Summary
When she’d helped Astarion ascend, it had seemed like the right choice for a multitude of reasons.
It would make him stronger, for one, in the fight against the Elder Brain. The odds were already so stacked against them; it made sense to make him the Vampire Ascendant.
He would never fear anything again. That mattered to Auri, and it mattered a lot. She’d known it would change him. She’d known it would ruin whatever love they had. She simply wanted him to feel safe.
And before every other consideration, it was what he wanted. If there was anything that she’d tried to impress on him in the weeks leading up to that moment, it was that what he wanted was important.

Summary
“Go.” Auri's voice is hoarse. “This isn't your problem.”
Astarion's eyes narrow. “If you really think that I'm going to leave you here by yourself–”
“Astarion, please.” Again, Auri begs. “Something was wrong with that meat I ate. It feels infernal. Everything’s so warm. I can't–”

Summary
Astarion tilts his head to the side, considering her. “Surely your needs can't be so difficult to meet. It sounds like you've had bad lovers.”
Shadowheart snorts. Auri can't stop thinking about what Astarion said in bed the other night. She says, “The problem is that I have trouble letting go of control with people that I don't trust. And people that I trust are few and far between.”
Astarion smirks. “Yes, I can see how that would be difficult. I tend to be the one doing the controlling, if we can call it that, but letting it go can be just as…” Astarion trails off as if searching for the perfect word. “Fulfilling.”
Auri blinks. “W– what?”

Summary
It’s perfect. It’s all the independence that Shadowheart values with none of the loneliness that she thought might accompany such a life.
All sex before was mediocre compared to this. Shadowheart wants for nothing.
Well. Almost nothing.

Summary
Astarion’s not staring, really. And he’s more than happy with what he and Auri have. Sex has been fun for some time, now, to Astarion’s surprise–
But she’s always had a jealous streak. As Astarion’s eyes trace the path that a bead of sweat trails down Halsin’s bare bicep, he can feel Auri watching. His gaze slides to her, and Auri’s eyes narrow.
Astarion’s often the one in charge, but he’s been known to press his luck on occasion. If the tadpole still connected them, he knows exactly what Auri would say as he steps closer to Halsin.
Brat.

Summary
Astarion hates that she’s doing this, but he doesn’t get a say. He lost the right when he became the Vampire Ascendant, when he ended things after Auri refused to become a spawn.
Here in the boudoir in the House of Hope, Auri doesn’t have to think about any of that at all. The terms of the deal are simple enough, and she’s in no position to turn down his help. They need the Orphic Hammer, which means they need to know where Raphael’s safe is, which means they need to know where the key to Raphael’s safe is.

Summary
Auri’s young. She’s innocent. Astarion’s not sure if she’s ever known another’s touch below the waist at all. When she rolls her hips, seeking any kind of pressure, it’s not intentional. He would balk at the idea under most circumstances. Sex is another form of torture. It might not be with her blood coursing through him.
He opens his mouth to entertain the idea–
And Auri’s body goes limp in his arms.
Astarion blinks. When he licks the blood from her neck, she doesn’t move. His chin is no doubt painted red. Panic swells in his breast, but Auri’s chest rises and falls. She’s not dead. She’s just an idiot. “Stupid girl,” Astarion whispers.
It’s for the best. He might have done something Auri would have regretted.
auri and astarion meet before the nautiloid ever flies over baldur's gate. and who wouldn't want to lose their virginity to a vampire?

Summary
“Where’d you learn to fight like that?” the boy asks. “You took the one’s head clean off–”
“Your head’s about to follow it,” Astarion mutters. A little louder, he says, “You are not worth the pittance your mother is offering for you.”
Normally, he wouldn’t have taken the job at all, but today isn’t like most days. Today marks a year since that night at the Crimson Palace, since Auri talked him down from ascension, since he killed all his ghosts–
Since he stole freedom.
