Summary
“I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”
“I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”
“The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”
“Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

The Vampire Ascendent has crossed a line. Eleven years after making the biggest mistake of her life and losing the man she loved, tiefling wizard (now Archmage) Rosalie decides it’s time to put this Astarion in the ground for good. Hopefully, both her head and her heart are strong enough to see this awful task through to its end.

Summary
In the eternity he has spent shackled to his master’s will, he has never been on a hunt quite like this.
At a grand Midwinter ball in the Szarr residence with all of high society and the brightest minds of Baldur's Gate and beyond in attendance, Astarion is tasked with the idea of finding a peerless scholar of infernal magic to cater to his master's unknown whim.
And if that scholar happens to reek of sunlight and blue skies that threaten to break through the eternal night in his mind... perhaps he can claim some echo of that for himself before her inevitable demise.
Or: Several years before the game, Astarion is tasked with finding a scholar on infernal magic to provide the last puzzle piece missing from Cazador's ritual.
By chance, he manages to find the wizard he's looking for at the Szarr palace's Midwinter ball: magical tutor to Wyll Ravengard, former partner of Gale of Waterdeep in matters academic and beyond, and the first person to actively resist his own extensive charms in more than a century.
As they strike a unique partnership, events around them begin to spiral out of control, particularly as Astarion realises he can use her for his own benefit rather than that of his master.

Summary
"You want to go down this road?" asked Shadowheart. "At least do it well. If you need a fake date who’s pretty, charming, and distracting for both yourself and others? Who won’t take it too seriously, but also won’t fuck it up by being embarrassed the entire time? You don’t ask me. You ask Astarion.”
--
A year after their adventuring party officially disbanded to enjoy their fame and immense wealth to the full, tiefling wizard Rosalie (reluctantly) asks Astarion for some help with a large, fake-date, ex-girlfriend sized problem.
