Tav / reader / whoever goes to confront Minthara and realize that she is also a victim of the absolute / brainwashed and tries to connect to her but fails and is killed by her or a stray arrow from one of the goblins. Bonus points if this is the Tav’s first brush with death and dealing with that after they are revived via scroll or withers.
Bonus bonus points if the budding love interest is there to react to the sudden death.
Picture this: playing a normal Tav and encountering Durge's body in Orin's bedroom.
You are able to revive him.
Now you have an evil durgonbern to help you with Orin, Gortash, and the Absolute. He's pissed things went off the rails and may be able to be talked down from following through with the plan with Ketheric dead. Or he believes you should take his place.
May be a case of villain falling for hero. May be a case of hero falling for villain.
All you know is that as the one who brought him back, you are off limits to everyone in his cult.
Even better if you can access him in Moonrise in Bonedaughter's room instead and he helps take down Ketheric due to him allowing Durge to be attacked.
Would you write male tav x ascended astarion content? I feel a little shy requesting specific stuff tbh..
I like fluff, pampering, and smut...
*sinks back into chair*
I love your blog ❤️
I tend to write in gender-neutral to allow any reader to fill in the blanks, nothing leaning one way or another. I know there are a lot of GN stories out there that have certain genitalia or body parts described but I avoid that altogether. I do GN by definition, free of explicit or implicit reference to gender or sex, that way everyone can have fun. It's rare for me to break from this formula.
Now, there have been times that I have accommodated height, and with something like BG3, I may bring that back due to both larger and shorter races considering the game does that as well. If not specified, I'm probably going to think that the PC is going to be at eye level with the character in question.
I can do smut, but that usually takes me longer than normal requests. Lightning has to pretty much strike me to be able to churn something out so soon and I probably aim for my days off for those kinds of requests. I'm ace as hell but I have been told I can write some pretty hot stuff in past fandoms. XD
If you have an idea in mind of what you'd like, toss it to me and I'll see what I can do! Don't be shy! I may bite, but that's rare too.
Thank you X3 I hope you have fun here!
Could you imagine Astarion's reaction when he realizes he's naturally turned on by something? I'd imagine it would send him into a panic at first since it clicks in his head that this is the first time in a very long time that something like this has happened. For a moment, he has no idea what to do or how to handle it. Once he gets over the initial panic, he just wanders up behind Tav, takes their hand, and starts pulling them toward a secluded place, muttering under his breath about needing to "see" them for "something".
No cheesy romance lines or him trying to impress them to coax them to do something for him. He's quiet for the most part, wanting to focus on this feeling and if Tav tries to talk to him, he quiets them with a kiss as his hands start to wander places and he grinds into them, sending a clear message of what he wants.
Tav, noting the difference, especially the detail of him closing his eyes where he normally watches for their reaction, will allow themselves to submit or be guided into what he wants, even offering him their neck which, oddly, he doesn't touch. They can tell this was an important event for him and try not to pull away or upset him by trying something different. This wasn't about them, after all.
This does not mean he neglects them, no. He does keep them in mind despite how emotional this could be for him, though Tav may not be bothered by it if he didn't this one time.
Both Tav and Astarion may come away from this seeing stars and a deeper connection with how different this felt from previous times.
What if the breaking point for Durge when it comes to Gortash is learning he’s responsible for selling Karlach to Zariel. They where always vaguely aware of Gortash’s “dealings” with the infernal, but they never knew Gortashs victims personally. Karlach is basically family.
This can go two ways.
Yeah, there's the obvious that Durge would shut down Gortash every chance they get because he hurt Karlach. If he's willing to do that to her, why would they trust him not to do that to them? They're not even entirely sure he didn't know what happened to them and just pretended not to when face to face with them.
Then there's the idea that Durge, starting to recover their memories and upon learning of what Gortash did for a living, would tell Karlach that she basically trusted a snake not to bite by willingly working for him. She knew what he was about and what he did, and it was her job to protect him. It was her only job and since there really isn't anything saying she did it to make ends meet (you'd think she'd be more weary of him otherwise, knowing his profession and not having a choice in her job), it sounds like she was all for it. She miscalculated her worth to him and, like Gortash points out when he chides her, she thought she was above the rules. (In hindsight, that could be WHY he did what he did to her; she was getting too friendly with him, and he didn't like it).
Durge may continue doing business with Gortash to be able to move about the city more easily, leaving Karlach's revenge in her own hands. They can tell her that "Gortash and I stay out of each other's business, as you can see with how I was handled. If something from his past comes back and bites him in the ass, all I can do is stand there and watch", which will put it in Karlach's head that Gortash would get a taste of his own medicine if she went after him and he doesn't get assistance from Durge who just stood back and watch, a literal interpretation of Gortash's attitude toward what happened to the Durge.
A!Astarion: *on his knees, bent over with his arms wrapped around his stomach and his face in a bucket* ... ... ... *groans* That was ghastly...
Tav: *sitting next to him, rubbing his back* I told you to drink water between your alcohol. And not to mix it. And not to let your appetite get the best of you. You are not used to your new form yet or your cravings.
A!Astarion: *whines* I can't help it...
Tav: You're going to have to. You're acting as if you're pregnant with the way you're eating.
A!Astarion: *bolts straight up with a horrified expression* Dear Gods! That's not possible-! *pauses and side-eyes Tav* ... ... ... Is it?
Tav: *stares blankly* No, Astarion, you're not pregnant, just getting your ass handed to you for not heeding warnings about your new form. Besides, unless it's surrounded in Netherese magic, I don't think anything can survive that amount of alcohol...
A!Astarion: *sighs in relief* Good.
Tav: *rolls eyes up in thought* Then again, we really don't know anything about your new form, so...
A!Astarion: TAV, I SWEAR-! *proceeds to vomit once more into the bucket with Tav patting his back*
Tav: There, there... So do you think it's mine or Halsin's? *grins at the low growl* Mine it is!
Karlach: Hey Tav/Valerian. Truth or dare?
Tav/Val: Dare.
Karlach: Oooh! Didn't even give it a second thought! Okay, I dare you to make Gale blush.
Tav/Val: Easy-
Karlach: But you have to keep your clothes on this time.
Tav/Val: *looks in Gale's direction to see him sitting in front of his tent reading then back* ... ... ... Fine.
Gale: *Doesn't look up from his book when their shadow falls on him* What can I do for you, my friend?
Tav/Val: Is this seat taken?
Gale: *smiles but still doesn't tear his eyes away from the page* By all means- *pats the ground next to him. Instead of sitting where he indicated, Tav/Valerian crawls onto his lap and turns to sit with their back against his groin and their head against his chest, looking at the book he was looking through. Gale's eyes widen in shock, his jaw dropping as they settle in, his face growing redder by the second, and he ends up covering it with both hands when Tav/Val looks up at him innocently."
Tav/Val: Whatcha reading?
Gale: *muffles through his hands something no one can understand*
Karlach: *snaps her fingers when they grin in her direction* Damn, I should have chosen Astarion...
Astarion: *appears next to her, arms crossed with a smirk* Yes, you should have, but this is endlessly funnier. >B3c The wizard is not going to be able to look them in the eye after this! (Round 2)
Tav wakes to a massive black bear pawing its way into their tent after it wanders into their camp early in Act 1, perhaps in the first couple of nights. Stricken with fear at the sight of the large creature and unable to move or call out to anyone, they wholeheartedly believe that they are going to die. The bear suddenly lets out a loud whine as it's violently ripped backward out of the tent with such force.
They swear that they could almost hear someone growling among the bear's snarling, saying something along the lines of "needing them alive". Tav can't tell if it was their imagination or not, but it sounds like Astarion. Impossible, they thought. Astarion is nowhere near strong enough to handle a bear... right?
Once their fear subsides, Tav cautiously exits their tent only to find blood staining the ground and leading toward the woods. The bear and whoever pulled it from the tent are nowhere in sight. Deep groves in the ground and huge paw prints illuminated by moonlight reassure Tav that this event had really happened. A bear was definitely present. Glancing over at Astarion's tent yields no clues as it looks as dark as their other companion's. Unable to glean anything from the surrounding area and not wanting to see what became of the bear, lest it returned, Tav goes back into their tent and tries to go back to sleep/meditate.
Adrenalin pumps through their veins even an hour or so later, causing sleep to be uneasy. The sound of the tent flap shifting makes Tav seize up and fall still with their back to it. It was too quiet to be the bear again. They briefly feel a pair of eyes on them before hearing the flap move again, followed by quiet footsteps moving away. Tav fights the urge to jump up to see who it is and forces themselves to stay still. There was no indication that the presence was one of their companions and could still pose a threat.
Once morning comes, Tav wakes with very little sleep in their system and leaves their tent to see the extent of the attack. Their companions express bewilderment at the tracks and blood around Tav's tent. It is then that Tav realizes everyone except Astarion is standing around, questioning the situation. Instead, he's walking back to his tent from the river, already in his armor. Over his arm are his camp clothes, damp from washing them in the water. He hangs them on the top of his tent to dry before turning in Tav's direction. The solemn, knowing stare he gives them as he pulls out a book causes them to tense up.
... How...?
Tav approaches him once Gale decides it's best to put down a barrier around the camp to prevent a repeat of a wild animal wandering in, and the rest of the companions disperse. Astarion pleasantly greets them and acknowledges the mess but doesn't comment past that he's grateful that Tav is unharmed, though they can't tell if he's serious or not. When pushed, his voice takes on a serious tone as he gets irritated with the questioning, indicating he and Tav are not on good enough terms.
"Perhaps some things are best left unsaid. For now. We have other, more pressing matters to deal with, Darling."
