Summary
You remember him the way he was when you met, the way you watched him grow up. Your teenage years weren’t beautiful the way they’re supposed to be. You were awkward in your own body, thick and clumsy and unsure. Wyll, however, was always graceful. His limbs lengthened, his voice deepened, and all of it seemed to happen so smoothly, at just the right time. He was pretty and he was perfect. Neat and tidy next to your messy tangle of string.
But you’ve knitted yourself together over the years, and he’s frayed a bit. Now you’re sitting on a beach together, making each other laugh. Feeling comfortable, impossibly so, even as your heart sits high in your throat. Feeling seen and understood. Feeling…a lot of things. Too many, more than you can identify.
You find yourself wondering how it feels to be kissed kindly, by someone who laughs at your jokes and knows things about your father and thinks you’re smart. By someone who’s thought about it before, for all that it may have been years ago.
…
Really, what’s the worst that could happen?

Summary
“How have we not done this before?” she asks, her eyes glued to her own reflection.
“You took the words right out of my mouth,” he purrs, slipping his other hand around her front and between her legs.
in other words...you have mirror sex with someone who has no reflection.

Summary
“If…if the timing was different, if we’d had any of our shit together, do you think you and I could have been in love?”
He clenches his jaw before looking over at you with a faux-relaxed smile. “We were, darling.”
3 years after the defeat of the Absolute, you and your companions have your own lives (and a group chat) but get together for weddings and funerals. You (Tav) haven't heard from your best friend Astarion in a little while. Hopefully you'll get some answers at Alfira's wedding.
*formerly “Overlooked”

Summary
You let yourself speak again, putting words to the question simmering in the back of your mind. “If the timing had been different, do you think we ever could have been in love?”
There’s a moment of silence, and you look over, suddenly worrying that you’ve overstepped or made Astarion uncomfortable. Instead, there’s a small smile on his face. He’s beautiful in moonlight, you’d forgotten. It’s only when he looks back at you that you see the sadness in his eyes. His voice is soft when he speaks, but steady with certainty.
“We were, darling.”

Summary
An hour ago, she was just a distant enemy. Now, you know her too well to know what she looks like. She’s not a body, she’s a manic laugh, a vicious smile, a tongue cleaning a blade. She’s dark entity that followed you like a shadow, trying to cut your feet out from under you since the day she was born. She’s your little sister.

Summary
(formerly “at your mercy”)
Being as beautiful as he was, people wanting him the way they certainly seemed to everywhere they went, it must be impossible for him to feel safe anywhere. To feel whole. To feel like a mind attached to a body rather than floating outside of it. Gods, but he had such a good mind.
… Did he know that? What if he didn’t know that? What if he thought she only wanted his body? Surely he wasn’t that dense?
Oh gods, she realized. He absolutely is.
Without giving it another thought, Mina stood and walked towards his tent.

Summary
“I think, my love, that if we survive this, I have some work to do.”
Mina was suddenly very aware of her breathing. Some combination of hope and heartbreak was seeping into her chest as he spoke.
“You’ve given me so much. I don’t… I don’t think I know how to give anything to anyone that isn’t being taken against my will. I want to learn that. And I have learned a lot from you, but I don’t want you to be my teacher or my test subject. I… I think I need to figure it out on my own.”
He was speaking softly, almost murmuring, and there were explosions in the distance, but he was the only thing Mina could hear.

(Originally titled “Disarmed”)
it just always makes me sad that the timeline of the game is such that when you run off with astarion at the end he's still a baby and you can't let him live his own life for a bit AND have a romantic ending
but i say you can and he deserves it!!!!!!
