The light should have begun causing him discomfort, he knew. It should have begun making his eyes tear, making it difficult to see. The air should have rapidly grown hotter with every step, until it felt as though he stood next to a burning furnace. - Legacy of Ash - Chapter 2 - Legacy of Ash - Chapter 2 (AO3)

WIP Whenever

I'm late, I'm late, but here's a snippet from an upcoming Legacy of Ash chapter (to be posted today or tomorrow depending on your time zone):

“So, what’s the plan?” asked Halsin. All eyes turned to Astarion.   “…Well,” he cleared his throat. “First we find the mysterious Szarr bitch, then we kill the mysterious Szarr bitch. We find and save Oddie. And then I suppose we can find and destroy this artifact that’s causing a collapse between our plane and the Feywild and save the city, again, too, while we’re at it.” A chorus of groans, huffs and sighs followed, and then everyone seemed to want to talk at once. “It worked last time, didn’t it?!” Astarion exclaimed over them.

Dangerous but divine. | 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐀 𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐀. 𐙚 Marisela was never meant to live a quiet life. The daughter of a notorious mastermind wanted across Europe for planning and executing high-stakes bank heists, her name has always carried the weight of whispers. Her mother, a once-beautiful woman swallowed by addiction, spent more time with a bottle than with her own child. And so, Marisela grew up between locked doors and louder silences, learning early that trust was a fragile, dangerous thing. Despite the chaos of her upbringing, Marisela found solace in art. Brushstrokes became her language, canvases her confessions. She studied fine arts with a passion so intense it burned through her, and against all odds, she built an empire from it. Today, she owns one of the most prestigious contemporary art museums in Europe—hidden behind glass walls in the old city of Cádiz, Spain. But success hasn’t erased the shadows. Marisela keeps people at arm’s length. Her beauty is sharp, her words sharper. She’s direct, guarded, and impossible to read. Most assume she’s cold. Few realize it’s fear—fear of being known, of being left, of losing control. What none of them know is that Marisela carries a deeper secret still: through her aunt, she inherited the bloodline of a bruja. Magic flows quietly through her veins, ancient and waiting. In a city of salt and sea, Marisela walks alone—an heiress of crime, art, and something much darker.

(you must be 21+ to stay. I don’t open up easily—not to strangers, not to the light. If you’re here for soft stories and happy endings, you’re in the wrong place. I write for those who understand that beauty can be dangerous, that silence speaks, and that shadows sometimes tell the truth better than the sun ever could. If you crave mystery, if you’ve ever felt haunted by your past or drawn to the dark, then maybe—just maybe—you’ll understand me. But don’t get too close. I don’t trust easily, and I don’t stay open for long)

Well. The girl was mortal on arrival. Scraps of overheard conversations between the Szarrs indicated that she had been turned shortly after her arrival, though she was nowhere to be seen after the event. Other signs and whispers hinted that she was refusing to obey her elders - improbable, nay, impossible as it were… - Legacy of Ash - Chapter 9 - Legacy of Ash - Chapter 9 (AO3)

Series Masterlist

A magical storm descends over Baldur’s Gate. The city freezes and vampires roam freely in the daylight, while the raging tempest threatens to tear a rift between the material plane and the domain of a malevolent fey. Holding the key to the storm is the fey’s warlock - the late Cazador Szarr’s sister, Constancia Szarr. Her first order of business on arrival in Baldur’s Gate? Vengeance. “And the escaped spawn that returned to kill Cazador… The one you say has stayed in the city since,” Constancia interrogated her captive. “This ‘Astarion’. Where is he now?”

Pairing: Astarion x Original Female Character

Genre: Angst / Drama / Romance / Horror / Dark comedy if you squint

Rating: Explicit

Read on AO3

This is an alternative timeline for Astarion's story with my Tav Asmodea, set around a year after the conclusion of Badur’s Gate 3. You may have met them before in Bloodbang Chronicles or in my bardlock series generally, in which case hello and welcome back! But if you haven’t - not to worry, this is a separate storyline with no prior reading required. Hope you enjoy!
