So many times Astarion dreamt of this day.
He would never forget the night he made love to you so intensely, so deeply, that you ended up carrying the seed of your love.
During the pregnancy he would care for you so much, from drawing you warm baths and massaging you back, to holding up your hair and making you soup.
At night he would hold you close protectively, daring anyone to try and hurt you. His hand always rested on the swell of your belly as he kissed your forehead.
Then time flew, the changes to your body would get him so emotional, to the point that one morning, as you were standing in front of the mirror, gently caressing where the baby would have been, that he cried as he wrapped his arms around you.
He was so proud, he would show you off. Whenever one of your friends would come over, he'd keep you close and praised you for being so strong.
On the topic of praises, Astarion could spend the whole day reminding you how beautiful you were carrying that tiny life in you. He'd kiss your belly and then your heart, before worshiping you like his goddess.
Later in the pregnancy, when your body would ache, he'd made sure you could rest as much as possible. He'd take all your errands and complete them before you even had the chance to get up from the nest he made for you.
When pain would jolt through you, he'd try to caress it away. "My love, I wish I could take your pain away" He'd trace soothing shapes while holding you to his chest.
He'd wipe away your tears as you clung to him, weak. "Darling, you are so strong, carrying our precious baby in you, and enduring all this pain."
Then before he could even process, the day had arrived.
He had prepared your morning bath, and helped you in the water. You'd rest against his chest, as he absorbed all your body heat. He'd make sure to clean every inch of your skin, while washing away the sleepiness off your bodies.
Until the sharp pain hit you, so bad you couldn't sit straight. He'd help you breathe, just how Halsin and Shadowheart taught you. He'd wipe away the tears, hoping that the pain would be just fleeting, but a while later, as you were reaching for your night robe, another bolt of pain hit you.
Astarion guided you up the bed, drying off your forehead as you'd wince in pain over and over, until he came to the conclusion that it wasn't the random pain you'd feel through the day, but the contractions.
He wouldn't hesitate to reach for the scroll he kept on his nightstand, ready for use as suggested by the druid.
Then, before he could even process, all your friends crowded your bed chamber. You'd still lay there, your body trembling and aching while everyone rushed back and forth.
Astarion on the other hand, took it on him to cradle you to him. "You can do it, my love. Our baby is almost here" He'd whisper lovingly.
Before another contraction would hit, another bath was drawn for you.
Astarion once more guided you to it. He was ordered to stay just at the edge of the tub, holding you from there, until you were barking at everyone. You wanted him closer, there with you as fear started swirling along all those overwhelming feelings.
He'd smugly smile at Shadowheart as he took you in his arms again. Your safe space, you called it.
He'd help you out to keep the squatting position, while contractions became quicker and stronger.
You'd rest your forehead against his as you couldn't hold back the tears anymore. "You are almost there, my sweet" He was no longer whispering, for once he'd let everyone hear his love as his fingers held your hips.
"Just one more one my love, you are so strong" He'd hold one of your hands as you were rocked by the water. He'd encourage you as you pushed, and pushed, and pushed, until a cry echoed in the room.
He still held you close while Jaheira cleaned you up, and healed the broken skin.
The time stopped though as Halsin finally put the tiny creature in your arms. His eyes were a fountain as he admired how you held your baby, how you'd introduce him.
"Look, my sun" You'd whisper as the tiny hand clasped at your index finger. "That’s your dada" You'd coo as you'd point at him.
The kind of sound that Astarion made was everything: a sob so full of joy. Then you'd invite him to hold the baby, and his heart felt so full.
He swore to himself that he'd protect you with his everything, your little family.
He was so afraid of accidentally hurting the baby as he traced the soft cheeks with his finger, and before he could process, the baby's tiny lips twisted in the most heart shattering smile.
Every sound was distrant as he'd be lost in your little bubble. You three sat there just taking each other in.
No one dared to break that little corner of heaven, until Gale's sob caught the pointy ears.
When Astarion would look up, his friends were all still there. Karlach, Gale and Wyll trying to hold the tears back, passing each other tissues as they wept.
Shadowheart and Halsin were trying to get Lae'zel to reason, as she wanted the baby to hold their first dagger.
Jaheira instead came near the three of you, still in each other's embraces.
"Little cub, you should move to the bed and rest" She'd offer her hand to get you all out of the water.
The baby rested in your arms, against your chest as he reached for your towel, wrapping it around your shoulders. He'd take his towel as well, and an extra one, big enough for the little one, before joining you in your bedchamber.
Nothing else matters but the two of you laying in bed. The baby asleep on your chest as you'd finally allowed the tiredness to dawn on you.
You'd look outside the window, the first lights of the morning warmed up the sky with pink hues. Their little sun, they shared the thought while your friends were already fighting for the baby.
Who was gonna hold them first. Who was gonna spoil them. Who would be the cool one. And Karlach was ready to claim those all, whether she had to rage or not.
That's when it hit Astarion. Your family wasn't little, as he called it earlier. It was crowded, full of love and maybe one day he'd admit he didn't mind all these /annoying friends clogging the corners of the home and burst the peace of their walls.
When you awoke, hours later, he was still there. The small bundle of joy laid in his arms as he cradled them closer to his chest.
“you should rest too” you grogged as you smiled softly, your chest swelling at the sight.
He raised his eyes, from the baby to yours, still aching despite looking so peaceful, his eyes swollen from tears.

When referring to Astarion, we should call him an old bat more. He's old, he's silly, and he's a vampire. A triple-meaning love-insult, if you will.

If the BG3 companions went on a road trip, who’s the designated refueler and why is it Astarion
I saw this cosplay on Reddit and immediately had to draw it because I love it so much
Here’s a timelapse of it!

"I've been dead in the ground for long enough. It's time to try living again. With everything life has to offer." ✨it's been a decent amount of time since I painted portraits, but i'm so obsessed with bg3 that i might just paint all the companions soon.✨

going crazy thinking about astarion because he's literally such a feral little fuckhead. disclaimer: i love astarion. he just doesn't know how to prioritize anything that isnt his own direct minute-by-minute survival. he doesn't think ahead. he can't. he doesn't think about the past. he can't. he doesnt think about other people as living, thinking, sentient creatures as or more worthy of life than himself because he CAN'T. it would completely overthrow his worldview and everything he's had to do for nearly 200 years to keep himself alive. he's been tortured and abused into becoming nearly the worst version of himself- and he wasn't really a great person to start- and when he has the opportunity to become an even bigger shithead he scrambles to try and seize it over literally any protest or reason all of the actually-kind-and-supportive people in his life can give. king of fucking up in every conceivable way if he has the vague notion it might make him slightly more powerful. never really stops to think about whether or not it's a good idea. if left to his own devices he'd become a threat to 4 level 12 adventurers, except they'd really only need like 3 good persuasion rolls to end the fight

And if I wrote a paper on how Astarion really doesn't shake the table, how he's not unique and standard challenging, how he's actually the most toxically masculine of the three male companions, how the fandom's obsession with him only exemplifies societal biases, how Larian's favoritism of him damages the game overall, how he shows that audience feedback isn't always great to listen to, how if you changed one thing about him he'd be depicted (by both fandom and the game itself) as completely irredeemable, and ultimately how Astarion is a great character in all the wrong ways, what then?

His lips lingered on your neck, hovering over the punctures as his hands still cradled you to him.
He let out a pleased hum before he kissed the mark, quickly stealing the stray droplets of blood with his lips.
You noticed right away how his body stiffened once he had laid you down. His hand cupped your cheek as you were quickly pulled to his lips. Despite his clear discomfort he pushed himself on top of you, his hips pressing against yours as you gently pushed him away.
“Astarion, stop” You murmured as he stared at you, his eyes full of confusion and something you couldn't quite grasp, but lacking the usual light they kept. His hands were holding the hem of his blouse, ready to be tossed away. He was doing it again.
“Did I do something wrong?” He asked with furrowed brows, as he let go of the cloth.
“Yes, what are you doing?” You asked softly as you sat up, gently moving him with you until he was on his knees next to you.
“I'm clearly repaying you for your kindness” He smiled coy as he crawled few steps closer, one of his fangs peaking our from his lips while his dark eyes tried so hard to paint a different picture from his body. The confidence of his movements was shadowed by the uncertainty pooled in the crimson of his eyes.
You placed a hand on his cheek, softly grazing over his peachy skin. “Astarion, this is not a transaction” You shook your head as you admonished him kindly, your hand lingering on his cheek, focusing on the tense lines of his face, that begged to be eased.
“What do you mean?” He asked, confusion written all over his face, either for your physical response or your logic. Regardless it was foreign to him, everything was a give and take and he had just been given sustenance, it was logical he had to repay you.
“You don't need to repay me for anything” You leaned forward, kissing his cheek. “I'm doing it because I want to do it” You explained, not missing on his confusion.
He hesitated, it was too good to be true. There was something he HAD to give back, either with his blood or his body. Cazador had demanded always something. “I don't believe you, everyone always wants something back.” He crosses his arms and sat back. “No one is kind for free” In a way his harshness was like a slap to you, implying you wanted something back was by far unlike you, but then you remembered. You remembered what it when through and you understood if only briefly and theoretically.
“I never wanted anything back, Astarion.” You explained as he evaluated your words, you just gave him time to let them sink in, all the times he had bedded you, they were not because he had to do it, or because you expected him to fuck you as a payment, but because you wanted to.
“So what am I supposed to do, just get up and leave?” He raised an eyebrow skeptic, despite understanding he still was not completely sold on the idea of taking without giving up something.
“If that's what you want yes” It was astonishing to him how you didn’t hesitate, as if this was the norm, even though Astarion knew. He knew how the world spun and if there was something about it that he grasped effortlessly, was that nothing was free and no one was so selfless. Yet he wanted to believe you, even if just for a second.
“I-” He hesitated. He swore that if he still was alive, his chest would be thumping like crazy in that moment. “Want to give you something back” He lowered his eyes with a sigh. “I don't have much to offer besides sex though” He explained, a wave of nausea hitting him harshly. The mere thought was gagging him as he couldn't help but revive one of the countless nights he was forced to bed someone to survive. How he was devaluated to a simple piece of meat, and yet you saw him as much more than just his cock.
“One: you are much more than sex” You raised one finger up, admonishingly. “Two: if you truly want to do something, then come and lay next to me” Your voice softened, just like your body as you offered a soft smile and patted the softness of your bedroll eagerly.
“What?” It was Astarion only reply.
“Come and lay with me, here, under the duvet, in my arms” You spelled out almost purring like a cat at the idea of cuddles. True that Astarion had cold skin, but it wasn't any less enjoyable, and that seemed like enough of a repayment for you.
“You are kidding right? You want to cuddle” He chuckled holding his stomach, half in disbelief as the previous uncertainty dissolved to give space at the new emotion.
“Yes” You nodded. “I want to hold you and care for you” You scooted to the side and opened your arms for him.
“How's that my way of reciprocating the favour?” He raised an eyebrow, how could something so mere even compare to giving up your blood to feed a vampire.
“You are allowing me to love you” You said simply, urging him to join you with a hand gesture.
“Love?” He asked taken aback.
“The point is” You ignored his question casually. “I’m not giving you blood for sex, I'm doing it cause I know you need it” You gestured for him to come closer again. “and I don't want anything back” You closed your eyes and breathed out. “as a matter of fact, if you don't wanna cuddle you just have to say it and you can leave”
“No, no” He sat up, rejecting the idea of leaving, deep down he enjoyed your company even though most of the times it seemed as if he had to put a mask on, but you knew why it was like that, didn’t you? “Don't get me wrong, I'm confused, but I don't even know how to do it.. what it feels like” He admitted as he ran a hand through his hair.
“Then come here”. You simply said as you lifted the blanket to your legs and invited him in the warmth. “And let me show you, small spoon or big spoon?” You asked casually as he climbed next to you, unsure how to position himself as you draped him with the blanket as well.
“Why does it even matter? I usually prefer using a bigger spoon if I have to pick, though I’m a vampire, why would it matter how I eat soup?” He rolled his eyes as he tried his best to ignore the blush that surfaced on his cheeks once you wrapped your arms around him and dragged him to lay. You couldn’t help the giggle at his sudden naivety as you guided his head on your chest as if to invite him to wrap closer with you.
“This is..” Astarion thought for a moment as he allowed you to handle him while your warmth enveloped him. ‘..nice” He hums as he snuggled closer and closed his eyes.
“I’m glad” You murmured before placing a kiss to his temple and tangling your legs together, he didn’t resist to it, he simply molded with you as you rested together.
The weight of the day slowly sunk on the two of you, and lulled by the cicadas, you were asleep before you could say anything else.

I bet when Arabella joined camp, she was bothering more than just Withers with her questions. She was probably asking everyone there whatever came to mind.
All hell broke loose when she got to Astarion and asked, “If you’re a vampire, then why do you look so old?”
