Considering #Raestarion will be living a rather adventurous life, there will be many BBEG along the way.
Two personal villains, however, already await them after the game's canon.
It starts a few months after the brain falls, with Astarion returning to his home city Athkatla. (1/3)

Limiting this to four shots only is harder than choosing my dinner... devastating.
Anyway, I love putting Rae into situations.

#Raestarion are for once not up for shenanigans, but instead find a quiet spot in the city they're visiting to enjoy each other's company.
While it's nice that it's getting warmer, it means that Rae picks up jobs and contracts again, making days stressful. Some respite is welcome.

Being apart isn't uncommon for #Raestarion; Rae often travels for work or for his personal endeavours, and Astarion doesn't always want to come along. Astarion also visits his family in Amn alone at times, with Rae joining later or not at all due to a multitude of reasons. (1/3)

When not travelling, #Raestarion live in Rae's Upper City house.
Located next to one of the many swish parks and near the Wide, it's by no means a mansion. But the four floors with their many rooms, the little garden in front, and two balconies is most certainly nothing to frown at.

My most common association with Rae and Astarion are sun and moon. From their hair colours to their characteristics and traits, it's a comparison I really love and will often mention (shocking, I know).
As for food, red wine and steak sounds perfect for #Raestarion.

Canonically, #Raestarion are in an open-relationship, at least sexually. Romantically, they don't intend on inviting anyone else in.
In a (divergent) AU, however, Rae finds a former lover of his whom he thought dead during the main adventure—Darius. (1/4)

For #Raestarion aftercare depends on what they did.
Rae is rather spontaneous, so (semi-)public escapades aren't unusual. These don't leave a lot of time for aftercare except for a quick grin and a tug of each other's pants after the deed is done. (1/5)

#Raestarion both know about the Day of Love; Astarion has read about it, and Rae visited the city it originated in. Their opinions on it differ though.
Rae is rather averse to it since he's of the opinion that he doesn't need a special day to declare his love. (1/4)

Rae has had many orgasms with Astarion that have left him a blubbering mess, but two are on the top of this list (because I've written about them).
One happened due to a curse. Rae was turned into a woman, but after a day full of fights he didn't (1/4)

For #Raestarion, the time between Myrkul's defeat and reaching Baldur's Gate is when they both realize they're not just in love, but feel love for one another. Deep and profound, in spite of the mere two or three months they've been on this odd adventure together. (1/4)

Kink isn't something that #Raestarion actively explored until six months post-game. They discussed it a lot beforehand, but engaging in it took Astarion time, comfort, and confidence.
It started with more simple things: leather outfits, hair pulling, or marking. (1/5)

#Raestarion share a couple of hobbies. Most prevalent of them all is reading. There are many evenings in which they laze on the couch or out on the veranda together and read in silence.
They don't always read the same genre as they have different tastes, but when they (1/5)

The thing that always gets #Raestarion off, both of them, is love-making. Sex with slow kisses, lots of tender words, and the softest of laughs. They are ferocious men at heart, but that might be what makes sharing such care and gentleness so incomparable. (1/6)

For #Raestarion, dates often mean exploring a new city together. Rae shows Astarion landmarks or his favourite spots in those cities—they stroll about, taking their time. They have plenty of it, after all.
In cities they frequent a lot, like the Gate or Amn, they (1/5)

#Raestarion are both versatile switches, though Rae leans more towards sub bottom and Astarion towards dom top.
Undoubtedly, Astarion is the more dominant of the two. Being in control helps with his at times still difficult relationship towards sex.
That said, (1/4)

Rae fell first, though Astarion fell harder.
Due to reasons, Rae recognised and confessed that he feels more than mere attraction towards Astarion rather quickly for his standards.
Astarion, however, did not quite understand his own feelings yet. (1/2)

#Raestarion had their first time a tenday after they first met on the nautiloid beach, approximately 17 days before the tiefling party when they have their second time.
Astarion initiated it, spinning all kinds of increasingly questionable reasons as to why. (1/7)
