Hello! May I request an Astarion x (GN or Fem) Tav fic where Tav really wants to go take a swim after they leave the Shadow Lands. Astarion reluctantly agrees, only to end up really enjoying their alone time together. I can imagine them being a little cuddly while soaking up the sun and enjoying the cool water after being trapped in the darkness. Thank you! 💕
Yeeeessss!! Okay, okay, got it set right before Baldur's Gate, and right after the Shadow lands with just a lot of comfort and fluff :)
Word Count: 806
Content: Astarion/GN!Tav, fluff, swimming, comfort, just over all good fluff time, mixed with a bit of light angst at the beginning, very light, just normal brood thoughts-
Astarion gives a small stretch as they step back into the sun-kissed lands right outside of Baldur’s Gate. Staring at the city before them, with the Chionthar peaking right near their camp- there was no denying that this was… actually peaceful. Compared to the Shadowlands, this was- a breath of fresh air as it were. Though, the decadence of actually being back in the city, was something Astarion still found himself looking forward to- actual comfort. No more bedrolls, or tents. He gives an internal chuckle at the thought of actually being able to live whatever is the rest of their lives in relative comfort.
Though he also knows what he’s going to be facing again. Cazador. Who would no doubt be looking forward to getting his hands on him. The city now looking much more like a stone trap, than comfort-
When his ears twitch, picking up the trot of someone behind him as he leans against the cliff face overlooking the city, he turns to see Tav. Bright faced, and smiling at him- Gods- he still doesn’t understand how someone manages to be this chipper-
“Hey, Star, um, I was just wondering if you’d maybe want to- go for a swim with me? Just take a little break before-” They gesture to the view of the city waving their hand over it as if trying to smudge it out, “all that, and after-” Tav turns behind them gesturing towards the Shadow Cursed lands, “All that… I feel like we could both use just a second of peace.” Tav purses their lips trying to read his expression. In which Astarion lets out a bit of a laugh, chuckling and raising an eyebrow at them.
“Swimming, now? Here?” He doesn’t mean to sound condescending, but he can’t really keep the scorn out of his voice. Now’s not really the time. They’re staring down the edge of their possible deaths, and they want to go for a swim? It’s laughable at best-
“You know, you don’t have to be so stuck up.” Tav shoots back, coming to stand next to him, and jabbing a finger into his chest. “If anything, just come down to the river bank with me. You don’t have to swim, you can brood while I have fun~” Astarion looks at Tav a bit surprised, and he guffaws, a chuckle passing his lips.
“Fine, lead on my dear, but only because I’d hate to see you get washed away~” His tone slowly ebbing from distaste to amusement. He gives a slight bow, but Tav grabs his hand, starting to pull him down to the lower river valley. When they arrive down there, the sun basking against the wet river rocks, and long grass with the river churning along in wide swaths. It feels more akin to a large lake than a river at this point. He watches as Tav disrobes, setting the clothes down, and chuckles slightly to himself as he watches them slowly step into the water.
Astarion sits down on a patch of grass, leaning against one of his legs as he watches Tav splash about… and float… and he purses his lips. Tav looks… really relaxed. He swallows thickly… debating with himself. Relationships… really weren’t his forte… healthy ones. But there’s something pulling at him, telling him that… this would be- good.
Slowly he stands up disrobing his own clothes. Before slowly wading out into the cool water alongside Tav. As the water slips around his calves and he starts to dip down, Tav perks up seeing Astarion finally join them. Their face lighting up in a grin.
“Glad to see you decided to join me.” They call out, deciding to swim closer to him, as Astarion dips beneath the currents shuddering lightly.
“Well I couldn’t let you have all the fun now could I, my dear?” He chuckles a bit as Tav swims within reach, and he wraps his arms around them pulling them close as he leans back in the water. Floating with them… this had been one of his favorite things to do recently, just hold them. No other expectations, just being together.
The sun is just beginning to creep behind the horizon by the time they leave the water. Laying in the grass together and looking towards the sky.
“That was… nice…” Astarion murmurs, pulling Tav into the crook of his arm, as he stares up at the clouds fading to the inky black of night, the ground still warm from the heat blasted into the dirt from earlier in the day. Keeping their chilled bodies warm. “We should… do this, again..” He presses his nose to Tav’s wet hair, holding them close as he hears a giggle pass from Tav.
“You know… I think that's a good plan for the future..” Tav murmurs out.
What about I little Drabble about how Gale, Astarion and/or Halsin would take care of a sick female Tav?? Like the flu or something like it not anything too serious. I would think super fluffy type things.

Fluuuuuuuuuuff!
Yes, absolutely let's get into it! Gonna say it's taking place post game- Gale/F!Tav in Waterdeep. Astarion/F!Tav at a base they set up in the Underdark. Halsin/F!Tav in a homestead they're setting up in the now healed Rethewin town.
Gale
From down the hallway Gale can hear a racket of coughing coming from the study even with the door shut. Carefully making his way down the hall, he opens the door peeking into see Tav rubbing at her face. flushed as she sits in one of the cozier chairs he has set up... he shuts the door gently- before getting to work on the best accommodations he knows-
It's not long before he returns to the library, Tav still sniffling in the chair as she tries to read over her book, and Gale gives a soft cough announcing himself, "My love, would you please come with me for just a moment?" His face quirks into a soft smile as he holds out his hand for her. Tav reluctantly takes his hand stumbling a bit, to which he just wraps his arm around her waist steadying her.
"What's this all about Gale?" Though there's a teasing lilt to her voice, it's clear it's hoarse.
"Oh nothing. Just a little something to make you feel better." He muses, as he guides her out of the study towards their room. When they walk in- the spread he set up-
A second comfortable duvet. A tray filled with his homemade beef stew, fresh bread sitting next to it. On one of the nightstands, a cup of tea sitting idly. As well as a small bowl of potpourri to clear the sinus'. Curtains drawn, small candles lit about so as to not cause a headache as he guides her to bed helping her change into something much more comfortable before laying her down.
"I'm just ensuring that you are well-taken care of. Rest for the day my love, and let me know if there's anything at all I can do for you." He presses a kiss to her forehead, before setting a bell next to her. "Ring when you need me, I'll be here in a moment."
Astarion
As Astarion makes his way down to the mess hall, he jolts at the sound of hacking bouncing off the stone walls. His face pulls into a frown as he starts to look around to see where in the Hells it's even coming from. Before seeing Tav on her hands and knees, peering off a cliff hunched, a soft groan emanating from her direction.
"Darling, are you quite... alright?" He cocks an eyebrow carefully dreading forward, as Tav heaves into the crevice- panting lightly-
"Do I look like I'm alright?" Tav's voice is hoarse, and Astarion just heaves a sigh, coming up behind her and lifting her up.
"Gods, you'd be useless without me wouldn't you?" He chuckles a bit as he takes Tav back to where they have their own little area set up, laying her down on the bed, before tossing fur after fur to her-
"Cover yourself up- I'll go see what I can't find you for a decent meal- around here." Astarion muses before he turns to look at Tav, who is now sitting firmly beneath what could've once been a whole pack of wolves. Looking near crushed beneath the pelts. A soft smile comes to his face, as he walks over brushing some hair behind her ear. "Just relax for a while, I'll be back soon." Before Tav has any chance to protest, he takes off.
When he returns, a backpack slung over his shoulder, walking into their cozy spot. Astarion can't help the laugh that leaves him- Tav's out-
Sitting up in bed, layed back on the copious amount of furs, with a small trail of droll coming from her lip as she snores.
Depositing the bag on the ground, he walks over to their bed and crawls in next to her, resting her head against his shoulder, pressing his lips to her head and breathing her in.
"Gods, you're lucky you're cute..."
Halsin
Halsin walks back up to the little homestead he and Tav had set up, admiring his new herbal garden. Place still had a long ways to go before it is fully established- and once that's done- they'll move on to somewhere else. As soon as Thaniel and Oliver are fully set that is. He hums lightly to himself as he lets himself in the front door, "Darling I've returned- oh-"
Tav is laying in a little ball on the rug, gripping her stomach as the sun beams phase in through the windows, as he's greeted with a soft, incomprehensible moan of discomfort.
" Well, let's get you up, shall we?" He chuckles lightly, striding over to Tav, before hoisting her in his arms and walking her to the door outside towards the well he had established. "Some cool water first, then I'll see what I have in my stores for any nausea-" He sets her down next to the well, resting her back against the stones, as he pulls up a bucket of water. Before setting it next to her, and carefully ladles some of the cool water into her mouth, and drips it down her forehead, causing the girl to shiver a bit earning him a mumbled-
"Thanks..." he shakes his head a bit, a smile on his face. This was his job for how long. He knows how to take care of someone who feels in the pits. Before he rises going over to his herbs and pulling stems and leaves off of the different planets. Before walking back over, and popping open her jaw. Sticking in a mint spring.
"There we are, should help with the nausea for now-" He hoists her back into his arms, taking her back inside, before laying her in their bed. Covering her with a blanket, so she can sweat out the worst parts of the fever. He quick bends down, pressing a kiss to her cheek brushing her hair back. "I'll be back with some tea here soon, should help with most of the symptoms.. then with any luck you'll be well on your way again." He lets out a deep chuckle, as he watches Tav snuggle into the blankets, mumbling to herself.
Shadowheart with a fem!tav (bonus points if she’s a Selunite), they’re getting down, and Shadowheart is fingering her and condescendingly saying “oh I know darling” or whatever pet name fits.
Could be headcanons or one shot, fine with any
Let's gooooo- we appreciate some bitchy Shadowheart in this house.
We'll go head cannon, mini paragraph route for this one-
MDNI, Explicit Content, NSFW, 18+
~"Oh I know darling, you Selunites just don't know how to take a bit of pain do you?"~
Shadowheart enjoy's stringing along Tav for hours. Whispering to them all the while teasing and toying with her body. Finger's working over her clit in deliciously slow circles, right until she's on the brink of paradise, before pulling away.
Her fingers instead trailing lower, curling inside her heat changing the tune. As Shadowhearts lips met Tav's swallowing any desperate plea that might escape from them.
~"Surely, you can keep enduring such sweet torment, can't you pup?"~
Once Shadowheart allows Tav to cross that line, to be trembling and shaking in her release. Leg's clenched tightly around Shadowheart's hand. She changes her playing field. After all- this is what Tav had wanted right? To indulge in the pleasure's of the body? To be left shivering, helpless beneath her?
Shadowheart would continue to draw that pleasure out of Tav over and over- prying her legs open and dropping her head down. Tongue lavishing over the sensitive lips. Revealing in the sound of Tav's cries, legs wrapped around her head, Tav's hands strained and pulling at her hair to remove her.
~"That's it cry to your lady, I assure you- it's falling on deaf ears."~
Only when Tav's face is running with the silver makeup she had adorned to show her worship Selune, and her voice is nothing but pitiful whimpers and whines, incomprehensible mush falling from bruised lips- a boneless body left jolting and jerking from Shadowhearts movements- would she pull away.
Coming back-up to her face, and indulging her with her own sweet taste. Before brushing her hair behind her ear. AAs Tav's eyes flutter shut-
~"That's it... slip to the dark, such a wonderful distraction."~
Ive posted this before but: when I am high, I get incredibly horny.
But, my body gets pretty numb and getting off is next to impossible.
So of course I’m thinking nasty thoughts about poor Tav who is so horny they’re going to explode but just can’t finish with their poor, worn out chosen romanced companion

what is the rest of the party’s response/reaction to catstarion/druid!tav x astarion sort of mildly being a thing?
I generally think it would be mostly positive!
I already touched on Gale being thrilled to see his friends happy. This man is a hopeless romantic at heart, so seeing Tav and Astarion happy only serves to cheer him up - it probably even gives him some hope he will be happy one day too, even if he has to admit to himself that that won't be with you.
Karlach loses her mind when she sees the two of you cuddled up together both in human form and especially as cats when Gale finally agrees to polymorph Astarion again. It is no secret that she adores Astarion as a friend (I think they relate so much to one another's trauma) and wants to see him happy, so the fact it is with another of her closest friends just makes her burst with excitement daily. She would defo third wheel a lot unintentionally.
Shadowheart, Lae'zel and Wyll would probably be a bit indifferent to it all, if not slightly confused at how their 'tree-hugging' leader decided to saddle up with the spawn of all people. Seeing him satiated and content assures them to some degree that he can be trusted, however, so it is generally a win-win for all. Shadowheart would be lying if she said she didn't sometimes smile to herself at the sight of you curled up in his lap while he sewed, though.
Halsin just wants in on it all and you know it ;')
