He will kill and be covered in blood and guts but then turn around and have the most darling puppy dog eyes

How did I JUST realize i forgot his nipples 😭

when Vex wakes from his nightmares he longs to be held, to feel secure. However Astarion needs space when he wakes from his nightmares. They both need comfort and support and that feeling of safety from their loved one but they need it in different ways… ways that contradict one another

The two have been incredibly lucky thus far to have not had nightmares on the same night. But of course it was bound to happen eventually.

But when one has said nightmares they at least always wake up to their loving partner. Being able to receive the comfort they need when waking up from any night terrors.

With all the shit the two have been through in their lives it is no shock that they are prone to nightmares. Dreaming of being back in horrible situations, reliving the trauma. Leading to waking up in a cold sweat, sometimes there is tears, sometimes yelling, and other times just shut down.

Aww this is so cute

ALSO
power bottom Astarion and service top Vex!
And when Vex bottoms? Well he’s just a precious princess who loves to be pampered and bossed around

I think Vex prefers to give up control and be guided most days, just wants to please. And Astarion likes to hold the authority and make decisions
