Notes: commissioned by sil | astarion was turned into a true vampire ignoring actual game mechanics bc i could, stfu

Summary:
astarion gets approached by a familiar face and asked about his purpose in life.

Excerpt:

"How are you holding up, after breaking up with that last sweet thing?”

The bottle didn’t slip out of Astarion’s grip, but it was a near thing. Its thick glass thudded loudly against the polished wood when he set it down, a tightness in his chest.

He narrowed his eyes at Callaern, but the vampire held his gaze without flinching.

“Such a horrible habit of yours, asking questions you already know the answer to.”

Summary:
michel shaves his tail, ilona helps him make it pretty again

Excerpt:

“It looks like Florian's now.”

The naked contempt in her voice was so absolute it made Michel forget he was upset for a moment. He turned to her, amused and caught off guard. “What's wrong with Florian's? Doesn't yours look the same?”

“Of course not. Florian's is boring.”

Notes: staeve belongs to Velnna/MAF, a thousand thanks for letting me play with him ♥ || liar's night (and its extended version, Masquerade of Liars) is the main inspiration for the halloween-esque holiday i invented for this fic, mostly bc of the pickpocketing, the disguises and the candy.

Summary:
a halloween-adjacent fic where astarion and staeve share their experiences with the holiday, and end up having a deeper conversation than either of them expected

Excerpt:

“Don’t get me wrong, the festivities themselves sound thrilling,” Astarion said, quickly. “The chance of wandering around all night without suspicion, wearing fancy and dramatic outfits, pick-pocketing with no consequence… what’s not to love, especially for a vampire and a rogue like yours truly?” He exaggerated the sing-song in his voice to amuse Staeve, and he was rewarded by a small, charmed smile. He cleared his throat before continuing, a sudden tightness strangling him. “I just have—poor memories of the Night itself.”

Notes: first and foremost, the usual disclaimer: staeve belongs to Velnna/MAF, the brain rot is all mine.

timeline-wise, this happens a few days after this comic, for no other reason that i loved the idea of a still recovering staeve digging astarion out while thinking about his words over and over... (i love that line sm, im obsessed)

Summary:
astarion gets buried in a cave-in. staeve digs him out, and deals with the aftermath.

Excerpt:

But the rest of him was buried, buried, buried, the unshakeable fear of a recurring nightmare, of having been once again left to starve for twelve moons, curled on one side in the unfeeling embrace of marble, death and ancient mould his only companions.

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.

Notes: happy birthday k_ecus! ♥

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:
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.”

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.
