Summary
"I hope you die screaming" were the last words Astarion said to his companions. He never imagined they'd come true.
Six months later, drowning in guilt and armed with a stolen Wish spell, he tries to bring them back. Instead, he wakes up at his own funeral in a world he doesn't recognise—modern, loud, and utterly impossible—where everyone he lost is alive, and the woman he loved and abandoned is calling him "partner."
Now he must learn to navigate a life that isn't his, a world whose technology baffles him, trauma that follows him across timelines, and a love he hasn't earned—all while deciding whether to fix the past or fight for a future he doesn't deserve.

"Strategic Realignment" (And Other Corporate Tragedies) by ARAFEL_0194, dramatic_chipmunk

Summary
In the cutthroat world of finance, Astarion Ancunín (VP, Thought Leader, Client Champion) knows three things: always skip the flavoured protein shakes, never trust a Patagonia vest with too many pockets, and his boss Cazador will always find new ways to make his life insufferable—including mandatory charity marathons and always choosing the cheapest corporate solution. When that option is to replace 7,000 employees with a software called Rhapsody, he finds himself on the wrong side of "strategic realignment."
OR
an anthology of the magical world of finance bros in the throes of doughs
stacks of Patagonia vests in high rise windows like frescoes,
laquered shoes on top of standing desks repose
while the green lines turn to red, nimbose. -
Standards, Darling. by dramatic_chipmunk, VakarianSyndrome

Summary
Astarion Ancunín has built his reputation on one simple rule: never become romantically involved with clients. As Baldur's Gate premier matchmaker, he's successfully paired hundreds of people while keeping his own heart carefully locked away.
Until Octavia Fallguard walks into his office—his brother's ex. A pole dancing instructor with impossibly high standards, a clever tongue, and zero tolerance for his usual charm. She knows exactly what she wants in a partner; and what she doesn't want is her ex's insufferably arrogant brother deciding her love life for her.
But when every date ends in disaster, and their professional relationship evolves into something far more personal, the lines between duty and desire become dangerously blurred.
Starring Chip as Octavia and Vak as Astarion in this summer's messiest romcom.

Summary
Dearest Readers,
This author hopes you have prepared yourselves for a dashing tale of forbidden love, double lives, and salacious scandals in a Bridgerton/Regency AU setting.
Following the sudden death of Lord Cazador Szarr, Lord Astarion Ancunín is the new Marquess of Mirabar. He returns at last to Baldur's Gate with siblings Dalyria and Petras after a mysterious 20-year absence, eager to establish himself as the new Marquess and find a husband for Dalyria.
But what of a love match for the Marquess himself? Somewhere between his efforts to evade the ambitious Mamas shoving doll-like daughters before him and his struggles to escape the shadow of his father's tyrannical legacy, Lord Ancunín finds himself falling for the so-called "Lucky Bastard of Daggerford," one Sasha Amastacia. Witnesses say their connection was instant, their chemistry undeniable, and their love forbidden.
Bound by society's expecations to marry the opposite sex to further his bloodline, a public relationship with another male would ignite a scandal most foul. But after decades of isolation and abuse, Astarion is willing to fight for his happily ever after. The only question, dear readers, is what will it cost them?

Summary
I lean backwards and drape myself over the battered wood of the piano, letting the lamplight catch on my skin and the sweat running down my cleavage. Our eyes lock. His are redder than blood; red as sex; red as the ache now blooming spiky-sweet-cruel inside me. The ache that says:
Yes. There you are. Let’s destroy each other.
a messy one-night stand in the spaces of episode 7 of the animated series. canon compliant; exploring the space before molly joins up with the others. borrows characterisation from various sources, but the only thing it spoils is episode 3 of the animated series. fully written—i will publish a chapter every day for nine days.
