If an opportunity arises for me to become a more magnificent bastard than I already am, why turn it down? | banner by @sniickerdoodles | Amy | she/her | 26 | 18+ only | MusicKeeper on Ao3
Hi, y'all, I'm Amy, I write fic, and I'm enamored with the stupid elf from BG3. I'm also obsessed with OCs, both my own and others'. It's kind of a problem.
I post my fics on Ao3. They are locked, so if you don't have an Ao3 account but you like the snippets on my blog, just send me a quick DM and I'll see about getting you a PDF. I might be trying to protect my fics from getting scraped, but that doesn't mean I'm a gatekeeper.
Astarion x Diana
In which Astarion is paired up with my Selûnite cleric, Diana Kismet:

Diana has been burned by being too earnest with Astarion before. Despite how far he’s come, how far they’ve come together, she is afraid to be burned again.
Using Astarion's name could mean anything. Letting anything more specific slip could destroy everything.
But now he's asked for the specific, and she doesn't know that she can give him what he's asking for.
say yes, but only if you want to

“Let me do this for you, Astarion, please.”
The first time Diana offers, Astarion says no. The offer remains if he wants it, but it takes some time before he's able to say yes.
you love me like i'm solid when i'm but a silhouette

Diana had really been hoping to save the contents of that parcel for another night. Like a night when she'd have some time to prepare before she'd show Astarion. When she could put on a little extra makeup and figure out how best to arrange herself on the bed and maybe indulge in a little liquid courage first.
But she just doesn't have the heart to deny him when he asks for something so easy to give.
Astarion x Others' OCs
In which Astarion is paired up with OCs belonging to friends of mine:
what's one more mystery after all the rest?

The battle's won and the celebration at the Elfsong is in full swing, but no one knows what that creaking noise upstairs could possibly be. Ori investigates.

Hircine has survived one year of Astarion and Astarion has survived one year of Hircine. That’s definitely cause for celebration.

Other BG3 Goodies
In which I write about something BG3 that isn't Astarion getting paired up with someone:

Long before the Wizard of Waterdeep, the Blade of Frontiers, and the Pale Elf held any of these heroic monikers, they were children named Gale, Wyll, and Astarion.
And magical things happen to children in the wintertime.
Everything is ready to start publishing! And I'm excited and nervous at the same time.
That said, for those who might still have interest in this I decided to publish two chapters per week (Mondays and Fridays), starting from the 23th of March onwards.
So! Next Monday is the day! 🖤
Thank you to all of you who have followed my journey along these long months. I appreciate each and everyone of you! Your support has given me fuel to keep going and now it's time to start sharing!
Popping in real quick to say that I just realized that the arc currently happening in my life right now is almost an exact mirror image of one I had planned for Diana and her longfic.
Which is to say a couple things. First: Diana's an idiot. I'm an idiot. We're a pair of fucking morons. And second: geez, if my life is going to reflect my damn fanfiction, I really hope my arc culminates in the happy ending I was planning on giving her, because wow, living this arc IRL sucks like you wouldn't believe.
I regret to inform you that due to certain circumstances, I will be stepping away from the BG3 communities on Tumblr, Ao3, and Bluesky for the time being. I will still be available on Discord to chat with, and I promise no one in the community is driving me off. I've encountered some IRL issues, we'll put it that way.
I really hope to be reading, commenting, and writing again soon.
I need to reiterate again how very grateful I am to everyone who has continued to tag me in prompt games and WIP games. I know I'm slow. I know I'm not as active as I once was. But I am doing my doggone best to keep engaging and creating as often as I possibly can, and it really helps to know that y'all are still interested in what I'm working on. So thank you, and thank you especially to @tynithia, @vividiana, @astarioffsimpmain, @hellethil, @alliskit, @larvatuss, @gilded-glitter, @vixstarria, and @mellybaggins, who have all tagged me for a WIP over the past month.
Also, y'all may notice I jumped on the Ellipsus bandwagon, so that's been interesting!
Tagging @littlehouseofimagination, @busy-baker, @saucy-scribbler, @spacesunderstairs, and @goodgirlgonebard on the off chance any of y'all have something you'd like to share!
Thank y'all again. I appreciate very comment, every tag, basically any and every form of engagement y'all give me. Hugs to all!
I really loved how this turned out. I tried to stylize Astarion (which was scary) and I think it turned out pretty good! I’m always trying to elevate my illustrative comic style, and I am feeling satisfied with how this turned out.
