Full Disclosure: I Am a Monster by 2towels for mmeme
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
03 Oct 2023
Tags
Summary
Wyll offered his arm, and Astarion did not take it immediately to leave room for him to look Wyll’s own outfit up and down. “Thank you, dear.” He murmured distractedly, thinking on the colors of their embroidery together. “Is this the doublet I had ordered from Thay? When did this arrive?” He picked a clawed finger at the seams along the sleeve, and Wyll lifted his arm compliantly, no question needed.
There was an amusement in Wyll’s voice when he responded, “You would know better than I, these things simply arrive in my wardrobes. Don’t tell me,” He leaned forward, and Astarion flitted his own unamused look at the tone he suddenly took on, “We should change, shouldn’t we? What may they think of our arrival if we look so ill-mannered as to clash at our own party?”
==
Having moved in with Wyll after the fall of the tadpoles, Astarion has informally established himself as the trophy husband of Duke Ravengard. This is done mostly for his own amusement and so he can hear the circulating gossip as a result, but it has also the unintended side effect of making Astarion hyper-aware of Wyll's perhaps wanting a husband proper, and where a coy vampire lover falls into that arrangement.

A Blazing Star by Moonmaiden86
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games), baldur's gate 3 - Fandom, Bg3 - Fandom, Dungeons & Dragons (Roleplaying Game)
31 May 2026

Summary
This work will alternate POV between Astarion, Gale, and Halsin, and focus on character exploration, and expanding on a lot of sub-plots from the game regarding the three of them. The canon events will still occur, but a little out of order, and sometimes for different reasons.
The main plot will revolve around Astarion’s gradual discovery of the Black Mass Ritual, and all the Infernal implications of its completion. His past trauma will feature heavily in this fic, and all that entails. The basic idea is that the Black Mass has been centuries in the making, and there are those in the Hells who would rather not see it succeed… at least not as Cazador intends.

A Werebear, a Vampire Spawn and a Zhentarim Walk Into a Cave... by FridayPlease, WincestielFTTFWin
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
11 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
Zarys grunted disdainfully at Rugan and spat into Astarion’s cage as she strode by. She seemed entirely uninterested in him, far more interested in the bear’s accommodations. “Pen’s ready for the bear?”
“Yes,” Rugan answered dryly. Astarion’s practiced ear could catch the faintest hint of disgusted hatred in his tone. The man hid it well, under nuanced layers of carefully crafted respect, as false as it was perfect.
Zarys scowled at him fiercely, her lip curling in a disdain she did not bother to hide. “Then fucking open it!”
Cautiously, Astarion cracked an eye open and watched as the bear was inched past him, the massive creature fouled with blood and unconscious, head lolling limply on a boneless neck, pink tongue hanging out past sharp, useless teeth.
Useless, for they were trapped behind an iron muzzle, the goblin-crafted contraption locked cruelly around the beast’s face, locked by jagged metal straps to an equally savage iron collar fastened around the thick, furry neck.
Gods… Astarion found himself staring, realizing the blood coating the beast was goblin blood. You gave as good as you got, didn’t you?

Summary
It goes something like this: Astarion wakes up flat in the dirt, hands tied behind his back, bleeding. His head aches.
Wyll stands over him, uncharacteristically scared. "Astarion," he says, fast and frantic. "Are you back to yourself?"
There are two puncture wounds on his neck.
(It goes something like this: Astarion wakes up. The party says he attacked them. He does not remember this.)

Summary
Marcus holds the goblet up, still stinking with klauthgrass, and ponders them, clutched in the wretched claws of his undead monsters. "Well," he says, and smiles. "If you will not willingly drink it, I have a manner of encouragement."
And then he raises his dagger, pricks his own wrist until scarlet pools over his pale skin, and lets blood drip into the goblet.
Before he can help it, Astarion stiffens.
Astarion has spent two hundred years with truth as a bitter enemy. Fitting, then, that his choice to say it is taken from him.

Summary
Harry gets hit by a killing curse and instead of dying travels to a different reality where he is the bratty husband of the Minister of Magic Tom Riddle. Harry realizes that his husband actually hates him and can barely tolerate his scandalous and petty behaviour and married him only for political connections with the Potter family. That's all good since he doesn't like Riddle either. Tom, on the other hand, is confused by his pureblood husband's new and strange behaviour.

Summary
He’s not going to have sex with a twenty-year-old Tom Riddle. He won’t sink that low.
“Hm. Not even for twenty-five Galleons?”
Harry swallows. That’s a lot of money. It should be enough to finally afford that new coat he will need for the winter. And yet, Harry hesitates. He can’t risk changing the future. He still hopes he will, somehow, find a way to return to his friends. It’d be stupid to risk that just because he doesn’t want to freeze.
But why should Riddle sleeping with some whore change history? That’s ridiculous.
“Alright,” Harry sighs. “But only if you pay for the room.”

Summary
Shen Qingqiu had promised himself he wouldn’t use the curse he found, the one that tied the caster and the subject together through blood, depending on their version tied their very souls together. He swore he wouldn’t subject Binghe to that, wouldn’t rob him of the chance for revenge by being literally incapable of hurting Shen Qingqiu without also injuring himself.
Shen Qingqiu knew he was lying to himself at the time but surely he can find some way to apologize to Binghe after he soul binds them together and doesn’t have to fear dying horribly
