Summary
It takes a few more loops to learn the right way to go about things. But death is a swift teacher, and oh, darling, do you learn. You memorize speeches, you memorize character quirks. You school your expressions. You modulate your voice. Eventually you play the companions well enough that they vote you leader as soon as they pitch the next campsite. But it’s not enough. Sometimes, staring up at the roof of your tent, you find yourself wondering how much of you is left when you die.
Are you really just meat? Or is it that you’re something else?

Summary
This started a little bit as a joke, but now the dark urge is living in Stardew valley and that probably won't go well. This is not a cute or fluffy fic, please be warned!
"Sometimes there is a painful urge inside you when you stare at your new friends, at their bright laughter and brighter smiles. An urge to tear them open, peel their skin from their bones, see what makes them tick. See if their blood smells as sweet as their sweat. You swallow this down because you do not know where it comes from, this brutality. And it worries you. Concerns you. This life is so peaceful. These people are so nice."

Summary
“And you know what? You are right about one thing. I don’t look back on our days together. I don’t think of you when I have my lovely consort with me. You want to know about her? I’ll tell you about her. She’s nothing like you. She doesn’t sing those insufferable songs of yours all day. She doesn’t smell of mud and cheap taverns. She doesn’t make silly jokes and puns when I’m trying to have a serious conversation with the nobles. She is beautiful, elegant and supportive, the embodiment of all the good qualities of a Vampire Ascendant’s right hand. She’ll spend an eternity by my side and never once remind me of you.”
---------------------------------------------
Astarion ascended and wanted to turn you into his bride. You refused and left him.
Fifty years later, you find yourself back in Baldur's Gate once again and decide to go to a soiree held by Lord and Lady Ancunín.Bookmarked by Trystamine

Summary
Smug. Tall. And, unfortunately, immaculately beautiful in his strange, alien way. Good at acrobatics too, otherwise the ringmaster wouldn't be so forgiving over his wickedly temperamental diva behavior. Nothing is good enough for the star of the show, and since you're the only one with the balls to stand up to him, everyone (everyone!!!!!!!) comes to you when he causes problems. Which is often.
