Summary
Astarion collapsed face-first onto the bed next to her with a dramatic groan of pure suffering. He managed to land hard enough that she bounced, which was actually pretty impressive.
Serra set aside the sock she was darning and ran her fingers through his hair. He almost managed to not purr. “Your first longbow lesson was that fun, then?”
“Speaking as an expert, that so-called ‘ranger’ is a monster,” he announced, gravitas only slightly impaired by the fact that he was muffled by a very fluffy blanket. “I may never move my shoulders again.”
“That would be a tragedy. They're such nice shoulders.”
“Exactly. Utterly monstrous.”
Astarion tries something new. He learns more than he signed up for.
(Or, multiclassing as a heavy-handed metaphor for personal growth.)

Summary
Astarion glares at the Dekarios manor. It is, despite all of his irritation, quite the most beautiful building he has ever beheld. Its existence does go quite some way to explaining why Mr Dekarios had, before Astarion laid his reasoning quite so thoroughly at his feet, been so surprised to be refused.
What more could a man want from a marriage than a handsome partner, good fortune, and well-appointed estate?
Other than respect, of course.Yes this is a Pride and Prejudice plus magic fic, in which Gale is Darcy and Astarion is Elizabeth (to begin with). Beginning just after Astarion turns down Gale's proposal.

Summary
There is a ghost within the walls of the Szarr palace. Not one who was killed there, but one who was born there, created there, one who belongs to the palace as much as the palace does to his lordship, and will never be allowed to leave.
The hidden baby daughter of Cazador Szarr is pulled from her deceptively lavish captivity by the hesitant hand of a vampire spawn. Astarion comes to realize that one good thing has prospered within the palace, and Cazador wishes to hoard it for all eternity.
Cordelia is innocent, raised in a manufactured oblivion designed to keep her a child forever, and Astarion has seen every bit of her father's cruelty firsthand. He hates the tyrant blood in her veins, and she is too meek to look him in the eyes.

Summary
Astarion's just a vampire (phlebometist) trying to make ends meet after his shitty ex-husband (Cazador) took everything in the divorce, including his self-worth. His boss (Araj Oblodra) is a bitch who doesn't want to take no for an answer. When he looks in the mirror, all he sees is a washed-up husk of a man who used to have everything.
His work bestie (Karlach) is trying her best, along with her girlfriend (Shadowheart), but he seems determined to circle the drain. Until their regular donor (Wyll) shows up. Together, with a little help from their friends, they find a happily ever after. Or at least, for now.

Summary
“Fine,” she said. “Do you know the statistically most common way for the authorities to take out organized crime?”
Well, if that was her idea of enticing conversation, it was no wonder she had all those evenings free to chase after scoundrels like him. Still, Astarion didn’t want to antagonize her further and ruin the game, so he pursed his lips and guessed, “A very large, well-placed cannon?”
“Tax fraud.”
She looked at him as if she expected some sort of reaction – maybe a dramatic gasp? A palm flung to his forehead in a theatrical rendition of How could I not think of this?
Everything he could muster was a blink. “Tax … fraud.”
She nodded, obviously excited about what Astarion was sure were two of the most boring words in the English language, combined.
