Astarion plays with your tail (Tiefling Tav)

BASED ON THIS ADORABLE FANART

Warnings: Tickling, Fluffy-fluff, tiny bit of angst, mention of Cazador and Astarion’s life as his spawn, Astarion can’t live without Tav, Tav uses she/her pronouns

Astarion gazed at his beautiful Tiefling lover as she slept soundly beside him. 

His fingers playfully pet her tail. Almost instinctively, she swiped it away. His fingers danced along the blankets before barely brushing it this time Tav swiped it away again. 

He did it again, teasing his fingers against the spade of her tail. She wrapped her tail around his arms and pulled him towards her. The elf covered his face is mock shame 

“ASTARION!” she shrieked

“I didn't realize you were so sensitive, sweetheart.” failing to contain the laugh he held behind his fingers 

“I'm not! It's just a little…”

“What?”

“Ticklish.”

“Oh” 

“Astarion.” She warned, a smile on her lips. 

“Oh, this is going to be fun.”

“Astarion!!”

She giggle-screamed, tucking her tail under herself. He climbed on top of her, kissing her as he went. His arms pinned her to the ground. He bit her ear. His hands ran down her sides, she sighed as he bit her neck, his fingers slipped behind her to fondle her tail. 

She squealed under him, laughing until tears pricked at the edges of her eyes. He gave the end of her tail a gentle kiss once he was satisfied with teasing her. 

She pulled him into her chest, his chin rested on her breasts as he looked up at her, mischievously. 

“That was cruel.” She pouted.

“Diabolical.” He continued.

“Downright sadistic.”

“Well, you knew that about me already.”

Tav threw her head back with a giggle. She pet Astarion’s hair with gentle care and ease. Her fingers traced every wave and tousel, careful not to pull at any knots. 

Astarion sighed, his eyes fluttered closed as he cuddled further into Tav’s chest. His arms wrapped tighter around her, and Tav could feel their breathing synchronize. 

Sleep came quickly for them, but neither could ever stay asleep for long. 

Normally one of them would wake up from a nightmare, or hunger. For Astarion it was usually a combination of both. In the early hours before dawn, Tav rose from her slumber. It was still dark enough to feel the chill of night, but early enough that she could smell the morning dew. 

Astarion was still at her side, book in hand. His eyes were heavy, but his presence pulsed with lucidity. Tav wondered if he ever actually fell asleep.

He smiled at her, with warmth and a shadow of sadness. 

“Go back to sleep, love. We still have a few hours.”

“Then you should come too.” Her arms opened in invitation, beckoning him back to their shared bedroll. 

“I’m already wide awake. Don’t worry about me.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m fine. Go back to bed.”

“You seem upset. I’m not going back to sleep until you tell me.”

He shut the book, slightly annoyed and curled beside her. His arms pulled her into his chest this time, and he began petting her hair like she did to him the night before. 

“I’ve never had anything like… this before.” Tav lifted her head to meet his glassy eyes. “Cuddling, tender touches, gods forbid tickling.”

“Really? No one special ever stayed the night?”

“Hardly. Most of my encounters were brief, flitting, because Cazador fed on them that night.” Astarion’s gaze drifted. “I was just pretty meat tasked with bringing back more meat, by whatever means necessary.” His face fell again. Tav ran her fingers up his chin with gentle care. Their eyes finally met again. “So no, I didn’t have many cuddle buddies.”

“And how do you feel about it now?”

“I love it.” Astarion admitted, a shy blush creeped up his cheeks and neck.  “Gods, I love it so much, it’s sickening.” As a sneer curled on his lips. He kissed the top of her head. Tav giggled. “I know that if anything were to ever happen to you, it would utterly destroy me. I need you alive, my love. Promise me you’ll stay alive.”

Tav sat at eye level with him now. 

“I promise, my star.”

Astarion held her impossibly close, comforted by the gentle beat of her heart. A heart that would keep beating for him. 

ALWAYS LOOKING FOR COMMENTS/CRITIQUE ON WRITING. I whipped this up pretty quick bc I couldn't get that fanart out of my head. I would love to add this to a bigger fic, definitely need some more descriptive language. Would love to hear thoughts. Thank you :)

Original Content Creators to Follow: MHA

Not saying any of these are particularly small accounts but some of their videos just have a way of staying with you. Below are some of my favorite creators flush with original ideas, head canons and storylines. While some cosplay, the emphasis here is def on their overall flourish for skits featuring your favorite My Hero Academia characters. See anyone you weren’t already following on this list or have recommendations, let me know because there’s plenty more where these come from!

⚠️ Spoiler Warning: Accounts contain content that is largely spoiler free up to, I believe, chapter 290 (shortly after S5 ends but has a big reveal). Any video linked in green is spoiler free beyond that point and draws from original storylines by these creators. Peruse at your own risk if you're not caught up.

CHECK THEM OUT (if you haven’t already)

peachycub - I’ve shared a video of hers before but when I tell you I stayed up until 4AM on a work day cackling while watching like every. single. one. of her series and videos.. just follow her. The premise of her Denki Facetimes series (currently there are 4 separate storylines but I linked my fave), is largely the relationship between busybody head ass Denki and his increasingly familiar FaceTimes with Dadzawa who you see progresses from “I-don’t-get-paid-enough-for-this” to “spill-the-tea-Denki”. Features appearances from other characters including Denki’s object of affection, Shinsou, in increasingly hilarious/awkward set ups. One of my favorite vids that can be watched as a stand-alone is above for your entertainment.

samsolvethis - you will laugh, you will cry, and the characterization for each character is so. spot. on. 🤣 Plenty of long form series (usually in cosplay) which takes tons of writing and coordination, and probably features your favorite 🏳️‍🌈 pairing. Account is like 96% MHA so worth a follow if you’re a stickler about that.

Bonus: the Confession Quirk series, idk where all the ideas came from for these little confessions but they slayed me. You can stay up all night and ride the emotional rollercoaster of the many storylines available on this account.

sukunasfoot - as the name suggests, you’ll see content from other series like JJK and Haikyuu. Some of these skits seem to be the nonsensical products of fever dreams gone right ✨ which is right up my alley. Unlikes some of the other creators on this list, most of the videos are standalone ideas.

Bonus: Concepts range but I really love the random videos where MHA boys recreate Mina's Makeup routine and pretty sure Bakugo being a bad bitch is canon.

noah.i.c - MHA content ranges from angst due to his stellar emoting to the hilarious reimagining relationship dynamics. In particular, I love the much needed Bakugo and Uraraka besties to my favorite Trans!Bakugo/Trans!Uraraka in the series SPITEBABY. Expect to find some delightful rare pairs on this account. You'll see some non-MHA related content but his acting skills are pretty bewitching so I doubt you'll mind.

leighpeaches - you cannot tell me that she is not Shouta Aizawa and the content doesn't just stop with these brilliant insights into the mind of our favorite parent/teacher combo. She also has a lot of nice soft Dadzawa head canons to rattle off which I love.

Bonus: If you're lucky, you'll catch her when she busts out her Tsuyu voice. But a lot of her class 1a voices are adorably spot on.

happypancake234 - largely comedy skits with great head canons thrown in for razzle dazzle also features additional (but minor if this is a sticking point) videos about JJK, SK8 and other seasonal content.

Bonus: the HatsuIida rare pair series is so bizarrely canon, obsessed.

trixxygirl - the Baku & Deku Squads as Kids series made following a quick decision but there are a few other notable mentions including a focus on Bakugo as a kid/menace to society.

victoriatakami - I am mildly obsessed with this video about the pro heroes and their merch and appreciate that this creator really gives shine to characters (like Miruko!) that a lot of people don’t focus on. Expect additional content from One Piece and reaction vids to other seasonal releases, as well.

livmayacosplay - do you want to be sad? Do you want to hear some really well thought out interpretations of the inner workings of class 1A and what causes them to break? Let’s go.

Bonus: Froppy voice.

YOU’RE PROBABLY ALREADY FOLLOWING (because you absolutely should)

brownbakugo (VA) - the sheer amount of chaos these dubs convey makes sense why they’re frequently illustrated by hella fanimators and why you know Todoroki goes by “IcyThot” on Thursdays. Just impeccable commitment to whatever ideas people throw out including crossover scenarios with other shows. It’s hard to pick a favorite so get lost in this worm hole.

marsmignon (VA) - you’re not on MHA tok if you haven’t heard his dubs and the breadth of characters he’s able to bring to life is masterful as evidenced in this Cotton Eyed Crow video.

bluesbirb - so many hysterical series, it's hard to pick one to share. This is another creator where, upon finding them, I spent all night laughing. I literally have no idea how one person can dream up so much. Expect *much deserved* Endeavor slander with wholesome Todoroki sibling bonding + Hawks and cast crossovers with the likes of Marvel, SK8, etc.

Bonus: Clowning Aizawa during Christian Girl Autumn.
