#astarion deserves all the love

[comatosebunny09]

insecurities | astarion a.

summary: “why don’t you like me?” he asks, his voice small amid the symphony of the forest dwellers. you choke on your spittle. how unlike your undead friend to sound so unsure of himself.

The night is quiet.

Most of your companions have retired to their tents. Tending to their weapons, reading, sleeping.

You’re left by the fire, snapping twigs to further kindle it. You smile quietly. The atmospheric pop and fizz bring you comfort as a summery breeze slides in.

You turn away in search of more wood when you hear a weighted sigh, followed by the thunk of the log behind you.

Seems someone’s decided to impede on your party of one.

You spin around to see your favorite vampire sitting opposite you on the log, his features accentuated by the fire. Astarion watches you with a pout on his lips and his brows knit together. You snort, wholly prepared for him to complain about something.

“What’s wrong, sunshine?” you query, squatting and poking around the campfire. “Our lodgings not to your liking? You break a nail? A rat crawl up into your ass?” Your eyes crinkle with mirth. 

Astarion leans back on his hands, one leg crossed over the other. He stares at you with those petulant eyes, studying you for a beat. It’s unlike him to be so serious. Silence stretches between you for a moment longer before he asks, “Why don’t you like me?”

You nearly choke on your spittle. His brazenness floors you. Literally. You plop down on the ground, dusting off your hands, your expression bemused. “Excuse me?”

“Oh, come now.” He crosses his arms. Looks off to the side, face screwing up into a scowl. “You haven’t slept with me. You shrug off all my advances. Hells, it feels like you won’t even give me the time of day.”

Another snort. Your tone drips with sarcasm. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know I had to sleep with someone to show I cared.”

Astarion scoffs, waving a dismissive hand. “Bullshit. Have you seen me? I’m irresistible. The very definition of sex on legs, so I’ve been told. People would kill for a chance at me. And I would’ve bedded you a thousand times over, had you stopped playing hard to get.”

You sigh. Laugh a little disbelievingly, slowly standing. “Astarion—”

“I’m not your type, am I? Do you even have a type? It’s Halsin, isn’t it? That oaf of a druid.”

You caution a few steps around the fire towards him, your hands stretched out placatingly. You’re exasperated. “Astarion, look—”  

“I don’t blame you. I would’ve bedded him, too.”

“Astarion!” 

You’re in front of him now. Bent over, gathering his icy cheeks into your palms. He looks at you with confusion marring his features. You have his attention, nonetheless.  

Your eyes gloss over with wetness. A forlorn smile rounds your lips. Your chest swells with emotion, and you tuck some errant curls behind Astarion’s ear.

“I thought we knew each other better than that.” You swallow before wetting your lips. You look down at the ground, inhaling deeply. Kneel before him, taking up his hands with all the gentleness of the world, your eyes shining with the threat of tears.

“You are more than your body, Astarion. More than some fling. More than a romp in the dirt. I wish you could see that. Sex is nice. Gods, it can be such an incredible thing. But I don’t need it to know I mean something to you. And I don’t need it to show you I adore you.”

Astarion blinks. For a moment, only the two of you exist in this world of chirping crickets and crackling fire. Tenderness flashes across his face before the vampire chuckles softly, patting your hands, squeezing them. His lashes flutter. He’s breathtaking.

“You adore me, do you?” Astarion purrs, his cockiness returning tenfold. “I am rather amazing, aren’t I?” He leans back again to have a look at his nails, radiating smugness.

You snort, standing and wiping your hands on your breeches. “You just had to muck it up, didn’t you?” You can’t help the quirk of your lips as you turn back to tend to the fire.

“Darling. Who would I be if I didn’t?”

“And to think, I was just about to kiss you.”

The indignant sound Astarion releases behind you makes your ribs blossom with pride.

Ah, well. Maybe next time.

So I just realized that during the epilogue the narrator says that:

*one night, he (Astarion) tells you that these last six months of happy memories are the counterweight to two hundred years of misery*

This comes after saying (during certain dialogue choices) in act 3 that:

“Nothing can make up for that. Not even Cazador’s death.” (in reference to the year he was sealed in the tomb)

And I

just have a lot of feelings

about this man.

Astarion and his family 😭

Everytime I think about this man I cry, like imagine he is in the city just walking around and his mother sees him and she remembers him thanks to the pictures but he doesn’t. She hugs him and cries saying ‘my little star’ and he is just so confused 😩😭😭

I might draw that…👀

#I love him so much #he makes me cry so much #he just deserves the best #I wonder if his family would accept him back since he is a vampire and all. I guess depends on if he is ascended or not #his mother was a strict woman when he was a child but both his parents are very nice and caring #his father is just busy a lot so he hardly sees his family #fanart #myart #baldur’s gate 3 #astarion

[foresttt-png]

I just finished Astarion’s route… god i wish there was an option to just hug him. He deserves happiness after the literal hell he went through.

I am an emotional wreck

#i laid there for a solid 30min just staring at the ceiling after it all #he deserves the world #hes so genuine when he thanks you and tell you that he loves you #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 fanart #astarion #baldur's gate #bg3 tav #tav #tav art #art #hugs #give that man a million hugs #fanart

not a lover

Universe: Baldur’s Gate 3

Pairing: F!Tav x Astarion

Rating: I feel like it could be T but there's some mention of sex/trauma so let's just call it M

Prompt: After Astarion's confession in Act 2, Tav resigns to being his friend out of the tremendous guilt from shacking up with him in Act 1. They meet 10 years later. Fluff ensues. Basically, I wrote this to heal my own heart.

Warnings: Slight sex/SA-related trauma

Tags/Tropes: mutual pining, guilty!tav because I want to see it, astarion trying to recover from his trauma, fuck cazador, unascended/spawn astarion, i haven’t finished act 2 so I’m basing end-game astarion on the YT videos I’ve watched so be gentle.

Excerpt: “Honestly, darling, I should be insulted that you would force me to stoop to these lengths just to talk to you. This alleyway is positively filthy.”

[tieflingteatime]

it's not enough to finish Astarion's romance and quest. now I need to shower him in love and affection and only good things for the rest of his life

#astarion #baldur's gate 3 #let me marry him and give him all the soft tender love he deserves you cowards #larian i'm begging you

[quinnsanestuff]

kind of hilarious that astarion becomes a better person than he was before his undeath if you go the good route with him

#im not saying he deserved getting beaten to death #but he definetly deserved to get mugged #bro was a corrupt magistrate #i love him but lets be real #he was a little shit way before the trauma tm #it made him worse sure but we definetly wouldnt have liked his alive version #baldurs gate 3 #baldurs gate iii #wich makes his growth all the more touching #baldurs gate astarion #astarion #astarion ancunin #baldur's gate 3

[korrolrezni]

Astarion, do you know what you need? Forehead kisses, that's what!

#bg3 #Baldur's gate #baldurs gate 3 #Astarion #Asstarion #and possibly a slap to the face at times #he'd likely enjoy it and tell me do it harder #jokes aside he's slowly opening up and by gods this man deserves all the love and tender care he's been depraved of #I just want to squish the boy in a tight hug and bite Cazador's ankles

[vampiresfromxenon]

Tav x Astarion “you wear fine things well” moment WHEN.

#Tav getting Astarion nice clothes he deserves #making him feel all nice and clean and loved #giving him a silky red piece of fabric #I’m not sobbing over this shut up #where are my multi fandom people #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #bg3 astarion #baldur's gate 3 #astarion x tav #OFMD #blackbonnet

[cheekylittlepupp]

I keep telling myself that I won’t romance Astarion on my current run and I instantly fail when I progress his romance in act 2, the moment I hear his voice crack and see his teary eyes… figckycjtc..

This man deserves the world..

Maybe at playthrough number 15 I’ll romance somebody else..

Dammon x Karye 💗

"How do you push all the shadows in me away with a mere smile and bring me to stand in the sunshine once again?" - Karye

#Dammon X Karye #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #dammon #bg3 dammon #I still love you Astarion #But I love Dammon too #I normally don't go for the heart of gold quiet type #I usually end up romancing the stabby prickly brooding type #ugh he makes me feel all new again... how? #Makes me feel protected and safe #emotionally I guess #because damn he's only got 8 hp! #he deserves 88 hp at least #my sunshine #oof that sharp toothy of his in the first shot

[bananastarion]

So I get why everybody likes to imagine their good Tav influencing Astarion to be a kinder person, I live for that shit myself. But where are my opposite folks at? Who else likes to think about Astarion gradually corrupting a good tav?

#astarion #sure they started out saving the tieflings but next thing you know after the events of the game #tav is helping lure drunks for astarion to bleed dry because he prefers the blood of thinking creatures and hes always starving #he deserves only the best right? if it makes him happy #tav is stealing things to save money to help find a cure for astarions vampirism #tav is turning down helping people theyd otherwise care about because all they can focus on is their quest to help astarion #tavs love for astarion eclipses their moral compass and they start being willing to do worse and worse things just to make him happy #maybe hes the one that realizes how much tav is changing and starts to feel guilty and finally puts his foot down #even though he feels conflicted because this is all benefiting him so much #because he actually cares about them
