Writing out the postgame is so much fun when you just. Do whatever you want. When you get to explore your own interpretation of what comes next for these silly, silly newly dubbed heroes (or villains, if you went that route.)
People have pointed it out a million times how much Astarion changes in such a sort period of time and how he’s a blank slate, really. He’s got to learn who he is now, not who he was. Now, I’ve personally expanded the timeline of the game itself quite a bit for my own purposes, so he has even more time and there’s even more that happens. And those first few months in particular after the ending are chaotic for everyone in the group.
But I like to think Astarion, prickly Astarion, who, at his core, has become a survivor, is so soft now. The more he adjusts to being him, and to learning what he likes, the more fun I have writing him as forever the king of sass, but he’s just so content that the sass isn’t so venomous anymore. It’s jovial. It’s borne from contentment, not a coping mechanism. He still has his days. His moments. 200 years of torture will never leave him. But he never has to go back.
He’s seen that people can care, that he can be loved—he is loved. He’s learned that a hand can be raised to reach out and help, not just poised to strike. I don’t ever see him becoming fully altruistic, but he’s no longer fighting to survive. He gets to live now.
He’s the stray cat who’s finally found a home, a safe place. Is he still going to cause chaos? Tear up the proverbial carpet, knock over the glass of water? Sure. He wouldn’t be Astarion if he didn’t. But there’s a certain pleasant domesticity he gets to enjoy now. And after so much time playing at family and at being at home, it’s cathartic getting to write him building his own, real, chosen family and growing more and more comfortable in a real home.

i think the worst part about being single after a breakup is just the nothing at times.
like, I'm so used to knowing what I'd want to do, and who with, but now that's different.
Like, you're telling me i need to find a new person?? I have to find someone i have chemistry with?? and I have to wait months or years or decades or i might never even find it again.
Horrid, Absolutely horrid god awful hate it.
Anyways time to more or less hate every single date I go on because the person i'm seeing doesn't have an immediate connection with me and we're not already married for 5 years and I can't say "i love you" and lay on their lap and a whole bunch of other gay little thoughts in my head

Sick day - Satosugu oneshot/drabble
Pairing : Satoru Gojo / Suguru Geto
Summary : Satoru is sick and Suguru makes him breakfast in bed :3
Warnings : none just fluff and gojo being grossly sick 😒
Word count : 332
A/N : i just love them so much they r so boyfriends.. also this takes place in a normal AU with nooo curses and allat bcs i just want them to be happy living a domestic life together 😢😢
Satoru, who always wakes up so gracefully, is caught off guard when mid-yawn he starts to choke up a cough. He blinks open his bright blue eyes and rubs his throat with his right hand, sitting up slowly.
“Blech!” He shouts out to himself, coughing a bit more. He turns to look at Suguru, who is already out of bed and is in their shared kitchen. “Suguruuu-ACK.” He tries to call out his lover's name in a singsong-like voice, but is of course cut off by his gross coughs.
Suguru sighs from the kitchen as he is preparing Satoru a plate of chocolate chip pancakes with syrup, knowing Satoru has a sweet tooth. “Keep it down, Satoru.” He calls out, as he perfects the plate and puts it onto a tray.
Suguru walks over to Satoru, seeing him having a coughing fit in bed. He sighs and smiles to himself softly as he lays the tray on Satoru's lap. “I made you pancakes, specifically the chocolate chip ones since I know you have such a sweet tooth. I also added a bowl of strawberries and blueberries so you can have something healthy. You can also drink orange juice but I brought water too just in case you weren't in the mood for orange juice, and finally your medicine is there. I made sure to include the pill and liquid version since I know you can be picky on how you take your medicine.” Suguru rambles on as Satoru smiles lovingly at his boyfriend.
Satoru leans in and kisses Suguru on his cheek before coughing up again. “Ugh, don’t get me sick too Satoru.” He playfully replies before starting again, “After you’re done make sure to get some rest, I’ll be in the living room if you need anything.” Suguru smiles as he goes to leave the room, watching Satoru DEVOUR his breakfast. “Mkay Suguru! Loveee youuu~.” Satoru grins while waving off Suguru. “Uh huh love you too, Satoru.” He chuckles softly, leaving the room fully.

I had to break out the electric blanket tonight and that reminded me, I’ve really been neglecting my self ship lately, I just haven’t had time in between writing requests and trying to date again. It made me realize I’m sad about it, I miss getting to talk about me with Bi-Han not just Bi-Han and a reader. Of course Syzoth is involved still but the chill in the air makes me think of Bi-Han. I’ve also been shipping with Bi-Han since I was a kid first with my OC Ice and later on when I was comfortable, myself and I miss him. I miss his chilly hugs and icy kisses, I miss soft tender moments and forehead kisses, I miss reading the kids a bedtime story even if the twins act like they’re too old for them now, I miss Shixue crawling into our bed when there’s a storm outside and he gets scared. I miss soft Bi-Han, I miss him holding me close in bed and stroking my hair while I fall asleep. I miss being with him…
