Astarion has had more kisses—of varying quality—than he can remember. In part because the vast majority of them weren't worth remembering. Kissing Gale, though, is electric. The press of a warm, soft body against his own, accompanied by the smooth slide of their lips, feels better than Astarion expected, spurred by a thrumming undercurrent of anticipation. When Gale swipes his tongue along the seam of Astarion's lips, Astarion opens easily to welcome him. Drinks down the quiet, pleased noises Gale makes into his open mouth. Astarion has never thought of kissing as more than a prelude to the main event. Clearly, he's been kissing the wrong people. Gale's kisses are all-encompassing. Somehow his hands are everywhere at once, radiating heat as they caress Astarion's arms and sides and tangle in his curls. For once, he doesn't give a damn that Gale is ruining his hair. Hell, he wants Gale to go further, to make a mess of him entirely.

#TavQOTD Does your Tav/Durge have a sweet tooth? If so, what's their go-to sweet?

Ria doesn't have much of a sweet tooth— she finds a lot of surface sweets far too sugary— but she likes honey in her tea and the sweeter varieties of wine on the rare occasion she drinks
Also fruit. Fruit is good.

#art #bg3 #shadowheart #laezel #karlach
A 3-panel comic strip with Laezel, Shadowheart and Karlach in the colors of the lesbian flag (orange, white, pink). The first panel is pink/white colored and shows all 3 of them laying down snuggled up together - Shadowheart is in the middle while Laezel and Karlach are laying aside, holding onto her. The second panel is orange colored with soft purple shadows, this time its a little more intimate. Laezel and Karlach are both making out with Shadowheart while they touch and slowly take off her clothes. The last panel uses a warm pink as the main color and is the most explicit out of them all, as theyre now having a threesome together. laezel is sitting down with Shadowheart kneeling on all fours between her legs, eating her out. Meanwhile, Shadowheart herself is getting plowed by Karlach from the back with her strap.

digital art: Astele Keene kneels on a chair, her pants and underwear shoved down around her thighs, Jaheira, wearing a strap on, is pressed flush against Astele from behind, with one leg hiked up on the chair. Her arms are wrapped around Astele, one tangled in her hair and craddling her face with the other resting on her chest. Astele's head is turned to look over her shoulder at Jaheira, and she has one hand braced on the back of the chair, while the other hand reaches back to grab the strap around Jaheira's hip.
