Summary
Failure. Unbearable failure.
The heartbreak is worse than your wounds, worse than the angry teeth in your flesh, worse than knowing you are moments from death.
You will die having failed. Your vow broken.
The vision is already fading, but you haven’t seen enough yet. You force your Sight to remain open, to at least capture more of the eyes that seem to be the source of your torment.
They belong to a man, a beautiful one, with silver hair and pointed ears. An elf. A spawn.
The vision snaps closed.

Summary
Astarion was supposed to meet someone important today after crash landing on the beach, but he didn’t. Now he’s stuck playing the leader’s role for her while an unhelpful skeleton insists he track her down and drag her back to where she belongs. His thoughts are no longer his own, forced to remember a love he never asked for and doesn't want anything to do with. If he can survive the journey though, he'll free them both once and for all from this prison of fate he didn't know he was in.
Alternatively: "Wouldn't it be interesting if Astarion could see just how many times I've played this exact story line because I can't ever seem to choose anyone else?" I asked myself one night, not realizing I would become possessed with the need to answer my own question.

Summary
Astarion is given his memories from every life he's ever lived all at once because some random woman failed to be captured by an alien ship flying through Baldur's Gate. Only it turns out that this random woman is the love of not just one of his lives, but all of them. As much as he tries to resist Fate's puppet strings, Astarion can't quite avoid falling in love with her all over again.

Summary
Willow and Astarion are given the opportunity to enjoy their first night out since before their twins were born, and decide to attend a show at the music hall together.
“My jewel,” Astarion whispers with a barely concealed moan, “you should have told me how much you needed me.”
Willow bites her lip, holding back the noise she wants to make as she realizes what he means. “And what would you have done about it?”
“Hmm,” Astarion considers her question, rolling his fingers back and forth on the outside of her smallclothes. “I’m not sure. But maybe I wouldn’t have to do this.”
Willow doesn’t hear the sound of her stockings ripping; not over the sudden swell of music as the conductor raises his hands. Instead, she feels the touch of Astarion’s skin as he breaks through the fabric, slipping past her underwear with ease. Astarion knows exactly what he’s doing.

Summary
“Maybe what you really need is a friend, not a lover.”
Astarion’s eyes flutter with surprise. “I-I would like that. I’ve held more people than I can count. An infinite parade of lovers. But a friend?” He pauses on the question and his face becomes crestfallen. “I can’t think of a single one.”
He puts his hand out to Effy, to which she happily accepts.
“Until you,” he says with a smile—that only she’s ever seen.
Ever since that moment the two remained friends and even got an apartment together in the Lower City shortly after defeating the Netherbrain.
It’s been several months since; and Effy is still happily living with her vampire bestie, but Astarion’s been acting different lately…

Summary
Willow would have been his consort, but what she really wanted to be was his wife. Either way, she would have been his doting partner, picking out paint colors and party favors behind the scenes. She would have been anything for him, done anything for him.
As long as it was her choice to do it in the end.
The only thing Willow didn’t want to be was his spawn. And months ago, that was the dealbreaker.TLDR: After the fall of the Netherbrain and the end of her relationship with the Vampire Ascendant, Willow still wants a family. Astarion still wants her back.
Currently rewriting early chapters! See summaries for updates.

Summary
The world is saved, and everything is fine. Mostly. Just a few loose ends remain: a broken infernal engine, thousands of hungry spawn, a stalking eldritch horror, and the nightmare of emotional vulnerability. That’s probably all though.
What could go wrong?
This is a continuation of Rin and Astarion’s story from After the Fall.
