Summary
She was forever second to everyone. Lost in the shadow of her brother, forgotten more times than not. Ryder felt more like a pretty doll placed on a shelf, only to be used when the time was right. It’s why she’s not exactly surprised that when she falls head over heels for Jaal, he’s looking back at Peebee. That is what was happening. But now she’s not sure what to do when the angara male suddenly seems to set his focus on her shelf. She was just a doll, with a pretty painted smile and hollow inside. Like everyone else he would admire her for her use and put her back when he’s done. Right?

Summary
~*~
The pages of this book—memory?—describe regret in a myriad of forms.
But none so poignant as that of...
"What if there had been a better choice?"
~*~The message slipped between grasping fingers. Her thoughts were thick and heavy, hard to focus. She needed crispness and clarity. Reaching up, Thenera clutched the jagged fangs of the wolf’s jaw necklace that hung between her breasts.
Sharp. Like a knife’s edge. Or a pair of pointed ears.
Solas’s eyes followed the movement, then his lips parted and all the color seemed to drain from his face. “How did you…?”
A prick of pain and she had them! The words from a Future-That-Never-Was. Leaning forward, Thenera released the amulet, took his face in her hands, and pressed her forehead to his.
The words rang, clear and true, from numbed lips:
“Felassan was right.”

Summary
Ixchel Lavellan's battle to find hope for herself, and hope for Thedas, never ends. But she has learned to trust the companions who walk at her side.
-:-:-:-
“Despite the secrets,” she said. “Despite the blood… Despite the doubt… Despite the weight of everything…”
“It does not have to be ‘despite,’” Solas replied. “You walk your paths with open eyes, and you have shown love and care for the world not ‘despite’ the darkness you see in it, but including it. Would you be so surprised to inspire the same in others?”
Ixchel felt her eyes burn despite the widening smile on her face.
“Though the path forward is unknown—to you, and to me… I find myself with more hope for the future than I have felt in a long, long time, Ixchel. So yes,” he whispered against her lips. “I am happy.”

Summary
Astarion has ascended, and she has stayed with him. Life in the Crimson Palace isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Is there a chance for their relationship to go back to how it was? Or is it too late for the Ascendant and his consort?
This series is about Ban, my Tav, and the Vampire Ascendant. Will be angst and smut, with sprinkles of fluff.
This fic is a softer take on Ascendant!Astarion and of the changes he undergoes after the rite. Can Ban handle the change, and if a chance came, would she choose to run? And can the Ascendant win her back in time? Inspired by the concept of vampire wives and that IGN interview with Larian that discussed the ascension.

Summary
Astarion knows that there’s a steep price to this kind of magic. He knows it the moment that Yanis and him get tangled in it—looking for a cure to heal his vampirism.
It’s not easy. Nothing in life is.
But after two centuries of living as a monster, he’d do just about anything to change it. He’d do anything to be able to see to sun again, to hold Yanis’s hand in the daylight, to do something as fucking domestic as go to the food stalls with him and the fairs he doesn’t even like. To feel warm rays on pale flesh that thrummed with life, to have a heartbeat behind the empty cavity of his chest, a pulse for lips to press against.
(Or, Astarion finds a way to cure his vampirism. It doesn’t go the way he plans.)

Summary
She wraps her arms around him and lets him complete his checks, and when he pulls back to look into her face, she’s giving him the smile she reserves only for when she’s about to say something completely saccharine and embarrassing.
“Whatever you’re thinking darling, don’t say it.”
“You are so unbearably sweet sometimes.”
If Astarion could blush, he would. Since he can’t, he puts on his most pompous and condescending look and stares down his nose at her in clear disdain.
“You, my love, are brain-damaged.”

Misunderstandings arise, and pains are brought to the forefront before it's time causing arguments and frustration for all.
Just letting you know, there's no schedule behind this, nor is there really a plot. I'm choosing Chaos here for writing inspiration. Hope you enjoy the pain I'm putting our lovely Star through.

"The price of business: regrettable but necessary sacrifices." He paused for a moment to drag the tips of his gauntleted fingers over the skin of her shoulder, admiring the thin red lines the points raised.
"But you know all about those." He said, leaning in, drawing his nose up the side of her neck. "It's what I admire most about you, you know. That elegant pragmatism."

Summary
“Fine,” she said. “Do you know the statistically most common way for the authorities to take out organized crime?”
Well, if that was her idea of enticing conversation, it was no wonder she had all those evenings free to chase after scoundrels like him. Still, Astarion didn’t want to antagonize her further and ruin the game, so he pursed his lips and guessed, “A very large, well-placed cannon?”
“Tax fraud.”
She looked at him as if she expected some sort of reaction – maybe a dramatic gasp? A palm flung to his forehead in a theatrical rendition of How could I not think of this?
Everything he could muster was a blink. “Tax … fraud.”
She nodded, obviously excited about what Astarion was sure were two of the most boring words in the English language, combined.

Summary
When they faced Cazador, they faced him together. Astarion knew what he wanted; freedom, on his own terms. Revenge for two hundred years of torment. Yet in those final moments, he'd faltered. With Cazador's blade in hand and fear in Astarion's heart, he'd changed his mind. He would go through with the ritual, and looked to his love for support.
She turned him down. And he left her.
By the time Astarion's temper cooled and he returned, it was too late. And the consequences of his lapse in judgement would haunt him for the rest of his immortal life.

Summary
Astarion is painfully familiar with what it means to want.
Has spent centuries doing nothing but wishing, hoping, desiring, wanting.
Yet it’s been so terribly long since he’s been allowed to have something. Can’t remember what it was like to feel something truly belongs to him. It all seems so far and distant. Like it could have been a dream. An entirely different life all together. A cruel and empty promise.
But Astarion had her.

Summary
"Hold this, please. I need to cut it."
The soft edge of the bandage tickles Kaveh's fingers, and he clutches at it desperately, as if it was his last opportunity to be useful. The sound of scissors cutting through the fabric rings loudly in the silence.
"Hold this one too."
And Kaveh holds. He knows Alhaitham's trying to make him feel helpful, but he feels so miserable it almost physically crashes his bones, makes his limbs weak and numb. He feels powerless.

With his own identity concealed from unsuspecting citizens, what happens when you, a devoted captain within the Knights of Favonius, spots him on his midnight purge?

This is a continuation of my previous Genshin Impact, “Fragments”.
Living in Mondstadt has been peaceful— perhaps too peaceful. You lived happily, with your job in the Adventurer’s Guild, spending time with your friends, family and (of course) your boyfriend, Diluc. You never would have expected that your past would come back to haunt you... until one unexpected day, where unease was stirred within you from a seer’s premonition.
What can you do, to end this for once and for all? And how can you ensure safety for not only yourself, but the few remaining ones you care about most in this world?

Summary
"Once upon a time, there was a prince locked in a castle guarded by a beast.
Whoever crossed the castle and killed the beast could get the most beautiful man who ever existed. Golden hair that surrounded a sweet immaculate face, crimson eyes that looked at the world with the innocence of ignorance, pink lips like a heart for whoever wanted to take them.
Someone who had lived all his life locked up, how could he not fall for the first one who was kind to him? For whoever rescued the prince from the tower would keep not only his heart but the kingdom as well.
Armies fought for years for his hand, unaware that the prince had found love within the palace walls."
Or,
Dragon Alhaitham x prince Kaveh.
