Author's Note At first glance, this might look like a self-insert isekai. A girl wakes up in a fantasy world she knows too well, surrounded by the characters she once controlled. Magic hums through her veins. Danger crackles on the horizon. A certain silver-haired vampire watches her a little too closely. But this story is more than escapism. It's more than romance. It's more than a dream come true. It's about what happens after the dream. About the creeping weight of memory, and what it means to forget who you used to be. About the quiet ache of loving people who were never meant to be real. And the question that echoes long after the last page: If you lost the way home... would you still want to go back? This fanfiction is my love letter to Baldur's Gate 3, to found family, to falling in love with stories-and to those of us who've ever wished we could fall into the world that saved us. So, if you've found your way here... welcome. Take my hand. There are stars waiting for us. -Koda ✨ ____________________________________________ Disclaimer: I do not own Baldur's Gate 3 or any associated characters. All rights belong to Larian Studios. This is a transformative, non-commercial fanfiction created with love and respect for the game and its world.

Astarion, wicked love and heartbreaking ends. by kaitlintimmy2001

From a female Tavs perspective- following off of the main story of BG3, adding my own twists to character stories though. Main focus is the building tension/ relationship with 'you' and Astarion. The conflict of it, the rawness and the excitement.

There's No Sleep for the Wicked by RisingEmberStories

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!

It's All a Game (Astarion & Elara) by lokiedokiee

When Elara is kidnapped by a nautiloid ship and has a mind flayer parasite inserted into her brain, the only things on her agenda are getting home, and getting rid of the parasite. That is, until she comes across a handsome elf who is in the same predicament as her, and also happens to be a vampire. This story follows these two elves, both scarred from their pasts, both determined not to fall in love or anything so frivolous, along with a well-spoken wizard and a tiefling pulled straight from the Hells, as they journey to Baldur's Gate and try not to die in the process.
