"We all desire what we cannot have." From Astarion

𓆣 ╰    ‘ 𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑾𝑬𝑹𝑬𝑫 ╱ @voicestm

Velyrian was happy when someone from camp approached him for conversation. Despite knowing that they found him . . . unsettling, he didn't mind ; they had treated him with more kindness than most outside his circle ever had.

The 𝐇𝐄𝐗𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎�� had been quiet, though very attentive, bundling dried herbs as he listened.

Then, he looked at Astarion, apparently contemplating ( for an awkwardly long moment ).

"Sometimes, when we try to reach for the stars, we overlook the most beautiful flowers blooming at our feet," he finally spoke, his voice soft like the evening breeze and laced with an accent from the North. "The words of my mentor. I believe she was right. I believe . . . that true happiness often blossoms from cherishing what we already have."

"Hm . . ." The 𝐇𝐄𝐗𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃 mused, taking his time to contemplate Tareque's words as he stared into his glass of wine before slowly turning to him —— mismatched eyes meeting his. "Are you speaking from experience?"

All sentences and quotes have been taken from different media about starcrossed lovers or forbidden love, full of angst, some bold words, some nasty ones, possessive nature and letting someone use you as a replacement. So, some toxic energy in this one. Change pronouns, locations and names as you see fit.

I love you,and I will love you until I die,and if there's a life after that,I'll love you then.

Do people always fall in love with things they can't have?

And there is a difference between having your heart break and having your soul shatter.

I'm falling in love with you.

I'm going to fuck the shit out of you. I have waited for this for such a long time. Consequences be damned.

These violent delights have violent ends.

 I’m only human. And you are …all-consuming.

Don’t go into this lightly. If you’re mine, you need to understand I will burn the fucking world to the ground for you.

I will never let you go, do you hear me? 

 will keep you safe. And I will find a way for us to be together.

If you make me cry at my own coronation ball, I’ll never forgive you.

If you were any less the man you are, I would beg you to take me with you.

If you were any less the woman you were, I would beg you to come with me.

I've known lust. This is something worse. This is a barbaric need to possess, to eliminate, to own. This is madness.

This is lust.

She’s your very own forbidden fruit.

You said you didn't want this.

We all desire what we cannot have.

Have you noticed how the boy looks at you?

Do you think I didn’t notice? The way you look at me when you think I’m not watching?

You are dangerous desire, and I am your prisoner.

We can’t do this on so many levels.

I can't even whisper her name, my heart would burst out of my chest.

But I would fight against the stars for you.

I have ruined your life.

Some lines you just don't cross. 

I want to take you under the moonlight.

Having something forbidden is exciting, don't you agree?

The closer we get—the more I let you in…the more dangerous this gets.

Don’t you get it? You’re what everyone wants! But I’m not going to let them win.

Make it so I never have to dream about this again—make it so we can have this…forever.

Desires are what can most easily ruin us, lovely.

We were doomed from the start. 

Nothing is as deadly as the love of a powerful man.

But this kiss? It's ruined me. This is the type of kiss I never knew existed. 

You sure about that, Dad? Because he's done everything to me.

Are you scared of me now?

You loved me - then what right had you to leave me?

I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.

One moment, you give me everything that I want, and in the next, you snatch all of that away.

It's hopeless. We can never work out.

The world didn’t want us together so I forged a new one where we would.

How could a peacock lust for a lion?

You're tattooed onto my skin, and the more I try to erase you, the deeper you sink in.

I’ve always liked you, from the first moment I saw you.

It's absurd how crazy love can make you...but even more absurd how stupid jealousy can make you.

 That you and I are meant to be together, but never meant to be.

Why does fate seem always to conspire against us? To deny us life's simple pleasures?

We'll meet after this war. I'll certainly find you wherever you'll hide. 

War makes fools of men and women wanton.

What offends you most, Father? That she's Catholic, or that she's poor?

If my father discovers you here, he'd cut off your little nuts and eat them. He can't stand you.

You tempress, I see you once and all I can think of is having you.

Feelings are forbidden, does not mean we cannot enjoy one another.

The more you deny me, the more I desire you. You are a plague in my mind.

Ever since we met, no one else can compare. 

How can I be with someone else, when I’m with them, it’s you I see.

You can have me, think of whoever you love. For tonight.

You can pretend I'm her/him. I don't care. I just want you.

Velyrian was startled —— his head snapping up to meet the gaze of the stranger with mismatching eyes.

Oh.

In an inexplicable manner, he sensed it ; the 𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 draped over them both. They weren't quite alike, yet undeniably similar.

For an awkwardly long moment, he just looked at the other, lost in contemplation. Curious.

"It's a beautiful flower," he then said, a soft smile on his ( strangely greenish ) lips as he turned his attention back to the plant, watching it fondly. His voice was gentle, quiet like the whispering of the breeze, laced with a Northern accent if one listened closely.

"It saddens me that so few appreciate it. After all, it graces the remains of their loved ones without wanting anything in return."

There were certain herbs that only grew along the outskirts of graveyards, drawn to the rare flavor of magic that coursed through the grounds. Tareque was always mindful never to harvest too much from the patches, lest they cease flourishing.

He was carefully folding the grey blooms into a piece of muslin when a curious sensation grasped him. The lich's right eyebrow arched, but he continued packing the herbs before he finally allowed his curiosity to guide him.

The stranger may not have heard the approach as Tareque was drifting aloft, arms crossed over his chest while he floated nearer, just watching. His lips quirked when he watched the flowers of the other's focus restoring.

"I have never seen someone so considerate of a Gravebloom," he mused, if quietly. To most, it was typically a weed or a potion reagent.

He stood there, his mismatching eyes ( one blind and eerily bloodshot, nearly black ; the other a spring green ) unblinking, his face pallid and yet strangely serene as he raised his hands in a gesture of peace.

"Please…," he implored once more. His voice was soft, oddly tranquil despite the circumstances, carrying an accent from the North. "Spilling my blood won't solve anything…"

When the chaos and noise of BALDUR'S GATE became too much for him to bear, Velyrian sought solace in the graveyard — — such as today.

The 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐃 tended to be more accepting of the hexblood than the living...

Kneeling beside a weathered grave marker, he gently brushed his fingers over the delicate petals of the withered flowers, coaxing the blossoms to bloom anew.

A soft smile graced his lips ( strangely greenish ) ; he was lost in thought, lost in the beauty of life sprouting atop of rotting corpses.

He didn't even notice someone was approaching.

Random general RP prompts, without cursing, requested by anon. Feel free to edit pronouns / etc. to make them more fitting !

“Oh my god, what is that !?”

“You should have seen them. I could hardly breathe with their ego taking up all the space in the room.”

“Hey, hey, stop. I literally have no idea of what you're talking about. How about you start from the beginning? Or at least put a subject in your sentences.”

“C'mon, who never had a ‘spaghetti coming out of the nose’ moment?”

“You insufferable...piece of...rotten lemon pie!”

“Do as I say and not as I do. For real, though. You don't want to do what I do. I don't want to do what I do.”

“I thought I’d never set foot in a place like this, but here we are. Congratulations on making my life a little more miserable.”

“Sometimes I wonder why I even bother. I might as well be talking to myself. I surely listen more to myself than you do.”

“Keep up the cocky act, it’ll only make you lose faster.”

“From where I’m standing, you’re the one who should be worrying.”

“Give me some credit. I know that I’m not a good person, but I like thinking that I can be a decent friend.”

“The only thing I trust humans with is dying when you shoot them.”

“How can you be vulnerable with someone who has shut you out over and over?”

“Yeah, not buying it. What is it that you truly want?”

“You know, now I have to challenge you at a drinking game.”

“Absolutely not. Don’t even think about it.”

“...Maybe I just need a real break.”

“I’d say that it’s nice to meet you, but maybe the circumstances could have been more…ideal.”

“You can’t be serious! Don’t you see what’s at stake here?!”

“Oh Lord, you gotta be kidding me. This will take forever.”

“Have you tried telling them that? It’s easy to forget that not everyone grieves in the same way.”

“Look at you, showing some actual good taste. I’m almost impressed.”

“Let’s skip over you judging me and talk business. Will you or won’t you?”

“Don’t get funny ideas. I’m just choosing the lesser evil.”

“Oh yeah? So, what? Are you saying that my problems will miraculously fix themselves, if I talk about them?”

“Let’s bet on it. The winner gets to make the loser do one thing. Whatever they want, no limits.”

“You must be really bored if this is how you chose to spend your night.”

“Patience, [name]. I thought you liked surprises.”

“I really wouldn't do that, if I were you.”

“Anything you’d like to say to plead your case?”

Still a WIP! These verses are just here to offer ideas for potential settings to start off, but in no way are we obligated to stick to them!

I. Tadpoled (Tav / Tadpoled Companion) ; main verse Any time during the in-game events. II. Savior (Tav / Tadpoled Companion) Post-game events. Vel stayed to help rebuild the city and tend to the wounded. III. New in Town Perhaps the spirits have called upon him, or perhaps it was his duty to maintain nature's balance. Despite his aversion to large cities, he traveled to Baldur's Gate to offer his skills in the fight against the Absolute. Similar to the Tav verse.
