    Summary

    “Oh, gods forbid they respond positively to you doing a good thing,” Neve deadpans. She squeezes him a little again. “That’s sort of how it works, Astarion.”

    She can’t even see it. Believes the best of them all so earnestly, himself included, that she can’t see how it would all fall away without her at the center. It’s enough to make a person feel like they might actually deserve it.

    “And by it, you mean…?” he asks instead.

    Her huffed laugh of disbelief ruffles the hair at his neck. “Friendship, you idiot,” she answers. “And the general acquisition thereof.”

    Astarion cuts a sideways look at her as best he can with her still nestled so close. “And is that what we are? Friends?”

    He’d meant it to tease her, and yet finds that the silence before her answer twists his stomach. Because…he doesn’t actually know, either.

    “Yes, Astarion,” Neve says gently, after a moment. “I think we’re very good friends.”

    -

    Neve and Astarion, continued. She's not a victim. Not a target. Not just one night it's better to forget. But then...whatever in the world could she be?

    Summary

    “Well,” he croons, “The fun doesn’t have to be entirely one-sided. Our time could very well be limited. You help me with my condition…and I could help you with yours.”

    “My condition?” she asks, her eyebrows now arched to maximum height.

    Astarion tilts his head. “Darling, it’s bad enough that we might burst into tentacles any day now. I would hate to see you die a virgin.”

    -

    Neve already had her hands full, what with trying to keep her companions from killing each other and pushing forward in the face of an uncertain fate. Then the vampire had to go and decide she was sweet enough to want to sink his teeth into.

    Another take on how things unfold post-bite.

    Summary

    “You didn’t seem to mind it much, by the way. Being eaten alive. For a moment, I thought, have I been wrong all these years? I always expected a person would react to being bitten by driving a stake through my heart, not putting their tongue in my–”

    Tav grit her teeth. “Astarion, tragic backstory or no, I will still gladly punt you into next tenday.”

    Summary

    What danger could lay in the streets where the lights never went out?

    A vampire, for one.

    OR: Ast and Tav are into CNC (hunter/prey dynamics). Because the vampire instincts are vampire instincts.
