Summary
It's been half a year since Astarion returned to Baldur's Gate with his rediscovered love, Jen, Tav in her next life. Nevermind the fact that he had to make a deal with Baba Yaga and travel to an entirely different plane of existence called "Texas" to find her and fall in love with each other all over again. That's history now! He has his little mud mephit back, and they're just as happy as they can be at their estate in Baldur's Gate.
True, Jen may be struggling to learn magic. But he's certain she'll get there. She is an elf, after all. Or was. Anyway, bodies are changeable things, so he's certain her human form is temporary.
Jen, however, is less certain and feels more and more like an alien as days turn to weeks turn to months. She's no closer to learning where she fits in this wildly different new world. Her chronic conditions aren't getting any better, she can't seem to pick up magic, she's trapped away from everything she used to love, and she can't help but feel like it's all going to destroy the happiness she and Astarion found together before she left her life behind to be a part of his.

Summary
“But you didn’t kill me that night,” he said. “Why?”
“Because, darling. You were ever so resistant to my advances, if you recall.” Astarion huffed a humourless laugh. “I was rather put off, at the time. But now…”
He didn’t need to finish. Dev knew: if he had gone with Astarion that night, he wouldn’t be alive today.***
Deveryll met Astarion once before in a tavern, and turned down his advances. Now months later, they stumble across each other again, both infected with illithid tadpoles.

Summary
“Then, what is it you offer?”
The barkeep slid the requested wine up beside Astarion, and the pale stranger’s knowing smile returned. He leaned forward, closer now. When he reached past Astarion to fetch the glass, Astarion caught the otherworldly scent of his skin: earthy and herbal, but blue and scorched like the astral zephyr, as though what he had said about the planes was true. As the elf straightened, he paused for a moment, lingering at Astarion’s ear. He uttered a simple word: “Pleasure.”
Ten years after the defeat of the Absolute, Astarion haunts the streets of the Sword Coast like a ghost, alone, searching desperately for a cure to his undeath. While following the trail of a shadowy rumor, he meets a dark and mysterious man who reminds him of himself. With his fate hanging in the balance, he must decide whether to take this stranger’s hand and be led to a life new and strange. But—at what cost?

Summary
The wooden box is small and nondescript. Tied shut with a plain, blue ribbon. The both of them stare at it for a long, long moment sitting innocuously on the desk by their door.
“I’m opening it,” Astarion says and gives the ribbon a gentle tug.
It’s made of silk, judging from the texture and easy slide, and he lifts the tiny, metal latch holding it shut.
The inside is filled with more silk, the same, early-dawn blue. He admires the sooth glide of it even as he plucks that up to reveal the item nestled within.
“Huh,” his darling says. Which is her way to say many things, but in this case likely means, “That’s a tiny, metal cock.”
These two losers finally get their hands on a Greater Magic Phallus; Astarion intends to break that in. Thoroughly.

Summary
The world is saved, and everything is fine. Mostly. Just a few loose ends remain: a broken infernal engine, thousands of hungry spawn, a stalking eldritch horror, and the nightmare of emotional vulnerability. That’s probably all though.
What could go wrong?
This is a continuation of Rin and Astarion’s story from After the Fall.
