Summary
Haunted by cursed dreams and mind-broken with no memory of her former life, Delilah finds herself amongst an unlikely collective- each bound to the other by fate and seeking to rid themselves of the illithid tadpole in their heads.
It comes as no surprise to her at first that she finds a kindred spirit in the pale elven vampire who holds a blade to her neck when they first meet, as she feels the same dark hunger for violence and blood calling to her from deep within. But between hunger and hauntings they find a light in the other that may help them seek that which exists within themselves.
Summer slasher horror meets vampire romantasy fic, a dark re-telling of the journey to Baldur's Gate.
----‘I have thought of nothing but the taste of you.’ He murmured into her ear. ‘A craving.’
‘Do you always flirt with your meals?’ She smiled, whispering, feeling his eyes fixate on her neck.
‘Only when they are this divine.’ He breathed. ‘Now keep very, very still, darling.’

Among Alfira's possessions is a tattered, dog-eared diary, the ink on the last page still wet, smudges of it lingering on her fingertips.
This is the tale within: a story of love, loss, and survival as Alfira runs from a city lost.

Summary
In honour of these last few days of Cancer season for 2024, please enjoy 7.5k words of literary smut (with feelings).
This takes place in Act 3, which we’re not anywhere near in my Durge x Astarion fic right now, post-Cazador.
It follows my durge Delilah (the ultimate final girl in a horror story of her own making) and everyone’s favourite sad vampire boy in love, Astarion, as they return home after a gala in the Upper City.
Contains some (obvious) spoilers for the main fic and many many feelings. Written from Astarion’s point of view.
There is a plot in the sense that they enjoy the rain together and then they fuck. But with feelings. Enjoy!
