Summary
Wyll's father does not exile him from the city. He instead sends him underground, protected by Ansur's magic, to be hidden away. Trapped within the labyrinthine Undercity, Wyll searches for purpose.
He finds it in a stone crypt laid beside a vampire lord's coffin, if only he can get them free.

Summary
Somewhere below him, a stranger named Wyll is living in the same house. Astarion had fled as far as he could and instead of quiet safety, there is someone else, and they aren't leaving.
It doesn't matter. He's here to stay.
Astarion hasn't made it this far to just give up.
Or: an old house on the point between two worlds.

Summary
Levi looks up from the letters, unimpressed. “I think this is shit.”
“That’s a rather harsh assessment,” Erwin says, annoyed by the defensiveness he can hear in his voice. “Perhaps you’d care to expand on your criticism?”
“I want to drown in the perfume of your hair…the touch of your hand makes my blood sing…” Levi reads aloud, his tone flat and damning in its apathy. He tosses the papers down onto the table. “You said you wanted to manufacture a huge public scandal. You used the word titillating. No one’s getting wet reading that shit, Erwin. I’ve read supply request forms that were more morally offensive. If you use this garbage, your little farce is dead on arrival.”
“You write it, then,” Erwin challenges. “If you think you can do it better.”
Levi crosses his arms over his chest, eyes narrowing. “I think I could do alright.”
OR:
Erwin enlists his former criminal comrade to forge fake love letters for a political subterfuge campaign. Levi gives him a crisis of conscience about their own relationship instead.Bookmarked by readerhell

Summary
“I, for one, have never asked money from an hitchhiker, especially when I was the one to offer the favor. It’s just about doing something nice, right?”
This time, he caught the exact word that made the corner of Astarion’s mouth twitch—“favor”.
“Though,” Wyll adds, “I won’t say no if you insist on splitting the cost on gas, rest assured.”Wyll has to reach the next town in two days and Mizora will not consider a total shutdown of the local railroad system a valid reason to change the program. So, Wyll prepares to do three things: drive there instead with his affectionally nicknamed Old Lady, not think about it, thank you, and also do his best to help along the way. As usual.
Astarion… well, Wyll would like to know, actually! He knows that the man's travel plans got shafted, same as his, and that's truly the extent of it. Call it professional curiosity, perhaps; after all, Wyll is a journalist.
As for most stories that he covers—there is, of course, more to this one too.

And They Were Cultists by jellyfishline for fantailsock

Summary
Astarion has found a new lease on life, all thanks to the benevolence of the Absolute. No, living in a tower filled with cultists and having to deal with superior officers who think they can order him around is not exactly his idea of paradise, but anything is heaven compared to life under Cazador. He even gets his own room all to himself.
At least, until one Wyll Ravengard, newest member of the Absolute's ranks, is assigned to his room.
(In which Astarion and Wyll are swept up by the cult before the intervention of a certain magical artifact.)

Summary
After seven years of being unable to communicate at all, Wyll has a voice again. He's ecstatic and overwhelmed in equal measures, and he delights in being able to finally talk to people.
But his friends seem to think the person who saved him, Astarion, might make a devil's deal of his own, by sacrificing his siblings to the Hells for power.
Of course Astarion isn't going to do that. There's no way he would.

Summary
Eight year old Wyll Ravengard has everything he could ever want—save a friend. And then he meets a saddened but sweet elven boy in the park, and gains far, far more than he bargained for.
~*~
Wyll now sees a scratchy tangle of rope, ebony black with nine tails of knotted smaller ropes descending from a central coil. A cat o' nine tails, his mind helpfully supplies as his stomach drops.
"Father," he whispers, feeling all of a sudden lightheaded with fright. "Please..."

Summary
Astarion did not have much in him to appreciate Cazador’s death when it happened.
For one thing, reality had dissolved a while back, and the day Cazador died, it had only dissolved further. Those tadpole-infected weirdos showed up again. Astarion had been chased out of camp after, well, the blood drinking gone wrong incident. And from there, it had been a short trip to getting caught by that Gur. From there, to death. And from death, back to Cazador.
Except, Cazador was now dead.
A zombified Astarion survives and is re-recruited by the party.

Summary
According to her, one of these should appeal to him above all others. It should call to him so clearly that its owner was sure to be compatible with him on a biological level — compatible enough that simply existing near them could begin to purge the rot still pulsing into his body from the wellspring in his carotid artery. Passive recovery, they called it.
Astarion has been mated to a monster for 20 years, a nightmare with no way out. When he finds himself faced with the prospect of freedom, the possibility is overwhelming. How could he get by on his own when just getting through the day is a battle? Fortunately, there's a lifeline, a voluntary program that matches people who have suffered a great trauma with a volunteer whom they are scent-compatible with. By simply sharing a home with this person, healing comes faster than it ever could alone. Astarion is paired with Wyll Ravengard, a young man who has done more for the program than almost anyone else.
It's a simple arrangement - move in, get better, and move on without giving a new alpha any chance to harm him. After all they've suffered, who would expect feelings to complicate matters?

Summary
“I wish I could trust you to not break your promises, Astarion,” the devil said. “You know I don’t want to see you hurt.”
The cold fear in his blood dropped in temperature another hundred degrees to something that could have frozen magma. The devil knew his name.
The devil thought they had a bargain.
Astarion didn’t remember.

Summary
Wyll and Astarion, for their own reasons, have fallen into a sexual relationship with each other that neither of them actually enjoy, but both refuse to communicate this. Thankfully a near death experience, some unusual side effects from an antidote, and the power of being infested with mindflayer tadpoles is just the thing to get these two to actually communicate what they would like to have happen.

Summary
In which two years before the events of the game, Wyll is hunting a devil, but he finds marks that a vampire passed through a village. It's only a short detour from his journey, so he might as well look into this, in case the vampire is a threat.
And what he finds is the world's tiniest bat instead.
