    Summary

    When the Netherbrain fell and the Absolute was defeated, Astarion lost any chance he had at a peaceful life.

    To avoid having to look after 7000 spawn alongside his once siblings, he turned his hand to mercenary work. Murder, stealing blackmail evidence, anything that nets him enough coin to survive.

    But when those jobs dry up, and he has plenty of money to live off of for a while, he entertains himself with purloining jewels from establishments that are far less deserving than himself of owning the precious gemstones.

    Which is why he's currently dressed to the nines, invitation to a museums benefit in hand. He plans to use the event as a distraction so he can steal the star attraction of an upcoming exhibition.

    The Crestalian Ruby, the most gorgeous necklace Astarion has ever seen. And the only place it belongs is upon the only person who could possibly rival its beauty. Himself.

    Until a familiar face appears, and his plans for the night get a bit more complicated than he planned for.

    Summary

    Well,” Astarion laughed, falling to his haunches so that his face was level with Gale’s, “no wonder she asked you to explode yourself. You must be absolutely pent up with sexual frustration that you’re fit to burst at any second.”

    ——————

    The orb had forced him into a life of restraint. For so long he had forsaken the pleasures of the flesh in order to protect the world from th blight within him.

    But now it’s gone. And he finds himself on a ship to Waterdeep with Astarion with nowhere to hide his feelings. And when it comes to the vampire, those feelings have been pent up for a while.

    Summary

    He can’t ask Gale for help. Gale might have the best chance of finding any sort of cure to his current undesirable condition, but he doesn’t want to turn to him. Something about being vulnerable and in need in front of Gale grates at Astarion’s mind.

    He isn’t accustomed to anyone standing up for him like this, not without wanting something in return. And the thought that he could, just for once, lean into that—lean on him—sits uncomfortably close to tempting.

    Summary

    Astarion was replanting weeds at midnight. His fiancé was sucking up to a childhood bully. The engagement party was in four days. Nothing was wrong. ...Except for the things that were. Starting with why he's more devastated by a pile of uprooted garden weeds than he ever was about killing people.

    Or: Two idiots in love navigate polite society, academic bureaucracy, and their own insecurities to figure out what kind of life they actually want together.

    Written for the BG3 Month of May Community Event Bring May Flowers 2026: Week 1 – In Bloom. “Weeds” keyword.
    This is a sequel to Blind Spots but can be read as a standalone. Plausibly post-canon compliant, with some made-up magic and bending of 5e spellcasting rules.
