suck the rot right out of my bloodstream by FlowerCitti
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
31 Aug 2023

Summary
Astarion moves his legs just slightly to press against Casmir’s broad shoulder, a teasing point of contact. The tiefling doesn’t shift away.
But his hands still haven’t moved to tend to Astarion’s wound. “Can I touch you?”
Astarion stares at them for a few moments, meeting that burning gaze, fanned by thick lashes. People don’t often ask him that—they just do. It didn’t matter whether he wanted them to or not, only that he was a pretty thing they wanted to get their hands on.
He shakes his head before he can fade away into bad memories, blinking several times. He smirks instead, slipping into flirtation easily, eyes lidded and something like revulsion at himself bubbling in his gut, “As much as you’d like, my dear.”
(Or, Astarion has had his consent revoked for over two centuries. Then he meets Casmir.)

Summary
Casmir is strangely quiet above him. Astarion hums quietly, lips pressing a kiss against his abdomen.
“Was that good, darling?” He teases, though there’s a genuine question in his tone as he smiles into the man’s skin, feeling both warm and content.
There’s a sticky heat on the back of Astarion’s neck, curving down his nape, and as he breathes he realizes that Casmir still hasn’t said a word. He looks up curiously to find Casmir’s hand suspended in air, his claws stained red.
(Or, Casmir gets distracted and scratches Astarion a little too hard. He doesn’t take it well.)

Summary
He didn’t have much of a frame of reference to compare Casmir to, of course, not when his parade of lovers were excluded to nights that ended in their deaths. But what he has with Casmir is—different. Wholly unique in its own right. Astarion cares about them more than he ever has for another person before, and the thought is still just a little terrifying.
And even if Astarion still doesn’t quite understand it, it was obvious that Casmir cared about him too.
So there he laid with a new problem—intimacy. Sex. Fucking. Whatever you wished to bloody call it.
(Or, Astarion realizes that he doesn’t want sex.)

you only feel it when it’s lost (gettin’ through still has a cost) by FlowerCitti

Summary
Astarion is quiet, when all is said and done.
Casmir keeps a careful eye on him as they make their trek back to the inn, somewhere they can rest and heal. Astarion is unsteady on his feet, floaty, his ruby eyes glassy. As if he were miles and miles away from here, as if he were still in that Gods damned castle. He’s swallowed by Casmir’s undershirt, the only thing the tiefling had on hand that he could spare for him. Astarion’s pale face is stained copper with blood, clumps stuck in his hair and caught in his flickering lashes.
(Or, Casmir takes care of Astarion after Cazador’s death.)

water down what I call being grateful by FlowerCitti for LadyRagnelle

Summary
Casmir laughs softly, Astarion’s flirting washing over him and rolling off like water against silken feathers. He had realized early that it was a careful mask, Astarion’s face like the perfect porcelain of a doll and his eyes just as dead. Casmir has to wonder how no one else had noticed before—and then realizes that they likely hadn’t wanted to. Astarion was beautiful and his words were honeyed and dripping sweetness, anything with a pulse would likely weep to have his attentions turned on them.
But Casmir could see behind it every once in a while, finding something much quieter and more precious than what Astarion put on like a veneer of glitter and gold.
(Or, Casmir likes doing kind things for Astarion. Astarion doesn't know how to deal with that.)

Summary
“Did you have a bad dream?” Casmir asks suddenly, looking up at Astarion with eyes like dripping honey, glassy with something Astarion can’t name.
Astarion repositions himself over the log they’re both perched upon, shifting with a sudden uneasiness, “I don’t sleep. You know this.”
“But you still—dream, to some extent. Relive memories when you trance.”
Astarion does, as much as he wishes that he wouldn’t.
(Or, Astarion’s tadpole unexpectedly shares a bad memory with Casmir.)

Summary
“I’ve been thinking, darling. About us, naturally.” Astarion starts, his pale fingers playing along the inner side of Casmir’s wrist, turning so that their eyes can meet.
“Yes?” They prompt with a soft and easy smile when Astarion is silent for several moments.
“Well—” Astarion sucks in a quiet breath, looking down for just a moment before his head jerks back up, “I want you to hurt me.”
(Or, Astarion has a request. Casmir obliges.)
