    Summary

    Druidic Tav grew up in a nomadic clan that recorded their history through spoken word and song rather than written text. As such, she's illiterate, and one charming-ish vampire offers to help her with reading lessons and a whole lot more. Out of the goodness of his heart, of course.

    Then one night, she unwittingly brings him smut for their lesson.

    ---

    "In the Embrace... of... the... Nig... Nig-het..."

    "Night, sweet thing," Astarion says softly. "G beside H is silent."

    "Right," Tav says, looking again. "So, In the Embrace of the Night... stalker."

    "Try again."

    Tav studies the letters. She spots her mistake. "Nightsucker."

    Astarion nods.

    She looks very pleased with herself, beaming at him. "Got it! What's the problem, again?"

    The vampire closes his eyes and holds his hands in prayer position in front of his lips as if he's steeling himself. He opens his scarlet eyes and moves his hands away. "Shall I read you a page or two to start? Maybe then you'll understand."

    Summary

    He watches, his thoughts a jumbled mess of malice and mirth, as the poor vendor sweats and stammers.

    Every needle and thread he ever owned he did unspeakable acts for, just to keep the clothes on his back from fraying, from flaying the way his skin so often did.

    He sees as his companion lowballs the merchant and yet the trade is made, and the fine satin fabric is hers for the taking.

    She gifts it to him with a smile, and he knows not how to react.

     ~*~

    Or: Five times Astarion is reminded of owning nothing, and five times his traveling companion gifts him trinkets to change that.

    Summary

    “I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”

    “I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”

    “The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”

    “Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

    --

    The Vampire Ascendent has crossed a line. Eleven years after making the biggest mistake of her life and losing the man she loved, tiefling wizard (now Archmage) Rosalie decides it’s time to put this Astarion in the ground for good. Hopefully, both her head and her heart are strong enough to see this awful task through to its end.
