A 3D render by BrabblesBan of my ship Astarion/Adelaide.
Both in bed, Astarion spoons Adelaide from behind, resting a hand on her lower belly. She is resting her hand over his, looking at him with a soft, sleepy expression. Astarion is looking down towards where their hands meet, a pensive expression on his face.
They are both in the nude in bed, with a red silk sheet covering them from the hips down.
Image of text—a short fic written by @whirlingroses for @vakariansyndrome based on Astarion and Adelaide pairing (my OC/Astarion ship, in a modern AU).
Section BrabblesBan used to make the corresponding render:
When he returned, Adelaide was already in bed. Astarion was quick to follow, heading up the stairs, stripping off his day clothes and climbing into bed behind her. He could smell her favourite shampoo as it lingered, her hair spread out on the pillow as she lay there. Gently, he put his arms around her and rested his hand on her stomach. She wasn’t showing yet but one day soon, he’d feel life growing there. Terrifying and wonderful.
He smiled as he felt her hand move to rest against his, and he snuggled against her. “I’m sorry. It was stupid of me to react like a damn fool. Scared as I am, well, I want to be a good father. And there is no one else I’d rather do it with.”
Adelaide squeezed his hand. “I know. It was unexpected but… we can do this. I’ll spend every day trying to convince you if that’s what it takes.”
Astarion kissed her cheek and they embraced in silence. There were still a lot of unspoken words and things to explore but right now, this was all they needed. They had each other.
Adelaide has some news for Astarion, and he struggles to accept that it's time to embrace a life where he gains another role. Not for long.
