Summary
Astarion is the Vampire Ascendant. He has everything he ever craved—power, freedom, and a love he never expected to find. But centuries of darkness have left their mark. Though he once longed for a family, he long ago buried that dream beneath blood and survival.
When Tav discovers she is pregnant, her joy is quickly overshadowed by fear. How can a child exist in the world of a vampire? Will Astarion see the baby as a gift… or a threat to the power he’s fought so ruthlessly to obtain?
Torn between love and uncertainty, Tav must decide whether to reveal the truth—and risk losing him forever—or protect her child from the very man she loves.
****************************************************************
This will be a relatively short story that splits into 2 scenarios: The one where Tav runs and the one where she tells him the truth. Ultimately, this is a fluffy Ascendant Astarion story so you can expect smut, some light sub/dom, and an Astarion with lots of feels.

Summary
Can Be Read as a Standalone - Sequel to True Love's Possession: It has been a century since Astarion bound Tav in blood and eternity. Now, forbidden memories slip through in dreams she should no longer have—fragile reminders of freedom. But in his kingdom, love is possession, and desire is a chain. Astarion rules as a velvet-cloaked predator, all honeyed lies and sharpened cruelty. To love him is to be consumed—and Tav knows it with every touch, every seductive whisper, every subtle weight of his will.

Summary
A year after the fall of the Elder Brain and Astarion’s Ascension, Tav prepares to marry him—and to be turned into his vampire consort. What was once passion and victory now feels like a blur of carefully spun promises. As the wedding nears and the night of her turning approaches, Tav begins to feel it—an unease she can’t name, a pull she can’t resist. She realizes too late that their bond isn’t just love—it’s something deeper, older, more sinister. Astarion had never needed to control her outright; the bond had done the work for him. In every glance, every kiss, every whisper of forever, he wove something binding, something possessive. And now, on the edge of immortality, Tav can’t help but wonder if she ever truly had a choice.
Or: A dark twist on the pair of the True Love's rings.
