🎃 Pumpkin Season 🎃

I doubt Astarion ever gets completely used to you sleeping beside him. You, a fool, happily lays beside a creature that only knows blood and death. A mouse that steps into the jaws of a cat and expects them not to close.

And yet, there you are. You sleep soundly beside him, you reach for him in your dreams, you sigh happily when you holds you.

He doesn’t believe it most days. He touches your wrist to feel your pulse thump slow and steady beneath his thumb. He rests a hand against your chest to feel the rise and fall of your lungs beneath your ribs. His fingers slip beneath your sleep shirt just to feel the warmth of you, to watch you wiggle away from his chilled touch, to hear your sleepy grouse.

An alive thing lays beside him. Flesh and bone, muscle and fat. You.

You’re a fool, he knows it as do you. But you’re his fool and that thought makes his old, dead heart do something similar to beat, just a little.

I don’t agree with a lot of fandom takes on astarion but some of my favorites are the ones that recognize that he’s such a whiny little bitch. not to invalidate his character, he’s obviously got genuine emotions, trauma, and issues, but he’s also a petty little ass who will moan for an hour and a half about shadowheart healing him two minutes too slow. complains about his feet 10 minutes into a march. discovers mosquitoes and is immediately sent into a murderous rage by two (2) mosquito bites.

that man has a high pain tolerance and an absolute zero mild discomfort tolerance

Gotta say, BG3 really knocked it out of the park on murderous, evil, bastards with the biggest, wettest, saddest, eyes
