Summary
Used as a weapon and left on death’s doorstep, Lucifer must confront his past, his pride, and the angels he once called family. Charlie’s love becomes his only lifeline as he faces the impossible choice between dying in Hell or accepting Heaven’s aid one last time.
Or what if Lucifer had been hurt worse, and Charlie noticed and asked help from Emily?

Summary
Lucifer comes back changed from his ordeal in the weapon.
Alastor can't stand it. If the King of Hell can't stand on his own two feet, how is Alastor supposed to tear him down?
He tells himself he isn't helping. He's restoring what's his.

Summary
Three commands has Astarion broken, and now the fourth with a rapier through his gut and crossbow to his skull. Centuries he's wanted to be free—well, here it is. Dirt under his nails and blood behind his fangs. He's free. Isn't he fucking satisfied?
Astarion has not been a person in two hundred years. His journey to become one does not start off well.

Summary
The man was filthy. The beds of his nails were blackened with dirt. His pale hair was greasy and limp, his lips were dry and cracked, and his face was incredibly gaunt. He wore threadbare boxers and a tank top that hung loosely from his pallid and skeletal chest, and his feet were bare, the soles brown from walking on the street. He sat with Wyll's scratchy blanket clutched around his shoulders with one hand, and with the other he pressed the blade of a paring knife to Wyll's throat.
And so Wyll kept his eyes trained dutifully on the road.
Wyll goes for a late night drive to clear his head. Astarion needs to get as far away as possible — fast.

wash the windows just to say, "hey" by perhapsitiswitchcraft

Summary
It starts with the cracked pavement, littered with oil stains from the litany of beat-up cars that had parked there. Up on the gas station awning, there's a buzzing LED sign that’s gone half dark. When he inhales, sharp , the air is dry, dusty with the song of a coming monsoon.
Beyond the clear swinging glass doors, florescence lighting beckons him into the store. Inside, where the smell of cold coffee and clean tile is overwhelming, where soda slush spills out into the floor, where cigarettes lay locked behind a rounding counter in the center of the store.
Behind the counter, as always, is the cashier, with bright eyes and a dingy uniform and dark hair shorn short on the side. And always, she smiles when she sees him.
"Hey, soldier," she says. "Long day?"

Summary
Wyll watched Astarion a moment longer, how his back hunched and hands clenched. By all accounts, something was wrong. He hadn’t even looted the corpses. He loved looting corpses! But if he didn’t admit to a problem, there wasn’t a lot Wyll could do. He had to respect his privacy.
That didn’t mean Wyll couldn’t keep a little eye on him, though. Just for peace of mind.

Summary
Written for both the Wyllstarion Secret Solstice and the bg3 kinkmeme, exploring a rockier beginning to Astarion's relationship with the Tadfools, and especially the handsome Blade of Frontiers. When the shadows close in and Astarion finds he cannot trust any of his companions, what is a vampire to do?
~*~
In retrospect it was a very stupid idea to try a little taste of the dead woman, the one who'd perished by the overturned caravan. For one, the single swallow Astarion had managed hadn't even tasted good. Her blood had spoiled after the long hours spent baking in the hot sun.
And of course he'd been caught. Like the fool he is, fangs out and dripping with the putrid blood in plain sight of the handsome Blade of Frontiers.

Summary
It goes something like this: Astarion wakes up flat in the dirt, hands tied behind his back, bleeding. His head aches.
Wyll stands over him, uncharacteristically scared. "Astarion," he says, fast and frantic. "Are you back to yourself?"
There are two puncture wounds on his neck.
(It goes something like this: Astarion wakes up. The party says he attacked them. He does not remember this.)

Summary
"Mm," Karlach says, grabbing a whetstone as she sits beside him. "I think we should get married."
Astarion chokes. Chokes again. Sets his glass down and continues choking. "Excuse me?"
"We should get married," Karlach repeats, like he simply hadn't heard her. "Pass the wine, will ya?"
The snow will melt in Baldur's Gate.

Summary
The Royal Baldur Ballet's upcoming season is poised to be the most dramatic yet. With seven gorgeous ballets to stage, first soloist Astarion Ancunín is convinced this will be the season he finally shines bright enough, worthy of the rank of principal dancer. Enter Wyll Ravengard, stage left, and everything is about to change.
~*~
Wyll Ravengard is most definitely not an apprentice. Astarion knows that name, Wyll Ravengard. He won the Prix de Lausanne five or so years ago, the most prestigious competition for ballet students. Even as a student, it was clear that Wyll was going to be the ballet world’s next big star.
And now he’s here, in Astarion’s barre spot. In his rank.

Summary
Wyll Ravenguard is familiar with monsters. Monsters give him purpose: something to fight, a reason to keep moving forward, to avoid looking over his shoulder at the city and the home that he will never be welcome in again.
Then, he leaves Avernus with a mindflayer’s tadpole writhing through his brain. Then, he learns that the fiend he’d sworn to kill is an innocent tiefling. Then, his own personal devil tears the flesh from his bones and warps his body permanently, beyond his recognition.
Then, he wakes up in the calm of an otherwise quiet night to a vampire spawn’s teeth in his neck.
(Or: Wyll Ravenguard reshapes his definition of monsters. And maybe falls in love.)

Summary
The darkness in the kennel is thick, suffocating. It reeks of rat piss and molding hay. Every instinct screams danger, though Halsin cannot yet make out what hunts him. His darkvision does not pierce the deepest corners, but he knows—oh, he knows—
There’s something hungry here.
After saving the world, Tav turns their attention to dismantling Cazador Szarr. But what they discover in the bowels of the Szarr palace is far more than a single corrupt noble.

Summary
The ability to make his own decisions, while dizzyingly liberating, was also starting to become increasingly daunting, especially when he hasn’t had need to stand his ground in over two centuries.
Or; the five times someone had to help Astarion say no (and the one time he was able to do it himself)

Summary
Astarion just gently pushed the man away from the annoyed half-orc, “Please excuse my friend. He’s not accustomed to the intricacies of highway trading.” He noticed the look slide from the still complaining Gale to Astarion. And the spark of interest that flickered to life.
The spawn just smirked in response and tilted his head slightly, “I’m sure we can come to an agreement on some of your wares.”
“And what would you happen to be offering, elf?”
“Why, some of my own wares of course.”
Or; in which Astarion uses his talents to help the group. to the detriment of himself.

Summary
Marcus holds the goblet up, still stinking with klauthgrass, and ponders them, clutched in the wretched claws of his undead monsters. "Well," he says, and smiles. "If you will not willingly drink it, I have a manner of encouragement."
And then he raises his dagger, pricks his own wrist until scarlet pools over his pale skin, and lets blood drip into the goblet.
Before he can help it, Astarion stiffens.
Astarion has spent two hundred years with truth as a bitter enemy. Fitting, then, that his choice to say it is taken from him.
