Summary
Astarion has a mostly great day at the goblin camp, attends a bad party, and reads a book that he cannot possibly recommend to anyone.
The usual warnings for Astarion backstory apply here. This is a prequel to Oath of Devotion -- not necessary to read it to understand.

Summary
There's only one tent, and Astarion disapproves. Or that awkward moment where a for-the-meme fic takes a turn for the serious.
The usual Astarion background warnings apply here.
This work makes more sense in the series but can be read independently.

Summary
Astarion doesn't like the Underdark. Tav tries to help, with varying measures of success.
Usual Astarion background warnings apply. While this work can be read independently, it makes more sense in the series.

Summary
After sharing drinks and stories with Thisobald Thorm, an intoxicated Tav pulls a runner across Reithwin. Astarion gives chase. Good thing Raphael is there to clear things up (or not).
Usual Astarion background warnings apply. While this work can be read independently, it makes more sense in the series.

Summary
Astarion finds a good deal while shopping for Tav. Then, he finds out about a different deal entirely.
WARNING: Implied sexual assault and discussion of it. Also, for Astarion background in general
This particular oneshot in the series doesn't make much sense without the events of "Get Along Shirt" and "Chasing Translations."

Summary
She sends her soldier to a Nautiloid in Avernus to protect them. The soldier in question has no idea what's going on but is doing soldier's best.

This is Tav from the "A Guide to VERY HUMANOID for Dunces" series during the Nautiloid (part 1) and the first day (part 2). I've put it where it is in the series to avoid too many spoilers for the Astarion POV detective installments (all of the prior parts before "An Oath of Devotion").

Summary
While Dame Aylin, Shield of Selune, has been trapped in the Shadowfell, her Sword battles the hells. That is, until he is nabbed by a passing nautiloid, gets a tadpole in his brain, and ends up saving the world with a mismatched group of strangers, only to be plucked from one realm and immediately sent to another by the Moonmaiden herself. Now the unlikely companions of Selune's second-pick paladin must navigate the mystery of where in the nine hells is their friend Tav?

While this can be read independently, I recommend starting with the Astarion POV series pieces before it.
Huge thanks to silverkleptofox for the updated summary!

Summary
Tav is keeping the party journal to practice common. The companions check his work.
NOTE: Not necessary to read the rest of the series to enjoy the shenanigans.
Warning - Tav's journal entries are a disaster by intention. He will improve, but I understand if this is not for you :)

Summary
A VERY HUMANOID AU in which Tav confesses his mysteries to Astarion before they take on the Netherbrain.
This particular fic in the series makes very little sense without the Astarion POV pieces before it.
