"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.

Astarion One-shots
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.
As the Ash Settles
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.Complete
Gang of Weirdos
I apologize for any errors writing these characters - my Tav and her personality is the only character that belongs to me. This tale is going to start at the night you discover Astarion is a vampire (spawn). Also these heathens sleep in tents instead of out in the open by a lit fire. The story line will probably change up a bit from the game. Due to healing trauma, this story will not be continued.Complete
His Treasured Spawn (Astarion x Reader)
Our female protagonist finds herself in the world of Baldurs Gate 3 and soon at the feet of our favorite sassy vampire lord. If you are looking for evil, dominant and possessive but still charming and "you are my possession, my first special spawn" caring vampire lord Astarion and...let's say eager female protagonist, this could be for you. This was supposed to be quick fun nonsense with a hint of kink, but the kink overpowered the nonsense way too fast. So depending on what you enjoy: i'm sorry or you're welcome ;) By now it's back to a mix of kink and fun. For anyone wondering: Avian Antics is my personal favorite so far. And a quick thank you for everyone reading / leaving stars. It's nice to see some enjoy my little after work project :)Complete

Goodbye Astarion [Astarion X NB Tav]
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.Complete

The Heroes of Baldur's Gate... and Me
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.
Blood and Shadows (Dark Urge x Astarion)
Sirena has no memory of her past as she awakens on the nautiloid. She doesn't just feel the tadpole behind her eye, working its way into her brain. She also feels something deeper...darker. The worm is being overshadowed by the constant desire- no NEED to kill...kill...KILL. Her only mission is to get revenge on those who have left her with only a name and this need to destroy. Everything else, her experiences, battles, and relationships will slowly reveal her past; whether it is useful or disturbing is another problem. However, her past is known to a select few. She will go on to find out she does indeed have a reason for the twitch she feels when a knife is in her hand. A reason why her body sings along with every strike of a blade against anything that moves. She is the daughter of Bhaal himself, the lord of murder. He sired not only her sweet name but the incessant desire for murder. She was trained in the arts of delightful music aswell as blades. Why? Because Bhaal's chosen must be so despicable that they can use honeyed words to convince their prey to commit their own murder, command a room of people to drop with the most angelic of Melodies. Her power resides in words because it was his desire, but her skills were moulded into something far more deadly. How she became lost with this urge is the main question pounding against her skull, but whoever did this didn't think of one thing. Sirena may have forgotten...but she will never forgive. Will she decide to resist this urge and get her revenge? Especially when it comes to those she will grow to love? Well...let's hope the dice roll in her favour. (This is a series I've created in honour of my durge run that I just had to write about. All inspired by conversations, events or areas through the course of the game. This is meant for mature audiences, due to the amount of violence, language, character backgrounds, etc. There are sexual scenes but don't expect many as I'm VERY new to writing. Thank you and enjoy!)
