Summary
Of course his would-be killer would take the shape of a beautiful, gallant man that seemed to have stepped right out of a storybook. Astarion was the villain of this story, the looming monster that held the hope of a happy ending in its grip till it was slain unceremoniously by the hero. Wasn’t he?
In 1450 DR, the fallen angel Zariel is overthrown by her jealous dukes in a bloody civil war, throwing the balance of power in the Hells into utter disarray. Almost half a century later, the Blade of Frontiers is put on the trail of a certain vampire spawn.
Or: a warlock, a werewolf, and a vampire walk into a tavern. Things escalate.

Summary
“Oh, it’s you,” Astarion bit out, fangs just as sharp as ever. He made a mocking Blade’s gesture, bringing his hand up to his chest. “What could the famed Blade of Avernus possibly want with a wretched monster like me?”
“Nothing more than the pleasant surprise of seeing an old friend, Astarion.” Wyll eyed him carefully.
Wyll and Astarion’s reunion a year after the death of the Netherbrain, and what follows.

Summary
Wyll Ravengard is a lot of things. He is a devoted husband, a loving son, a hero of Baldur’s Gate, and the Blade of Frontiers. Right now, he is also having to play peacekeeper between his father and Astarion—a task made all the more complicated by Astarion’s recent involuntary transformation into a far more bat-like body. Although Wyll may be the only one of the three of them who loves Astarion’s new wings and claws, and although every attempt at a cure so far has led them to a dead end… where there is a Wyll, there is a way.

Summary
Traitorous logical thoughts came to mind: Where could this even go? Wyll had never felt keen to the idea of short romps and notched bedposts; he’d never fault another for it, but it was never something he wanted for himself. The merman was not built for the same world as Wyll. He couldn’t ride a horse or walk down a bazaar; there was so much that would make parting… inevitable. Wyll wanted the love that lasted an eternity, burning bright and forever like the sun. A hopeless romantic, he’d often been labeled.
—
Years after the Absolute Crisis, Wyll would consider himself fairly fulfilled with his life (even if others may disagree): He has a horse, hunts monsters for a living as a Ranger, He’s rid himself of Mizora, and travels the sword coast helping the good folk on Toril.
His plans for hunting a rumored devil did not include rescuing the captive beings of a twisted Menagerie in the mountainside manor. One of which cannot leave under his own power: an actual merman.Post-Canon AU where Wyll rescues a strange merfolk from captivity: Astarion.

Why Would You Be Loved by Succorance for noodlefrog

Summary
It had been easy to love Wyll when that abhorrent devil cursed him with horns. It was easy to love Wyll because, despite everything, he remained so beautifully, infuriatingly good. Despite her unrelenting attempts to turn him into a monster, the man was better than any angel.
Astarion didn’t have that same benefit.
He wasn’t good.
He never had been.
And now, he looked the part.

Or:
The first time Astarion awoke with fangs far too large for his mouth, he had Cazador.
This time, he has Wyll.

Summary
Wyll's got an admirer. Of the authorial variety it would seem. An erotic novel staring The Blade of Avernus himself is making the rounds in Baldur's Gate and beyond.
Wyll initially picks up the story out of morbid curiosity, but soon finds himself falling in love with both the tale, and the author.
But who could this Zephyr Tenson be? And where did he get such an accurate account of their adventure?

Summary
“Do you often rescue random strangers in the woods?” Astarion asks when he has the breath to. Wyll laughs, louder than he was expecting.
“Can’t say that I do! Actually I don’t get many visitors at all.” Wyll tells him. “Other than animals, that is.”
“Oh yes, plenty of those.” Astarion lets out a long puff of a breath. “The bear was most charming.”
“She’s normally a lot nicer.” Wyll gives him an apologetic look. “But she’s very protective of her cub these days. Even I can’t approach her unless I have an offering.”
“Ah. Birds and bears. Do you spend all your time speaking to animals?”
“I— well, they’re the only ones around.” Wyll explains sheepishly.
(Or a BG3-Sleeping Beauty fusion fic featuring Wyll as the lost, cursed prince of the Gate, and Astarion, who is not a knight in shining armor by any means but might be the ticket to saving him from his curse anyways.)

Summary
She hadn't meant to leave him behind, and there's a part of her that fears Astarion won't ever forgive her for it, but standing here, in the depths of Avernus beside the two people who need her most and surrounded by the precariously strewn corpses of Zariel's forces, it's very hard to say that Lav regrets it.
Even if he gives her thoughts no reprieve.
Even if every day threatens to be their last.
It would be nice to wrap everything up in a neat bow and return home as the heroes of Baldur's Gate, but there's still so much work left to do.Or: the epic highs and lows of abandoning your vampire boyfriend to go dodge crucifixion while searching for a good mechanic in hell with your besties.

Not Durge, just a regular Tav run.
Based on my Tav, a female human fighter named Lavender, and the terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad decision made in her epilogue pre-Patch 5.
