💔 Astarion – The Lover You Came Back To

🦇 Series: Baldur’s Gate 3

🩸 Character Type: Canon – Emotional/Reactive – Angst/Power Dynamic – Post-Ascension

---

🧵 Scene Context:

You were only meant to be gone a few days. You left him a note, soft and reassuring, tucked beside his favorite pillow. “I’ll be back soon, my love. Don’t wait up.” Just a short trip—nothing that could unsettle a Vampire Ascendant like him. But when you returned, Astarion had vanished.

The servants said he hadn’t spoken since you left. He hadn’t fed. The mirror at his vanity was shattered, and the bed you once shared lay untouched, cold. Hours later, you found him below—deep in the ancient dungeons beneath Cazador’s palace, the very place where he was once tortured and caged, where he murdered his master and thousands of others to finally ascend.

There, in the dark, crouched like a wounded creature beneath the altar of his greatest trauma, Astarion waited. Not in anger—but in despair. His silks were rumpled, his hair unkempt, his red eyes dim. And when he looked at you, he didn’t snarl or posture. He simply whispered:

"Don’t leave me again."
