@corvusregards asked ; "You’re not pretending anymore." (from Zevran)

𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐱 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬. it's felt like a lifetime , these six days , but likely because he's done little else but spend every waking hour that he can in the company of zevran. such a chance meeting indeed , gazes found in adjacent boxes of the theatre of an evening. perhaps astarion had lingered slyly in hopes to catch him. golden haired and honey-eyed , and a smile that could make devils blush.

work had become such an irritating distraction , instead of the usual matter of business. all his time away from it spent taking walks along the wide , arm in arm with zevran to look at all the trinkets on offer , or in lower city taverns drinking their cares away to the sounds of much less sophisticated entertainment. all six of those nights had zevran stayed at his apartment , and such playful passions ensued on all but one of them. that night astarion had just slept next to him , wine drunk and content. how novel.

today they had crossed paths while he'd spoken with his colleagues in the sunshine out in the plaza , and he'd been happy to introduce him. more than happy , in fact , for astarion cannot escape the truth ---- infatuation had never been so easy. and so now that they sit here , on the balcony of his lavish apartment , soaking up the last of the evening sun before it retreats below the horizon. at those words , astarion's head turns a slight , but still remains upon his shoulder.

' whatever was i pretending about in the first place , my sweet? '

Six days. For six days he has been spending time, time he could be using on other contracts, with a man he was supposed to kill six days ago. Six days of what might have been called a whirlwind courtship in those silly books that spoke of romance and little of the realities of the world.

Six days that, for once, Zevran allowed himself to indulge in that silliness. It has been almost like a quiet vacation from his normal life, a life of sex and killing, and more sex and then a lot of wine to numb the affects of the previous two. It's not as if he doesn't enjoy his job, though the taking of a life isn't the enjoyable part for him, but there are times he wonders if a different life could be possible for him.

Especially after that night where they had done nothing but slept beside each other, limbs entwined and sweet murmurs passed between them. It's a night that almost felt real, and one that he has not been able to shake from his mind.

"You know what I mean..." Zevran says with a playful tease in his voice. But Astarion had introduced Zevran to his friends, and that is the thing that felt like it could make all this fantasy crash down. Tonight is the night he had intended on finishing his contract... or perhaps tomorrow night, or the next... but now there are people who know his name, his face, and his connection to the magistrate.

If he fails this contract, he knows what awaits him when he returns to his House. And yet, he cannot remember a time when it has been so tempting, or a time when he'd seriously considered doing just that.

"I am not an ignorant man, me querido Estrella. You introduced me to your friends today... that is a step towards something more serious, is it not?" He asks, curiosity lighting his honey-amber eyes as he leans against the balcony railing.

A T Z (from the 'A-Z smut headcanon prompts') - @thedasguarded

A-Z Smut Headcanons || Always Accepting

A - Affection: How affectionate are they during sex? Is it different with people they're romantically involved with? Can they sleep with people they aren't?

Zevran is extremely affectionate, but there is definitely a difference in how he is affectionate depending on if he's with a lover or a target (the two are not mutually exclusive). With targets, his affections are practiced, the sort of words and touches you'd expect from a romance novel, designed to totally relax and distract his mark. When he's with a target, he leans into being the one in control, wanting to make sure he always has the upper hand. But with a lover, he drops all those pretenses. His words are more natural, less practiced, and much more from the heart as they are peppered with pants and moans. He will surrender control to a lover where he won't with a target, though if him being in control is what his lover wants he will do so. There's a lot more checking in with his lovers as well, as he's actually concerned with their well being. He absolutely can sleep with people he is not romantically involved with, and more often than not that is the way of it for him. He keeps his heart guarded, mostly to protect himself as well as people who want to be close to him. In his older years, he is more open to romance falling into his lap, though he isn't so much looking for it himself necessarily.

T - TMI: Your opportunity to talk about any dirty thing you want to talk about with your muse. Could be kinks they like or just facts.

Uhhh... I can't really think of anything so I'll go ahead and list his kinks and his general "yespls" list

Knife play, bondage, whips, body worship, oral, frottage, semi-public sex, voyeurism, being praised, being dominant, being submissive, manhandling, brat taming, hair pulling, one-night-stands, roleplay, and a combination of any and all of the above

Z - Zones: Favorite places they like to be touched? Are some less obvious than others? Any places they absolutely hate being touched?

His ears. His ears are very, very sensitive and he loves to have them touched, caressed, kissed, licked, nibbled on... but only with someone he is very comfortable with. If someone he doesn't like or doesn't know tries to touch his ears, he won't hesitate to slice a finger off. Other very erogenous zones for Zevran include his inner thighs, his neck and jaw, where his ass cheeks meet his thighs, he's big on having his balls fondled/licked/sucked. And it's always pretty obvious when he's flustered and turned on by a touch, he's not afraid of letting his lover know either.

@thedasguarded asked

"Zevran?!" The elf in question would have only the time it took for Alistair to close the short distance in long, eager strides. He swept his old comrade into a bear-hug, even lifting Zevran a little off the ground. Alistair couldn't help it; he'd needed some form of joy too dearly to bother with reservation. "I knew I recognized those tattoos! Andraste's mercy, but it's good to see you," Alistair sighed with a broad smile, setting Zevran down and taking a step back, hands on his own hips. "What brings you all the way to Skyhold?"

The elf hardly had time to think when he heard a very familiar voice behind him, and then he was scooped up into a tight and powerful embrace. A laugh was let out, though, as he returned the embrace before being set down when he shortly realized who that familiar voice had belonged to.

"Alistair, my friend! It is good to see you as well." Zevran said, bright smile on his face as he looked to the human with his bright amber eyes.

"I am here on... personal business, I suppose you could say, and leave it at that. But, I was hoping to run into you while I was in town."

Of course, he expected the other man to question exactly what personal business a former-Crow would have in Skyhold, and he fully intended to use that as an opening for shared drinks and to 'catch up' for old time's sake.

He did not want to let on that the personal business he was there, for, was a contract he had heard about being taken out on his old friend. Zevran could not let that stand, especially as he knew the Grandmaster who held the contract; one that had been on his list of targets within the Crows for some time.

❛ wink . wink at my muse . ( @shadowofthetalons )

"Did you injure your eye?" Viago asked dryly, well aware of exactly what the ex-Crow was attempting.

But that didn't matter. Zevran's past only mattered in terms of his capability, and Viago was well aware of the elf's impact on the Blight in Ferelden years ago. In a time when there were far greater traitors among the Crows, traitors with the audacity to still call themselves Crows even as they betrayed Antiva, Viago would gladly take the aid of a man who had been honest enough to leave and never return.

Until now.

"Twitching eye aside, I hope it's capable of seeing what lies ahead of us - of you, mostly. Most people don't leave the Crows. And no one has ever returned before."

shadowofthetalons

"No, no injury. Although there is a vision of a handsome man from Salle stuck in there." The elvhen man said with a wide grin, head tilted so the side as he looked over his fellow Antivan.

Oh, Viago was going to be a tough egg to crack, Zevran could already tell. A challenge he was more than happy to take on, but he knew better than to push too far, especially as the Master of Poisons very much held the fate of the former Crow in his hands.

"Well, I have never been one to disappoint in my ability to surprise and go against the expected norms, as you most certainly know." Zevran said, his eyes scanning the office at the top of the Diamond where they were holding this back-and-forth negotiation on Zevran's potential return to roost, so to speak.

"And I would hope that my skills will prove my capability for whatever challenges I may face. Antiva, even if I have not set foot within her borders these past two decades, is still my home, and will always be. I would risk my life to protect her from tyrants, as I have been doing so in my culling of the Grandmasters. I doubt there are many of them you have personally mourned."

Zevran had seen no reason to be coy over what it is he has been up to the past two decades. The Black Shadow may not have been a title he chose for himself, but it had been one he had earned, taking out those he thought were corrupting the faction and twisting it far beyond their roots.
