Summary:
astarion tries to give staeve head and he dissociates about it

Excerpt:

His back hurt. It wasn't the pain of flayed skin. It wasn't the pain of carved flesh. It wasn't the pain of acid pours. It wasn't the pain of sunlight burns. He ached, but his bones weren't creaking with hidden cracks. He ached.

Summary:

what if staeve and astarion met earlier than the tadpole? let's say much earlier.

Excerpt:

“Excuse me,” Vesta whispered, gathering all the courage he had. “Do you need help?”

The stranger hadn’t heard him approach. He started badly, his body twitching upright, flattening against the wall like a cornered animal. His eyes were a brilliant, unreal red, the only spot of real colour almost glowing in the grey-scale darkness surrounding them.

Kostya has a dream while a stranger is sleeping in his bed.

Summary:
astarion cannot use healing potions (or so he thinks). a different take on the first he bites a thinking creature.

Excerpt:

“I can bleed some into a cup, if it makes you more comfortable,” Elior said, misunderstanding Astarion’s silence.

“That would be a waste of perfectly good blood.” Astarion’s mouth felt both dry as bone, and drenched with drool, like a beast getting ready to tear into its prey. “I will gladly bite you."

Summary:

Excerpt:

“Anthill,” Staeve repeated, “starts with an A. Say something that starts with B, now.”

She tilted her head at him. “Why.”

“It’s a game.” It suddenly seemed a stupid idea, but when did that ever stop him? “I say anthill, what says you?”

Olga stared him down for a moment, and then in a flat voice she said, “Bollocks.”

Summary:

Excerpt:

“You’re such a cat,” Staeve teased Astarion, poking his nose. “You’ll make Slippers jealous.”

“She can deal,” Astarion sniffled, mock-offended. “She did steal my spot, after all.”

Staeve chuckled, and they both glanced down at the kitten curled up on his lap, her nose ridiculously and adorably tucked under her paw. “Don’t be mad at her, she’s very small and her life is very hard,” he cooed, scritching the fur between her ears with a careful fingernail.

“I’m not mad, I’m jealous.”

Summary:
Hébée and Staeve have a fun night together.

Excerpt:

While Staeve watched her, Hébée pulled her shirt over her head and let it drop to the side. His flush deepened and his grin widened, his eyes wandered down her chest and the rest of her.

“Do you like what you see?” she purred. She was already wearing her cock, and she knew she looked good. She grabbed it at the base and showed it off a little. “Are you ready for me?”

“I am always ready,” he boasted. “Especially for this.”

the other one where they're girls and they're drunk off their asses

Excerpt:

“More alcohol? Aren’t we drunk enough?” Astaria laughed [...]

“Speak for yourself, lightweight,” Staevia sniffled at her, affronted. “I’m prefectly—” Nope. “Preferably—” Nope. “…Very sober.” Good enough.

Astaria just laughed harder. She tried to stifle her giggling with one hand, and to swat Staevia with the other. She missed by about a mile. Staevia also exploded in a fit of snickering. Gods, she was in love with her. “Alright, maybe I am a li’l drunk.”

Notes: Visible mending • A form of repair work, usually on textile items, that is deliberately left visible. The dual goals of this practice are to adorn the item, and to attract attention to the fact it has been mended in some way - a critique of the idea of replacing broken items with new ones without trying to bring them back to full functionality. | staeve belongs to Velnna/MAF.

Summary:
Staeve has a moment ™️ about the bits of embroidery Astarion has been leaving on his clothes. Astarion has a moment about him having a moment.

i know the kindest thing is to (never) leave you alone part 4 of 4

Excerpt:

It was a simple thing. A little bit of thread stitched in a bit of fabric. He didn’t know why, but unspeakable emotions bubbled in his chest, squeezed his ribs. Staeve was so overwhelmed he had to sit back on the bed for a while, his fingertips running over Astarion’s handiwork again and again. Wondering how he had missed something so obvious. Wondering what else he had missed.

Excerpt:

“I didn’t know you could sing,” Staeve mumbled.

Astarion made a noise in the back of his throat. “I can’t. Well. I can, but I’m not very good at it,” he conceded. “When did you hear me sing?”

“Just now. I think.” Maybe he had dreamed it.

i know the kindest thing is to (never) leave you alone part 2 of 4

Excerpt:

“Yes. I wore them,” Astarion enunciated, slowly. “I cleaned them. I’m giving them back.” From his tone, it was clear that he suspected that Staeve was either too stupid or too intoxicated to understand what he was saying.

Fuck, something did not add up. Maybe Staeve was too drunk to have this conversation, but something did not add up.

She jutted her chin at him. “If it bothers you so much, you shut me up, then.”

astarion jumps staeve's bones

Excerpt:

He didn’t know what had gotten into Astarion that night, but he was like a live wire, taut and dangerous. With every brush of his tongue, Staeve’s nerves lit up like he was setting them on fire. He clawed at Staeve’s arms and flanks like he needed to pin him down to devour him. They both enjoyed when Astarion played with his food, but nothing about that felt about feeding.

“Who knows!” Astarion exclaimed, playfully turning his head away to hide his smile. “I’m full of secrets.”
“Come onnnn…” Staeve insisted, nuzzling him harder.
Astarion burst into laughter. “Alright, alright.” He grabbed Staeve’s face gently, before planting a quick kiss right on his mouth. “It says – if you're reading this, you got lucky,” he paraphrased easily, a purr in his voice.
