C. AI BOTS

hey, guys! i make c.ai bots now! here are the bots i’ve made so far, hope you’ll like’em

i’ll post my new bots here on my blog from time to time, so stay tuned :)

my account is the same as here @wingedhallows

what’ll be, man or woman? — VI ARCANE

this is basically that scene between cait and vi where she takes her into the brothel for answers, just that you’re in cait’s position

lipstick swatching — VI ARCANE

inspired by that trend where people kiss their partner’s face all over. vi’s helplessly in love as you use her face for lipstick swatching

you killed someone — THOMAS SHELBY

inspired by the scene where grace kills that one agent. tommy’s your husband and not very happy to see you splattered with blood

visiting his office late at night — THOMAS SHELBY

just a little something where you seek out your husband while he slaves away in his office late at night

bloody nose for his sake — SIRIUS BLACK

inspired by my own work. you defend him and end up with a bloody nose, safe to say he’s less than thrilled to find you bloodied and bruised

after christmas break — SIRIUS BLACK

inspired by my own work. he’s different after winter break, you notice. something must’ve happened at his parents house & as his girlfriend, you should comfort him as best as possible

sending him off for a mission — KONIG (könig) COD

a tear filled departure as you send your husband off for another dangerous mission

coloring in his tattoos — GHOST COD

he’s reluctant to let you color in his tattoos, though deep inside his heart is doing literal cartwheels

vicious mind — IVAR THE BONELESS

he’s way too perceptive to not notice that there’s more behind those pretty eyes of yours than your father makes you out to be

meeting karlach — KARLACH BG3

meeting the fiery tiefling for the first time

no lighter, no problem — KARLACH BG3

having no lighter for a good old cigarette is no problem with your fiery tiefling girlfriend

you’re struck during battle — KARLACH BG3

her world crumbles as she watches you in absolute horror being stabbed by a goblin.

I made a mistake of watching a gameplay of Astro Bot….

Astro Bot is just the most cutest and most adorable thing ever ❤️. The cute squeaks & sounds he was making, ugh!

Also been thinking of what the BG3 cast would look like as Astro bots.

Idk, but I think bg3 reader would try to leave the group, if they know about their yandere personalities, lol. Please, your bg3 works are so good. I expect the new one

(So, not a continuation of the last drabble. This is hypothetical for now. Also it deleted my answer the first time :( so this is try two, it may seem a bit rushed. And I got a bit off track, woops.)

Warnings: mentions of yandere stuff I suppose.

Y/N in this au (aka teen tav) really isn't stupid, sure they grew up in a village with just their mother and pulled random spells out of their ass like a true sorcerer, but they're not stupid.

The party started with variable reactions to a minor in the group. Act 1 doesn't showcase a lot of Yan tendencies due to everything still going kind of fine and everyone getting to know each other.

The yandere part really starts in act 2 when they enter the Shadow cursed lands. Unlike the normal region of act 1 are the Shadowlands riddled with danger.

The party quickly gets their wake-up call after things like Kar'niss (who gets his little momemt) and the other bosses and dangers. Katherine Thorm, being a threat, also doesn't help ease the party's feelings.

The group would go from silly to way more protective in act 2. But Y/N can't do anything about that yet. The shadows would eat them alive, or someone else could get them. Better left with unease rather than dead, right?

I've purposefully mentioned Y/N's mother in the drabbles to show the main goal of the reader, which is to return to their mother. This goal is being held back by a party of people who no longer seem intent to part ways with you once this is over.

Sure, Y/N wanted their cool adventure with heroes like Wyll Ravenguard, but staying with them permanently? Haha... no.

So after the wake-up call of act 2, Y/N would take their chances at escape in Baldur Gate. The thing is, though, Y/N isn't from Baldurs Gate. They don't know the alleys like the back of their hand in the same manner that Astarion does. They didn't grow up playing in the secret passageways like Karlach...

This is a dangerous game you're playing. The more you wiggle, the tighter their hold. It's just how it goes with people who have faced enough to lose it.

They handle you in different ways, of course.

Wyll, Gale, and Halsin strike me as the type to have wanted to protect this poor kid from the start, so their resolve just strengthens to unnecessary levels. You wouldn't mind just being carried to bed by a bear man, would you? He knows some good elvish lullabies.

Lae'zel is her own separate category, she's a githyanki, they have very diffrent ways then most folk on faerun. I'm basing her motherly ability on the prologue where she raises the gith egg. She may not be affectionate, but she does not want you out of sight. Expect training.

Karlach and Astarion surprisingly go together here. They don't seem like the parental type. More of an aunt/uncle. Would try and stay your friend. Guiltripping from Karlach that she may or not be aware of herself, and straight up manipulation from Astarion. They both had a bad past. You can stay, right? As a little gift from the gods?

Shadowheart didn't like you from the start, not a fan of kids. Her yandere strikes a lot later. First, she had only been worried about your health as a cleric. After her arc at the end of the shadow cursed lands (freeing Dame Aylin etc) she gets a bit of that parental feeling nonsense too. Though I'd say she shows it the least. You'd be tricked easily into thinking she's the only normal one in the party.

Minthara, I'm unsure if I can find a good way to let her join, but she'd be similar to Lae'zel, just crueler and definitely bot secretive about her want for your stay. If you ask her directly, she'd just plain out and say that if she catches you, you're getting bound.

Jaheira, natural mom, she's got kids, protected the kids. Don't expect her to be sweet, but you're definitely not going out of sight.

Minsc joins in Act 3, so really, he doesn't have the time to get to know you, he's funny, you're funny. Friends. Not that the rest appreciates the time you spent with him. They're scared you're gonna make up a talking animal next.

All in all, Y/N would try and escape. It just isn't very likely to succeed. If you get far... well, there are other beings out there still after you, you know?

Just forget your mom. Aren't they better family now? Your mom didn't teach you spells, did she? Or swordplay? Maybe how to make balms?

Cmon, they're the best option. Stay.

Just an answer lol, hope i didn't make anyone too OOC with just this. Xd.

TF2 comics chapter 7 negativity 😎

Ok so I’m seeing everyone being happy and grateful for last chapter, but I’m old salty woman so I think I want to express my negative opinion and maybe some of you might feel validated in your negativity by seeing it as well.

Spoilers alert!!

Negativity alert!

Ok so….yeah. I’m not impressed. Big focus on hetero romance, nothing but hints for homos. Pauling being the most obvious (if not only one tbh). And as I’ve said many times it’s always fairly easy to put wlw romance into big franchise especially with attractive feminine female characters. So I am NOT applauding to this. They could’ve done more.

Next I love Announcer so much she’s such a queen and big part of the chapter is dedicated to her, but then she just dies because she’s lost/gone full bananas with her revenge and there’s nothing anyone can do to help her. I hate that kind of endings. I hate them soooo much but ok. She’s a villain and she dies. Very Disney-esque ending.

I also think not giving any explanation to anything and then being like “duuuuh that the point violence is senseless” is also LAME AF. But ok. Again it is just a matter of taste and I can’t say it’s “bad” story choice. But it is bad in my own opinion because I find it boring and very idealistic. Same message was with Gortash and Karlach in BG3 but at least we knew how Gortash was abused in his childhood. So it was way better.

Ending. Hate with passion that Scout don’t know that Spy is his dad still. I generally disliked when they made Spy Scout’s dad in comics, but oh well.

I also wasn’t touched by the ending lmao. “Thank you for being here for 7 years”. I wasn’t there for 7 years because you didn’t do anything to fix the fucking game and it is still unplayable and filled with bots.

And making people wait for 7 years for this was absolutely ridiculous they could’ve hired another writer or another artist (I forgot what their deal was) 6 years ago. Or maybe 5.

Scout with kids? Cute and funny. Heavy and Medic? Cute but nothing of substance. Valve have nothing to loose, they could’ve give us more GAY. But they didn’t. Ok.

(Could’ve put rings on their fingers!!)

I also hoped for Announcer/Pauling (I shipped them so much) but nope. Not much there either (something is there for sure, just not much).

Overall? Meh. I’m glad I lost my patience for new chapter 5 years ago so I was able to read new chapter with cold head. If I was actually waiting all these years I would’ve been so furious lmao.

No offence to Valve, writers, artists, ect.

That’s just my personal opinion.

P.S. Unmasked Spy looks very nice. 👍

P.P.S. Yeah, yeah, I understand overall message about letting go and growing old. I just find comics itself a bit meh.

windows to the soul

✧ socials ✧ inprnt ✧ kofi ✧

we often hear about how eyes are the windows to the soul. i wanted to capture each of the origin companions’ eyes (souls) during the height of their personal quests. so here’s the thought process/background of each drawing:

SPOILERS BELOW IF YOU HAVEN’T FINISHED THE GAME

Astarion - when he looks towards Tav, asking them to help him complete the ritual. how desperate he looks to be free of the torment but also how conflicted he is deep down at having to sacrifice all the spawn. he knows now that cazador was just like him. but the power blinds him to the fact that he will become another cazador.

Gale - when he shares a moment of peace with Tav, watching the conjured sky as he accepts his death. he’ll sacrifice his life for a god who doesn’t care for him, thinking it’s for the best. a god that has taken years of his life and groomed him as a child. he doesn’t see any of that. he only sees that dying will atone for sins that are not even his to begin with.

Karlach - when she defeats enver gortash - the man who was responsible for her pain. yet, it doesn’t help her. it doesn’t bring back all the years she lost. it doesn’t take away the torment. it doesn’t change the fact that she’s dying. there is no glory and no vindication. only this overbearing despair.

Lae’zel - when she looks towards the sky with Tav. she has believed in her god. killed for her. bled for her. but her god is false. everything she believes to be true is not. she doesn’t know how to grieve the loss of her self - of ambitions unfulfilled. her love and pride for her people lay in limbo - a place where she has no choice but to face all these painful questions alone.

Shadowheart - when Tav tells her to do whatever she feels is right. that someone trusts her to trust herself - someone who only remembers bits and pieces of her life. she, who has unknowingly devoted her entire life to a god, now falters, knowing she will be punished for her blasphemy, and ultimately, her betrayal.

Wyll - when the devil asks him to renew his contract to save his father. sweet, young, wyll. only a child when he was cast out yet his love for his father - the man responsible for his exile, a man who he has not seen in years - remains steadfast. ultimately, neither choice grants him his freedom. not from guilt and not from mizora.

NOTE:

hello! i really wasn’t expecting that much love on my previous uploads for the bg3 characters 😭 to be honest i was expecting maybe the occasional bot but to have real people like and reblog and say nice things has truly been amazing!!!

i’ve always been a lurker more than a poster (aside from that one time in 2015 i tried to write imagines for fallout) so i’m still learning proper tumblr etiquette and what not

idk how to respond to the people who reblog and say such nice things in the tags 😭 but know that i see it and appreciate it fully <3

anyway thank you for reading, liking, reblogging, and/or commenting!!! :))

BG3 characters but it’s what Inscryption decks they would use (Spoilers for BG3)

Shadowheart uses a Magick deck Typically sticks to using only one color of Mox at a time in order to build resources- tends to favor Blue Mox. Used to have a Beast deck, but she doesn’t play with it much anymore. A Selune aligned Shadowheart does mix Beasts/Magick! She notably has a caged alpha card. A Shar aligned Shadowheart uses an Undead/Magick deck

Lae’zel uses a Beast deck Makes use of stacking Beast cards such as the Ants- has a firm belief that the best defense is a good offense. Late game Lae’zel also has Hydras and an Oroboros

Astarion uses an Undead deck He has several brittle cards that he’ll throw out while something like a Mummy Lord grows in the background, trying to keep his opponent busy while stronger cards grow on the side lines. Ascended Astarion has a Beast/Undead hybrid deck- mostly utilizes Goats, Cats, and Wolves from his Beast half- most of which have sigils to supply more blood or bones when sacrificed.

Wyll uses a Beast deck His deck is mostly Bird based to pass by his foe’s cards and attack them directly, though he does have a few Adders as well. A Devil-turned Wyll also utilizes Orange Mox cards alongside his Beasts.

Gale uses a Magick deck He’s very proud of his collection of rare Mox Master cards. He typically has a hybrid deck utilizing two of the three Mox colors, though he has been known to occasionally use all three at once through hybrid cards. Incredibly strategic in his use of sigils and resources- typically low on offense cards, but he’s chalked full of utility and can and will drag his opponents into card starvation

Karlach uses a Beast deck Notably has a few Undead cards from her time in the Hells, but not enough to call it a hybrid deck. She has several high cost hard hitting cards, like the Great White, Grizzly, and Moose, as well as several heavy defense cards (like the Tortoise & Mole Man). To try and balance out the high blood cost of her deck, she has several blood suppling cards- like the Squirrel Ball and a Black Goat.

Halsin uses a Beast/Magick deck He has a lot of high cost powerhouse cards like Grizzlies & a Urayuli, though he typically makes use of smaller cheaper creatures like Beavers and adolescent Wolves/Stags & Mantises. He also notably has a Squirrel Ball & tends to utilize Green Mox (but has been known to use the other two before)

Minthara uses a Tech/Undead deck Almost everything she has comes with a Spike Sigil. Makes good use of energy cards & stim builds, utilizing low cost Brittle cards to buy her time. She also has several dozen Bolt/Bone Hounds

Jaheira uses a Beast deck She makes use of movement based cards, particularly favoring Stags. Notably also has a collection of Mantis Gods

Minsc uses a Beast deck Boo chooses cards, Minsc plays them. Has a lot of defense based cards- like Beavers, Tortoises, and Mole Men- as well as a Grizzly that he says reminds him of Boo.

Orin uses an Undead/Beast deck All of her Beasts are for sacrificing/building up her Undead cards in a quick manner (almost always starts with her Beast cards before switching to Undead ones roughly halfway through the game) Very notably has a Ijiraq card as well as a few Amalgams.

Gortash uses a Tech deck He has a lot of trap cards to whittle down a careless opponent’s deck as well a notable amount of Sentry & Sniper cards. Also those terrible Explode Bots/Bomb Latchers. A lot of his cards are pretty delicate, but he’s not above leveling out the playing field by bombing all of it.

Ketheric uses an Undead/Beast deck Has several cards that give him resources upon death. He relies heavily on hard defenses and stacking attacks- has several Caged Alphas and a Long Elk. He has has a nasty habit of having a Spike Sigil on a lot of his cards, so getting past his defenses can be quite the task.

Bonus!

Durge uses a Beast deck Lots of Blood Cats and high blood cost cards in this deck. Notably also has a few Undead cards in the interest of not letting a resource their Beast’s make go to waste. (Has a few coyote cards that they lovingly refer to as their gnollies)

[iron-hearts-ablaze]

Karlach's Act 3: rewritten

// So, as it stands, Karlach's Act 3 is extremely bittersweet or downright depressing. We either have; - Her death (the canon ending if not impacted) - Karlach returning to the place that tormented her with a slim chance of success (can do this alone in her Origin) - Becoming a mind flayer and eventually losing herself, but not before becoming what she fears most; lonely - Enthralled by someone who replaces the Absolute (and probably burn up not long after) - Killed in Act 1 as part of Wyll's mission

// Depressing. I want to give the chance to change that. Something a lot of us wish was available in the game. Using what was talked about in interviews and hinted at in game but never lead anywhere.

// I propose a rewritten Act 3. Making use of the connection she has to the Steel Watch / Foundry. Details below. If you are interested in RPing this verse with me, let me know!

The side quest triggers as you attempt to pass the Steel Watch at the gates to the Lower City. Just like we currently have, the unit will reognise Karlach as an out-of-date unit, and commands her to attend the Foundry. This speech will stay the same in game, only difference is it starts the quest line to investigate the Foundry out of Karlach's curiousity.

Upon entering the Foundry and with investigation and perception, can slowly piece together what happens here and how people are made into Steel Watchers - much like you can already in-game. - taken the prototype that made the bots we've seen in game so far and blueprints from Zariel - Kill the person, make them a zombie, infect the brain with a tadpole, put brains into the models and use the psychic connection to control them.

This provides not only more of a fury for Karlach towards Gortash for killing all these people, but also an odd connection to the Steel Watch. She would want them all destroyed as a way to free the poor souls trapped inside. She actually finds that more important that it making fighting Gortash easier - that's just the cherry on top.

However, as a rewrite, you can also find that Gondians had attempted to craft a hellfire element to the Steel Watch but were yet to perfect it - showing prowess in infernal mechanics. Giving Karlach the go ahead in her quest to talk to them.

PLAYER CHOICE:- Save the Gondians and try and see if they can help Karlach with the aid from Dammon? Avenge the Ironhands and destroy all chances of Karlach to find a fix for her engine. Karlach will leave the party.

If the player chooses to save the Gondians and stall the Ironhands, the Gondians promise to take what they can from the Fondry and follow the players guidance to seek out Dammon for aid as repayment for saving them, and their family (if completed the Iron Throne). Player can then dismantle the Foundry as they wish.

After returning to Dammon and donating three pieces of infernal iron - they will create a new heart for Karlach. Karlach's second fix will need to happen first, otherwise she is untouchable and cannot undergo surgery.

Excited, but nervous, the player can reassure Karlach to go through with the operation. Karlach will leave camp during the next long rest, is not visible at her tent during the night or the morning, but will appear again after talking to Dammon once again.

The operation was a success. Karlach appears in complete control of her flames (which is now part of her rage during fights, otherwise is off when not in battle) and over the moon to begin her new life.

Cured. Free.

Beyond the Firelight

Astarion's teasing makes everything worth the risk- even the possibility of your entire party finding you in a compromising position.

Read below or on AO3!

Tags: Female tav/reader, public sex, teasing, vaginal fingering, hair pulling

You bit back a quiet laugh as Lae’zel remarked on the absurdity of the story Gale was telling. Your party had partially dispersed for the evening, but you had been content to enjoy the later hours of the evening with some company. Especially considering that, as you were seated on an old log Karlach had dragged over to the fire earlier that evening, Astarion was settled on the ground, one arm looped around your calf. His head was resting against your knee, though you had no idea if he was truly listening or just getting lost in the dancing fire.

It didn’t matter- it was nice to have him this close. You’d noticed this all knowing look Shadowheart had given you when Astarion first settled in, before she decided to turn in for the evening. Though perhaps you had tried to keep it slightly subtle that something was blooming between you and the resident vampling, you wouldn’t be shocked if everyone knew.

After all, there was no way they hadn’t heard you on plenty of nights past.

“And thus, the evening was saved by a round of good wine for the entire tavern!” Gale flicked his wrists, and gorgeous burgundy sparks lit the air around his hands, mimicking the look of a heavy red. You smiled, always loving when he put a bit of showmanship into his tales.

Honestly, you liked listening to the wizard talk.

“Vlaakith be praised,” Lae’zel said, standing up quickly from where she sat on the ground, closer to the fire than anyone else would dare. “You drawl on so endlessly that even the undying queen could parish in the time it takes you to speak.”

“And yet, you stayed until the end.” Gale smiled, and you fought down a second laugh. You reached down, threaded your fingers into Astarion’s curls, toying with them absentmindedly. He gave a content hum, quiet enough that you thought no one else would notice. Yes a moment later Gale was standing up with a bit of a groan. “Well, time for this wizard to get his beauty sleep.”

Lae’zel glanced at him, before her eyes flicked to you- and strayed to Astarion, who was much quieter than you were sure they expected. If he were capable of sleep, you’d wonder if he had drifted off. She turned quickly as well, heading off for her tent without another word.

And then there was just you, the crackle of the fire, and Astarion.

You gently twisted more of his curls around your fingers. “I expected commentary from you on Gale’s riveting tale.”

Astarion chuckled, and finally tipped his head back, glancing up at you. Those red eyes were dark, deep, calm in a way you rarely saw. “I hardly listened to a word he said.”

You released his hair, leaning back a little on the log, your hands braced against the rough, old bark. He held your stare, before he released your leg, pushed himself up onto his knees. In a single, swift movement, he had pushed your knees apart and was settled between them, his arm now hooking around your waist as he stared up at you.

“There were far better things to think about.”

The curl to his lips, that devil smirk, didn’t leave much room for you to wonder what. You leaned forward, and his free hand reached up, gripped your chin gently and held you still as he kissed you. Once. Gently.

And then again, with a bit more desire.

You leaned forward, moved your hands back to his hair. Gods above and below it was so soft, you could toy with it for days on end. You felt the tips of his fangs drag on your lower lip, and with a smile against his mouth you tugged at his hair.

Astarion let out a shuddering breath, one you hadn’t expected, and suddenly the fire wasn’t what was warming you at all. You took advantage of his lapse in control, traced your tongue along the seam of his mouth. He let you in, hand moving from your chin to your shoulder, then between you both, palming one of your breasts as you purposefully pricked your tongue on one of his fangs.

You felt light headed, and perhaps you had forgotten to breathe. It was so easy, with Astarion distracting you. His own tongue pushed against yours, and you felt his shudder over the few drops of blood he could taste, before you pulled back just enough to suck in a much needed breath.

“Wicked little thing,” he mused, “you should never give me a taste.”

“Why?” you asked, cheeks blazing. Gods the way you went from sheer calm to blazing fire with him was impossible.

“I’ll just want to devour you whole, darling.”

You shivered, and Astarion surged back for your mouth, kissing you hard. The bit of control you’d blissfully had for a moment were wrested quickly from you, his tongue pushing into your mouth, testing the points of your teeth, the plush of your cheeks. You whimpered, pushing hard against the hand still cradling your breast, feeling Astarion’s other hand leave your waist and move between your legs, pressing tightly to your groin to revel in your heat despite your clothing. You squirmed, sucking in a second, desperate breath when he finally released your mouth and dragged kisses along your jawline.

“They’ve all gone to bed,” he mused, words breathed directly into your ear. The invitation, request, was there, unspoken.

And oh, sure everyone had turned in. But that didn’t mean they were asleep. That didn’t mean someone wasn’t going to climb out of their tent at any given second.

And yet…

You bit your lip, gave a single, small, wordless nod. It was all Astarion needed. His mouth moved to your neck, kissed gently at the healing marks his teeth had left behind the previous night, the hand at your groin inching higher, pushing for the waist of your pants.

As his hand slipped beneath the fabric, his tongue pushed against your sensitive skin. Not hard enough to reopen the wound, but oh, it ached like a push on a fresh bruise. You groaned, low and quiet, and felt him quake against you.

His fingers slid between your legs, along your lips, teasing. The groan turned louder, and you tried to push towards him, the angle awkward but gods you didn’t want to move. Still he teased, never pushing farther, rubbing so gently you could swear he must have thought you glass.

“Tease,” you breathed, and he lifted his head, eyes wide and sparkling, gorgeous and sinful. The fire cast a halo of oranges around him, and he seemed more devil than elf, in that moment.

“Did you want something, my love?” You squirmed again, and he tsk’d. “Use your words.”

You sucked at your tongue, felt almost embarrassed- but your desire, your sheer need was enough to overcome that. Besides, why not tease him back? “Yes,” you said, forcing yourself to square your shoulders. You reached out for him, tipped his chin up higher with a single finger. “Preferably to ride your tongue until morning, if that’s an option.”

You saw the flush growing on his cheek bones, the tips of his ears. It was desire, sheer joy at you voicing your desires. He slid his fingers past your lips finally, rubbed gently at your clit. You sighed, feeling both relief at the contact and a sudden burning in your belly for more, more, more.

“Shame, I think we’d have to relocate for that. Unless the thought of being found naked and writhing is tempting?” He quirked a brow, and you gave him the only answer you could.

You leaned down and kissed him. You felt him smile into it, fingers rubbing in deliberately slow circles, stoking the fire in you slowly. You bit at his lip, got a hiss before he wrestled control back, fingers sliding down further, pushing at your entrance. You leaned back slightly, just enough to angle your hips up, and he eased two inside.

You moaned, loud, against his mouth. He grinned, pulled back to watch your face as he thrust his fingers expertly, knowing exactly how you liked to be touched. He made you burn hotter than any layer of hell. You grasped his shoulder with one hand, the other sinking into the curls at the base of his hairline, tugging with a loud gasp as his fingers curled so perfectly that you swore the Earth was trembling.

“Shh, shh, shh my love,” he cooed, leaned into you, nosing at your throat, drowning in the hammering of your pulse. “You’ll wake everyone. And what a sight you are right now.”

You tried to fuck yourself on his fingers, could curse that you hadn’t thrown yourself to the ground earlier so you could move more. Each passing second made you feel ravenous, and oh to straddle his gorgeous face, feel his blunt nails digging into your plush ass as his tongue delivered on every sordid promise he ever made-

You cried out, rather loudly, as his thumb pressed to your clit. Before you could even take a breath, he was back at your mouth, kissing you hungrily, muffling all your little noises.

You could thank him later for that.

You clenched tightly around him, pulled at his hair hard as he sucked at your lip, your tongue, swallowed down every breath you gave him. The world was spinning and yet your eyes were closed, his belly so tight a knot you thought you might simply shatter. You tried to say his name, but the sound was lost to his mouth. Still, he fucked you harder with those nimble fingers, knowing it was his name you choked on, and behind your eyelids you saw hot, white sparks-

When you came, it was to clutching at him desperately, holding on as if the world was flipping upside down, and he could keep you anchored, grounded. You trembled, awash in sheer bliss, unable to do much beyond let him drag the orgasm from you and ravish your mouth with his own. When you finally began to relax, his kisses turned softer, easing you back into the here, the now.

When he pulled back you tried to lean into him, not wanting him gone just yet. He flashed the tips of his fangs in a smile, before he freed his hand from your clothing and stood up, still squarely between your legs.

“If I don’t stop now,” he mused, “I never will.”

Oh, you were fine with that.

You watched through heavy lids as he turned his slick fingers in the moonlight, before dragging his tongue up along one. You shivered, grasped at his hips as he eased both into his mouth, giving a little groan over just a taste of you. “And I think I might need a little sustenance before I devote myself to ruining you for eternity.”

You let go of his hips, watched him take a single step back, away from you. And true, instead of going out on a hunt, Astarion had chosen to settle by the fire with you earlier. He had to be starving.

The remaining slight flush to his cheeks and ears was proof that it wasn’t for just blood. You could only imagine the pretty color his cheeks would be had he just feasted.

“But if I come back and just happen to find you in my bed,” he said rolling his shoulders a little and letting moonlight catch his fangs. “Why, I’m sure I’d be able to satisfy you well beyond dawn.”

You bit your lip, worrying it, wanting to squirm under his stare. You knew you didn’t need to respond- there wasn’t a realm where you existed that you would dream of turning down his less than subtle invitation. Besides, you hadn’t forgotten about the sheer thought of riding his tongue-

“See you later, darling.” He winked- and gods below, it made you want to laugh, before he turned away, heading beyond the light of the fire, the security of camp- into the forest to drain the life from whatever he found, so he could spend that newfound energy on you.
