Summary:
Drows purr. Vampires also purr. Astarion didn't know that.

Excerpt:

“Oh,” he heard Staeve exhale one evening, an odd inflection in his voice, as Astarion let himself almost doze off against his side. “Are you happy, babe?”

Summary:
aftermath of silenced, a century later

Excerpt:

They both knew how the song went at this point: Astarion didn’t need any prompting when he started unraveling—only enough space and time for him to pick the right thread and start pulling.

Summary:
Astarion speaks out of turn for the last time

Excerpt:

“You know, most vampire spawn need to relearn how to talk after they’re turned, because breathing doesn’t come naturally anymore to them after death,” Cazador drawled, pacing back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back. “You can’t speak, if you don’t remember how to breathe. But that never stopped you, did it?”

Summary:
a bit of stalsin fooling around

Excerpt:

Staeve wasn’t a small man by any means, in any meaning of the word, but the druid was so large, it disoriented him in the best of ways. He wasn’t used to having to look up to kiss his partner.

Notes: so yeah, the context here is that astarion is chained to a magic sybian fucking machine thingie and doesn't know what to expect. no sex onscreen.

Summary:
Astarion distracting himself from the dread of anticipation.

Excerpt:

It was a game of play pretend. The rules were very simple, but not always easy to follow.

Notes: Listen, I don’t even know what this is. velnna and chaiiii authorized me to act on vibes, and i dissociated for a hour and a half and then delivered. Logue and Klaus (“Master”) belong to them, they’re part of Staeve’s backstory, and I absolutely know nothing about them except that [redacted] and [redacted].

Summary:
Logue services his Master with his best skill.

Excerpt:

“No, Logue,” his Master stopped him. There was amusement in his soft voice, languid and distant. “Be obedient. What did I say?”
Logue bit his lip, but he didn’t lick his finger. He shifted back to his knees, and went back to his task.

Notes: a little context -- this is sort of canon divergence where astarion targets halsin instead of tav, because Beeg Elf Archdruid sounds like a good candidate to keep himself safe. if this were happening in game, it would be the very first sex scene with astarion after the party, basically: it's their first encounter, and halsin doesn't know anything about astarion, except that he's a vampire. on the other hand: this was supposed to be just a bit of fun where halsin touched astarion's ears and found out he liked it, and then i lost the plot.

Summary:
Halsin and Astarion's first sexual encounter, away from camp while everyone is sleeping. Just a bit of fun, uncomplicated and straight-forward--until Halsin realizes something about Astarion is off.

Excerpt:

Halsin caught his wrists, bringing him close enough to slot their knees together. “Nothing would please me more than pleasuring you,” he replied, keeping his voice light and playful. “Don’t you think that makes us rather the perfect match?” He ran his hands lightly up his arms, along his shoulders and his neck, until he was cradling his jaw in his palms. “I have no intention of rejecting you, Astarion.”

Summary:
Astarion has nightmares. All his lovers can do sometimes, is wait. Healing is a difficult journey.

Excerpt:

Halsin held Staeve close, rubbing his shoulders to comfort him, to comfort himself. He focused on his breathing, shallow but warm against his skin, as he made himself watch Astarion as he kept writhing on the bedroll, plagued by invisible touches, crying out from time—it was hard to witness, especially knowing they could do nothing but wait.

Summary:

Excerpt:

Gansey had held out his hand, with the intention of lifting him up in his palm, and Ronan had put a knife in it instead.
