god loves you (but not enough to save you) by schmulte

Summary
I’m sorry, she mouthed. I love you.
And then she turned back to face Bhaal, chin held high, and told him without a trace of regret “I don’t need any of this. The only family I know are those who fight by my side.”
If Astarion’s heart were beating, it would have stopped. He was frozen, rooted to the spot and unable to look away as Nerissa’s nose began to drip blood. Her body violently shuddered, and she clutched at her stomach as she doubled over, falling to her knees with a dull thud.
“You reject my blood,” commanded the voice of Bhaal. “And so I will reclaim it.”--- ---

Summary
He’s piqued her curiosity. “A shame?”
“A flower like you, so alone in her garden.” He’s watched her go home in solitude a number of times. On a bolder night, he had followed her. Chalked it up to Cazador as simple stalking of prey when he stalled in getting home. She is alone, it’s what makes this too easy.

Summary
“You’re going to sit nicely in my lap, perhaps naked, as I give orders to our nocturnal horde from my palace throne.”
Tav disciplines some unruly spawn, they don’t like that and try to get even. Astarion really doesn’t like that. He shows the coven that it’s a good idea to not fuck with his baby. He then fucks his baby in his throne to drive the point home.

Summary
"My love, look at me."
And she does, if not by his command, then by instinct.
"Smile for me, will you? Can you do that for me?"
And she does precisely as commanded, her lips turning upward and raising to reveal two sharp teeth— and nothing more. It's uncanny and revolting and wrong. There is nothing behind her eyes, nothing at all. No light, no life, and certainly no love.
There must be a way to undo this. To save her. To bring her back to him. There must be.
He would give anything to see her smile again. Truly smile.

Summary
Astarion pulls away in a huff, dirtily wiping the blood off his mouth with his forearm. "Are you…humming as I suck your blood?"
Mint, though slightly paled, looks unbothered and replies, "It's not as if there's anything else to do."
He's baffled by her. Fumbled.
------The writing out of every night Astarion feeds on her and the filled in gaps of their relationship that form from it.

Summary
“As I told you—you broke my cold, dead heart. Of course it was cruel,” Astarion says, melodramatic, hamming it up for her. He wants her to feel guilty for it; he wants her to stop being so tiring and play right into his hand. Make it easy for him.
“I don’t believe you,” Tav says. “Everything you say sounds like a pretty lie, and you all but told me that’s what it is. Pretty lies. I’m not interested.”
this is just my silly little comfort cringefic :)

Summary
When they faced Cazador, they faced him together. Astarion knew what he wanted; freedom, on his own terms. Revenge for two hundred years of torment. Yet in those final moments, he'd faltered. With Cazador's blade in hand and fear in Astarion's heart, he'd changed his mind. He would go through with the ritual, and looked to his love for support.
She turned him down. And he left her.
By the time Astarion's temper cooled and he returned, it was too late. And the consequences of his lapse in judgement would haunt him for the rest of his immortal life.

Summary
Based on a piece of dialogue I overhead between companions.
Tav wanted to do something nice for him, nothing more. She helped him find a way to bathe in the middle of the wilderness and expected nothing in return. An inconsequential gesture that should have been part of his plan. A signal that what he was doing had worked.
And yet it somehow was the start of Astarion falling harder than ever before.Bookmarked by obsessivelystrange
