My Darling | Alastor x Reader Oneshot
Tumblr media
“(Y/N), you are here today in front of the angelic council to discuss your placement in Heaven.” Sera’s voice booms in the open room as the rest of the council stays quiet. I simply nod, not having anything to say towards her statement. I’m not surprised they eventually found out I don’t belong up here.
If my connection to my husband during my life wasn’t enough for me to go to Hell after death some of my actions definitely would make a good enough reason for it. Sera cuts off my train of thought as she continues. “We shall re-evaluate your life before we vote on whether or not you have the right to stay in heaven. Before our vote you will have a chance to speak on any events that might sway our decision. Do you understand everything before we begin?”
I nod before speaking up. “I understand.” She nods in acknowledgment before glancing around to make sure the council is ready to begin. She closes her eyes as her lips form a fine line. “Alright, well start from the beginning of your life and go from there.” I nod once more, continuing to stand as Emily creates a projection of my life.
The first half of my life is boring and doesn’t give the angelic council any reason why I shouldn’t be in Heaven. It makes sense though, how often is a child ruthless enough to guarantee a spot in hell before they even hit double digits. They wont find any evidence until we get closer to my twenties. Getting tired of standing I summon a chair and I take a seat causing Sera to sigh quietly causing me to shrug.
The projection continues as I relive my early life. I look around as I get bored and it’s clear the council, especially Adam, is bored to death as well. I perk up as I hear a familiar voice and see an even more familiar scene playing on the projection.
─── ☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚ ───
I had been invited to a fancy party since my family is distantly related to a wealthy person. I had been sitting at the bar most of the time not knowing anyone here other than my mother who is being a bit too social for my taste right now.
Sighing I wave the bartender over and order a soda to have something to fiddle with. He quickly pours it into a glass and places it in front of me. I started to swirl my drink around in a bored manner when I spotted a tall, slender man.
We both had accidentally made eye contact with one another and he made his way over to introduce himself. “Hello, dear. I'm Alastor, and who might you be?” I let go of my drink and turned my body slightly towards him a bit more. “Why do you want to know?” I tease giving him a smile.
Alastor chuckled lightly. “I want to get to know someone as lovely as yourself of course, sweet thing.” He said as he leaned closer to me.
“Well when you put it that way.” I laugh slightly leaning my head against my hand. “I’m Aria, it’s nice to meet you, Alastor.” I finished giving him a smile.
Alastor smiled wider, and his voice had a subtle seductive tone as he spoke. He was obviously trying to flirt with me a bit. ”You have a lovely name, it suits someone as beautiful as yourself,” he leaned in even closer and whispered the last part, his southern accent slightly more noticeable “darling.”
I feel my face flush making me lean into my hand more to try and hide it. “What brought you to this party?” I ask curiously.
At my question, Alastor chuckled and shrugged. "Well, I was invited here by a dear friend of mine, I didn't know that anyone as beautiful as yourself would be here." He replied, making my face heat up even more.
─── ☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚ ───
“Ugh we’re not here to watch some rom-com. Can’t we just cut to the reason we’re all actually here?” Adam sighs dramatically as Sera shakes her head annoyed. “I suppose.” She breathes out touching Emily’s shoulder indicating to her to fast forward a bit.
“Boo, I was enjoying that.” I pout before grinning. “Too bad sweetheart cause we’re skipping it.” Adam smirks causing me to roll my eyes at him.
Emily continues to fast forward through my life until Sera stops her. The projection starts up again with Alastor and I walking on the streets of New Orleans as he leads me to a restaurant.
I start laughing and look up at Adam. “Guess you are stuck watching a rom-com after all.” I joke making Adam pissed off.
─── ☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚ ───
Alastor offers his arm to me and I take it as we walk on the streets of New Orleans. "So, have you met any other charming gentleman at parties or am I the only one?"
I laugh as I hit his arm slightly. “Very funny Al.” I say still laughing. “I’m stuck with just you unfortunately.” I joke causing him to grab his heart dramatically. “You wound me darling.” He replies, acting as though his heart is actually aching.
I hold my hand to my mouth trying to muffle my laughter, failing miserably. “You shouldn’t be a radio host, you should be a comedian. I’ve never laughed this much before.” I say grinning at him.
“Ahh, so my charms are already getting to you. I knew our date was going to be a success.” Alastor says with a smirk making me blush slightly.
“Don’t get too ahead of yourself lover boy. We still have a dinner to get through.” I hum out jokingly as we approach the restaurant doors. "We shall see where this night takes us." Alastor smiles with confidence as he holds the door open for me and we walk in the restaurant.
A small smile forms on my lips as Alastor tells the hostess about the reservation he made. The hostess shows us both to a table and walks away. As we take our seats I look around. The restaurant is packed tonight and people are filling the tables all around us. The food smells delicious and the atmosphere is romantic.
“Do you usually come to this restaurant often?” I ask while looking through the menu. “I’m not sure what to get.” I mumble looking at all the options.
"Yes I’ve been here a few times. I enjoy the atmosphere of the place.” He glances around to take in the atmosphere as he answers. “I would recommend the shrimp risotto or the jambalaya. Those are the best items on the menu here." Alastor tells me as he looks back at me.
“Hmm alright. You’ve convinced me.” I give him a wide smile. “I’ll try the shrimp risotto. It does sound really good.”
“Great choice darling.” Alastor says with a bright smile back. We watch as the waitress comes over to take our order. She is very attentive and makes sure we are all set before leaving to ring our orders into the kitchen.
I start to blush again at the nickname he’s decided to give me. “You really like calling me your darling don’t you?” I ask, teasing him.
“Darling, I find it hard not to call you that.” Alastor chuckles at the sight of me blushing. “You are just so adorable, how can I not call you that my angel.” Alastor says trying to make me blush even more now.
“My charm and smooth talk has only just begun darling.” Alastor says with a chuckle as he reaches across the table to gently grab my hands and remove them from my face so he could look into my eyes. “As you said my job as a radio host helps me become an amazing talker. I could talk your ear off for hours.” Alastor says with a charming smile.
“Oh really? Could you now?” I tease some more. “I wouldn’t be opposed to that.” I say as I start to fiddle with his hand in mine. He blushes from my touch before he replies. “Don’t tempt me. I could talk all night darling.” He grins.
We continue to talk about little nothings until our waitress comes with our food and drinks.
Our waitress comes to set our food down for us. We thank her and she walks away. As we begin to eat Alastor looks over at me with a smirk. “You want to know what's the highlight of this whole evening?” Alastor asks.
I hum in acknowledgment. “And what might that be?” I ask while taking a sip of my drink.
"The highlight of this evening is getting to spend time with you my darling." Alastor says, taking a sip of his drink also.
“Very cute lover boy.” I laugh slightly setting my drink back down. “I agree, tonight has been quite enjoyable.”
We both continue to enjoy our meals in the presence of each other. As we both finish eating Alastor makes his way over to where our waitress is to ask for the check. As he does that a man, who is clearly a bit too intoxicated, comes up to our tanley and starts to hit on me.
“Well, aren’t you a looker?” The man slurs, making me uncomfortable. I turn away from him slightly trying to ignore him. Unfortunately he didn’t like that and grabbed my arm pulling me up from my seat. “Look a man in his face when he’s complimenting you, ya hear?” He snarls in my face. I try to pull my arm out of his grasp but to no avail.
Alastor had just finished talking to the waitress when he turned and saw the man snarling in your face. He was immediately pissed off but he kept his composure. "Excuse me sir but this woman is with me. If you don't remove your hand from her immediately I will remove it for you. Do we understand each other?" Alastor asks in a firm and threatening tone.
The drunken man looks Alastor up and down as he grips my arm tighter causing me to squirm more. “And what are you gonna do about it? You’ll regret getting in my way.” He snarls towards Alastor.
Alastor's voice becomes menacing and cold. "Let her go or I can guarantee you won't walk away from this altercation." Alastor says as he grabs the man's wrist and forces him to release his grasp off of you.
The man tumbled due to his grasp on me being released. He starts to mumble some incoherent complaints before stumbling out of the restaurant. I rub my arm letting out a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay darling?" Alastor is now very close to me and he has his hand placed on your shoulder reassuring you. "You're okay right?" He looks at you with a very concerned look on his face.
I nod. “I’m alright. Thank you.” My face flushes noticing the other guests staring in our direction. “If the bill is all taken care of it would be nice to leave.” I give him a small smile.
"I agree darling. Let's go." Alastor's concerned look softens into a smile now. He wraps his arm around my waist as we leave the restaurant. “Let me escort you home so you get back safe.”
I nod once more leaning into him. “Thank you.” We make our way through the busy city streets, passing other couples going out on their dates like us. Alastor walks next to me holding me close to his side. As we walk in silence I take in the night sky and the cool breeze.
The two of us eventually get to my house and its door. “Thank you for tonight. I enjoyed it a lot, even with its small hiccups.” I say making light of the situation that just happened.
“It was my pleasure darling. I enjoyed it as well despite those hiccups.” Alastor says as he moves his hand to your cheek brushing it gently with his fingers. “It would be a joy to take you out again sometime.” Alastor says while his finger is still on your cheek.
My face lights up with a smile. “I’d like that. I’d like that a lot.” I grab a hold of his hand on my cheek, placing it down before kissing him on the cheek. “Good night Al. Get home safe alright?” I say as I unlock my door and open it slightly.
His cheeks redden as I kiss him on the cheek and he blushes profusely. “Good night my beautiful darling. Sleep well.” Alastor says to me as I head inside. He backs away from the door and gives me a small wave before he turns around and leaves to head home himself.
─── ☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚ ───
“Glad that was over cause that was torture to watch.” Adam exclaims while some of the other angels silently agree. I feel my eye twitch as he is making these sweet memories less enjoyable with his comments.
“No wonder both of your wives left you.” I comment, causing Adam to explode with rage. “Calm down Adam, we need to finish our review of her life.” He huffs making sure to flip me off in the process.
Sera had Emily fast forward again until they got to another part of my life that might give them the evidence they need.
─── ☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚ ───
I open my front door and head to the drive way to pick up the newspaper. After retrieving it I head back inside and make myself a cup of tea before I start to skim the paper.
Satisfied with the taste of the tea I bring a cup, along with the newspaper, to my den as I sit down. I place my tea cup on the table beside me as I start to open up the newspaper.
Taking sips every so often I find the paper to be boring like usual until I notice a picture of a familiar man with the headline ‘Man Found Dead, Police Are Currently on the Lookout for the Killer’. I place my teacup down with shaking hands.
“There’s no way. This is insane.” I mutter as I skim the section once more. I immediately stand up and go towards my phone.
With shaking hands I dial his number. “Hello?” His voice resonates through the phone. “Have you read the newspaper yet today?” I ask with concern visible in my voice.
The concern in my voice makes him start to worry. "No darling, why? What is it?" Alastor asks, concern now lacing his voice as well.
“You remember that man from the restaurant right?” I start off. "Yes I do. What about him?" Alastor asks still with a sense of uncertainty. “Well,” I start off before I pause to take a shaky breath. “Well, he was found dead the same night. The police just found his body. Read the newspaper, it's all in there.” I say letting out another shaky breath.
The moment Alastor realizes what I meant he freezes. He takes sharp breaths trying to get himself to calm down. "What did the paper say about... the cause?" Alastor finally says, barely able to get the words out.
“Homicide.” I mutter out. Alastor takes another sharp breath and swallows thick in his throat trying to stay composed. "That's... That's crazy." He says with fear clearly in his voice.
"Why are you calling me? Do you think somehow I had anything to do with it?" Alastor asks in his shaky and frightened tone. I pause absorbing what he just said. “What?” I stutter out. “Wait. Wait, did you have something to do with it?” I say panicked.
He starts to scramble as he tries to come up with a response to my question. "No, of course not." He says trying to sound confident despite how terrified he feels now. “I can tell you're shaken up over this. Let me come over so I can calm you down darling.”
I lean against the wall where my phone is sighing. “Yes, yes I think that would be good. Sorry, I’m just a bit freaked out right now.” I say quietly.
"I'll be there as soon as possible darling. Just stay where you are and try to calm down. I'll be there soon." Alastor says, reassuring me as best as he can while also trying to keep the fear in his voice down in a calming tone.
“Alright.” I mutter. “See you soon darling.” He says before hanging up the phone. I hang up as well, walking back to my chair and staring off into space for a few moments.
Not long after I hear a knock on my door and I quickly go to open it expecting to see Alastor. “Hello ma'am are you (Y/N) (L/N)?” My eyes widened a bit from surprise. “Yes, I am. How can I help you, officer?” He clears his throat continuing.
“We are looking into the murder of this man and we heard you had an encounter with him before he died. Could I come in to talk about this some more?”
I silently nod, opening my front door wider for him to come in. “Would you like something to drink? Some tea?” He nods and follows me into the kitchen. I start preparing a new batch of tea as he starts the conversation he came here to have. “While I heard you were involved in an encounter I am more interested in if you know where Alastor is.”
I set down one of my tea cups a bit too hard against the counter when he says that. “What? Sorry I think I misheard you.” I stutter out. “Alastor. He was with you that night was he not?” I gulp. “He was.” I try to smile. “Why? Is something wrong with Alastor?
He sighs. “I believe he killed this man. No one else in the police force knows I think this but I have no doubt about it.”
“Oh?” Is all I can utter out as I try to control my body from shaking too intensely. He nods again. “Yes, I’m sorry if this is unfortunate news for you. I tried going to his house before here but it seemed as though he wasn’t home.” The officer says, sighing.
His radio started to go off and he slightly turned away from me to mess with it. Before I knew what I was doing I grabbed a knife from my countertop and stabbed the man right in his neck. He tried to stop me but it was too late as I had it deep into his neck and all he could do was stare at me with wide eyes as I slowly pulled it out.
He immediately dropped to the floor trying to activate his radio to call for help. Due to where I struck him he began losing blood fast and passed out quickly unable to activate his radio in time.
Did I just- did I just do that? I think as I look at the bloody knife in my hand. Gasping I drop it and it clatters loudly onto the floor next to the officer’s dead body. I hug my body trying to stop myself from gasping. Being right outside and hearing the commotion Alastor opens the front door looking around with a concerned look.
He notices me in the kitchen, closes the front door, and quickly walks towards me, noticing the officer and the large pool of blood beneath him. “(Y/N)…” he says quietly, causing me to glance up at him. My eyes move in every direction clearly showing how scared I am.
Alastor quickly walks over the body and holds me in a tight embrace as we both sink to the floor. “It’s alright darling, it’s alright.” I start to sob, grabbing onto him. “He knew. He knew it was you and I didn’t want to lose you. I didn’t- I didn’t mean to do it, I just- I need you Alastor.” I sob out as he holds me tighter.
“You’re alright. Everything is alright my darling. I’ll handle everything. I love you darling.” He hums to me holding my head tight against his body.
I pull away slightly. “Huh?” I whimper through my tears as I start to laugh. “I just- I just killed someone for you and you tell me you love me?” I continue to laugh. “And hearing that in this situation made my heart absolutely flutter. What is wrong with us?”
Alastor blushes looking down at me. “I love you so much my darling.” He smiles. “I love you too.” I respond as I realize I would do absolutely anything for this man. I’d even kill again for him and feel no remorse for it as long as it kept him safe and with me always.
─── ☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚ ───
Sera prompts Emily to stop the projection as it’s clear they don’t need to see anymore. I flutter my wings waiting for someone to speak. Sera clears her throat uncomfortably, “I believe that is more than enough for the council to see” she says trying to to make eye contact with me. “Before we make our judgment is there anything you’d like to add to your case?” I stand up from my chair and fix my dress a bit before looking back up at her.
“I’d do it again.” I say simply with a smile on my face. “I did do it again actually. Many more times after that. If you want to keep watching you’ll see.” Sera’s face drops open with shock evident on her face as the rest of the council starts to whisper to one another with looks of shock and disgust on their faces as well. Adam starts to laugh maniacally before speaking up. “You’re one psychotic bitch huh?” I just continue to smile as he finds this even more amusing, his laugh starting to echo in the room.
Putting a hand on Emily’s back in reassurance Sera takes a breath and starts to speak again. “Well, If that is all you have to say I believe it is time for us to make our decision.” Once again I nod, keeping the smile on my face. They head into the conference room attached as one angel is assigned to stay in the room with me. I have no reason to run however. I could honestly care less if they send me to Hell or keep me up in Heaven. Though I wouldn’t mind being able to see Alastor again. I take a seat as I wait for the rest to come back into the room.
A few minutes have passed and the council quickly regroups all taking their seats. Their briefing was fast but I expected it to be. I would have been more concerned if they took a while to make a decision. One of the angels informs the one that stayed to guard me of the decision the rest came to.
I stand up dusting off my dress again as I look up at Sera giving her a small smile. “The angelic council has come to a unanimous decision to cast you out of Heaven. You shall be marked as a fallen angel and immediately sent to Hell where you will stay for the rest of eternity.” Sera says cutting straight to the point. “Alright.” I simply say with a smile still sitting on my face. “We have done you the favor of informing Lucifer of your arrival but that is the one and only thing we have done for you.” She adds, most likely due to Emily requesting so. That girl is so innocent, not knowing half of the things Heaven has a hand in doing.
“While we will not strip you of your wings we will strip you of all your angelic power. Would you like any last words before we continue and send you to Hell?” I shake my head, fluttering my wings again. “Very well.” Sera begins to strip all of my powers from me before opening a portal. I take one more deep breath before walking through the portal with my own free will.
I’m his darling even after death is the last thing I think before getting cast out of heaven, becoming a fallen angel. At least I can finally see my Al again.

Hey! I couldn't find any post saying if the requests were closed, so if they're feel free to say no. I loved your last two astarion fics, may I make a request? Something light and funny would do the Fandom good. How about a piece based on this interview (https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMjrnuB4T/), where our dear vampire boi gets changed into a goose (did he lockpick the wrong chest? Pissed off the wrong magical entity/camp member? Was hit by a random spell during a fight? You tell me)? It can wear off in a little but just on that short period of time, the group learns why Goosetarion is a menace all on it's own >:)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The camp was quiet. Karlach, gale and astarion having gone out to hunt down some deer for supper, your spend your time alone tidying you and astarion's shared tent, lifting tomes and parchment off the bed rolls and placing them neatly in the corner. You here karlach yell your name "Tav come quick!", you sprint out of the tent in a panic thinking something terrible had happened only to find Karlach wearing a grin "look what Mr shiny boots went and did to himself" you follow her thinking something bad had happened to Astarion, however your greeted with gale trying to corner a flailing goose, the goose makes eye contact with you before sprinting to hide behind you.
you raise an eyebrow at karlach and gale, she stifles a laugh motioning you to watch the scene unfold, gale reaches towards the hiding goose. The goose snaps at the sorcerer's hand, gale says "Astarion if you want turned back you have to work with me, not against me" Astarion? Your Astarion is the goose cowering behind your legs, you looked down at the goose behind your legs, the more you looked the more you could see Astarion's features, his crimson eyes, the small fangs that peaked out of his beak, the soft silver poof of feathers that sat on top of his head. "Astarion, my love is that you?" the goose cowers its head at you, almost as if hes embarrassed. You reach down to pet his head "whatever happened my darling?", karlach snorts "he got cocky tryin' to lock pick a cursed chest" gale nods "i did try to warn him tav but he didnt-" the goose flairs his wings up, hissing at the pair, gale steps back but karlach stands her ground laughing at him.
you promptly lift him, scooping him up into your arms, "and how long till it wears off" gale stops staring at the, clearly, pissed goose in your arms "um...should wear off during the night" you sigh, "alright 'starion, try and behave till this wears off"
the hours pass and your surprised that Astarion hadnt caused much trouble, despite snapping at Gale every time he comes near you, you finish stirring the stew that was bubbling away on the camp fire; noticing that astarion is no longer sulking near you, so you wander around the camp looking for your vampire goose.
"ASTARION GIVE THAT BACK" gale yells frantically as the white goose runs rampant with one of his scrolls, the goose flails his wings, showing off his dominance, you watch as gale manages to corner Astarion, he reaches for the scroll but astarion is quick to drop it and bite gale's hand, the wizard lets out a pained yelp, you decide its time to intervene. "Astarion! let go of gale" you scold your feathered lover, the goose studies you before letting go of poor gale's hand, the wizard cluthes it and disappears to nurse his bitten hand. You look down at him "astarion that wasnt very nice, you took his scrolls" however it seemed he wasnt listening, he waddled off back into your shared tent, you follow before screeching at him "ASTARION THATS MY SANDWICH!" you chase the goose around the camp before loosing your temper with him, "fine astarion keep the damn sandwich, it's not like i was hungry or anything, damn you" you throw your hands up in the air before disappearing back into your tent to sulk.
it was nightfall before you heard the pitter patter of his webbed feet, you pretend to be asleep, you sense him checking you over, perhaps he was wondering if you were awake, you feel the creature wiggle its way into your arms, you dont fight him, it lays its head under your chin, you listen as its breathing slows, you both fall asleep.
the morning comes, light peaks through the tent causing you to wake, however the lump next to you feels larger, warmer. you peak down, looking at astarion's sleeping face, you cant help but smile, you lean down and plant a soft kiss to the top of his head before whispering "your a menace my love" you feel him snuggle closer "im your menace my darling" you smile before huffing "you still owe me a sandwhich" you both break into soft giggles.
*im so sorry this took so long my start with uni went haywire and i needed some time to deal with that but im back now and im finishing my drafts, see you soon with more x readers*

Saving this for some angst x reader later 🤫
"Astarion" means "Little Star"
So he was not only killed in his childhood according to elf years
He hasn't had his adult name at the age of 100
But also his parents named him "Little Star"???? And for now he can't even remember them?? And his young ages before everything???
Can you hear my heart breaking in pieces again and again and again..?

A request of a tav having an abusive ex and astarion finding out. Much fluff please AHHH I LOVED YOUR LAST FIC OF ASTARION KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Astarion x reader]
warnings: Mentions of abuse and unhealthy relationship situations (swearing in this one), trauma bonding for Tav and Aster enjoy <3
The fire pit crackles as you throw another log onto the dying pile, your thoughts are swirling in a vicious tidal pool, your stomach churns, unbeknownst to you a pair of carmine eyes observe your slouched figure. "Little Love youll give yourself a hunch sitting like that", you jump at the sound of his voice, hiding your tear stained face from his view, your words muffled as you do your best to clean your face.
He admits a soft huff when you dont tease back like normal, the weight on the log seams to shift as he sits beside you, his voice is soft and carries like a leaf in the wind "sweetness whatever is the matter? youve seemed off since we left that tavern", a lump catches in your throat, of all the taverns, in all of baulders gate, why did karlach pick that one.
your ex partner had been there, you had hoped to hide from them in the back corners of the dimly lit tavern but to no avail; they sauntered up to the table like they owned the place "Tav long time no see how are you" forcing you into an all but too tight hug, the sickly sweet smile on their face as they trapped you in their arms, your anxiety and claustrophobia hit an all time high. You firmly place your hands on their chest to push yourself out of their arms, they catch one of your wrists rather roughly, definately causing bruising, a small yelp emits from your lips. You wish your camp mates had been nearby to help you out of the situation but it appeared that they were off doing their own thing in the midst of the tavern party, "you wont run off on me this time sweetheart" their grip on you is tight and unmoving, memories of your last time together flash across your mind, bruises, wounds, tears and tantrums. They were going to hurt you again, their attempt to drag you to one of the many tavern bedrooms brings you back to your senses, your fight or flight kicks in, your elbow connects with their stomach allowing you to make a break for it "YOU LITTLE SHIT" their words are drowned out by the wind howling in your ears as you continued your sprint to camp.
Astarion studies your face, your eyes look distant and your hand keeps rubbing at your wrists. "Little darling whatever happened?, you seemed so excited for your night out on the town" you dont answer, your voice faulters as fresh tears make their way down your face. In the beginning it startles him, but he can see how much your hurting, he goes to gently grab your hands to help relax you, his eyes come in contact with the purple bruise that marks your beautiful skin "Dove when did this happen? It looks fresh" His fingers press against the bruise causing you to wince, his eyes watch as your face contorts in pain and sadness "Darling i hope you know you can talk to me, like i did to you when i needed to" his fingers gently stroke your cheek, wiping away tears.
you regain your voice, but its hoarse from crying "tonight in the tavern i saw someone, someone i didnt want to see" he nods giving your hand an affectionate squeeze, you would speak in your own time and he had all of eternity to hear you out. "My...Ex partner was there" "im sensing bad blood between you" you nod before guesturing to your bruised wrist "we were together years back and we broke up because...they liked using their hand on me" Astarion's brows scrunch together as he pieces the words together "Darling are you saying they used to beat you?" he doesnt need a verbal response when he sees the pain in your eyes, now hes seething with rage; who in the right mind would hurt a sweet thing like you, the very same creature who had comforted him and offered their neck to him.
"That Bastard I'll skin them" the rise in his voice causing you to jump, astarion takes your bruised wrist, pressing soft kisses to the marked flesh "who in the right mind would damage such a wonderful work of art, a feast for the gods eyes, should they ever step within 10 foot of you again my love you tell me, you promised me that we'd hunt down cazzador and make him pay for what he did to me, now ill make a promise to you my little darling" his kisses slowly making their way up your arm before landing on your lips "i will protect you from all harm, none more will befall that beautiful mind of yours" he presses a kiss to your forehead, "come darling you look exhausted, youll sleep with me tonight, ill watch over you" he takes you to his tent and tucks you up amongst his many blankets and pillows, his fingers playing with your hair until you fall asleep, "my sweet if only you knew just how far I'd go to ensure your happiness" he presses a final kiss to your forehead before curling up with you.
He kept to his word you'd never be plagued by that ex of yours again infact no one would, ever again.

[Astarion x Reader]
Warnings: None really, there are implications parenthood (the reader is adressed as mama/mummy), i just want to write fluff for the vampy boi <3
The soft glow of sunlight finds its way through your curtains, you turn your back to it before it can rouse you from your soft slumber. Your nose comes in contact with astarion's spine, pressing your face into his back which rouses a soft chuckle from deep with his chest, the vibrations cause you to slightly open your eyes. "Goodmorning my love" he turns to face you his pale skin glowing in the morning light, a smile present on his face, oh how you love his smile, everything about it from the crows feet that appear next to his eyes when he smiles genuinely, the way his fangs peek out from under his lips. He was perfect.
"whats on that mind of yours lover?" he casts you a teasing glance causing a geniune smile to grace your lips, your hands reach out to find one another, your fingers finding comfort in the grooves of his hand, feeling the gold band that sits proudly on his ring finger, the matching one adorning your finger, your voice is soft and groggy from sleep "this is first time in a while ive had you to mysel-" as if on cue the sounds of little feet on the hardwood floors brings your attention to the door, you sigh; however your still smiling "it would appear darling our little spawns have a different idea" . Your stifle a laugh your head resting on his chest as you both wait for your bedroom to turn into a chamber of madness. Astarion presses a kiss to your temple, his fingers combing through your hair.
your bedroom door creeks open, two little figures finding their way to the foot of your bed before climbing up and jumping onto their father "Morning mama and papa" Lyra, your 3yr old daughter sits ontop of her father, she almost his double, sharing his pale skin and silver curls, her eyes however are the same as yours. You feel small hands patting at your side, you look over and your 2yr old son Caspian is making grabby hands, he wants up to join in with everyone else; you lift him up allowing him to get comfortable on your chest, the small boy shares his father's facial features, along with his red eyes, however he shares your skin color and hair color.
"my my, little spawns you are up early today whatever is the reason?" astarion gently pokes and tickles his daughter, her squeals of laughter filling the room, caspian slaps his chubby little hands together in excitement. "papa you promised we'd go to the market today!". She was right, today was the first of the autum market and Astarion and you had promised your little ones (well only Lyra could understand really) that youd take them to see it and pick out a few things for home. Asatrion lets out a dramatic sigh, throwing his head back onto the pillow "I suppose i did didnt i" lyra laughs at him.
you seize the moment to tease him " Tell him to hurry up Lyra, hes a dramatic old elf" you pull a funny face causing your daughter to start giggling frantically, Astarion's head snaps around to look at you before attacking you and lyra with kisses "How dare" another kiss "you two" this time it was on your nose "call me a dramatic old elf" the final kiss was on your lips.
He scoops Lyra and Caspian up into his arms, lyra giggles at their father's antics, while caspian chews on his chubby little fist babbling back at his dad "alright my little darlings, lets go get ready" he approaches you with both children in his arms, he plants a kiss on your lips before disappearing out the bedroom door to ready your children for the day, you take a moment to listen to the now alive little cottage,
"papa can we buy pumpkins today!" " I dont see why not- caspian take that out of your mouth young man" "ew papa why are you covered in caspians porridge" You laugh listening to the mayhem, what a beautiful family you have, it might not be perfect but its the vampire spawn and now retired tav kind of perfect.
this was going to be another perfect day.

Domestic life w/Hawks Part 5
warning: The reader has been given no pronouns but is able to be impregnated *GENDER NEUTRAL*
The ride home was peaceful, the soft blur of trees and buildings zooming past you as some pop song played on the radio. Keigo's hand tapped along to the tune on the the steering wheel; his gaze softly shifted to you, the glow you gave of was infectious, the small smile you had on your face as your hand gently caressed you stomach.
"so sweetheart how are you feeling after the appointment?" he turns his focus back to the road, but you can see him taking short glances into the reerview mirror to look at you. "honestly kegio, this pregnancy is beginnig to feel so real; i dont know if im ready to be a parent" your voice faltered, the possibilities of your failures flooding your mind. His hand suddenly snuck its way into your "angel i dont think either of us are ready; but who is when it comes to their first. what matters is that i love you and you love me, ill support you through all of this. ill do everything in my power to make sure you and our little nugget are happy and healthy" he pulled up into the garage below your home, taking the keys out of the ignition he turned to look at you. "baby you know that i didnt have the best childhood and i know you also had your struggles; so lets make a promise, okay?" you nod at him, " we'll promise to be the parents we needed but never had, we'll support each other and give our little one everything we never had; okay? Pinkie promise?" you laughed as he stuck his pinkie finger out at you wiggling his eyebrows, you reach your and grab his pinkie with yours " pinkie promise bird boy"
Note: WOAH i havent written for this story for a hot moment sorry yall ive been busy with life, i cant promise there will be more updates i might rush this to finish due to my interest in MHA coming to an end but ill try and finish this for yall <3

My beloved J 💖 I'm currently setting up a new sideblog and was wondering if you would be able to make some headers and dividers based on Astarion? I know you haven't played the game yet, so if you need more information, please let me know. And of course, if you don't feel like it, feel free to ignore the request 💕
Omg Tess hello! 💖 and ahh, I would be so honored! I made some up for you that hopefully capture Astarion’s wonderful character - I hope you like these (and so 👀 at your sideblog I hope you will send it my way!)
(I used found screenshots for this, but if you have a Fave Look and want to send me images, I will swap them out! 💖)

Baby Fever [Astarion X Fem!Reader]
Warnings and tags: English is not my native. A bit of pregnancy talk? Reader is not immortal or long-living. Human, tiefling or so. Inspired by dialog with Gale and Halsin, when you as Gale if your relationship could be for three ppl and he asks "What? Like a child?" 😭 and my local baby fever don't mind me
Astarion hides it pretty well, but he feels guilty any time baby fever hits you hard.
It's not something he could fix or smooth with his slay talks and lazy smiles. He's dead. Undead. The vampire. Not someone who can give you a child. Not now nor ever.
He feels guilty not because he can't have kids. He's never been really fond of them. He could have thought about it eventually tho. Moreover for now he doesn't consider himself mature enough to raise a child. He's an elf, so maybe in a couple hundred years he could think about more domestic life. But either way you'd never ever be able to adapt to him. By the time he'd had children, your grandchildren's grandchildren would be trampling the kingdoms.
He knows he weaved you two tightly in this relationship. So now you're trapped in the prison of his immortality - and his death. With someone else you could have a child, right? Not him. Someone your age, your life expectancy, someone alive. That's what's bothering him. That you stayed. Haven't left for your own desires, but preferred him.
Astarion feels guilty for accepting your sacrifice so easily. He considers it something natural. When you force your will to stop talking to a swarming band of little tieflings and return to him. When you try to hide your delight about one more saved kid or a traveler carrying a baby with herself.
He knows owlbear would never replace a real kid. But he'll try to figure it out. He wants to give someone more than he originally has. For the first time in his life.
