Astarion's Nice, Simple Plan That Fell Apart by UsuallyDyingInside
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
12 Apr 2024
Tags
Summary
Astarion had a plan. A nice, simple plan: seduce Tav, sleep with her, manipulate her feelings so she'd never turn on him.
All she had to do was fall for it.
And all he had to do was not fall for her.Which is where his nice, simple plan fell apart.

Exploring Astarion's POV throughout the game while romancing Dark Urge/Tav. Canon is followed in most cases, including with lines of dialogue from the game, but Act 2 and 3 break off from canon a few times in fun ways.Content warnings are listed ahead of the more intense chapters. Overall this fic (like the game) explores what healing from abuse looks like and has a lot of references to those themes.

Summary
“You know I love you, Astarion,” you tell him now, stroking the harsh line of his cheekbone, smoothing down his smile lines. “But there are some things about me that will be unchanged.”
He looks at you as if his stubborn lock might just be worth breaking.
“Tomorrow,” he says instead, kissing your neck, the divet between your collarbones. Your breath catches. “We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
Or: the first thing Astarion tells you is you're not allowed to leave the Palace. Post ending, Ascended Astarion/Good Aligned Vague F!Tav.

When He’s all but Forgotten How to Love Again by bg_brainrot

Summary
The man grunts as he rolls off of you. “Argh. You wretched little–”
Your mind is wracked with pain, with flashes of memory that you can’t place. A previous life? You’re not sure. But after the sting of your heads colliding, this strain is too much for your mind to bear. Your vision teeters, hanging on by a single thread, all that’s left are that man’s intense red eyes.
You emerge from your trance with a shaky breath. You reach for your throat, as if to make sure that it’s still in one piece, only to find it coated in a thin sheen of sweat.
What was that.
___
You saved Baldur’s Gate almost 300 years ago. You died 150 years ago. On a new life now, you find that memories from your past lead you to a specific silver-haired man. Who was he, and why won't he leave you be?
tldr; An Elf-Tav reincarnation story where Tav dreams about Astarion in their nightly reveries and eventually seeks him out once they reach maturity. Things definitely totally go well.

My love, are you the devil? (Oh, call me a devil) by BowieBond

Summary
Sometimes Astarion had to remind himself that there was a difference between a master and a leader. He expected much of what Tar’eon did to be that of an iron fist, like a master talking to his slaves, especially with his intimidating build, but he was…gentle. Disgustingly so, in Astarion's opinion.
***
Astarion found himself often surprised by his heroic companion. He had one goal. To become the favoured companion of the group, to earn the Tieflings loyalty, to make Tar'eons strength his own. Yet Tar'eon isn't like the usual target of his manipulations. Despite his naivety, he does not seem gullible. There is something very wrong with their 'leader' to begin with. Astarion isn't sure if he wants to control it or eradicate the threat it posed. But can he really do either when Tar'eon himself seems so...unwaveringly kind?
That devil is getting into his head, while others get into Tar'eons. He doesn't appreciate not having the upperhand after years of being at the disadvantage. He will find a way to make him see.
He is the one he should be listening to. Astarion would make it so, no matter the means.

Summary
Artemis has mastered the art of wearing masks, effortlessly slipping into different personas to ensure her survival in a life of blood and cruelty. She’ll do whatever necessary to complete her missions, all to perform to the expectations forced upon her by a malevolent master.
Sleuthing the dark, shadowed streets of Baldur’s Gate one minute, adducted by mind flayers the next, Artemis finds herself in a rare situation; she is wholly, irrevocably, out of her depth. Thrust into unfamiliar territory and surrounded by a group of enigmatic strangers, the ruthless assassin must don the persona of the plucky, witty mercenary.
It should come as second nature to deceive and manipulate her new companions, to tangle them seamlessly in her web of lies. Yet, Artemis discovers she is not alone in the art of manipulating minds and hearts. Astarion not only harbours secrets as deep and twisted as hers, but he also seems unwittingly driven to outmanoeuvre her in her own game. Unbeknownst to him, manipulation is a dance whose steps Artemis has long perfected.
Let the games begin, high elf.

Summary
One night every year. She is always there waiting and he will always come.
A story that was supposed to be shameless smut but as usual, morphed into something with feelings. As a vampire lord, Astarion could not posses the woman who made it all happen for him. So a deal is made, one night a year. One night in her presence and passion. One night to push the blade in that little further....

To Love a Gentle Heart by Astr

Summary
Astarion hates how very, nauseatingly kind Willow is.
It's also one of his favorite things about her (or it will be).
A shameless self-indulgent fic where someone doesn't give into the feral-cat anger of Astarion, and he manages to snag a 10/10 goody good.
Departs from Canon (probably a lot oops)
