Astarion/Lae'zel and the inherent eroticism of two predators that are ideologically and diametrically opposed, sizing each other up to see what they have to offer. a runaway slave and a failed servant to her queen. one who's all false honeyed words and shiny performance and one who has trouble with metaphors and only knows how to be herself. it's finding honesty in killing and meeting someone who embraces you for it. it's kissing after ravaging a small village and leaving absolutely no survivors. it's recognizing yourself in the other's monstrousness, and basking in both the peace and chaos you bring out in one another.

it's hating that you let yourself get close to someone who will inevitably leave you, someone destined for something greater than you. it's hating those moments he made you want to live for yourself and abandon your duty to your people, because you know you'd never forgive yourself if you do.

it's two ageless beings just drifting in and out of each other's lives over the centuries, never managing to stay in the same place for too long, always moving toward something else. it's to carry the burden of eternal life and to remember the mark you once left on the other—always there, and never quite gone.
