Summary
Astarion Ancunin used to be a name that opened doors, launched careers, and wrote shows that ran for years. But after a public meltdown and catastrophic failure with his former writing partner, his career took a swan dive into the orchestra pit.
It’s been thirteen years, and he’s been growing more bitter and cunty ever since. A bizarre and random encounter causes him to reevaluate his career. Is he truly ready to be done with it all? Forever is a long time to spend avoiding your mistakes.
A new show be just the ticket to put the polish back on his star. The problem is that no one who is anyone will work with him. In order to stage his show he has to reach out to people he's slighted in his career and people who cheered when his star burned out.
He has one shot at pulling himself out of the ashes - but he's going to need a writing partner from his past.

Summary
Two centuries ago in Baldur’s Gate, Astarion Ancunín is living high on thievery and charm until a botched escape lands him in the middle of a courtroom, and mistaken for a defence attorney. Forced to improvise, he draws on an education he never wanted to defend a young thief accused of a crime she did not commit.
Astarion soon discovers that her case is not the only miscarriage of justice happening in the high halls of the 'Gate. The more he learns about the forces that power the city, the more tangled he becomes in a dangerous conspiracy of ambition, violence, and magic—the evidence of which was meant to remain dead and buried.

When Astarion catches Karlach admiring a bit of pretty lingerie, she is quick (and adamant) to deny it, but Astarion wants to show Karlach that muscles and lace goes perfectly together, and she doesn't have to be buff or cute, as well as showing her some of how he sees her.
This is a webcomic style story made of virtual photography (and not actually 0 words 😜)

Summary
She’d heard stories before, about accepting food from strangers who turned out to be hags or other nefarious fey creatures. But Marleth was fairly certain that hags only took the form of women. And, despite the something that bothered her, this man seemed harmless enough.
Her stomach grumbled loudly, deciding for her. The stranger shot her a knowing grin.
“Come, sit.” He gestured at a spot across from him, near the small cookfire. “Share a meal with me.”
--
Decades after Gale becomes the god of cooking, a halfling bard encounters a mysterious fellow traveler on the road just north of Waterdeep. -

Summary
Astarion has killed Cazador Szarr. It should have been the happiest day of his life, but when he decides to complete the ritual and ascend, not one of his new-found friends will help him. Even Divarra, the one person to whom he has bared his soul, refuses him. Embittered, he turns away from them and tries to make a life for himself in the shadows.However, life for a solitary spawn is not easy, and Astarion finds himself unable to let go.
No longer certain she made the right decision, Divarra is racked with guilt. She still wants to help Astarion fulfill his dream of walking in the sun.
Can they find a way to forgive each other? And will Astarion find his way back into the light?‘I can do this,’ he says, ‘but I need your help. Your eyes, so to speak. Use the parasite, show me the scars on my back so I can carve them into his flesh, so I can do to him what he did to me.’
Szarr whimpers and Astarion looks down at him with contempt. It is hard to reconcile the pitiful creature grovelling before him, with the cruel master who tormented him for almost two hundred years.
‘No,’ Divarra says. ‘I’m not doing this.’Series
