    Summary

    She told Solas as much while she quickly undressed and put on the new clothes, and when she looked up after fixing some wrinkles here and there, he was smiling at her, listening very intently.

    Yes, just like during their time in the Inquisition. Nothing had changed – their love had survived, and they were together at last.

    Solas and Scarlet Lavellan's life in the Fade after the events of Veilguard.

    Summary

    Stories like theirs did not beget earnest endings. The love was there, but oceans could not wax and wane on love alone. The tides of fate decreed that intent and consequence would be pulled apart, and the world would be left drowning in the waves that crashed between.

    She was never so grateful to be wrong.

    (Solas and Lavellan, in the times after.)

    Summary

    “It needs curtains,” Ellana says firmly.

    “Curtains?”

    From his unsteady tone, it isn’t what he expected her to say.

    Ellana nods with purpose. She has had a lot of practice with keeping up a calm, brave face until conditions improve.

    “Curtains. Do you remember when we first got to Skyhold? What a mess it was? There were woodchucks under the foundation, three hundred years of raven droppings in the rotunda, and a spirit of compassion down in the field hospital trying to euthanize our soldiers. But Josephine looked around and said we needed to hang curtains, and by the end of the day, we were measuring for the drapers.”

    "This was staggeringly simple. When one eased into it, when it was accepted, it was the easiest thing in the world. Easy and wonderful.

    Yet complicated and enormous. All at the same time. "

    Summary

    At Redcliffe instead of Dorian and the Inquisitor being thrown forward in time, it's just the Inquisitor... And instead of going forward in time, she goes back. A LONG way back.

    Back to the time of the ancient elves, before Arlathan fell and the gods were locked away. Possibly before the elves even really knew of humans as anything more than primitive creatures on far-off shores. But in this strange, beautiful and cruel world of her ancestors she sees one familiar face, except his name is Fen'Harel.

    A very long story, surrounding a time travelling Lavellan who falls in love with Fen'harel, how this impacts future thedas, only time will tell.

    Summary

    Astarion's lips part. Tav feels the press of his teeth—but no sting. Astarion groans, turning his face away. Tav’s heart twists.

    "Come on," Tav urges him. His other hand closes around the handle of a knife. If Astarion won't bite him, Tav can open a vein himself.

    "No."

    "Godsdammit, Astarion, I have enough. You won't kill me."

    All he has to do is spill his blood over Astarion's tongue, and instinct will do the rest. Tav sets the knife to his wrist.

    In the wake of his worst mistake yet, Tav seeks to make amends. But the cult of the Absolute (and Astarion) have other plans. Early Act 2. Astarion x m!Tav.

    Summary

    “How old are you, Astarion?”

    Astarion is not expecting the question, Halsin can tell by the way he jerks upright, spine straight, shoulders strong.

    “Two-hundred-and-forty,” he answers without hesitation. “Give or take a few years.”

    Halsin swallows, rewords his question. “How old were you when you were turned?”

    Astarion goes quiet. Extremely, cacophonously quiet.

    “Thirty-nine,” he finally says, a bolt straight into Halsin’s heart.

    -

    Halsin discovers Astarion was turned before his maturity and all the sacred elven rites that come along with it. Including the sex one.

    Summary

    “I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”

    “I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”

    “The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”

    “Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

    --

    The Vampire Ascendent has crossed a line. Eleven years after making the biggest mistake of her life and losing the man she loved, tiefling wizard (now Archmage) Rosalie decides it’s time to put this Astarion in the ground for good. Hopefully, both her head and her heart are strong enough to see this awful task through to its end.

    Summary

    “Sleep.”

    But Tav’s not falling asleep. He’s thinking now. Thinking about the way Astarion appeared in his dream—those lantern eyes, the sharp angles of him. It can’t be how Astarion would choose to appear.

    Tav’s throat clenches. No, Astarion didn’t choose anything. He appeared in Tav’s dream exactly as he is, beneath the porcelain skin and the perfect hair and the tempting smirk. Exactly the way he must feel. Constantly.

    Tav’s brush with death left him marked, in more ways than one. Astarion tries to work out what’s different about him. Act 1 transitioning into Act 2. Astarion x m!Tav.

    Summary

    A pressed flower falls from between the pages and flutters to the ground. Astarion watches it fall before putting the book away and picks up the flower to bring it up to his nose. It still has a smell. Astarion brushes it over his lips. Did you want him to find this? Did you think of him when you picked it? He hopes you did.

    Or: Astarion is a possessive klepto who idealizes you. He can’t help himself from pilfering your things and adding them to his growing collection while he imposes all his hopes and dreams on you.

    Astarion doesn’t need a reflection to know himself – two hundred years of servitude has shown him exactly what he’s good for. Odd that his new partner seems to disagree.

    Or, five times Astarion regretted being seen over the past centuries, and one time he didn’t.

    Summary

    Like instinct, Astarion finds the vein in Filraen’s wrist that connects his fingers all the way to his heart. The moment his fangs sink into the Drow’s skin, blood pools into his mouth, and Astarion feels like a man drinking water for the first time in weeks.

    He sucks and pulls, lapping at every drop with his tongue to make sure none goes to waste. Filraen’s blood tastes syrupy sweet tonight from the mead, thick and warm as it works its way down his throat. It’s addicting in more ways than one—the taste is divine, but something more primal pools in the lower parts of Astarion’s stomach. The kind that makes him want to bare his fangs at anyone who dares get too close to his Drow, that might try and take this away from him.

    There’s a careful hand touching the base of his skull, pulling Astarion from his degenerating thoughts at the perfect moment. The long fingers slip up the back of his scalp and thread into his wavy hair like a soft caress. It’s comforting, has Astarion sighing wistfully into Filraen’s wrist.

    Or, come read about a sad bard and a sadder vampire falling in love.
