    Summary

    “Well,” he croons, “The fun doesn’t have to be entirely one-sided. Our time could very well be limited. You help me with my condition…and I could help you with yours.”

    “My condition?” she asks, her eyebrows now arched to maximum height.

    Astarion tilts his head. “Darling, it’s bad enough that we might burst into tentacles any day now. I would hate to see you die a virgin.”

    -

    Neve already had her hands full, what with trying to keep her companions from killing each other and pushing forward in the face of an uncertain fate. Then the vampire had to go and decide she was sweet enough to want to sink his teeth into.

    Another take on how things unfold post-bite.

    Summary

    Over the centuries, Astarion has learnt to play people like a fiddle, using his dashing good looks and roguish charisma to do his master's bidding. Now, with his freedom finally within reach, the one person he needs on his side seems immune to his charm.

    As a bard, Cordelia is well-trained in both performance and insight into the nature of others. She sees that walking red flag a mile away, but that doesn't mean she can resist him forever.

    Summary

    “Why does your blood smell so strange?”

    The question startled Gale, who looked up from where he sat cross-legged in front of his tent, organizing his scrolls in preparation for their upcoming “visit” to the goblin camp. He’d given Astarion a wide berth since the revelation of his vampiric condition a few days earlier, so he was surprised to see the pale elf looming over him now, a peculiar expression on his face.

    “You know,” Gale offered with a smile, “in my extensive journeys across manifold realms, I do believe that is not a question that I’ve ever been asked before. I honestly can’t decide whether or not I should be offended.”

    -

    Of the many side effects Gale has faced as a result of his whole “being physical host to an imminently destructive magical orb” problem, he somehow never anticipated his blood now apparently smelling irresistible to vampires (or at least, one particular vampire) to be one of them.

    Summary

    Astarion dissociates during an intimate moment with Tav, and is met with kindness and care he's never had before.
    Focuses on the whirlwind of feelings Astarion has, and what it might be like from his perspective.

    (no use of reader, the placeholder name Tav is used. Tav is referred to with she/her but no physical attributes are given, so any character can be inserted into the scenario)
