my girl’s (gale playthrough) in the next room, sometimes i wish it was you (astarion playthrough)

yeah so basically it’s a cheating spouse au, you and astarion are having an affair. he is the househusband of cazador and it is toxic and abusive. you’re a coworker of cazador’s. that’s your only backstory, so you can be married or in a relationship and cheating as well, or whatever.

you are encouraged to follow a plot line of helping astarion get out and continuing your relationship or breaking up but either way, letting him heal. or you can ignore that and do your own thing. idc I’m not the government, just be nice to him.

there is no magic or vampires in this sorry. 😣
