A lot of people here love writing about their headcanons and OCs. Me? I prefer to just post screenshots ā reading is hard, lol. XD
I'd rather let the screenshots tell the story on their own, without my commentary. Also true: I'm too lazy to write much more than I already do for my fics.
Recently, I reworked an old piece and made my first mini photoset for it.
What's the fic about?
"Secrets are part of my nature, darling."
By chance, Astarion finds himself miles away from his tormentor and far from Baldur's Gate, stuck with a handful of mismatched misfits. The role of leader feels foreign, even alien: just days ago, he couldn't make a single choice for himself. Now, lives depend on him. But he quickly realizes that this ragtag bunch of idiots might be the key to his complete freedom from Cazador. There's just one problem ā they probably won't be thrilled to learn their leader is a vampire. Everything is going relatively well, until Astarion lets a drow named Liv into the group ā a follower of Eilistraee. And almost immediately, the battle begins. Over beliefs. Over desires. And over survival itselfā¦
The protagonist and leader of the party is Astarion ā doing his best to hide that he's a vampire for as long as possible.Ā This isn't a story about a beautiful, tragic vampire in distress. He's cunning, dangerous, and manipulative. And around him? A bunch of powerful fighters who together could absolutely destroy one nasty true vampire from Baldur's Gate.
Tav steps into the role of a possible companion. Liv is young, principled drow who worships Eilistraee. She's a formidable fighter (Eldritch Knight/Trickster) ā but a complete novice when it comes to romance.
So the theme of the photoset isĀ clashing principles and values. Will they find a way to understand each other? Or will their story end in a fight to the death?
