Summary
I wrote this 20,000-odd word fragment a while back and am not sure if I'm ever going to complete it, but I re-read it recently and kind of liked what I had so far, so I decided to post to archive it.
Basically porn with plot, Astarion and crew working out their feelings with some *sexual healing* and gazing longingly at each other. Starts with the Grove and the party splits, half go with the Tieflings to get them safely aboveground to the Shadow-Cursed Lands, the others pretend to be followers of Loviatar to get into the Underdark through the Goblin Camp. They are attacked by the Spectator and the Drow, taken captive, but Halsin frees tem by turning into his bear form, implied to be a were-bear rather than a wild shape. The trio start developing feelings for each other.

Summary
In an AU without tadpoles, Cazador succeeds in his Rite of Profane Ascension, sacrificing seven thousand souls to Mephistopheles to fight for him in the Blood Wars in Avernus, including Astarion. After charming the devil and becoming his pet, Astarion is swept up in an adventure in the Hells to gain his freedom, along with a party of adventurers. He decides to seduce their leader, a wizard named Gale, along the way to the famed buried city of Kintyre in the frozen realm of Cania, the eighth circle of the Hells. They come across dangers and violence in their adventure which cause them to have to deal with their past traumas and abuse together. Will the adventurers find a way out of the Hells into freedom or will they find themselves in a hell of their own making?

I imagined this book starting after Part 1 of my first fanfic, Mine, which details Astarion and Cazador's backstory (minus Gortash and the tadpoles of course). I used this book to question how trauma can cause us to make things unnecessarily worse for ourselves. It deals with pretty heavy stuff and depicts rape and other violence. It all works out in the end though. <3 -

Summary
Cazador/Astarion origin story into Gale/Astarion romance novel. Each book can stand on its own.
“Hello there, little one.” It was said as sweet as spider’s venom. It sickened me.
I cried out, terror gripping me as he started to stroke the dirt from my curls.
He seemed almost serene. “This time you’re coming home with me and staying forever.” He gripped my chin and forced me to look at him. Tears streaming down my face made muddy tracks down my chest and the knees I found I was clutching. He smirked, a real sweetness sneaking through. He whispered, “You’re so beautiful when you’re frightened.” He traced my shaking lips with his thumb. I sobbed as his final whisper resonated somewhere within me: “You’re mine.”

Summary
"Volo," said Tav.
"Would taste like blackstaff wine," Astarion said. "Boisterous, bright, and unbalanced."
"I like that," said Tav. She was sprawled on cushions, sorting through their supplies for dinner. "Different from the namesake, but it works. Your turn."
"The hag," Astarion suggested.
"Oh gods," said Tav. "That's an interesting one. Something that starts lovely, but with an awful surprise. Elverquisst, but there's a rotting fish at the bottom of the bottle."

A troupe-master bard is plucked up by the Nautiloid. She transitions from directing plays to directing an adventuring party and becomes immediate chaos-gremlin-besties with the rogue. This has a number of almost disastrous consequences and involves far more talking about feelings than any vampire should reasonably be expected to do.
A story about a bunch of traumatized people becoming better, because that can happen when you find yourself in a new place and suddenly have a support network.

“In a sense… yes.”

“... Yes.”

Summary
Granny Rags attempts revenge for Corvo’s interference in the sewers - it doesn't quite go as planned. Corvo likes the fact that his name means ‘crow,’ but that doesn’t mean he ever actually wanted to be one, and for once Daud is (arguably) not responsible for this mess.

Summary
Gale, once the esteemed Archmage of Waterdeep and now the self-appointed Grand Collector of Magical Misalignments, finds himself stranded in an unfamiliar land with a ragtag group of liars, cutthroats, and aliens. While he manages to rekindle his long-neglected skills in building friendships with most of them, it's painfully apparent that the vampire harbours a profound dislike for him. Given his recent streak of misfortune, it's no surprise that fate dictates learning more about the volatile orb lodged in Gale's chest requires Astarion's begrudging cooperation.
Astarion, for his part, is simply trying to survive.
Thus begins a journey marked by personal evolution, confronting inner and not-so-inner demons and embracing self-compassion—not necessarily in that order.
Oh yes, and they also need to save the world.
