    Summary

    Based on a prompt given to me by a wonderful anonymous tumblr user:

    Astarion/reader fic where he finds out she's never had a lover 'finish the job' so she doesn't see what all the fuss is about, and he decides to use his skills to ruin her for anyone else and show her what she's been missing out on?

    Summary

    Mizora pulled, Wyll’s soul ripping through each layer of the wretched planes. The soggy, bone-strewn, disease-ridden swampland of the third layer, Minauros, came next. Tavaris could feel the decay seeping into Wyll – rotting him from the inside out, only to be crudely reformed as he plunged into Phlegethos. Liquid fire thrummed in his veins as he was forced through what felt like the neck of a volcano. The heat was maddening, it boiled his blood and popped his veins as he sank farther.
    The fifth layer, Stygia plunged him into brine water colder than the breath of an ice dragon. Wyll burned from the sudden, beyond drastic change in temperature, lungs clawing at themselves as they filled with the ocean. Where the lava before had burnt away his flesh, the salt latched in. Pressure pushed at him from all sides as he sank lower, his beautiful eye, which she hadn’t spent nearly enough time memorizing, burst from the force.

    (This is a retelling of the game where I’ve taken in game dialogue, smooshed the words around, and added a far amount of new bits. Including but not limited to Wyll's romance scenes, Durge dream flashbacks and general tadfool tomfoolery which each member of the group)

    Summary

    If the desperation in his eyes and the heartbreak on his face hadn’t already been enough to break you, the tremble in his voice would have done it. And even without all that, how could you ever say no to this man? He who stood beside you as you discovered your lost self. He who remained beside you when you learned your cursed history. He who bound the knots of your restraints and stroked your hair through the night, even as you writhed and fought to end his life. He helped you gain your freedom from the damnation of your birth. How could you possibly deny helping him with his own freedom?

    But, says a voice in your head, seven thousand souls.

    ----

    A story in which we discover just how damned an ascended vampire can be, and just how far you will go to save the elf you loved.

    Summary

    “Well,” he croons, “The fun doesn’t have to be entirely one-sided. Our time could very well be limited. You help me with my condition…and I could help you with yours.”

    “My condition?” she asks, her eyebrows now arched to maximum height.

    Astarion tilts his head. “Darling, it’s bad enough that we might burst into tentacles any day now. I would hate to see you die a virgin.”

    -

    Neve already had her hands full, what with trying to keep her companions from killing each other and pushing forward in the face of an uncertain fate. Then the vampire had to go and decide she was sweet enough to want to sink his teeth into.

    Another take on how things unfold post-bite.
