#oc: celeste aerolyte

I didn't plan this at all but astarions name means little star, and then my tav is celeste, meaning of the sky/celestial

they match 😭😭😭

also astarion being his 'baby name' since he never reached the age to pick his own,,,, sobbing actually

[bearprofessorr]

astarion is so hozier-coded as a romance option cause he doesn't just love he worships, you know? like he is so in awe of Tav that he feels alive again, after centuries of servitude.

just look at him, he's so IN LOVE and she's not even looking AT HIM, this is his genuine reaction to looking at the person he loves more than anything on the whole continent. that's no performance, friends.

writing some self indulgent tav/astarion and i just,,, cant deal with how emotional it is, like he's so afraid of being vulnerable but tav knows and checks in every step of the way and- he just cant deal with someone loving him in return, like hes so used to his feelings meaning nothing for so long asdfgsdfgsdfg

plus it's a post death-revival fic for extra angst (based on what actually happened in my game)

"He stuttered over his words, unable to process hers, eyebrows furrowing as his mind jumped between conclusions. All of them said the same thing. She loved him.

If he had been told this weeks ago, near the beginning of their travels, he would have leveraged it, used it as a tool to seduce her, so that he could know he wouldn’t be betrayed. But now, now that he had fallen in love with Celeste, so deeply that he couldn’t fathom living without her, the mere idea of his feelings being reciprocated broke him."
