Summary
He doesn't know what love is. All he knows is hunger.
He'd learned to live with it. The hunger had been his most faithful companion over the years, and he had long since given up the ghost of self-denial. He knew what he was. At least, he'd known before he'd woken up on that ravaged beach, blinking in the too-bright sun and you'd come stumbling down the dirt-worn path, covered in blood of questionable origin.
You play the part of the amnesiac hero with charm. None of your other companions seemed to detect there was something deeply, deeply monstrous within you. But he smells the blood your short fingernails draw from digging into your palms when you choke out pleasantries and diplomacy. He recognizes the glint of bloodlust in your eyes.
He watches you and he can just tell.
You know hunger, too.

Summary
REVENANT
(n.)
A person or spirit that returns from the dead or after a long absence, often appearing as an animated corpse or ghost seeking vengeance or haunting the living.Somewhere inside the lump of necrotic tissue that is Astarion's unbeating heart, he knows what he's doing is wrong.
But there shall be no day of reckoning for Astarion. Astarion's already taken care of that problem- greased the palm of the reaper, slipped out of the ever hungry eyeline of mortality. You’d told him, once (tears balming the contempt- revulsion pouring from your curled lips) that Ascension had cost him his soul, but that only means it’s no longer his concern. So who cares if it's damned?
And when he looks at you now, reborn into soft, unscarred skin- your round eyes blinking at him, so eager to please, so desperate for his approval- so pliant-
Well.
All he knows is that hell feels like winning.
