Summary
Her brazen defiance of his allegations and her insistence on proving her piety has angered Astarion in a way he can't quite put into words, but he knows that the way she rejects what he knows so intimately to be true in service of her own self-preservation is maddening and incompatible with reality.
“You vex me.”
━━ ◆ ━━
Or, Paladin Tav's insistence on helping everyone the party comes across irritates Astarion to no end. He decides to test the limits of her virtue.

Summary
After a piece of prey slips through his fingers, Astarion decides to play a longer game to lure in this shiny new victim. It's routine, nothing he hasn't done a hundred times before. But that all changes when Cazador orders his spawn to retrieve a mysterious magical artifact, no matter the cost, with a tantalizing reward promised to whoever succeeds.
For once, Astarion is blessed with a stroke of luck: his shiny new victim is after the same artifact and may be closer to its retrieval than Cazador. Do the hard work of tracking it down himself? Not really Astarion's style. Let his new victim do it and steal the artifact from her at the last moment? Oh, absolutely.

Summary
"It's over. I'm done with it," Astarion's voice was a broken whisper, barely audible over his sobs. He was speaking to himself, affirming the end of a chapter steeped in torment. The sight was heartbreaking. Sad. He knelt there for a moment, as if trying to believe what had happened.
Then, rising from the ground and lifting his bloodshot eyes to meet Tav's, his expression twisted into something bitter and cold. "And I'm done with you," he spat out venomously.
Tav's step faltered, her hand still suspended in the air. Confusion and hurt welled up inside her. "What?" she stammered, her mind racing to make sense of his words. He was in shock, surely. The trauma, the bloodshed, it had to be too much.
But Astarion's voice cut through her thoughts, icy and trembling with a raw edge of emotion she had never heard before. "I would say good luck out there, but honestly?" His gaze was piercing, unyielding. "I hope you die." The words slithered out like a curse, each syllable dripping with a venom that chilled her to the bone.
Astarion narrowed his eyes, leaned towards her and whispered ominously, only to her. “Screaming.”

Summary
”Are you sure,” she managed to speak between kisses, “you want this?”“You’re asking me? You’re the one,” he murmured, nibbling her lower lip, “getting married, darling.”
* * *
“Maybe what you really need is a friend, not a lover,” she’d told him.
Tavya's with Gale now; Astarion is just a very close friend.
So it’s definitely not a big deal when she runs into him the night before her wedding… right?
Or, a story about Tav and Astarion becoming more than friends again in the messiest way possible.
