i mentioned this briefly in my tadpolycule headcanons post but i wanted to expand on it so have a few halsin daddy kink drabbles!

Halsin nagging Astarion about his well-being and Astarion getting prickly about it. The Druid is really starting to push his buttons, riling up the vampire’s temper because how he dare he suggest that a bit of rest, a bath in the stream, and a warm meal might help him feel better? Astarion’s coping mechanisms are just fine, thank you very much.

“Why, of course I’ll do as you say, dad.”

It’s meant to be scathing but it makes Halsin’s expression soften with curious interest, taking Astarion by the waist and bringing him close.

“I don’t mean to push you, little one,” he hums, kissing the vampire’s forehead, brushing his hair back, lips finding his ear. “Would you like me to take care of you instead?”

Halsin’s question is as sweet as it is erotic, an open-ended offer that Astarion can take a run with in any direction he’d like. It’s a little overwhelming and words fail him, but he wants Halsin to keep touching him, to keep talking to him like that. It makes him feel small and delicate and safe, Halsin pulling him closer and stroking his lower back, peppering kisses all over his face until he can’t possibly maintain that pout a second longer.

“Good boy, always such a good boy for me,” Halsin babbles against his neck at some point when Astarion rolls his hips forward, grinding against his thigh. He encourages him along with kisses and low whispers of praise until the vampire is outright rutting into him, chasing his relief with labored moans.

“That’s it, come for Daddy.”

Shadowheart knows exactly what she’s doing, but doesn’t quite have the language to describe this particular kink of her’s. What she does know is that Halsin is a brutally doting lover and he encourages her to relax into that submissive space, to let him care for her and reduce her down to something small and helpless.

He’s holding her against his chest, thighs spread over his lap and soaked cunt stuffed with him. Halsin’s hands stroke tenderly through her hair, lacing the unbound locks into an intricate braid while she mewls and weakly rocks her hips.

“Hush, sweet girl,” he chides, “hold still until I’ve finished.”

Shadowheart whines but her squirming does stop as she leans forward, pressing her face against the muscle of Halsin’s chest. Her hair slips from his fingers and he huffs with annoyance at the loss of his place in her braid, but he’s quick to return to the task at hand. Always so calm and collected, it makes her want to rile him up even more.

“Are you almost done, Daddy?” She asks, voice innocent and small against his skin. She can feel his cock twitch where it’s buried inside her, feel the pleased groan reverberating through her body.

“Oak Father, preserve me,” he mutters, losing his grip on her braid once more, his hands circling almost entirely around her waist, “I am nowhere near being done with you, little dove.”

Karlach, though much smarter than most give her credit for, can be incredibly oblivious to innuendo and lacks a basic verbal filter. If it comes to her mind, she will say it without much consideration for double meanings or potential interpretation. So, when they return from a very successful mission, indulging in some celebratory wine and a bit of cuddling around the campfire, she speaks without thinking.

“Y’know, you’re some real solid Daddy material, big guy,” she’d remarked, clapping a hand on Halsin’s shoulder.

A stunned shock passed over the rest of their companions, her statement silencing the buzz of conversation. Astarion gawks at her from where he’s sprawled over Halsin’s lap, Shadowheart is biting back a wine-drunk remark, and Gale goes entirely red in the face, hiding against a stunned Wyll’s shoulder.

“What? You all saw how well he did with those pipsqueaks,” Karlach continues, looking to Halsin for reassurance that she hadn’t said something egregiously offensive by referencing his skill in soothing the group of scared children they’d encountered.

The tension breaks when Halsin laughs, rich and warm, readjusting his arms around Astarion’s waist.

“I do have some experience fulfilling that role,” he agrees with a hint of that gorgeous, wholesome grin stretching his features, “isn’t that right, little one?”

Astarion stammers, at a loss for words, cursing the way his face heats up with the remnants of his feeding, a generous helping of Halsin’s blood yesterday with a side of Wyll to tide him over just before their mission.

“Daddy asked you a question,” Shadowheart chimes in, her tone taunting and utterly bratty, unbidden and flushed by the wine she’d drank, “you really ought to answer it.”

Karlach only really begins to put the pieces together when Shadowheart worms her way into Halsin’s lap and their evening of celebration devolves into the cleric and the vampire taking turns choking on the Druid’s cock. She’ll ask Gale about it later, and he’ll spend an hour explaining to her the sexual implications and eroticization of the simple familial term.

“Is it the same for… other words?” Karlach asks, serious as a scholar. She’d taken to calling herself Mama in a joking, unserious way, but she’d noticed her goofy remarks along the lines of ‘come give Mama K some sugar’ always seemed to have an effect on Shadowheart.

“There are some who enjoy referring to their partner as Mommy or variations of it, or being called such by a partner—“ Gale starts and Karlach burst into laughter.

“By the Hells, Teach, that sure explains a lot!”

Lovers and metamours

My friend needed a visual. So here we are 💗 More info about their relationships below ↓↓

Halsin is Astarion's, Shadowheart's and Snakis' romantic partner

Astarion, Shadowheart and Snakis are metamours. They are not together

Astarion and Snakis will eventually get together, but now they just love making plans to bed Halsin together

Shadowheart and Snakis are simply friends. They do not know each other very well. They won't become partners either

Astarion and Shadowheart are really good friends (and I'm still not sure if they will try to be together as a couple or maybe just having a platonic relationship)

Halsin and Snakis have comet lover.s (not in the pic)

good morning i need halsin to go absolutely crazy over how small shadowheart is. she’s so itty bitty, so petite and slender and he’s a gentle lover, but something about her is just so breakable. maybe it causes his prey drive to flare up a little bit, having her beneath him or nestled sweetly in his lap, he can’t decide if he wants to cradle her in his arms or tear her to pieces because he could do either so easily.

calling her his little girl, his sweet bunny, his precious pet, wrapping his huge hands around every part of her body he can just to show her how small she is. telling her how tight, how good, how delicate she feels, stretching her on his fingers and tongue before she takes his cock because he has to, she’s too little to take it otherwise but he knows she can, she was made for this after all, made to take him and be his perfect little toy

[shadowstarion]

selunite shadowheart after ending her parents’ suffering not quite realizing how immense her daddy issues are. the concept of having a father isn’t something she’s ever craved until now, now that she knows she could have had that experience, felt that type of care and love. as much compassion as she has for the orphaned children halsin has rounded up, there’s a pang of sick jealousy each time she sees them crowded around him, holding his hands or pleading to be picked up.

in all that time she believed herself an orphan, and now that she truly is one, when had she ever received such kindness? such tender love that only a father figure could provide? there’s a guilt that underlies it too— shar should have been enough. now, selune’s embrace should be more than enough to sate her parental longing.

she finds herself falling into step at halsin’s side, wrapping three of her fingers around one of his. she doesn’t protest when her feet ache and he offers to carry her, letting her facade of self-sufficiency slip away. she can’t refuse when he wakes her so gently from a horrid dream, insisting that he’d hold her through the night until peaceful sleep found her.

shadowheart feels weak and small next to him, but not in a bad way that makes her feel degraded or insignificant. when they’re scouting or traveling together, her mind goes quiet and everything fades away that isn’t his guidance or gentle instruction, his hand tugging her back by the waist just before she stumbles over a protruding root, his voice calling her to come admire at a particularly pretty flower or a cute animal sleeping in the meadow.

halsin, so used to interacting with the displaced children that he barely notices his slip up when shadowheart asks him for help and he replies “in just a moment, little one”

just a quick sketch before sleep 💗💤

needed something sweet

[shadowstarion]

hello tumblr user shadowstarion you have given me the shadowhalsin brainrot and I would love to hear any thoughts you have on them

shadowhalsin is genuinely an infection im addicted to them!!!! I have so many thoughts I could tap about them forever so here’s a little selection

- poly legends. halsin is perfect for shaddy’s whole “short-term flings” thing.

- as much as shadowheart wants to see the shadow curse lifted, she’s still a sharran and spouts the most ridiculous dogmatic shit or makes snarky comments any time halsin has something to say about her goddess. maybe she likes watching halsin lose his cool a bit

- part of the reason halsin likes her is the fact that despite being a sharran, she does want to help lift the curse and genuinely cares about the land, animals, and children being effected by it

- halsin notices the little threads of rebellion and doubt and is actively seeking to tug on them and pull her into the light

- shadowheart ultimately rejecting shar is the turning point in their relationship — the shift from “bratty playful teasing and occasional stress-relief sex” to shadowheart being truly lost and halsin opening his arms to her

- he kisses her stigmata and promises they’ll find an end to it together just as they did the shadow curse

- post-game, halsin has a little bit of internal conflict when it comes to her; she’s far younger than him, orphaned, having just escaped the oppression of a goddess, relying on him for care and stability— what makes her any different than the children that he’s taken responsibility for? is it okay to be intimate with her when he also has strange protective/parental feelings toward her?

- the answer is yes because shadowheart desperately craves that sort of dynamic in a partner and has brutal daddy issues. she eats up his praise and care and will jokingly call him daddy until it becomes abundantly clear that it isn’t a joke anymore

- size difference. holy shit the size difference. it makes halsin go feral. she’s so small and soft and he wants to wrap himself around her and claim her over and over again until she’s ruined for anyone else

- all the petnames. his little dove, his sweet lamb, his precious lily, his angel, his moonbeam, etc. and of course Halsin’s favorite— my heart. ouuugh. so possessive when he calls her that

- watching one another care for the children makes them mutually insane. shadowheart is kneeling by a little tiefling boy and promising his scuffed elbow will get better right away, soothing a healing spell over it and even giving it a kiss for good measure. halsin is standing across their camp watching like “oak father restrain me i need to get her pregnant”
