  1. Summary

    Story is set post Baldur's Gate 3 game.
    A very fluffy romance and action story around Astarion and Tav character. World building is set in the D&D universe.
    Explicit/graphic depictions of sex. It is here and there, and fits with the overall romance. For Mature Readers Only.
    It is my depiction of Astarion's character. I hope I have kept him true to his character, although on saying that he will go through some character growth in this.

    Road of Memories will be also be added. But would like to write a few more chapters first.

    Summary

    “I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.” – Frida Kahlo

    Astarion has been a criminal his entire life. Sick of committing only petty crimes for his boss, Cazador Szarr, he desires to become one of the big players. A name on a list is the ticket he has been waiting for, and he has one month to make sure his target bites the dust. An easy enough job because Astarion has an excellent killer instinct.

    The Thorms are one of the wealthiest families in Baldur’s Gate. Since the miraculous recovery of their daughter, Isobel, a couple of years back, the Thorms have become loyal Shar worshippers, convinced that the goddess put her protective wings over the woman. Now someone put a death warrant on the older sister, Sylva.

    But things rarely are as they seem, and what appears like an easy kill for the professional assassin turns out to be a greater challenge. More so when the line between hunter and prey increasingly blurs up to the point when both are left with one final choice.

    Summary

    Dearest Readers,

    This author hopes you have prepared yourselves for a dashing tale of forbidden love, double lives, and salacious scandals in a Bridgerton/Regency AU setting.

    Following the sudden death of Lord Cazador Szarr, Lord Astarion Ancunín is the new Marquess of Mirabar. He returns at last to Baldur's Gate with siblings Dalyria and Petras after a mysterious 20-year absence, eager to establish himself as the new Marquess and find a husband for Dalyria.

    But what of a love match for the Marquess himself? Somewhere between his efforts to evade the ambitious Mamas shoving doll-like daughters before him and his struggles to escape the shadow of his father's tyrannical legacy, Lord Ancunín finds himself falling for the so-called "Lucky Bastard of Daggerford," one Sasha Amastacia. Witnesses say their connection was instant, their chemistry undeniable, and their love forbidden.

    Bound by society's expecations to marry the opposite sex to further his bloodline, a public relationship with another male would ignite a scandal most foul. But after decades of isolation and abuse, Astarion is willing to fight for his happily ever after. The only question, dear readers, is what will it cost them?

    Summary

    What if every companion started the game with a journal of their own? Here's what they would say in their own words.

    --

    These entries are part of a mod I'm working on that places a journal in each companion's inventory upon recruitment and updates after key moments/decisions in each person's story.

    Summary

    Part 1 of Fear, Fate, and Fangs in which Astarion and Tav's love story begins.

    This work follows the events of Baldur's Gate 3 from Astarion's POV. It is an attempt to portray Astarion as a psychological being. I'm not analyzing him or losing myself in theories (though I am relying on psychological constructs, and my beta is a psychologist), this is rather a genuine attempt to understand him emotionally. This is why I try not to sugarcoat his actions, or idolize the 'she can fix him' trope (it might happen, though, because I, too, have my blind spots, so don't be mad at me, please).

    Over the course of chapters, the language will change a bit. When Astarion opens up, so does his perspective. It's very centered and narrow at the beginning but will expand over time.

    However, since this is as much a love story, there will be a lot of intimacy (sexual as well as non-sexual).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.
