Summary
Astarion has been attending Baldur’s Gate Law School for a few years now because ... well, because his mother said that’s what an Ancunín ought to do. It's not exactly what he would have chosen for himself, but at least he gets to share most of his classes with his best friend Zoraya. The two of them have been inseparable since childhood. A connection that has always been strictly platonic, of course; as his parents' ward, Zoraya is far beneath his station. Recently, however, Astarion has decided that he might consider giving her a chance. If she were to make an effort—say, throw herself at his feet and beg him for a shot at his heart—well, he might be persuaded to indulge her.
Unfortunately for him, Zoraya feels the exact same way.Law Student Astarion and his childhood friend Zoraya get into a “Kaguya-sama: Love is War” like scenario where they’re both madly in love with each other, but neither of them is willing to set aside their pride and make the first step, so instead they try to manipulate each other into confessing their feelings first.
Written for the Astarion Fanzine "Bound by Blood" 2025
