Hiya! Saw your requests were open for bg3
Could I request something with Astarion proposing to reader? Something really fluffy with maybe a bit of spice at the end?
I hope you like it because this was a really sweet prompt. And I hope I did it justice. Barely proofread
“Darling, have you seen my cufflinks?” Astarion asked from the doorway, you glance over your shoulder with a helpless shrug and you slide your own earrings into place at the vanity. “Oh you’re no help.” He huffed, playfully and dipped back out.
You turn back to look at your reflection in the vanity, hair in place and make up done nicely. But neither of them would be leaving for dinner if you didn't find his cufflinks. So you began your search, your jewelry box, your vanity, throwing your hands in the air you turn to his bedside table assuming he had tossed them in there after a midnight rendezvous with you perhaps.
The drawer slides open to reveal a sheathed knife and a long abandoned book. Your hands reach in the very back and feel a velvet box, you frown.
“What the hells?” You mutter as you pull out the box. Small, black, crushed velvet. You pull the box open to reveal a ring, woven with real elven silver and a deep red ruby nestled into the band. Your heart catches in your throat.
“Oh shit,” Astarion breathes, he was on his way back into the room when he saw you standing there with the ring. “I see you didnt find my cufflinks.” He was trying to play it off as if the entire proposal hadn’t been blown the second she saw the ring.
“Astarion,” You look from him to the ring, eyes wide and watery. He looked nervous and he never was nervous, always sure of himself.
“Will you marry me?” He asks quickly “I had plans on asking you at dinner-” You cut him off by closing the distance quickly, lips smashing against his own, the box still clutched in your fist.
“Yes, of course.” You say when you finally pull back for air, your chest heaving a few stray tears making their way down your cheeks. You had never been so sure about something in your life, spending the rest of your life with him seemed to be the most simple yes ever.
“You’re ruining your makeup, darling.” He says softly as he thumbs away the tears from your cheeks before slipping the box from your hand and pulling the ring from it. It slipped on your finger with ease, pulling your hand up between the two of you to look at the sparkling ruby in the candlelight. “Do you like it?” Astarion asks, turning your hand in his own watching as the ruby glittered in the different lights. You nod, pulling him back to your mouth to murmur against his cool lips.
“It’s beautiful”
Your dress was gathered at your hips as he had you pinned between him and the vanity mirror, your brush and make up strewn on the floor knocked off in his hurry. His cool hands massage the insides of your thighs as he lavishes your neck with attention. An unspoken question in the way his mouth hovers over your pulse point, he assumes the answer when you tilt your head back, your hand twisted into his downy curls.
You gasp at the feel of his fangs breaching the soft skin of your neck filling your veins with an icy numbness that tingles through your entire body. All the while his deft fingers slip under the lacy of your small clothes, brushing against that hot throbbing little bundle of nerves. He rubs in slow circles as he drinks from your neck, his own stifled moan joining into your cacophony of soft moans and whimpers.
When he leans away, a bit of your blood trickles down his chin and you wipe it away with your thumb pushing it into his mouth and letting him suck the skin clean. He closes his blood drunk eyes as he savors that last bit of sweet ichor. When he reopens his eyes a smirk plays on his features as he drops to his knees to join his fingers making a mess of your soaked cunt.
“We’re not making it out to dinner, are we?” You ask as he pulls your legs wider apart letting his cool breath ghost over your panties, a languid lick making your back arch off the mirror behind you.
“Oh we will, my beautiful wife but first I am having dessert.”

You ask Astarion to peel an orange for you.
Astarion looks at it with disdain, lips curled back to reveal canine teeth, and asks, what is he, your servant?
✧✧✧✧✧
… Astarion looks at it with disdain, and then slips on an easy smile. Of course, darling. He takes it, and then takes a dagger to it. His fingers are quick, the blade nimble, but this is not the kind of skin he is used to peeling, or the kind of flesh he is used to parting. Still, it is mostly intact when he hands it back to you, only some of the flesh still attached to the peel, to the skin.
His fingers are clean.
✧✧✧✧✧
… Astarion looks at it—or you?—with fear hidden behind disdain hidden behind an easy smile and he says, you have two perfectly capable hands, darling, and I would so hate to stain my pretty hands with something that isn’t blood.
✧✧✧✧✧
You ask Astarion to peel an orange for you, and he tells you to get one of the others to do it.
You nod. The others stare at the orange, hungry, fingers eager. Astarion watches you leave, relief and loss and resignation hidden behind disdain hidden behind an easy smile.
✧✧✧✧✧
… and he tells you to get one of the others to do it.
You shrug, and sit next to him. He looks at you, confused. I have two perfectly capable hands, you say, and begin to peel.
✧✧✧✧✧
You offer Astarion a peeled orange and he looks at it, suspicious.
✧✧✧✧✧
You offer Astarion a peeled orange and he looks at it, insulted.
✧✧✧✧✧
You offer Astarion a peeled orange and he says, you know I’m a vampire, right? I’d much rather blood, if it��s all the same to you.
✧✧✧✧✧
You offer Astarion a peeled blood orange and he says, very funny.
✧✧✧✧✧
You offer Astarion a peeled orange and he takes it. Brings it to his mouth. Bites into it with his canine teeth.
Thank you, he says, quietly.
His fingers are stained with juice
✧✧✧✧✧
… and he says, you have two perfectly capable hands, darling, and I would so hate to stain my pretty hands with something that isn’t blood.
Oh, I’m not that hungry then, you say, and put the orange away.
Later, one of the others is preparing to eat a peeled orange. He steals it from their hand and throws it to you. You catch.
Satisfied, darling? he asks, smiling.
You’re not, but you accept it for what it is and bite into the orange.
In the background, your friend protests, citing theft.
✧✧✧✧✧
You ask Astarion to open a pomegranate for you, and he tells you to fuck off.
Mythologies always have some overlap.
✧✧✧✧✧
You ask Astarion to open a pomegranate for you, and he does. He gives you twelve seeds and asks you to eat them, and you do.
You give him a seed and he smiles and says he isn’t hungry.
✧✧✧✧✧
You open a pomegranate for Astarion and he tells you to fuck off.
✧✧✧✧✧
You open a pomegranate for Astarion and you feast on the seeds together.
✧✧✧✧✧
You open a pomegranate and hand a seed to each of your friends, and Astarion looks at his, bewildered.
It takes a while, but he eats it.
✧✧✧✧✧
Astarion opens a pomegranate for himself, and devours every last seed.
✧✧✧✧✧
You never ask Astarion to peel an orange for you, even though you hate the feel of it under your nails and really like the taste of it on your tongue.
✧✧✧✧✧
You never ask Astarion to peel an orange for you. It was never really your thing.
✧✧✧✧✧
You never ask Astarion to peel an orange for you, but one day he grabs the orange from your hand.
When he hands you it back, his blade is stained with juice. So are his fingers.
It is perfectly intact.
Thank you, you say, quietly.
✧✧✧✧✧
You ask Astarion to peel an orange for you. You see his nose wrinkle, fear hiding behind disdain, and you tell him it’s fine, you have two perfectly capable hands. He doesn’t need to do this.
No, he tells you. I want to try.
His digs his nails into the peel. All his finesse is gone. He is not used to working with this kind of skin. It is messy work. When he is done, half of the flesh has been reduced to juice and what remains is a mutilated thing. His fingers are stained.
You both stare at the carcass for a long moment, and then begin to laugh. Once the laughter has left, you—both of you—devour the remains with canine teeth.

The tadfools were just SO connected for such a long amount of time that I can't imagine them seeing each other as anything but family after a good run, especially a good Resist Durge run. I think they'd swoop right in for one another like they were siblings if they absolutely needed something.
#bat rambles#processing some planning thoughts cus like#single mom lae'zel who is crushing it but could still use a hand#and finds it more enjoyable when motherhood involves the village all stepping in to help in different ways#little miss “power for the individual at the cost of the strength of the collective” would like#i think motherhood would be fulfilling if it was as nontraditional as githyanki birth gets#enjoying the rearing and comfort but struggling with handling xan when he's being difficult#bc if you were difficult in creche k'liir you put a target on your back#so she doesnt know how to handle how difficult and nonsensical toddlers can be#like she's SO logical and would fight every argument with clear logic but#toddlers do not give a shit#that would be a nightmare for her#wyll and shadowheart would be the top two for dealing with that stage#wyll would be able to play along in a way that he can redirect them#redirection KING#shadowheart is just so playful and patient#she would get frustrated but i think she'd be at a point where she'd just#appreciate even being able to have this moment and commit it to memory#karlach is perfect with all the kids she's the cool aunt#so she encourages the chaos instead of reigning it in#she also would be the one to get them hyped up on sugar and drop them off but not maliciously#astarion would do it maliciously

Me starting another bg3 run where I will make virtually all the same decisions in mostly the same order as if there isn't different branching paths
#the horrifying idea of things going differently if i choose something different#my ass sitting here wanting other content for it as if i'm not actively refusing to make the choices to get other content#i've still only romanced astarion bro#i had my og. the EXACT copy of my og but durge this time.#began a karlach run to romance wyll and am still in early act 1 so nothing will happen for a long ass time#and i left that because i missed my paladin. the party feels incomplete without them bro#started a rogue/fighter run of one of my ocs retrofitted into the game.#but also am incapable of staying true to the character cause i'll miss stuff if i do and i need to do EVERYTHING explore EVERYWHERE#nearly couldn't get over the hurdle of having no strength and no speak with animals (so karlach and wyll gotta speak to critters)#then just started a sorcerer to try to really push myself to branch out. but all it did was reaffirm that being a spell caster sucks#no jump cause no strength no health no armour no decent melee. like motherfucker pick a struggle#luckily that oc is into music so sorcerer-bard here we come#but every single one of these bitches is good aligned#(and anything i SHOULD do different i don't cause there's still different varoeties of good but alas)#still haven't romanced another party member (but that's not ENTIRELY my fault!!!!)#my og/og durge was the same person i couldn't just romance someone else. they got with astarion i don't make the rules#karlach WILL romance wyll if i ever get farther in#my rogue/fighter oc is heading the baldur's gate for his boyfriend and they have an open relationship so he COULD fuck other people#alas he would never due to his own issues#BUT THIS WILL CHANGE#my sorcerer/bard (who is the boyfriend of the rogue. just imagining the plot as if he was on the adventure or rogue was in baldur's gate)#and he WOULD fuck other people no strings attached#so my goal is to fuck all potentially non-monogamous party members#so lae'zel shadowheart astarion#wyll is a slow burn so that's emotional depth we wouldn't put in#gale is king or monogamy (plus him and this character together would make the rogur pass the fuck out)#karlach is complicated because of the no touch thing? hard to say how much emotional depth ends up required there#meanwhile shadowheart has mentioned she does no strings attached hook-ups#lae'zel propositions you ten seconds in for a good tumble#and from romancing astarion i know fucking the first time seems like it'll just be casual hook up time and i needn't go further

My partner finally finished BG3 but has no idea that his ending was actually bad cause he was a pro-Vlaakith githyanki who rode off with Lae'zel but got NO EPILOGUE where Withers points out y'all died im 😭😭😭
they have no idea what happened with Gale or anyone else (who was still alive) after flying away 🙃🙃🙃
#i cant even tell him cause hes gonna play again more “normally”#its so tragic he would like skip dialogue and just fight to get the jump on boss battles instead of waiting for the cutscenes to start#and he didn't exhaust dialogue trees!! like... how... why...#and also he staked Astarion 😭 and p much never reloaded#and didn't clear the shadow curse so no Halsin#also everyone at Last Light Inn died so Dammon was gone and Karlach only got 2 upgrades#and he didnt know moonrise towers was basically a second town#and his game was buggy a lot maybe? cause he kept trying to be hella creative with things and do things out of order#like killing gortash before doing steel watch 🙃#it's fine it's fine everyone plays differently#he tends to care more about gameplay than anything else but still!!#i just want him to know all the character backstories and see everything that made me emotional#i mean he did say he was sad when Lae'zel broke up with him in act 3 and when Karlach died and when he had Gale use the orb in act 2#which he considered his canon ending :/ sigh#i dont think he got Jaheira's lines about death#and he didnt understand why Karlach wouldn't go back to the hells#and he thought Wyll was happy being the duke (and has NO idea you could save his dad cause the mission didn't happen!! 😭)#the iron throne was like my fave mission outside of killing Cazador and I can't discuss either one cause he didn't do them properly yet 😭😭#he also avoided talking to children so he missed those quests and yenna glitched so no cat appeared in camp 🙃#sighhhhh cannot believe he plays so differently than i do lollll#he didn't even do unlimited kisses with Lae'zel!! meanwhile im over here kissing Astarion every night hahahah#hoping my partner doesn't see IRL if I have the office door open as if it matters lmfaooooo#i need him to play again and see why im in love with a video game character lol#maybe we could both um... benefit from knowing more about all of Astarion's scenes lmao#but like he has NOT SEEN Astarion's silly or sweet side yet just him being a bit of a chaotic vampire#and thinks i like him cause of vampires WRONG!! play the game again and see that i love his silly & sweet real self!#bg3 spoilers#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#bg3#baldur's gate 3

as a trekkie they said "frontier" so much that I am now plotting a whole AU in my head. I feel Wyll would be a great captain (and also literally no one else in the group could do it)
#ah yes the tieflings from the planet infernal#antiqua plays bg3#not sure if I wanna find different races for them or just be like and move on#karlach as a klingong is so obvious that I don't wanna#astarion would be a great romulan but would never have a bowl cut#althought if he was a romulan kidnapped by orions or some shit and then shipped back he could be like ooooops I forgot it all#no bowl cuts and horrible eyebrows for me!#shadowheart would be a cardassian in the order that is a given#lae'zel would be from somewhere in the gamma quadrant that used to be dominion#gale is still human who was sent to vulcan for psi training and considering he is gale it did NOT go great#halsin is just from a colony where space shit happened and he now he can turn into a bear. no explanation#actually what if he and jaheira were bajorans and druid powers were a result of cardassian fucked up stuff#since halsin and shadowheart do have shar beef#mh.#Mmmmmh#MMMMMMH#bg3 star trek au#that exists only in my mind#minsc should also be bajoran#minthara as a vorta makes no sense but I don't think you can do her religion theme with many others#also purple#I guess in this AU wyll still has horns because space bullshit happened#THE EMPEROR IS A CHANGELING AND BECAUSE THIS IS STAR TREK HE CAN JUST DECIDE HE LIKES BEING A TENTACLE MONSTER AND THEY ALL ACCEPT IT

#I am so tired of that post dragging the astarion fan for thinking he'd do over the top romance things for them#and then accusing astarion fans of wanting him to be wyll#like first: it's a HC who tf cares#2nd there's no reason to think astarion is incapable of doing something Big and Romantic if the mood took him#I personally feel like Crime would have to be involved somewhere#but i still think it could happen#and last but DEFINITELY not least just...WHAT is with this fandom pitting different characters romances against each other???#jfc we're all here to have fun#if you prefer Wyll and ur mad that he got shafted for content i get it#BELIEVE me i get it#but it's not astarion fans' fault that that happened guys#even if you think they're annoying about the way they enjoy the game#like just...everyone calm tf down

What kind of love are you?
Violet: Love as a Threshold
Your love does not ask for much. Your love does not take. Your love is free, and unquestioned, and here for wherever needs it. When you fall in love, it is as gentle as a breath in the night. It is quiet, and it is effortless. It is tender. If your love was a house, it would readily welcome all who come through. If your love was a hearth, it would warm the hands of whoever stopped by, whether for a day, a month, a year, or forever. When you fall for someone, it is without strings, without conditions, without need. You love for the sake of loving, for the sake of caring for those who need it. You love with a giver’s heart and a giver’s hands and are made so much stronger for it. Being loved by you is to always feel at home. Your love may not always be well-received by those unprepared to linger, but it is unforgettable all the same
The second I saw this answer for Violet I knew it was perfect. Their entire romance with Astarion was about patience. Waiting for him to realize that he's truly safe with them, that they doesn't expect anything from him, that he is in the lead here and they'll follow only when he's ready and okay. And waiting without judgement, Violet knows these things take time and they were more than willing to wait, to be there, to just sit and exist with him while he figures shit out. And when he truly let Violet in, I like to think it was like with a comforting sigh, the feeling of coming home, that feeling when all pressure is lifted and you can just *exist* without fear, without judgement.
Violet has seen violence and hatred and yet chooses to show up for those they love as a place of calm and stability, without judgement, without expectations. Violet's love is patient, it doesn't expect anything back but will give you everything just because we all deserve to feel warmth and safety. They feel so much warmth in their heart that they were able to help Astarion get to a place where he feels safe. I think even if they didn't fall in love or end up together, Violet would have still shown up for him in the same way. They know what suffering is like, they've gone through enough of it themselves and come out the other end alive. They know how much it hurts, but also how much easier it is with someone to lean on.

i have to say, though, as much as i like reading about the astarion romance and absorbing it passively via tumblr posts, as of yet i'm far more intrigued by the dynamic astarion and my durge character have going on when they don't romance astarion and when they thought he was a nuisance (derogatory) up until late act 2/early act 3. it adds such good layers imo...
because, well, they aren't doing it for any benefit, they don't love him more or differently than the others—quite the opposite, actually. he's probably the least favourite party member for quite some time, and yet they do all these things for him. they put up with him despite disagreeing all the fucking time; they don't mind his...clumsy vampire reveal; they protect him from (i.e. don't rat him out to) the monster hunter; they let him feed on them—and don't chase him away after he accidentally kills them the first time—repeatedly, even when that means they're woozy for the day; they walk him through the whole raphael quest, only sometimes stepping in to be a guiding hand but otherwise letting astarion make his own decisions; they promise to come along to fight cazador; they promise to try and steer the ritual in astarion's favour; ...
they do all of that, again, not because they love astarion in a more significant way (though i don't think romantic relationships are by default more significant than platonic ones but i digress), not because he's somehow special to them. and, again, he only became a nuisance (affectionate) after late act 2, early act 3. their relationship was at a whopping 0 or -1 for a LONG time. so them doing all these things for him still, despite the bumpy relationship they have, feels so significant to me.
and from what i passively absorb about astarion's charatcer, it must be utter whiplash to experience! imagine the guy who can't stand a single opinion you have, who you also can't be fucked to care about beyond your alliance of convenience, repeatedly risks their own skin for you and goes out of their way to help you in various ways, asking for nothing in return—when you fully expect someone who doesn't even like you to ask for something, literally just anything in return. who does that??? are they mad??? of course, you begrudgingly also risk your skin for them once in a while, but usually only in immediate battle—where you obviously have to mind your allies. but they keep defending you in dialogue and refusing to rat you out when they have every reason to do so.
after 200 years with cazador, it seems such far away a notion, so utterly impossible that someone does something for/with him just because they respect his autonomy and personhood. not because they value him as an asset but simply because he exists. what the hell
#cas.bg3#bg3 spoilers#idk i have SOOOO many thoughts about them#rhidian and astarion are genuinely one of my favourite dynamic#later of course they are on more equal footing especially once they find out the durge bhaal reveal and realize hey... theyre#not all that different from each other. and astarion is somehow Genuine with rhidian for the Very First Time#it's so beautiful to me [<- is going feral]#and of course i love the flip side too because astarion is like. well i don't like this guy but i guess i Have to help them#and defend them with my life. and be at their heel instead of doing fuckall at camp#it's such a good mutually begrudging relationship! & rhidian is genuinely like 'not this guy again' and 'get a load of this guy' w astarion#but they would still go to the hells and back for astarion. not bc they particulalry Like him (well. maybe they like him but it's buried#underneath all these layers of annoyance) but because they value him (if that makes sense?????)#like i said. just...As A Person. basically. ofc also as an ally but that presupposes a kind of benefit again#or well i guess it doesn't have to. bc astarion COULD sit in camp doing fuckall the whole time and let rhidian & co do the hard stuff#anyway i've been rambling on for too long already#idk if any of this makes sense to anyone but myself but I'M GOING INSANE WITH THOSE TWO!!!!!!!#oc rhidian#cas.oc

thinking about ursula when she’s in love
#she likes astarion so much.. obviously she loves him but she Likes him she is so fond of him..#she Smiles at him……#when she’s in love she’s obsessed she’s all in. she’s in all honesty easier for him to try to manipulate by act two#which sounds crazy bc.. ursula?? rlly?? ‘easy to manipulate??’ fr?? but it’s true !! only he could do it bc he’s figured her out#because when she’s in love she would do anything for them. climb mountains drown in seas etc#she’s weak for them they’re her absolute princess#not in a doe eyed lovestruck constantly fawning way just a direct and clear ‘what they want they will get’ way#scary evil wife who only smiles at you and murders anyone who looks at you wrong type of vibe !!#and with astarion it’s different. she feels lighter.#she’s always been the protective sort but she truly and genuinely only cares for him and as an acts of service girlie she makes it known#every act of love is more than just reassurance for astarion. he feels free with her he can do literally anything he wants#and she’s tucking a hair behind his ear like great job babygirl LMFAOOOOO#but seriously she loves so wholly and truly that it’s all consuming. it’s monstrous. it corrupts.#with talyss it was too much. siken poem it’s like a religion it’s terrifying. yeah.#but now…… she’s better. it’s just right.#they’re on perfectly equal footing#SHE MAKES ME GO CRAZY. CRAWLING AROUND ON THE CEILING ON ALL FOURS FOAMING AT THE MOUTH.#anyways.txt#ch: ursula

15 Lines Challenge
Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture their character/personality/vibe. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you’re free to include those as well. @fablewritesnonsense strikes again! As always, no pressure, I just really admire these lovely folk's work: @helena-bug @just-another-wasteland-merc @roystory4 @druidgroves @heylittleriotact
(I'm going to be completely honest, I'm working of off 5 incomplete scenes if I just do BG3, so I'm also going to throw in some By Any Other Name quotes. It's technically the same character from a different story. The backstories vary a little but I'm confident the character is still there. By Any Other Name quotes are marked with an asterisk * at the end)
Wynleth Reiden
“Lathander isn’t going to strike me down if I don’t stop and kneel."
“Are you stupid?”
“Of course I’m not going to kill you!”
“And I’m still not sure you are actually what I think you are or just some freak with filed teeth and a biting kink!”
“My faith is entirely a different matter.”
“I am going to drown myself in the Chionthar.”
“It is precisely because you are a depraved beast that you get the juiciest gossip.”
“Yes, good sex!”
“I was married, he died… fifty-four years ago come Mirtul?”
“I- I think I need to be alone for a bit. I need to pray. I need to do something or I’m going to fall apart.”
“Is that why I took up the role of a garden water feature when I tried to dominate it?"
“Becoming a Paladin, beginning a life in politics, was how I could take control back. I never had a connection to Lathander like you did. I didn’t find him when I lost. He was never there for me in my darkest moments. He was forced upon me because it was expected . He inundates every single one of the worst moments in my life. Because of them .” *
"Here, every second of every day is focused on the words and what they mean and it's been like that for centuries. We are like an ouroboros. The dogma is causing us to consume ourselves.” *
"You are a soldier with faith, I am a priest sent to war. They are entirely different things.” *
"I have Saints, Martyrs, Prophets, all manner of Holy Persons in my family line. I was supposed to follow in their footsteps. But I didn’t. Not totally.” *
If you would like to see more of my writing (or some of the incomplete scenes these are pulled from) check out my tag on my account #Jericho Writes
If you are a Legends of Avantris and Edge of Midnight fan, By Any Other Name is a published oneshot about the Chapter 17 memory ritual you can find on my Ao3!
#number 4 has got to be one of my favorite lines I've ever written#It's also not subtle who she is talking to lmao#At least half of the BG3 lines are pulled from conversations with Astarion lmao#hes the only one I'm 100% confident I have the character voice down pat for#Karlach is in second place#I really need to improve on everyone else#I could probably bullshit my way through The Emperor#the additions I made to his canon lines fit pretty nicely#But I have a feeling as that scene goes on I'm gonna get lost#Anyways peep the line from the sex talk (number 8)#Astarion accuses her of never having good sex which... fair#But the girl was married for 50 years in a long distance relationship#to a sailor of all people#She might not be overly interested in sex but your lying to yourself if you think that shit wasn't wild#Almost all of the By Any Other Name lines are Wynleth arguing with Marius cause that was the conceit of the whole Oneshot for me#Them finally fighting out their differences about faith#MMMMMM Wynleth is how I deal with my religious trauma if you can't tell#tag game#legends of avantris#baldurs gate 3#baldur's gate 3#bg3#baldur's gate iii#loa#edge of midnight#eom#Jericho Writes

see and i guess the thing that makes me crazy about the whole relearning intimacy is that xarrai is doing the same thing. in different ways and for different reasons they are both people who have almost never been touched if not for pain or sex or some other sort of Use. and i think that for the two of them that shared experience makes the whole thing like… almost kind of funny? here we are, two guys who are supposed to be experts at intimacy, and we’re giggling like schoolgirls after the most chaste little kiss. it’s all just another joke only the two of them are in on, another conspiratorial little moment they share. or at least it’s easier to see it that way than to see it for what it Is (being madly in love)
#i never post abt them being happy it feels wrong. LMAO#a little self indulgence today as a treat :)#just… finding joy in the closeness and the intimacy#and being so drawn to it like moths to a flame#even between moonrise and the ritual where every other conversation they have devolves into an argument…#still xarrai is close enough to touch him. still they come back to him every time#neither of them Wants to give this up even when everything feels like it’s falling apart. even when they struggle to trust one another#they’re both aware it could be all part of the game. it IS all part of the game sometimes#they KNOW how to weaponize this closeness and they do. both of them. over and over.#both of them wielding touch the same way they wield promises and yet. and yet.#sometimes it’s not. sometimes in the fleeting moments inbetween they find something real. in chaste kisses and cold hands on skin and#all of it.#they’re at each others’ throats the night after the ambush but they still sleep tangled together#it’s different after the ritual too it’s all different like after the tiefling party the two of them are Constantly touching but#the context and the feelings and all of it evolves so so much. okay bye i need to do my job now LOL#漫言#oc. xarrai#r. hold me like a knife#astarion

Height comparison chart based on the in-game models
Dragonborn Durge is 6'8" or 204cm. Halsin and Minsc are 6'7" or 200cm. Karlach is 6'4" or 192cm. Devil form Wyll is 6'1" or 185cm (the horns net him ~2 in / ~5cm!) Human form Wyll, Astarion, and Gale are 5'11" or 180 cm. Jaheira, Shadowheart, Minthara, and Lae'zel are 5'7" or 170cm.
The models are a little bigger in Blender than they would be in the real world. Devil Wyll was 6'7" going by his model in blender, which is just...Not Correct.
This could be because my extracts scaled slightly wrong when i imported them into blender, or the in-game scale is slightly larger than the real world, or they're just modeled a little taller than they're meant to be to make them look biggg. (my vote is that i fucked the scale. rip y'all's estimation of my intelligence.)
Whatever the reason, I knew that they were all scaled wrong in the same way. This means that instead of giving up a futile pursuit, I could do math to figure out something more reasonable.
We happen to know that Astarion is "approximately 5'11"."
I used that as a baseline. So, with our scale established, we get something like this:
Other notes:
Shadowheart/Jahiera/Minthara, Minsc/Halsin, and Gale/Astarion/Wyll share the same heights because they use the same body model.
I'm decently certain that githyanki share an armature with elves/half-elves/drow/humans, so even though the gith body model looks different, Lae'zel is the same height as the other gals to line up with their armature's bones.
I didn't include hair or head accessories (like Shadowheart's) in the total height (that's cheating).
I did include Durge's and Karlach's horns in their overall height, but Karlach's really don't add much (maybe a cm or 2).
Average height worldwide (on Earth) for men is 5'9"/ 175 cm, and for women is 5'4" / 161 cm, so they're all quite tall, but mostly still within a standard deviation of the average.
Except for Karlach, Halsin, and Minsc, who are in the 99.9th percentile for height! They're not tall, they're huge.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#bg3 reference#i don't think these are necessarily canon other than astarion's; it's just what the game is using. headcanon away!#krem's ref renders#gale of waterdeep#wyll ravengard#karlach#astarion#lae'zel#shadowheart#halsin#minsc#jaheira#minthara#durge

Lose Yourself 18+
Pic: @casualya (side note....hot 🥵)
Astarion x f!reader, Astarion x f!Tav
Summary: During a feeding Astarion gets worked up and a bit too excited. He's embarrassed, but it turns out Tav finds it incredibly hot.
Warmings: Smut MDNI, Premature ejaculation, dry humping, fingering, PnV Sex, overstimulation, comfort sex, blood
Word Count: 2.2k
Astarion's grip tightens against your jaw, tilting your head slightly more to give him better access to your neck. The initial chill of his bite has settled to a delicious icy throb. A moan rips from your kiss-swollen lips, relishing the feeling of your blood flowing into his greedy mouth. You scratch your nails against Astarion’s scalp, combing through his tousled curls. A smile streches you lips when a shiver runs down his spine, and the hand grabbing your thigh tightens.
The majority of Astarion’s body weight is blanketing you. His hips slotted between your parted legs, mindlessly grinding against the inside of your thigh, too consumed by your blood to be fully in control. You rub his back, shoulders, neck, any skin you can get you wandering hands on and whispering sweet nothings into his ear. This has him purring into your neck and rutting faster against your body, chasing more pleasure.
This night, you had made sure to stock up on extra health potions and lesser restoration scrolls so Astarion could have his fill without worry of any repercussions on your health come morning.
And gods, you will be sure to make this a ritual from now on because seeing Astarion so lost in your body’s comfort, so relaxed and focused solely on his pleasure. It has your heart pounding and arousal pooling between your thighs.
Feeling the telltale signs that it’s time for Astarion to stop, you grab tightly at his shoulder giving him a little shake. “Star,” you slur.
Astarion sighs through his nose, taking one last sip before unlatching from your neck. He’s still lost in the haze of his feeding, eyes glossy and unfocused, trying desperately to meet your gaze. Tiny trickles of blood fall down his chin and onto your chest, where he messily laps the droplets with his tongue. Astarion’s hips are still pistoning against you, and little breathless gasps of pleasure escape his mouth. You swear you’ve never seen a more gorgeous sight. Then Astarion tenses, and with a choked sob of your name falls from his mouth, and he comes spilling onto your stomach.
The room stills.
Only the sounds of rapid breaths fill the room. Astarion’s eyes are wide open, and his mouth is agape, looking down at the mess on your stomach. You’re frozen, glued to the beads of sweat trailing down Astarion’s chest, moving down the planes of his stomach.
“Shit,” he backs away. An embarrassed flush–only evident due to the recent blood consumption– floods his face moving all the way to the points of his ears.
“Fuck,” you whimper needily, clenching against the rush of heat that simmers in your stomach.
Then Astarion lets you go, and you finally notice Astarion’s distress.
“I-that…shit,” Astarion stumbles over his words and hands you a cloth to clean yourself with. “I’m so–”
You pounce, and he catches you in his arms, looking startled. “Don’t you dare finish that sentence?” You growl, claiming his mouth in a chaste kiss, chasing the metallic taste off his lips. “That was so fucking hot.”
He clicks his tongue and lets go of you again. Backing away, Astarion starts picking up his scattered clothes. “Yes, I’m sure watching me cream myself like a boy being touched for the first time was just so attractive.” Astarion huffs and rolls his eyes. “Spare me,”
Feeling annoyed, you huff, knowing you need a different approach. Moving closer, you grab the clothes from Astarion’s hand, throw them to the side, and cup his jaw. You draw him into another kiss and trail a hand up the smooth skin of his chest, stopping to circle your thumb around his nipple. Astarion signs into your mouth and runs both his hands down your naked sides, pausing to squeeze your hips.
“My love, that was by far one of the most sexy things I’ve ever seen.” Voice low and seductive, your lips barely pulling away from him. “Seeing you lose control, drunk on my blood, on my body,”
Astarion shudders when you scratch your nails lightly down his chest before taking his hand in yours. Smiling wickedly, you peck his lips and pull away, ensuring he can see eyes.
“Hells, Star,” Pulling him, you guide his fingers to your dripping heat. “I’ve never been so turned on.”
This has the desired effect. Astarion’s nimble fingers instinctually begin exploring, and you bite back a moan. He pulls away quickly to examine his slick, covered digits. When Astarion meets your gaze, all embarrassment seems to vanish, and he’s pushing you back down onto the bed. He rests his forearms on either side of you, cradling your head. Astarion trails a thumb over the curve of your jaw. Your hands snake around his neck.
You don’t think you’ll ever get used to having Astarion look at you like he is now. Like you hung the moon and crafted each star so he would never be alone at night. It overwhelms you with such love that all you can do is pull him down and capture his lips. The kiss has no urgency, just two lovers enjoying the soft embrace. It holds the warmth of a crackling campfire, its embers building to something that leaves you needing more.
Astarion coaxes your mouth open, and when you grant him access, he leads your tongue in a practiced dance. Feeling the tease of his razor-sharp fang, you moan, cupping the back of his head. You match the growing pace, hooking one leg over Astarion's hip to pull him flush against your body.
A groan rumbles through Astarion’s chest, and he gives a playful bite to your bottom lip, earning a squeak you will deny if asked about later. One of his hands moves down to delicately play with your breast, kneading softly before pinching your nipple between his finger and thumb. You break the kiss with a breathless gasp, tugging at Astarion’s roots, forcing a ragged groan from the elf. Astarion wastes no time to pepper kisses down the column of your neck.
“I don’t think I tell you enough, just how beautiful you are, darling.” He mumbles against your collarbone before sucking a bit of skin into his mouth and playfully teasing it between his teeth.
You chuckle, swing your other leg, and link them behind his back. “You tell me at least once a day, handsome,”
“You’re such a sap.” You tease and roll your hips up against Astarion’s cock, already swelling once again.
“See, not nearly enough.” He pulls away from the freshly marked skin.
“You, my love, are so breathtaking, exquisite, beautiful,” Astarion emphasizes each adjective with wet, open-mouth kisses down to your chest before beginning to suck another mark just above your heart.
He grunts, grinding back against you. “Only for you, my love.”
Astarion’s hand moves between your bodies to your neglected pussy. His deft fingers enter you with a wet squelch, and you instinctively buck into his palm. A whimper leaves your lips, and you dig your nails into the skin of Astarion’s shoulder. He set a pace that is both agonizing and toe-curling perfect.
“See what you’ve reduced me to, darling,” Astarion whispers sinfully, voice low and filled with temptation, his thumb finds your clit. He applies light pressure rubbing tight circles.
You throw your head, arching your back, clamping your thighs tighter around his waist. “Fuck, Star.”
Astarion picks up his pace just a notch; his mouth finds your neck again. “It’s all your fault.” He says before biting your ear.
You cry out his name, fisting the bedsheet, feeling the familiar coil building. You are so lost in your pleasure you barely notice Astarion is now rubbing his cock with his spare hand looking down at you with lidded eyes.
“M close Star.” You cry, bucking your hips against his palm. “Fuck.. don’t stop.”
“I am now merely a sappy, love-sick fool who just can’t control myself when it comes to you.”
Astarion is now pumping his fingers in and out of your sopping-wet cunt in a way that has your orgasm building quickly.
“That’s it, darling,” He groans, kissing you softly. “Let go for me,”
Electricity pulses through you, seizing every muscle, every nerve, and every cell of your body with blinding pleasure. You’re moaning and babbling nonsense and pulling him into a sloppy kiss, all teeth and tongue. Astarion continues his ministrations, helping you ride out your orgasm. Finally, when the heat simmers down, he pulls his fingers from your body, leaving you whining from the loss.
Astarion is quick to put your whines at ease. “Will you give me one more, my love, please?” Astarion practically begs, kissing you with the desperation of a starving man.
The tip of his swollen cock slides through your folds and teases your sensitive entrance. You barely have time to choke out a yes, please, before Astarion is plunging into you with a grunt. Instinctually, you clench around his length, loving the feel of the fullness Astarion always gives you.
“Shit..so tight,” Astarion groans and begins to thrust frantically into your heat. “Always so perfect.”
“Astarion.”
All decency, coordination, and softness was tossed away. Both of you were too sensitive, too desperate for the other, to care for anything but mindless pleasure. It was messy, feral, and perfect. Astarion devoured your mouth, groaning against your tongue. His hands couldn’t seem to stay in one place, constantly caressing, grabbing, and massaging any part of you he could hold.
You spread your legs wide and angled your hips, bucking against each one of Astarion’s deep thrusts. One of your hands cups Astarion’s jaw, keeping him close, and the nails of your other rake down his back, causing a violent shiver to run through Astarion’s body.
“M-more..ugh, please.” You gasp out between Astarion’s feverish kisses.
He nods in return and grunts into your open mouth. “Shit..ugh,”
With a strength you hope never to get used to, Astarion effortlessly switches your positions. Your hands are on his chest, knees framing his slim waist. He’s on his back, smirking smugly up at you. You giggle dumbly, feeling dizzy from the sudden movement. That giggle turns into a wanton moan as Astarion thrusts up into you, hitting a deeper spot inside of you.
“Yes... Star.” Using the hold he has on your hips, he moves your body to pick up the brutal pace from before. “Gods,”
You bounce on your knees in time with his thrusts, and the room is filled with the slick sound of skin slapping against skin and collective cries of ecstasy. The pleasure is almost too much, and you feel the pressure bubbling again. You try to say as much, but a wave of pleasure has you gasping mindlessly, head lolling to the side.
Astarion wants to feel you come undone around him. Lose yourself so he can lose himself with you. So you oblige his request and snake a hand between your legs just above where Astarion is fucking you and begin to rub your clit in time with his quick thrusts.
“Love, fuck..ngh,” he chokes on a moan. His thrusts are faltering and getting sloppier.
“T-touch yourself for me... I’m close.” He trails off grunting, but you don’t need words to know what he wants.
It’s all too much, the angle of Astarion’s hips hitting the sweet spot inside you over and over, the delicious grip of his hand on your body, the tenderness of your clit as you add more pressure. You’re so close and trying hard to keep looking at Astarion’s beautiful flushed face and wanting him to be your last image before you fall into black-out bliss. But it’s getting harder to keep your eyes focused. Your numb legs buckle, and you stumble forward; your orgasm is almost painful. It tears through your body, ripping pleasure from your trembling muscles and fried nerves. You bite into the flesh of Astarion’s pectoral to stifle your sobs of ecstasy.
“Fuck, darling, good girl.” Astarion praises, grinding your hips against his. “Shit... I’ve got you.” And with a few shallow, pitiful rolls of his body, Astarion is cumming with a deep guttural groan filling you with ropes of his warm come.
He drops boneless, and you pant against his chest, heart still pounding against your ribs. You both are like jelly melting into a puddle on the bedsheets. You feel the drag of Astarion’s fingertips drawing nonsense patterns on your back. Humming softly, you pepper kisses over his still heart.
“Shouldn’t be embarrassed ’round me,” you mumble, yawning against his skin, too tired to raise your head. The feeling of Astarion’s fingers felt like a sleep spell. “I love you. Nothing’s gonna change that.”
Astarion stiffens under you, hand stilling against your back, clearly taken back. It takes him a bit to respond, but you don’t rush him. Just continue to kiss his chest and melt further at the feeling of his hands on your skin. Content just being here with Astarion.
He clears his throat before saying thickly, “And I love you, darling.” Astarion moves slightly and pulls out of your tender cunt. In doing so, a gush of your combined juices spills down your thighs.
“Gross, now I feel sticky.” You puff, grimacing at the feeling.
“How about I draw us a bath?” You nod silently and he sits you both up. However you refuse to get off his lap, clinging to him like a sloth to a tree.
“Carry me?”
He kisses the crown of your head. “Always.” Astarion scoops you up and carries you along to the bath.
Heya, I quite like how this turned out. I love writing 'rougher' smut, but sometimes the tender stuff just hits ya know? Let me know what you thought. I hope Astarion didn't seem ooc.
