    Summary

    Spoilers for BG3 ahead!

    It's been 30 years since Xalena and her companions saved Faerun from the Elder Brain. It's also been 30 years since Astarion completed Cazador's ritual and became an Ascendant Vampire. After refusing to become his spawn, Xalena and Astarion part ways. But the hero of Faerun has been captured in a moment of weakness by flesh traders. Before death comes knocking at her door, she gets saved by someone she least expects: Astarion the Governor of Baldur's Gate, and the resident Ascendant Vampire himself. As Xalena recovers from her near-death experience, she notices Astarion isn't quite the bloodthirsty tyrant she assumed he would become. Is it possible that the man she used to love is still there? A dangerous thought for a dangerous man.

    Basically, a second-chance romance where Astarion finds a way to experience emotion like his former self but he is still an Ascendant Vampire. Get ready for angst and healing with a happy ending! Using the Tav from my game who is a Half-Drow Druid because I'm self-indulgent :)

    Smut starts on Chapter 13. Tags are in the chapter description.

    Summary

    Some part of him could picture it then, could imagine telling her everything - speaking til dawn on his whole history. Spending the next day in this same spot, diving into what he knew of hers. Asking how it felt to gore that bard. Instead, he mirrored her smile - his own wicked grin for seducing and scheming.

    “I’ve wanted to taste you since I first felt that pretty neck under my blade.”

    And as her head fell back in a laugh, the white expanse of her neck on full display at his easy, overused line, he watched the golden girl fall into the palm of his hand.

    ---
    COMPLETED.

    Astarion had known the woman's face immediately - Halia Dhune, the golden daughter of Baldur's Gate. The princess of the upper city. How many times had Cazador sent him after her - wanting to claim the socialite as a trophy to add to his awful collection? At least now he wouldn't have to go back to his master empty handed, should the tadpole situation not work out in his favor.

    (or: what if the Dark Urge was a noble woman, perfect and popular, and her father's favorite fox in the henhouse. and of course, what if our dear vampire knew of her before the crash?)

    Summary

    So this was it, then. One final cruel joke from the gods. One last glimmer of hope, real hope, only for it to be taken away.

    Inspired by the scene where Astarion literally has to watch Tav die in the Temple of Bhaal. Mostly angst but also a little bit of smut (as a treat)
