Summary
Set after the events of the main game but just before Withers's party.
_____
There was a moment where Bex had thought she'd finally found something she could rely on - a family, a home. And then Astarion ascended and all the rest of her friends left her behind. Alone in the city she saved from destruction, she finds herself slipping further and further into the fog that has long threatened to overwhelm her.
Bex is sure she's going to die like this. Worse, it doesn't even seem like anyone will even miss her. It's a relief when Raphael comes back from the dead, hells-bent on retaliating against her for breaking into his house and killing him. But then, to her disappointment, he doesn't kill her. Instead, he offers her a deal.
Her body in exchange for the vampire's soul._____
Spoilers for The Dark Urge playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3.

Summary
Some part of him could picture it then, could imagine telling her everything - speaking til dawn on his whole history. Spending the next day in this same spot, diving into what he knew of hers. Asking how it felt to gore that bard. Instead, he mirrored her smile - his own wicked grin for seducing and scheming.
“I’ve wanted to taste you since I first felt that pretty neck under my blade.”
And as her head fell back in a laugh, the white expanse of her neck on full display at his easy, overused line, he watched the golden girl fall into the palm of his hand.
---
COMPLETED.Astarion had known the woman's face immediately - Halia Dhune, the golden daughter of Baldur's Gate. The princess of the upper city. How many times had Cazador sent him after her - wanting to claim the socialite as a trophy to add to his awful collection? At least now he wouldn't have to go back to his master empty handed, should the tadpole situation not work out in his favor.
(or: what if the Dark Urge was a noble woman, perfect and popular, and her father's favorite fox in the henhouse. and of course, what if our dear vampire knew of her before the crash?)

Summary
“Power,” Irileth says softly, and she is surprised by the silkenness of her own voice. It sounds like it comes from another person, another life. “Is that all you like about me?”
Astarion’s laugh is a sultry and wicked thing. “Darling,” he croons, and with his free hand, he reaches out to twirl a lock of her white hair around his slender finger. “There are a great many things I like about you.”
Ah. She wonders just how much he would like it if she told him what a pretty corpse he would make.

Astarion helps her hide the body. Romance ensues.
