Summary
Note: This story is now on permanent hiatus.
I am rewriting and reposting it under the original name, Threadbare.
Read it hereNora Feyre was a middle-aged math teacher with a sketchy past, questions about her identity, and an unhealthy enjoyment of killing.
Astarion was a vampire spawn who thirsted for blood, freedom, and revenge on his cruel master.
When a Mindflayer ship kidnaps them and drops them into a fight for survival, neither wants to catch feelings for anyone, let alone for each other. Even long after these two idiots had already fallen in love, it takes all of Karlach's best efforts to keep them from fucking it up.
A slow burn, canon-respectful but divergent retelling of the main plot of BG3. Emphasis on divergent.

Summary
×Comments are welcome, this is a completely original work, from my own brain, no AI or tools were used.×
◇Ascended Astarion meets a shut-in introvert, two facades clash◇
“I apologize Lord Astarion, but the summoning spell did work properly, she just so happened to have lived in a different realm from this one, one without magic. I can send her back and recast the spell again if you wish.” The old wizard tried to reassure the elf.
Stormi sighed quietly in relief, unfortunately her computer didn't get the memo to shut up.
“Fuck you! And fuck everything you've ever done to me!” Astarion’s own voice rang out over her speakers before she slammed the laptop shut and clutching it to her chest, hoping, praying he didn't think too much of it.
“No, on second thought I think I'll keep this one.” The elf walked closer to the girl with her laptop, now wide eyed, pale and shaking in fear, she knew who he was and what sort of tendencies he had, could she survive him? Would he send her home after whatever he summoned her for is finished? She already knew the answer, a resounding NO.
It was a bad day to choose to fight Cazador in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Summary
This isn't an attack towards the haters, just a list of myths being debunked and the flaws of the writing. Someone had to do it... Especially since I relate to him... Added another myth being debunked on 9/6.

Summary
Stupid. Stupid. His thoughts hiss at him in protest, condemning him for his weakness. This may very well be the last opportunity he has to sate himself before they can escape this wretched place, not to mention the last chance he has to taste her. His nostrils flare, the scent of her blood only amplifying his ever-present hunger. If this is what it means to be a good person, he wants nothing of it.
Astarion's nice, simple plan falls apart. The only thing that waits in the shadows is misery and despair.

Summary
Astarion's nice, simple plan goes awry, and now he has to find a way to overcome his past and win back Tav.
***
I didn’t wish for many things in my immortal life. Well, apart from freedom and power and my master’s death. But I wish I had told Tav I loved her. Not as a joke, but truly. But I didn’t know what was true back then, and I learned that lesson far too late. I would have told her before I lost her.

Summary
You wake up and you don’t know who you are. It’s like having lost your mouth without the knowledge that you actually have one, but you want to speak.
It feels weird.
You look around for guidance, something that might tell you more about the person you are.
You are a person, aren’t you? You are in a room—her room? Your room?
You shake your head as if hoping for the movement to disturb the disturbances you feel in your mind right now. It just makes you feel dizzy.
You remember—something.
You remember your name.
Tav.
This is not your name. Or is it?What if you are no longer able to distinguish between dream and reality?
You find yourself lost in dreams with your favorite travel companion and lover, Astarion. The problem? Astarion is a character from your favorite video game. Or is he?
If you are as deeply attached to Astarion as I am and have your mental health under control (as I mostly do), feel free to keep reading and enjoy the angst, the smut, and the hopefully (though I can't guarantee) good ending. Please mind the warnings in the notes section.
Comments are welcome.
Enjoy.

Summary
After years of careful planning and preparation, Astarion and Imara finally take control of the city of Skullport. At last, their dreams of providing a safe haven for the vampires under their care is within reach, but securing an alliance with the City of Splendors proves to be much more complicated than they'd anticipated. Soon they find themselves drawn into the mire of Waterdhavian politics, where enemies and betrayal lie in wait around every corner.
In the face of political machinations, a mountain filled with horrors, and revelations big and small, they must stay true to themselves—and their love—in order to finally enjoy the life of peace and happiness they've worked so hard to build.
There are alliances to make, enemies to eliminate, monsters to kill, and battles to be won, but they have each longed to deepen their relationship in one very particular way, and though the timing has never been quite right, they're both beginning to wonder if the wrong time may actually be the perfect time...

Summary
Being turned into a vampire destroyed Astarion’s film career as well as his faith in others. Now the only gig he can get is in a tacky production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express—Waterdeep’s hottest show on roller skates!

Summary
When he wakes up, he's not himself. Not that he can remember what being 'himself' even means. All he has is a pounding headache and a name, 'The Dark Urge'.
Oh, and memories of the real world and over 500 plus hours of playtime in Baldur's Gate 3.
Now he's stuck inside the game, with no idea how he got there or what the fuck is going on. And very quickly, he'll realise that the real world of Faerun is nothing like the game. Shit hurts, there's no maps, fast travel, or save scumming. And people are far more complicated than simple video game characters.
If he can keep himself alive and make it through this, perhaps there's something waiting for him in Faerun, a life he can build for himself. But the urge is just as real as everything else, and it's out for blood.
All he wants is to find his freedom before the game kills him or the urge overtakes him.

Summary
“How do you live with what you are, Omeluum? I mean, you’re a Mind Flayer. You need sustenance to live, you kill to survive. Yet you don’t strike me as someone who kills randomly.”
“Yes, I am a Mind Flayer. I have to kill to survive. I cannot change what I am. However, I have a moral code that guides me,” Omeluum answered.
“You do?”
Astarion was eager to learn more. Only because it was fascinating, he assured himself. Nothing more.This work follows the events of Baldur's Gate 3 from Astarion's POV. It will focus on the vampire's coping mechanisms in response to his traumatic past, so be warned that some content may at times be disturbing. There will be angst, there will be fluff, and there will be romance. There will be a lot of heartbreaking drama. But since this is a story about healing, I can assure you that eventually, everything will be fine.
