Pairing: Shadowheart x Lae'zel (no romance)

Warnings: none

Word Count: 1k

A/N: okay i love these two together!!!!! We need more platonic friendship fics! Just a reminder, graphic made by me, I do not give permission for my work (graphic and writing) to be shared without my permission.

“Tsk – I do not understand why there is even such a thing as this.” Lae’zel spoke, her voice dripping with distain. Shadowheart knew this was all a farce, however, because before she even asked her, Lae’zel closed her eyes, eagerly awaiting the eyeliner Shadowheart was about to apply.

“Because it’s fun, Lae’zel,” Shadowheart smirked, running the eyeliner pencil gently over Lae’zel’s eyes, “And because it enhances our features – don’t you want to enhance your beauty?”

“No,” Lae’zel immediately answered, “I am already my most beautiful self. I need no enhancement.”

“Ooooo-kay,” Shadowheart drew out, immediately retracting the pencil, “Then I’ll stop -”

“No!” Lae’zel said, opening her eyes. She grabbed Shadowheart’s wrist lightly, “Don’t stop…” She looked down, slightly embarrassed, “…it feels nice.”

Shadowheart, smiling smugly, started to trace Lae’zel’s eyes once more, “That’s what I thought.” She murmured, concentrating on her eyes again. Lae’zel huffed, but didn’t say anything else. Working for a few moments in peaceful silence, Lae’zel spoke up again.

“Thank you,” She said, softly, “This is new. But it is…nice. I…appreciate it.”

“You’re welcome,” Shadowheart offered, “It’s nice to have something to do that doesn’t involve blood and trying to kill parasites.” She put the eyeliner down and picked up some rouge, dipping her finger in the pale pint pot.

“But I enjoy blood and trying to kill parasites,” Lae’zel said, “So I do not understand how I can also like this.”

Shadowheart sighed, “Because you have the ability to contain multitudes. Just because you enjoying murdering – maybe a little too much? – doesn’t mean you can’t also enjoy lipstick.”

“Hmm.” She replied thoughtfully, puckering her lips in thought.

In a rare move, the party had a night where there was no blood from battle to wash off, or journey to continue. Able to take a break for the evening to do whatever their heart saw fit, Lae’zel had approached Shadowheart, asking about the coloring on her eyelids, wanting to know more. Cut to twenty minutes later, Shadowheart was practically straddling Lae’zel, giving her a full makeover with every arsenal in her makeup box.

“Okay, now just for some color on your lips, and you’ll be done.” Shadowheart said, bringing out a dark, ruby color. Lae’zel looked at it, her eyes widening. When Shadowheart saw this, she chuckled, “Trust me. It will look nice.”

“Okay…” Lae’zel nodded, “And after you’re done, it’s your turn.”

“…what?” Shadowheart asked, taken back a bit. Quizzically, she looked at Lae’zel.

“After you are done painting my face, I shall paint yours.” Lae’zel said, speaking as if Shadowheart was a child. Shadowheart pursed her lips, applying the lipstick.

“…alright.” Even though she was fearful of what she would end up looking like, she agreed. After all, it was very rare that her and Lae’zel shared in similar interests, so this moment in camp was very nice.

As soon as she was done with Lae’zel’s lipstick, Astarion walked by, coming back from a hunt. He stopped in his tracks, looking between the two of them. He smirked and tilted his head, his eyes glittering.

“…what are you two up to?”

“Shadowheart is painting my face because I can enjoy both murder and lipstick.” Lae’zel replied.

“…okay.” Astarion said, furrowing his brows and walking away.

Lae’zel stared at him as he walked away, and excitedly turned to Shadowheart, “My turn.” She said mischievously, her eyes widening at Shadowheart’s makeup box. Picking up a coal stick for eyeshadow, she motioned for Shadowheart to close her eyes. Begrudgingly, she closed her eyes and almost immediately felt an intense pressure on her eyelids.

“Ouch! Not so hard…you can do it really lightly to transfer the color.”

“Apologies.” Lae’zel grumbled, pulling the stick back. Then, Shadowheart felt a light pressure, rubbing back and forth, After a moment, Lae’zel’s finger was rubbing the coal in, extending much farther out on Shadowheart’s face than just her eyelids.

“Blush.” Lae’zel grunted as Shadowheart opened her eyes. When Shadowheart could see again, she saw Lae’zel grinning from ear to ear, obviously enjoying herself with the makeup. Taking the blush, she scooped a dollop much more than necessary out of the pot. She smeared it on Shadowheart’s face, murmuring under her breath.

“Um, Lae’zel-”

“Shhh!” Lae’zel shushed Shadowheart, furrowing her brows in concentration. She pulled back, examining her work. Rubbing in the blush a little more, she nodded in approval and pursed her lips. “Lipstick. Then done.”

She grabbed the lipstick – a bright, pink shade Shadowheart hadn’t touched in years – and made a kissing face, forcing Shadowheart to mimic it. Slowly, Shadowheart puckered her lips and Lae’zel rubbed the lipstick on her. After about 10 swipes on each lip, Shadowheart was starting to feel like she had an excess of oil on her lips, and was about to try and interrupt Lae’zel again. Suddenly, Lae’zel pulled away, her eyes shimmering.

“Beautiful.” Lae’zel whispered, smiling. She got up and went to her tent, and Shadowheart could hear her rummaging around. Astarion made his way over again, the same playful smirk playing on his lips.

“Ah!” He gasped when he finally got close enough, “Hells, you look like that Dribbles the Clown fellow…after he was decapitated.”

“Shhh!” Shadowheart shushed him, rolling her eyes, “It’s all in good fun, Astarion. Let Lae’zel relax a little, okay?”

Lae’zel returned with a mirror, holding it up too close to Shadowheart’s face, “You are stunning. A vision.”

Shadowheart looked in the mirror and winced, Astarion’s Dribble the Clown comment making sense. Just past the mirror, Lae’zel smiled, waiting for Shadowheart’s opinion. Smiling the best she could – without making the lipstick crack – Shadowheart nodded.

“Verrryyyy niiiiice.” She said, giving Lae’zel a thumbs up. Lae’zel clapped.

“I like lipstick. But I also like murder! This is fun. Can we do this again tomorrow night?” Lae’zel asked. Astarion snickered and raised his eyebrows at Shadowheart, who sighed and nodded.

“Yes, we can do it again tomorrow.”

Lae’zel smiled again and took the mirror back to her tent, leaving Astarion alone with Shadowheart. She eyed him, crossing her arms.

“I wouldn’t be to fast to tease me, Astarion,” She started, smirking, “Because tomorrow night, I’ll let Lae’zel do your makeup.”

ppl you'd like to know better tag!

Tagged by @lirotation - thank you!

Three ships:

- I am a huge Star Wars fan and adore the forever problematic Padme/Anakin. Yes, their story starts questionably, yes it ends tragically, but man do I love everything in the middle.

- Astarion/Tav. This feels like a cop out because all Tavs are OCs, but I just adore non-ascended Astarion’s romance storyline and the complexity of it. I really think their relationship is a beautiful but raw representation of real life people.

- I don’t have any other die hard ships but I am a casual fan of: Shadowheart/Laezel from BG3, Steve/Danny from Hawaii Five-0, and House/Wilson from House MD (plus loads of others I am forgetting).

- I was also a hugeee Captain Cold/Flash shipper when I was a teen but I’ll leave that in my shame bin for now.

Last film:

Red, White and Royal Blue. Absolutely loved it! Would definitely watch again!

Currently watching:

The final season of House MD! Started it last year and fell in love! Also need to finish watching Ahsoka, and the new season of Great British Bake Off!

Currently reading:

Honestly, fan fiction. My ADHD is a pain for books (and movies for that matter) but I have been loving anything written by @justporo and @the-littlest-raindrop !

Currently consuming:

Anything Baldur’s Gate - the art, the fics, the TikToks, the community interaction, the game itself. I have not hyperfixated this hard in forever and I am very much enjoying it!

Currently craving:

Warm weather, the end of my recent art block, and this is an oddly specific one, but an Arizona Iced Tea.

I will tag @justporo, @the-littlest-raindrop, @tatterings and @smaranshakthi if y’all want to but no pressure! :)

Thank you for writing your fan fiction. There's so much Astarion stories out there and you always write stuff that interests me even if I didn't think it would. I ship inthara and laezel bc of you 😂

I'm very happy for the Astarion enjoyers out there, not that they really need my encouragement lmao. I loved his character and his story! I just don't really have the urge to create fics about him. And yeah, the stark difference between Astarion and non-Astarion fics is kinda hilarious in a sad way.

I'm glad you're liking the fics, this is very sweet and thank you! Also super pleased to spread the Minthara/Lae'zel brain worms.
