Summary
In a world where magic has faded into history, modern life carries on — phones, cars, city lights — but elves still live for centuries, tieflings still turn heads, and drow still carry the weight of their past. The Weave faded long ago — and it now lives only in legends and old books. Vampires walk among the living, sustained by science and haunted by memory.
It starts at a corporate party — a guessing game, a wager, a single spark in a room full of strangers. He’s a vampire who hides behind charm; they’re a drow who hides behind mystery. Neither planned to care. But in the quiet moments between the noise, something begins to shift — and the moment it does, everything gets complicated.

Summary
Deth (The Dark Urge) and Astarion are navigating love the only way they know how: messily. In between bickering over battlefield mishaps, stealing from unsuspecting merchants, and trying not to incinerate each other mid-argument, the bond between them deepens — one flirt, one wound, one confession at a time. Because sometimes love isn’t a sudden thing. Sometimes, it’s slow — and quietly, hopelessly inevitable.

Summary
What starts as a quiet morning and a stolen shirt spirals into a whirlwind of emotion, affection, and accidental confessions.

On the edge of torchlight and shadow, Deth (The Dark Urge) and Astarion face a quiet moment of truth. What does intimacy mean when your past was never your own? What does consent look like when you’re still learning to say yes — or no? When silence offers an illusion of safety, it takes courage to ask for honesty — and even more to offer it.
