Summary
Astarion should have died that night. In the story we know he did exactly that. Here, things went a little differently and he is very much alive.
However, healing magic has its limitations, and the Astarion who survived is markedly different from the one that fell to the Gur's clubs.
A month into recovery, he's still coming to terms with his loss of independence. Bedbound, partially mute, and being cared for by the same person who saved him in the first place: his mother. Apparently her adventuring days didn't fully end, even after decades of playing at being a proper Upper City wife.
Even worse, soon his beloved father decides caring for Astarion is a waste of time and resources, and tries to convince his mother to send him to... somewhere, anywhere, else.
It's amazing, what you start to notice when you're forced to stop and pay attention to people not named Astarion. So many aspects of his world and family, he now sees all too clearly. Out of the one eye that still works, anyway.
Updates every other Wednesday!

Summary
Karlach, Wyll, and Astarion are in Avernus, trying to survive. Everyday is a battle, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have some fun now and then, such as a nice game of ‘Never Have I Ever’ around what counts as a campfire in Avernus.
Oh, and another adventuring party has a bad time first. It’s Avernus, baby!

Summary
What if the person who helped make Astarion into an at least semi-functional person was just suddenly... gone? What would he do then?
A post-canon exploration of just that!
Astarion and Karlach were the hot camp couple, complete with so much public displays of affection people were like here we have pooled our money to get you your own room.
Then she decided to burn up on the end of the pier instead of going to Avernus!Shit.
What will Astarion (and I guess the other less important people) left behind do now?
previously called: Whoops, she burnt up! Sad Vampire is Sad (But not alone! and getting better!)

Summary
TL;DR - hey lets look at the BG3 story and expand out how Karlach and Astarion mighta become a couple.
Astarion and Karlach, at first glance these two companions couldn't be more different.
She's so open and loud and friendly and eager to do good. He's nothing like any of that.
But turns out, they have way more in common than either would have suspected.
Maybe a slight, sullen, suspicious vampire could use somebody who understands, but is nothing like him.
Even better if it turns out maybe she is a little bit like him.

Summary
The bustling metropolis of Baldur’s Gate had proven unkind to Astarion in the years since he moved there. Estranged from those who once loved him, the closest thing he has to friends or family are his fellow strippers at the club, Cazador's - a relationship only made worse by their constant misgendering of him.
All that starts to change when Astarion makes the uncharacteristic decision to rescue a cat from drowning, putting him in contact with one Dr. Gale Dekarios.
This is the story of a lost Astarion, a Gale who has already found his way, and an extremely patient Tara.
Fic contains art!

Summary
"Come with me to Avernus," Wyll says, easy, like he’s asking Astarion around for tea. Right. The Blade of Frontiers is the Blade of Avernus now. Sworn to cleanse the Hells of the devils that threaten the Sword Coast or some such rot. What an absurd idea. For a moment, Astarion imagines several ways to kill him painfully. Go there. To the place of her worst nightmares. The place she refused to return to despite his pleading. After everything that's happened, to step foot in that place, without her. It felt like a mockery of his pain to even suggest it.
The sun rises after the fall of the Absolute and Astarion burns first. Overcome with grief from the death of the first person he truly cared for, and haunted by her memory, Astarion accompanies the Blade of Avernus to Hell.

Summary
An AU fantasy anti-fascism fic with a cast of hundreds, running from DR 1492-DR 1494.
This will be dark, painful and vicious because fascists do fascist things (hence the Dead Dove), but I promise that there is eventually a happy ending.
