#DrowLivScreenshot

[juliaarnary]

A lot of people here love writing about their headcanons and OCs. Me? I prefer to just post screenshots — 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 — 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 — a follower of Eilistraee. And almost immediately, the battle begins. Over beliefs. Over desires. And over survival itself…

The protagonist and leader of the party is Astarion — doing his best to hide that he's a vampire for as long as possible. 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) — but a complete novice when it comes to romance.

So the theme of the photoset is clashing principles and values. Will they find a way to understand each other? Or will their story end in a fight to the death?

Share your plans

Thank you @catherynne-e for tagging.

I don't have any big plans, really. I'm working on a vampire romance novel, and making screenshots-based visuals for it.

Also gathering my Liv & Astarion screenshots into a Screenbook. Decided to rework some things. It's already over 200 pages.

The Ascended Lord and his obstinate ex-priestess

[juliaarnary]

He seems cruel, selfish, and insufferably pleased with himself. But underneath it all, he's relieved that Liv is safe inside his palace  — even if she keeps rebelling.

[juliaarnary]

I've put together visuals for another chapter of my fic "A Bird in a Cage". Spawn Liv has been brought back to the palace from the Underdark. The Ascended Astarion rejoices.

GrimoireTalesChallenge 7. Free theme (Caged Songbird)

"Every song must carry agony within it. Hope and despair — such beautiful notes. The wind chooses where to blow. Ripples upon the water fade and pass. So too, my little bird, shall you change — so that you may always surprise me."

[juliaarnary]

GrimoireTalesChallenge 6. Prince

And as for the one who granted her that gift… A most odious Fae Lord had set his eye on the little bird. The Unseelie Shaelydan, Catcher of Birds and Songbirds.

[juliaarnary]

GrimoireTalesChallenge 5. Otherworld

Since that time, all manner of tall tales have been spun about her. But where the truth ends and the lies begin — who can say? No one but the little bird herself. Only one thing is certain: there is no place for her among mortals.

[juliaarnary]

GrimoireTalesChallenge 4. Villain

What mortals call villainy, the Fae call a bit of fun. And the aesthetic, of course.

GrimoireTalesChallenge 3. Magical creatures

But meeting the High Fae was like leaping into an icy pool. It swallowed her whole. See, the Fae are greediest for curiosities. And here — just look at this marvel! Music blooming in the void, shimmering in all the colors of the rainbow, like dew under the sun. So they snatched the poor little thing. Here's a crown for you, little bird — fit for your head, with two sharp prongs. Here are wings, so you never have to stay in one place. Here are strong legs, to dance steps no mortal could imagine. And here's a tail — to wag before your master.
