Pairing: Astarion/Tav (she/her) Wordcount: 68,662 (completed) AU: modern with magic Rating: explicit

Summary:

Tav had had a perfect plan. Graduate Baldur’s Gate University and become a successful journalist, so she’d never have to go back home. Sadly, to stay in university, one generally has to pass their classes. Which is how Tav and her perfect plan got kicked out. Desperate to stay in Baldur’s Gate, far away from her parents, she gets a job at The Palace, courtesy of her friend Wyll, who’s hoping to dig up some dirt on the club’s owner: Lord Cazador Szarr.

It turns Lord Szarr is hiding much more than a couple of strange disappearances in the bowels of The Palace, and Tav finds herself quickly getting pulled into a world of dark secrets, devilish pacts, and a whole lot of blood. On her search for the truth, she finds a reluctant ally: a wickedly charming, yet annoying vampire spawn called Astarion. As they stumble closer and closer to the truth, Tav starts to wonder what she’s truly in this game for anymore. Does she want to find the truth? Or does she just want to save Astarion?

In which Tav tells the end of a story, but there will always be more adventures to be had.

Thank you for the taaaaag @larvasmoon

Rules: include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the "other" label can be used for "sexuality misalignment" (ie: oc is femme and you're gay, vice versa or you aren't into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc).

Tav'ará Naldarai

I have not commissioned art for her (yet). She's not very tall, although she's in heels a lot so you might not notice. Her hair is kind of a strange strawberry blond colour that looks a little pinkish in direct sunlight. She has freckles and green eyes. The clothes she wears outside of work are simple; jeans, chunky knit sweaters and worn out jackets, faded graphics t-shirts. Most of it probably second hand.

Facts :

Height : 1.65 (5'4)

Age : 29

Race : Elf. Of some kind. Shh it's a secret.

Gender : Female (she/her)

Class : well. this particular modern AU has no classes so none. but if I were to drag her back to the original setting maybe sorcerer.

Sexuality : Bisexual

Pros :

Badass investigative journalist

Will make you really cool cocktails

Will find out and expose the dirty laundry of anyone who might have wronged you

Can walk in heels for like 12 hours straight

Might make flowers start to bloom in her vacinity? Maybe? Is very cute. Don't tell her though it makes her a bit nervous.

Cons :

Not in fact officially a badass journalist. Kind of a freelancer. Maybe partially illagally.

Stubborn as all hell

Can be a little reckless, whether that in a "act first, think later" or a "I've thought about it and I'm gonna do it anyway" kinda way

Her parents are terrible but you could try to avoid meeting them I suppose

Fidgets a lot when nervous

Thanks for the tag @davenswitcher <3
