Summary
We all know Astarion died about two hundred years ago.
But what if he didn’t?
What if he was saved before the final fatal blows?
Alas, while Astarion’s life was saved, nothing will ever be the same again.
Healing magic can only do so much, especially if there was no trained healer on the scene for his poor battered & broken body. The former magistrate is now disabled, with both temporary and permanent conditions. Amongst the latter is the inability to properly speak. He can understand what is being said, for the most part, but responding? A fair bit more difficult. Almost impossible, really. The wonderful world of brain damage…
When the story begins, he has been recovering for roughly a month, coming to terms with his new limitations and who it was that saved him. His mother of all people! Retired adventures never forget some tricks, even if they have spent the past few decades playing at being a proper noble wife.
Everything gets more complicated as he realizes certain things about his family, things he was willfully blind to, but now sees all too clearly, out of the one eye that still works, anyway.
Updates every other Wednesday!

Summary
Karlach, Wyll, and Astarion are in Avernus, trying to survive. Everyday is a battle, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have some fun now and then, such as a nice game of ‘Never Have I Ever’ around what counts as a campfire in Avernus.
Oh, and another adventuring party has a bad time first. It’s Avernus, baby!

Summary
What if the person who helped make Astarion into an at least semi-functional person was just suddenly... gone? What would he do then?
A post-canon exploration of just that!
Astarion and Karlach were the hot camp couple, complete with so much public displays of affection people were like here we have pooled our money to get you your own room.
Then she decided to burn up on the end of the pier instead of going to Avernus!Shit.
What will Astarion (and I guess the other less important people) left behind do now?
previously called: Whoops, she burnt up! Sad Vampire is Sad (But not alone! and getting better!)

Summary
TL;DR - hey lets look at the BG3 story and expand out how Karlach and Astarion mighta become a couple.
Astarion and Karlach, at first glance these two companions couldn't be more different.
She's so open and loud and friendly and eager to do good. He's nothing like any of that.
But turns out, they have way more in common than either would have suspected.
Maybe a slight, sullen, suspicious vampire could use somebody who understands, but is nothing like him.
Even better if it turns out maybe she is a little bit like him.

Summary
The terminal monitor swings, filling Shadowheart's vision with the gentle chyron of Mother Mainframe. Upon the screen she is two perfect lips and a gaze covered by a fluffy eyemask. There’s a fetching pair of eyes embroidered upon its silk: lined dark, full-lashed and painted deep purple. They stare out with a knowing gaze while Mother, ever-working through each vein of their Vault, slumbers softly beneath.
The face soon fades. For a moment, she is alone in the false moonlight of the medbay, before the ominous tick-tack of text spills out in stark green.

Summary
In which Durge retraces his steps from the domination of the Elder Brain back to his awakening on the Nautiloid, and faces the many sins he committed along the way. Fortunately, he has someone by his side who is more than happy to remind him.
---
Bhaal’s face was replaced with Cyril’s reflection in the blood pool. The tiefling laid flat on his back and wept. A divine resurrection, for no other reason than to please him. The slimy little tyrant would live, and be the last soul alive in the whole of Faerun. The feelings of happiness, companionship, and lust flooded back to him, held back by the levees of disgust he had used to contain them. They would be together, until the bitter end of the world.
Cyril gathered himself and stood, walking over to his lover’s corpse, Enver’s corpse. A hint of terror sunk behind his eyes. He had to get this right. It meant everything. He knelt beside him, looking at his crushed-in face and now stagnant stab wound. His hands shook as he placed them on Enver’s chest.
Te curo.
