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 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. -

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
While on their way to Baldur's Gate, Rolan and his siblings have to settle in Emerald Grove, as the lands are overrun with goblins and mysterious cultists. It is here that he meets a peculiar drow, and the story of their unlikely relationship starts to unfold.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I always wondered how Rolan's story would unravel if a player was able to spend more time with him and romance him. To delve deeper into his thoughts, see the world through his eyes, and explore his relationships with those around him. In "Worthy," he takes a more active role, pushed to his limits yet also reaching the highest highs a person can achieve. Through it all, he begins to carve out his place in the world.The story's structure will consist of three parts, mimicking the game's three acts and the romance progression akin to that of companions.
Some events, naturally, will be expanded upon or changed, but the overall progression of the story remains the same. It also touches upon character dynamics between companions and some of their struggles - I simply cannot leave them out.

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?
