astarion and laera's first time doesn't happen as it does in game. 😳

undecided if it happens at the party bc i triggered it earlier than that but in the beginning, laera wasn't sleeping in camp unless she was in a tent with maeve. she was usually on the periphery somewhere, alone. so she does this, after having an earlier conversation with astarion where they tease each other, and laera is saying without saying that she wants to see him later.

he follows her a little later on. she's set up her area with a fire pit, and they banter back and forth before astarion basically calls her on her shit for playing hard to get and oop they kiss.

clothes come off and laera rides him before they switch. 🥵

outing myself, but not-so-surprisingly i think about astarion/laera a lot. 😔

i'm in the process of writing a private thing and i can't wait to get to THIS MOMENT bc it's so so important for their relationship, and laera herself. ( re: anders. )

repost of an old meme that magically disappeared from my blog along with my response.  🔪

three little ship facts about laer bear and starry:

i. laera and astarion relate to each other in a number of ways, but i think the largest ( and most important ) is that they are power driven individuals that have both had control over their lives taken from them without choice. laera, by the church of tyr, and for astarion, by cazador. they know what it's like to have zero control, and the powerlessness that comes from it. this is something they have mutually experienced and share in, and whether it be twenty years or two-hundred years, neither will accept the possibility of it ever happening to them again. absolute freedom, to them, can only be achieved through power and strength, and using any and all advantages for their own gains, even at others' expense.

ii. he calls her sweetest. when he referred to her as ' darling ', she snapped at him and warned him never to call her that again ( and truthfully, he thought he was making an attempt to insult her ). dare i say, she likes it; it’s cute, and laera, who is a not-so-secret romantic, finds it endearing.

iii. she always asks to touch him. no matter how insignificant it may seem -- tucking away a stray hair, holding his hand, caressing his cheek -- she always, always asks for his permission.
