    Summary

    The decision to attend Waterdeep Comic Con during the Midwinter holiday had been intentional. Astarion had assumed that everyone – his overbearing (if well-meaning) friends, his manager, and his psychotic ex – would leave him alone so that he could work in peace. He’d been wrong. On the heels of one of the worst scandals of his acting career, Astarion Ancunin is saved by an unlikely hero: his driver.

    The Driver hefted a set of black, leather gloves from atop his legs. His fingers were long and tanned. Astarion couldn’t help but watch as he donned them, giving the tight fabric a flex until the leather stretched over his knuckles. Then he tilted his head to the left, touching an ear to each of his shoulders, before pushing out his chest. His fitted suit strained against the motion, and Astarion heard a few joints pop.

    “Do you happen to have your seatbelt on, sir?” the driver asked.

    Astarion’s mouth, for some reason, watered.

    Summary

    Astarion's a slightly nomadic ethics professor taking up his new post at the storied Blackstaff Academy in Waterdeep. While exploring everything the city has to offer, he tests out a much-lauded dive bar glory hole and has the time of his life. It's impossible to get that sweet, soft voice and that skilled tongue out of his head, but the anonymous person on the other side wishes to remain unknown.

    Oh well.

    Maybe Astarion's burgeoning crush on his distinguished, older colleague, Professor Dekarios, will keep his mind from wandering towards the unattainable.

    Summary

    She woke with no memories—only blood on her hands and a name that doesn’t quite fit. Tav, oathbreaker and vessel of the Dark Urge, walks a razor-thin line between salvation and ruin. Every choice she makes pulls her closer to the truth—or to the edge.

    Astarion offers freedom, power, and the thrill of surrendering to what she is. Halsin offers healing, hope, and the belief that she can still choose what she becomes. Both men see her. Both love her—not for who she was, but for who she is now, and who she dares to be.

    But the darkness within her hungers. As lost memories resurface and her past begins to take shape, Tav must decide: is it possible to walk the path between shadow and light, or must she choose one to survive?

    Summary

    Wyll’s lantern swung closer. Tav could see the gleam of his boots through the underbrush. He was only steps away.

    “Do you think he’d be angry, pet?” Astarion mused. “If he found you like this? Would he be heartbroken? Or simply humiliated?”

    Of course he wouldn't let her answer. He covered her mouth with one hand, the other pressing her down.

    She clenched her jaw, wanting not to tremble beneath him. She should’ve been ashamed. But gods, it was hard to think when Astarion was like this—when he made her feel so alive.

    His mouth grazed the back of her shoulder, then up her neck. “Should I bite your scruff while I fuck you in front of your boyfriend? Like a wild beast?”

     

    -----
    Astarion thinks seducing her will save him. Only, he isn’t as untouchable as he pretends, and she isn’t as innocent as he thinks—she has secrets sharp enough to cut them both open.

    Halsin's longing for Tav blooms.
    If you’re into pining, sexual frustration, and some heart pounding, life swallowing, smoldering, slow burn smut, with a vampire tossed in you’re in the right place sugar. But, it is beautiful in places. It will make you cry, it will make you laugh, and it will definitely make you kick your feet and scream.

    Take your time to read it slow. Let it sink in as you experience it, let it transport you!
    I know it’s long, you can listen to an audio sample narrated by me on YouTube (not monetized) just type my name in, SybillaStillwater to see if it’s your cup of tea.
