Summary
"There is no part of Jamie that still loves the person Astarion became. But once upon a time, Jamie loved the person Astarion was. Jamie also loved a cleric who was finding herself and a tiefling who wanted to live and a young man who missed his father. Now all of them are, in different ways, gone.
That doesn't mean Jamie wants to fucking kill them."
--
Twenty years after the Absolute's defeat, Jamie receives an order from their patron to kill Vampire Lord Astarion, which forces them to return to Baldur's Gate from Waterdeep for the first time. But their former lover isn't here—the Crimson Palace seems deserted. They can think of only one person who might know where Astarion is: a certain Dark Justiciar they fell out with two decades ago.

Summary
There's a gala at the Szarr Palace tonight, and Astarion is being punished.
Neither of these is particularly unusual.
What is unusual, though, is the guest list. Dalyria has discovered plenty of strange names, including a group of vampire royals and a number of devils straight from the Hells. What is the Master planning?
Astarion doesn't know, and he doesn't care. He just needs to tailor the Szarr family's outfits and seduce as many partygoers as possible so Cazador may finally allow him some blood. All he must do is turn off his thoughts, give the guests a night to remember, and move on. It's utterly routine.
Or it should be. But nothing is ever so straightforward when devils and vampires mix.

Summary
"So you're telling me you wouldn't rather put your shirt back on and, like, go for a walk with me?"
The truth is, there's something deeply wrong with Jamie.
And unfortunately, Astarion is utterly fascinated by whatever that is.
***
Jamie Cross sees through Astarion's nice, simple plan in the forest that night. Astarion doesn't know what to make of someone turning him down.
Not that he's ever known what to make of the blood sorcerer/warlock who's leading this party.
Tonight, Astarion gets to know and taste Jamie in an entirely different way than he expected.

today i missed my workout, but it worked out by lilhumanoid

Summary
Astarion works at the smoothie counter inside of Gale's Simulacrum, a queer-run gym with two resident cats, alongside his friends Karlach, Jenevelle, and Lae'zel. But at night, he's one of Cazador Szarr's "stars"—sex workers forced to staff an exclusive nightclub called The Crimson Palace. His job is supposed to help him pay off his debts to Cazador, at which point he'll be allowed to join the legendary Szarr modeling agency. Somehow, though, Astarion's debts only seem to climb higher...
But it's hard to focus on his ever-increasing debts when Jamie Cross, a local legend famous for performing astounding feats of raw strength despite their physical size, comes into the gym almost every day. Jamie and Astarion's relationship is, so far, nothing beyond quick sex between workouts and occasional late-night texts. His friends say Jamie's just using Astarion, but Astarion is beginning to suspect that Jamie might have secrets similar to his own.
Their body might not belong to them, either.

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
Astarion thought this stupid hot sauce show would last a season or two before it was cancelled. Ten years later, he’s still Cazador’s sidekick, taking potshots for laughs and enduring worse abuse when the cameras stop rolling.
An upcoming guest—famed magician Gale Dekarios—has never seen an episode of Hot Mess, and he’s about to shake things up.

Summary
Astarion has spent more than his fair share of time in and out of hospitals and emergency rooms, and one thing is always guaranteed : no one knows what to do with him. He's used to being misunderstood, questioned, and flat-out accused of lying or exaggerating.
But he's sick. He knows he is. He just doesn't know why.
Dr. Gale Dekarios has always loved a challenge. A chance encounter with a beautiful - and mysterious - patient leaves him thinking about the man for days, and when the man appears in his office a week later, Gale is determined to find the answers he deserves.
A story about being seen, being cared for, and falling in love.

Summary
This is about a headcanon I wanted to explore through narrative fiction. About how it would feel for Astarion to be properly fed after 200 years of starvation - because I cannot even imagine that it would feel “normal” for him to be satiated, despite his vampiric inclinations and instincts to drink whenever blood is available, and despite the painful hunger. I don’t know if it makes sense in the end but oh well.
