Summary
Sequal to In the End, We Burn Together.
Sophia, the Nephilim, has taken Cazador's spawn with her back to Sanctuary.
Wanting to create stability for the planet, she has to not only build her faction and gather like minded organisations to her cause, she must also face intrigue, political maneuvering, power grabs, alliances and betrayals, all while trying to find Diablo and stop him before he turns all of Sanctuary into his corrupted mind flayers. -

Summary
Sophia, once a cleaner on Earth, played a game with her nephew that thrust them both into Sanctuary, awakening latent Nephalem powers that forged her into a saviour amid a war between angels, demons and humans. Now immortal but haunted by guilt over those she couldn't save, she years to return to Earth, where her powers might fade, yet dreads facing her past.
Abducted by a mind flayer ship midway via returning home, she's hurled into Faerun, navigating a world of hidden dangers. Among a motley crew led by Tav, a noblewoman with a silver tongue and veiled motives, Sophia faces treachery and deception. Astarion, a vampire with a razor wit, trades barbs with her, their sparks kindling an unexpected bond.
As a dark force stirs within, Sophia's choices could save two realms - or doom them forever.Sorry to add this next part, but I've had quite a few of these on this story, and I'm not interested:
NO COMMISIONS, NO COMMERCIAL OFFERS.
Thankyou.Series

Summary
Note: This story is now on permanent hiatus.
I am rewriting and reposting it under the original name, Threadbare.
Read it hereNora Feyre was a middle-aged math teacher with a sketchy past, questions about her identity, and an unhealthy enjoyment of killing.
Astarion was a vampire spawn who thirsted for blood, freedom, and revenge on his cruel master.
When a Mindflayer ship kidnaps them and drops them into a fight for survival, neither wants to catch feelings for anyone, let alone for each other. Even long after these two idiots had already fallen in love, it takes all of Karlach's best efforts to keep them from fucking it up.
A slow burn, canon-respectful but divergent retelling of the main plot of BG3. Emphasis on divergent.

Summary
Detour from Fated, where I explore the power of an ascended Astarion and how his relationship with Tav would look like post-game.
This version of AA is entitled and manipulative and he will do whatever he wants.
And Tav is conflicted between being nice, letting him get his way, working through the compulsion he uses on her.
The plot is a complete power imbalance in a relationship, with extra layers of fun complications.-
"On your hands and knees, little love."What? How was I supposed to do that? He must have seen my thoughts on my face because the next thing I knew I was face down on the bed, my bare ass up high as I was placed over his knees. Fuck. I tried to struggle against it, but in another swift motion I felt the lock on my arms behind my back and my legs were held firmly by one of his.
It was humiliating, I struggled, and I heard him chuckle at my useless attempt."Now, do you know why you're being punished?"
For being an idiot and falling in love with you? For not agreeing with you? For being an idiot and agreeing to become a spawn even though I didn't think about what that might imply? I writhed against him again even though I knew it was a pathetic attempt.

Summary
In the beginning...Phaera Duskryn was a slightly unhinged paladin drow out on the surface for the first time. Astarion smelled blood, figuratively and literally. Much to both of their surprise, a little fling became a thing became...well, Phaera's a vampire now. And although she is an absolute and ambitious menace in the streets, she's a good little girl between the sheets.
Just remember: vampires are chaotic evil. Astarion, and Phaera, are NOT GOOD PEOPLE. And we love them for that.
Each chapter is like a vignette from their life together. Bite-sized, as one might say. See the smut chapter breakdown below for those of you who just want to jump to the smut (major things tagged with chapter).
New chapters when I get a moment to myself (grad school is kicking my butt).

“What a wicked little spider you are,” he murmured against her mouth as she pressed it on his.
“What a dangerous compliment.”
“I am dangerous, aren’t I?”
More nuzzling of her nose against his. “What have I done to earn such a beautiful blasphemy?”

Summary
"No. We were brought here for a reason, Sammy." He grinned at her, a flash of white teeth. "We're here to wreak havoc."
Sam was not on board with that idea. Absolutely not. They weren't here to exploit this new world. They weren't going to mess with the story just because they could. And she wasn't grinning right back at him.
No.
Of course not.
They were here to make things better. They were here with the foreknowledge of what would happen so they could help people. She wasn't thinking about how much chaos they could create, or how someone like Jim being Harry Potter was going to destroy the entire plot. And she definitely wasn't thinking about the damage they could do to just about everything with magic at their disposal.
She wasn't.
"You're right," Sam leaned across the table so they were inches apart as she whispered, "Let's fuck shit up."

Summary
Turns out, it’s not heart disease that gets you. Not a car crash, the second coming, or even a plain old slip in the shower that removes you from this mortal coil.
It’s motherfucking aliens.
Your Uncle Randy would be so proud.
Or: two losers cheat, stab, and flirt their way to a win.
