    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.

    Summary

    I’m sorry, she mouthed. I love you.
    And then she turned back to face Bhaal, chin held high, and told him without a trace of regret “I don’t need any of this. The only family I know are those who fight by my side.”
    If Astarion’s heart were beating, it would have stopped. He was frozen, rooted to the spot and unable to look away as Nerissa’s nose began to drip blood. Her body violently shuddered, and she clutched at her stomach as she doubled over, falling to her knees with a dull thud.
    “You reject my blood,” commanded the voice of Bhaal. “And so I will reclaim it.”

    Summary

    He’s piqued her curiosity. “A shame?”

    “A flower like you, so alone in her garden.” He’s watched her go home in solitude a number of times. On a bolder night, he had followed her. Chalked it up to Cazador as simple stalking of prey when he stalled in getting home. She is alone, it’s what makes this too easy.

    Summary

    “You’re going to sit nicely in my lap, perhaps naked, as I give orders to our nocturnal horde from my palace throne.”

     

    Tav disciplines some unruly spawn, they don’t like that and try to get even. Astarion really doesn’t like that. He shows the coven that it’s a good idea to not fuck with his baby. He then fucks his baby in his throne to drive the point home.
