    Summary

    Rosalind, a classical theatre professor at Baldur's Gate University, finds herself inexplicably drawn to the infuriating arrogance of Dr. Ancunín in the English department. But she can't deny the thrill that goes down her spine every time he peers over his glasses at her, and she absolutely hates the way it makes her feel.

    Every sharp tug in her hair, every possessive grab, every bite in her neck marking her as belonging to him... Why does she find this so hot? She should be horrified by this behavior, shouldn't she?

    Read as Rosalind navigates her ever complicated relationship with Professor Astarion and - even moreso - her complicated relationship to her own desire.

    Summary

    “Did you say you free slaves?”

    Does she know? Is that why she’s told him all this? Has she been trying to treat him this entire time?

    …Worse, did Astarion know this about her?

    He’s been drawn to her from the very moment he laid eyes on her. Relies on the girl, even now. It’s telling of something instinctual in him, like it’s been branded into his very biology. Still subservient, deep down, crawling pathetically to the first whiff of a pitying savior. Begging for a scrap of hope, of reprieve, of fucking redemption.

    Is that all he is? A slave, at his core?

    No, he thinks with a conviction that feels too much like denial. No, because she will be the one to change. Not him.

    Summary

    “Well,” he croons, “The fun doesn’t have to be entirely one-sided. Our time could very well be limited. You help me with my condition…and I could help you with yours.”

    “My condition?” she asks, her eyebrows now arched to maximum height.

    Astarion tilts his head. “Darling, it’s bad enough that we might burst into tentacles any day now. I would hate to see you die a virgin.”

    -

    Neve already had her hands full, what with trying to keep her companions from killing each other and pushing forward in the face of an uncertain fate. Then the vampire had to go and decide she was sweet enough to want to sink his teeth into.

    Another take on how things unfold post-bite.
