    Summary

    “I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”

    “I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”

    “The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”

    “Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

    --

    The Vampire Ascendent has crossed a line. Eleven years after making the biggest mistake of her life and losing the man she loved, tiefling wizard (now Archmage) Rosalie decides it’s time to put this Astarion in the ground for good. Hopefully, both her head and her heart are strong enough to see this awful task through to its end.

    Summary

    Tara flew to his shoulder and gazed down with him, taking in the scene.
    “Do you see it?” he whispered. “What…”
    “I see it.” She rubbed her cheek against his, her tail curling around his hunched shoulders.
    “What does it mean?”
    “It means hope, Gale. It means something real.”

    ---

    Four decades hence his divine ascension, the God of Ambition hungered still. Hungered for power, for glory, for worship— and for love.

    Summary

    There was something in Astarion's voice that Elric wasn’t catching– the reason why a paladin like him was still alive in the first place. Blood welled up in a hot line across his windpipe, the dagger digging in, and Astarion’s breathing deepened as it trickled down El’s neck. The reality of it washed over him like rain.

    “You want me,” he said.

    “To be mine,” Astarion said, soft, “as you promised.”

    --

    Or: a dark fantasy twist on the Ascension and its aftermath, and what it means to make choices you can't take back.

    --

    Or: Psst. Come closer. Yeah, you. This is the absolute opposite of a redemption fic. A post-canon, fall-from-grace, "I can make you infinitely worse" kind of story, in which there is no simple happy ending. But there's mystery on the way. And dragons. True love, even. So if you're fine with that, come aboard. It's going to be a wild ride.

    Summary

    “Vampires,” she offers, running through her mental list. “There is a moderately sized coven, or I believe it would be called such, operating in the city.”

    She feels a rumble of warmth through her body - approval.

    “Tell me of these creatures. Tell me what you know of them, and I will consider how such a being might serve our goals,” He signals for her to rise, finally satisfied with her genuflection. “I am interested in how a creature of such power might serve us, should you continue to fail me.”

    “They are called dhampirs, my Lord…”

    Halia was raised to be the perfect daughter, the perfect Bhaalspawn. A beautiful killer - brutality made flesh. But every Bhaalspawn must eventually provide more, continuing the terrible lineage so that their God may rise again. Now it’s her turn to provide a monstrous offspring, a worthy sacrifice.

    There aren’t many monsters she’d consider laying with, even fewer within Baldur’s Gate. She needs someone beautiful and pliant, someone who might understand her. It doesn’t occur to her that another spawn might be looking for the same thing.

    (a twisted, terrible love story without the tadpoles, mindflayers, and endless hiking through the sword coast)
