They both reach for the light. Two sunflowers

Astaron reaches for a special, important light, the one inside his heart

[captainaceofspades]

Modern day Astarion needs to find means to make money.

Finds about dubious "coaching".

Starts a business where he offers "life advice" but truly it's just him roasting his clients for an hour straight.

For some reason people are coming back everytime.

A sunflower always reaches for the sun. It is a flower of strength: it remains true to its source of warmth and light, even when it is far away. Its yearning for the light is repaid with a harvest and the strength of its roots. Like Spawn Astarion, he seeks not only the literal light, the way to walk under the sun, but something far more important: the light of happiness.

Reaching for the light is the journey of strength 🌻

"I can go on all night with the flattery, but is that really all you want?"

[captainaceofspades]

This is the best idea in the history of film.

“What did you think I was going to say? ‘Oh, come here, i’ll kiss it better?’” yes astarion that's exactly what i expected.. short drabble / little hcs

tw for like. a slight wound, but astarion is all up in it with his mouth so

you hiss as the knife slices your hand. it's a clean cut, and rather small, but it still stings a little. you were cutting up apple slices, and you used a little too much force, causing the knife to slip and cut your palm. dropping the apple, you hurry over to the bathroom and place your hand over the sink, not wanting to get blood everywhere.

like a moth to a flame, astarion shows up in the doorway. "i thought i smelled something delicious," he grins and shuffles beside you. while your rummaging through the shared medicine cabinet, for bandages and what not, he grabs your wrist and brings it up to his lips. "want me to kiss it better?" you huff out a laugh, but nod anyway.

astarion brings his lips to the cut on your hand, and kisses it, gently. he lightly licks the blood around the cut, careful to not irritate the wound. you can feel his groan against your palm as he savors the sweet taste of your blood. you found what you needed for the wound, but you let him continue, anyway. he sucks on the wound, and you wince a little; astarion lifts his mouth for just a second, still so close you can feel his lips move on your palm, "sorry, dearest." the next time his lips meet your skin, it's soft and gentle.

once the cut stops bleeding, astarion lifts his mouth again. not before licking all the blood that might've spilled down your wrist or arm, not wanting to waste a drop. "there, all better." he gives the cut another gentle kiss, and grins at you while you bandage the wound. maybe it's a placebo effect, but you swear the cut doesn't hurt as bad as it did before.

now. headcanons.

after the initial mocking response of “What did you think I was going to say? ‘Oh, come here, i’ll kiss it better?’” and you two are getting serious, i think he is the type to kiss it better.

astarion, of course, licks the blood off your wounds; always asking beforehand, though. he's careful not to make it worse, and mostly stays on the outside of the wounds.

but even more, he kisses them. tending to keep them gentle and light. he'll kiss your cuts, bruises, or scrapes.

when you have headaches, he'll kiss your temples. astarion will kiss your joints when you have joint pain. he'll press soft, comforting kisses to your chest when it feels heavy.

you swear he's some type of wizard, because those gentle kisses do help you feel better; like a healing balm across your whole body. astarion loves that he can make you feel better, wether it be by stabbing whoever gave you those wounds, or kissing them better.
