"Tav and the light that she has brought into his dark and tortured existence. Tav, who looked at him like he was more than just something broken, something used. She is the sunlight he has craved for centuries."

TW: Implied Non Con, Dub Con, Abuse, Torture

What would have happened if Astarion had never been abducted, never been aboard the Nautiloid? How would things be different if he met Tav after she saved the city?

Still bound to his master's will, Astarion prowls the shadows of a fractured Baldur's Gate, surviving through manipulation and servitude. But when his plan to lure a tiefling hero into a trap goes awry, Tav-known as the "Brain Breaker"-spares him.

Now tethered by fragile trust and necessity, Astarion must navigate Tav's strange band of allies and confront the humanity he's long buried. But with Cazador's wrath looming and his past clawing at his heels, freedom may demand more than he can give. Astarion must choose what kind of monster he wants to be-and whether redemption is more than a dream.

The Druid Princess by lotuslemonade
12 parts Ongoing Mature
"Darling, if you insist on playing hero. Don't count me in." - Astarion Esme, another poor unfortunate soul that was abducted by the Mind Flayers. Before being abducted, Estel was on the search to finding her parents. That had long ago abandoned her at a random strangers doorstep. But now, her journey wouldn't continue. As she has a new quest and many more to complete, in order to find a healer to get the disgusting worm creature out of not only her head, but also her allies that later become friends. However, more things occur. Perhaps, romantic feelings start to grow between a certain Vampire. So how exactly is Esme going to handle this full plate of a mess?

My Darkness and My Light (Little Star) by Astarions_Caprisun
10 parts Complete Mature
OC meets Astarion just before the events of BG3. Story takes place set vaguely in and around the timelines of BG3 with the BG3 party but not in any of the major plot lines of the game. Content Warnings for implied non-con, trauma, and angst. A good enemies to lovers slow burn turned reverse harem smut.
Enrolled in Epicness - A Baldur's Gate 3 Fanfic by EricFieldstone

For Astarion, it's an almost-normal morning at the camp. But his search for a fresh vial of blood will soon turn into an epic adventure with both friends and foes from Baldur's Gate 3.

Bloodstained | Astarion/Tav by TheTurtleSaidHello
12 parts Ongoing Mature
Wisteria (Tav) leaves Astarion after they defeat the elder brain, as much as it hurt both of them. But when she left, she completely disappeared. Nobody has seen her - not shadowheart, not gale. Surely she didn't vanish? Two years later, Astarion runs into her- but she's different. She's now a vampire spawn under a cruel master. Spawn Astarion A lot of pining, slow-burn romance, and tons of angsty hurt comfort. I post on AO3 first. Find me: TheTurtleSaidHello. This book is finished. I am editing and posting chapters frequently.
The Heroes of Baldur's Gate... and Me by pixie-girl696
60 parts Ongoing Mature
I watch Tav as she strides through camp, her fiery red hair flowing around her shoulders, sunlight glistening off her golden breastplate. She is strong, determined, and brave. The whole camp love her, the men tripping over themselves to be close to her, ready to follow her into battle at a moments notice. She is beautiful, the epitome of grace.... What a bitch I shake my head, ashamed at my petty thoughts. Jealousy has always been a weakness of mine. But I cannot help but compare myself to Tav, everything I am not. Surely there was a mistake? Why would the Dream Visitor help me? A 36 year old mother, her adventuring days behind her? I'm just a regular person, a nobody? What benefit could I possibly bring to this group of incredible heroes? There has definitely been a big mistake.
Goodbye Astarion [Astarion X NB Tav] by ItsFinnleyMan
7 parts Complete Mature
Astarion ascended just like he wanted. Tav helped just like he asked. People change just like they were warned. Fair warning: Ascended Astarion is the villain, Tav frequently disassociates and justifies Astarion's behavior to themselves and the other companions. Domestic violence is implied but not depicted out-right. Verbal abuse is kept to a minimum. Two major characters will die eventually. An alternative epilogue at Withers' party. Still in progress but I feel inspired and it's a short one. I will probably update frequently I haven't written fanfiction in 11 years. Go easy on me lol Finally, this work has been cross-posted here and on AO3. These are the only places I have published it, if you're reading this somewhere else it's been stolen.
the currents of destiny by Lendeah
5 parts Complete
"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.
Baldur's Gate 3 Drabbles by Nathalie_95
17 parts Ongoing Mature
A collection of drabbles/short stories/imagines, however you want to call them, of Baldur's Gate 3. Most of them are going to be focused on Astarion and Gale. However, I do love all of the companions, so don't put it past me to throw them in as well. Instead of readerxcharacter, it will be Tavxcharacter, with the Tav sometimes changing classes or appearance due to origins. Because Tav can be everyone, there's usually he/him, she/her, and they/them versions of every story. Only acceptions are when Tav is only mentionted by name. There's also going to be a full story up somewhere this year (2025). I'm aiming to put up the first chapter somewhere in the last quarter of the year. (Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to the characters of the Baldur's Gate universe, Wizards of the Coast do. This is a fan written story.)
Sunrise (Astarion X OC) by Lunarowlz
34 parts Complete
"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." "Artifact money? I was dead!" Astarion argued. "Correction, technically, you're already dead, like all of us will be if we don't feed the damn wizard infused artifacts!" I argued. "Why are you talking about me like I'm a pet needing fed? I'm standing two feet away from you." Gale deadpanned. *disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! The only things I own are my characters and personal artwork I add to the story headers. Everything else is all owned by Larian.*
