Summary
Find a way to walk in the sun again. That was Tav's suggestion to Astarion, his remorse over its loss too great for her to ignore. Haunted by a dark past, Astarion hungers for a life bathed in sunlight. But a vampire's key to the sun is not without consequence. Determined to reclaim his mortality, Astarion and Tavriel embark on a perilous journey. An ancient relic of Lathander, God of the Dawn, offers a glimmer of hope, but at a terrible cost that leaves him blind.
Through trials, Astarion finds himself on an unexpected path of redemption. Forced into a unique situation, he must learn the value of insight and trust in others. On this darkened road, he and Tavriel rediscover the power of their love, facing challenges both familiar and new.
Join them on an epic adventure through the Forgotten Realms, divided into three compelling arcs, as they navigate a world of darkness and forge their path towards the light.

Astarion's Nice, Simple Plan That Fell Apart by UsuallyDyingInside
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

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
"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.”
