Day 2: Amrod

[theelvenhaven]

Amrod Admitting His Feelings for You

- Amrod is a simple ellon who prefers routine and is incredibly stubborn despite how laid back and relaxed he seems.

- So honestly when Amrod begins to notice that he has feelings for you, he’s going to sideline them for a bit.

- The very idea of your relationship changing and it switching up the nature and routine of it all is rather intimidating.

- But Amrod does nothing to hint to you that his feelings have changed in the slightest for you, and keeping everything very low key and natural. That way he doesn’t cause any unnecessary distress while he is figuring out his own feelings for you.

- Amrod thoroughly takes his time in exploring how he feels for you, taking the time to look at each interaction as well as you and seeing how you take his reactions.

- He wants to make sure that you too like him as well before he makes the dive into a relationship with you, and once Amrod is sure that you like him too, that is when he will take action to confess his feelings for you. 

- Amrod will have discussed his feelings for you with his twin brother, gaining a pep talk out of it- which he is grateful for all of the support in such a daunting endeavor.

- But that also means he gains a slew of unsolicited advice on how he should confess his feelings for you, all of which he shoots down.

- Amrod waits until it’s just the two of you before he confesses anything you, certainly not about to spill out his feelings in front of any of his siblings.

- He’s not one to exactly hang all over you, but Amrod will be walking or sitting far closer to you than normal.

- Gently he will take your hand in his, making sure his grip is just loose enough you can pull away from him if he gauged you incorrectly.

- Letting the reaction settle between you both, continuing on in silence before he finally opens his mouth to address the sudden change in friendly affections to romantic affections.

- “Y/N, I have noticed my feelings for you have grown to be more romantic. If you’d have me I’d like to court you.” 

- Amrod keeps it very simple, not wanting to complicate it with fancy words and give a long winded speech feeling that things just need to be stated and asked as is.

- When you accept his feelings, Amrod is very happy, wearing a smile on his face and taking the moment alone to lean forward and press a kiss to your lips.

My biggest writing pitfall: eliminating turns of phrases that make sense in reality, but not in DnD. Ancient Greece? Never heard of her. Trains??? What's that? Astarion certainly doesnt know.

Totally forgot to mention that I finally updated my fic lol.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

hey ok so. how does one actually pronounce Iedhelaran? i've been having the text to speech function on my phone read fic to me while i recover from an eye injury, and i'm assuming siri is just mangling the name

I've always pronounced as 'ed - hell - are - ahn' in my head, but my beta does 'yed - hell - ah - rahn' and I personally like her pronunciation more, so I go with my beta's version of it.

Hiiiii! Just wanted to pop in and say I really love your fics, especially A Warm House, A Ruddy Fire and How Shall I Ye Ken. You write Astarion really well, and I've reread your fics multiple times while waiting for the updates (don't rush them though! Life and health comes first!). Just wanted to let you know. Hope you have a great day :)

Thank you so much :D and I'll be sure to pass it on to my beta/cowriter @leomonae !
