Summary
Suddenly, it was just the two of us. Though I was glad to escape the prying eyes, his presence alone was far more intimidating than the entire Second army. I shifted uneasily, hyper-aware of how close he stood. His dark eyes flicked over me as if to make sure the healers had done their job well. Within seconds, he undid the buttons of his kefta and draped it over my naked shoulders. “Show me the base on the map.” He commanded.
...A shadow-summoner from Fjerda escapes her Druskelle captors and seeks refuge with the Second Army. I’m aiming to keep the Darkling’s character true to the book and series – no excess sweetness, but a lot of depth, respect and underneath it all, kindness.
I’m not a fan of damsels in distress, so while the female protagonist has her vulnerabilities, she’s also incredibly resilient and strong. I want the characters to feel authentic, so I’m focusing on making everyone’s actions and decisions true to their personalities.
I wrote this as a self-indulgence, as I couln't find the perfect fanfic, but it’s your comments that inspire me to keep going, so please, share your thoughts—I’d love to hear them!
Also, English isn’t my first language, so I appreciate your understanding.

For Astarion, this is an opportunity for freedom. He'll do whatever it takes to keep it, even if that means manipulating, charming, or breaking the heart of a naïve young warlock who seems determined to save everyone but herself.

Summary
In the beginning...Phaera Duskryn was a slightly unhinged paladin drow out on the surface for the first time. Astarion smelled blood, figuratively and literally. Much to both of their surprise, a little fling became a thing became...well, Phaera's a vampire now. And although she is an absolute and ambitious menace in the streets, she's a good little girl between the sheets.
Just remember: vampires are chaotic evil. Astarion, and Phaera, are NOT GOOD PEOPLE. And we love them for that.
Each chapter is like a vignette from their life together. Bite-sized, as one might say. See the smut chapter breakdown below for those of you who just want to jump to the smut (major things tagged with chapter).
New chapters when I get a moment to myself (grad school is kicking my butt).

“What a wicked little spider you are,” he murmured against her mouth as she pressed it on his.
“What a dangerous compliment.”
“I am dangerous, aren’t I?”
More nuzzling of her nose against his. “What have I done to earn such a beautiful blasphemy?”
