Summary
For centuries, Astarion wanted nothing more than his freedom. Now that he has it, he finds himself falling into old habits to secure his protection—only to discover that Imara is not the easy target he thought she’d be. Though she has dark secrets of her own, her kindness, sharp wit, and even her ruthlessness surprise and delight him at every turn.
With Imara at his side, Astarion begins to understand that life has much more to offer than just surviving. His path toward healing won’t be an easy one, but he is determined to use his newfound freedom to reclaim his body—and his mind—so that he may finally begin to live again.

Summary
“I’m actually supposed to be meeting a friend, but I’m not sure she’s coming. She was supposed to meet me by now.” She answered, sipping her wine.
“A shame, really.” He said, his voice flirtatious and suggestive. “Tell you what, my dear,” He began, digging himself into a hole he wasn’t sure he could dig himself out of. “If she doesn’t show by the time you’ve finished that drink, come find me.”
She hesitated, but smiled, holding her hand out to shake his. “Aelynn.”
Aelynn. Her name was a chorus in his head. He reached out to shake her hand.
“Astarion.” He took her hand as he spoke, giving it a slight shake.

Summary
Getting abducted by squids and infected with a Mind Flayer parasite was never part of Visenya’s plan to steal the Annals of Karsus for her client. Yet, as a dhampir with a traumatic past and sanguine hunger, she's no stranger to life chasing you with torches and pitchforks. Fortunately, she finds an unexpected ally in Astarion, who understands the struggle for autonomy and identity and her bloody world.
Join Visenya, Astarion, and the tadfools as they confront the horrors of Faerûn: Dark Urges, cults, and their own inner demons. Amidst the chaos, romance blossoms, friendships are forged, and morals collide in this epic slow-burn tale.
Will Visenya find love, acceptance, and her place in a world that fears her? Or will she succumb to the darkness within? Embark on this journey of adventure, self-discovery, and love as Visenya learns that sometimes, embracing your inner monster is the key to finding where you truly belong.
The title is borrowed from Hozier's song of the same name.
Larian owns everything, including my soul (does that make me a Warlock?…). Any resemblance between this and other works and/or real people is coincidental.

Summary
Willow would have been his consort, but what she really wanted to be was his wife. Either way, she would have been his doting partner, picking out paint colors and party favors behind the scenes. She would have been anything for him, done anything for him.
As long as it was her choice to do it in the end.
The only thing Willow didn’t want to be was his spawn. And months ago, that was the dealbreaker.TLDR: After the fall of the Netherbrain and the end of her relationship with the Vampire Ascendant, Willow still wants a family. Astarion still wants her back.
