Summary
"All of this is mine now. This dreadful palace I’ve remade. The power he so desperately wanted. The respect and gratitude of the entire city. And do you know what my greatest victory is? What I have that he never had?" Astarion’s thumb smoothed along Tav’s cheekbone in admiration.
"You," he breathed. "I have someone who trusts me completely. Who loves me more than anything. I hope that whatever hell he’s rotting in, he sees what I have. How much more I am than what he tried to make me. I have everything I’ve ever wanted."After Baldur’s Gate is saved, all of Tav’s dreams have come true. Life as a Vampire Lord’s beloved pet is sweet, especially for a bard who only ever wanted to dedicate himself to music and love. And Astarion does love him—doesn’t he?
Astarion is the most powerful vampire who ever lived, poised to rule the city from the shadows with a beautiful, obedient consort by his side who is happy to fulfill his every wish.
Until an old threat reappears, and Tav finds himself a pawn in a larger game. Astarion would never allow anyone to steal his most precious treasure—but when it boils down to a choice between power and saving Tav, could a Vampire Lord truly relinquish power?

Summary
You managed to convince Astarion not to go through with the Rite of Profane Ascension. He remains a vampire spawn, and you now offer your blood from time to time to help with his sanguine hunger until a solution is found.
Even though you had both decided to stay as friends back at Moonrise Towers, lines begin to blur once more as other cravings come to the surface… and things with Astarion are seldom uncomplicated.
_____________
Impatience gripped your nerves ferociously. "These things take time, Astarion."
"Oh, my darling… I have all the time in the world, but you only have a limited supply of blood," he whispered softly and you could almost taste his taunting words.

Summary
Bran had made it clear to Leah – politely but firmly, a small twist to his mouth – that he would never love her and therefore he would never make love to her. Leah, because she had been raised plain-speaking, had not understood the nuance and she had dismissed it as some kind of romantic nonsense. Flowery talk.
This was her first lesson. Nuance, with Bran, was important.
