Chapter 7 - Blood, Bhaal and Bad Decisions.

Malis' day goes from bad to worse.

They find out the grove's healer, Nettie, can't solve their tadpole problem. Lae'zel is furious as another day detouring from her creche quest is wasted chasing fruitless leads. Malis does manage to resist her urge's gleeful excitement and spares a tiefling child from the druid's interim leader, Kagha, but that doesn't help the dour mood at camp that evening.

Astarion is notably absent from dinner, but turns up later in the night when Malis is on an unnecessary watch, feigning its need as an excuse to not attempt sleep she knows won't find her.

Flirty words are exchanged and Malis can't help but hope the pale elf might act on some of his sultry promises. But a split lip sends him fleeing back into the night. Strange... He doesn't return before Malis shirks her unnecessary duties and falls asleep.

Astarion, fleeing from the sultry draw of the beautiful tiefling and the call of her spicy blood on her lip, descends into a crazed spiral of fear, despair, then determination. He is free now. Cazador cannot harm him. He'll prove it.

Returning to camp, he finds Malis sleeping, serenely beautiful in her slumber. The pulse point at her neck beats enticingly close to her skin. If he could only have a taste...

He can't stop himself. He leans in. Malis' eyes snap open.

Malis reacts immediately, flipping her assailant on their back, magic balled in her hand to eviscerate their face. But, she pauses. Astarion? Her mind, still addled with sleep is momentarily confused. Then, it all snaps into place. Astarion is a vampire.

She's not scared or angry, but rather... curious. And after not much convincing on the beautiful vampire's part, Malis offers her neck willingly.

As Astarion feeds, things quickly descend into lewd territory. Both Malis and Astarion are lost to a whirlwind of lust, a week of tension finally snapping as they grind and moan against each other.

It’s inspired by (the second half of) Chapter 26 of my Durgestarion fic, Blood, Bhaal & Bad Decisions: https://archiveofourown.org/works/60864589/chapters/158900062#workskin

Astarion (begrudgingly) saves Gale’s life at the Sussur Tree & Malis realises she’s in love with him 🥰

It’s a realisation full of fluff and romance, while still maintaining their snarky dynamic, and I think Cassi’s photos show this so well. She also included an absolutely beautiful image of Malis under the Sussur tree’s glow. She looks fierce & beautiful, but also mightily pissed off the tree took her magic 😤😆

I’d really recommend Cassi if you’re wanting to commission your oc 💜 here’s her kofi link: https://ko-fi.com/crimzonrite/commissions

Chapter 5 - Blood, Bhaal and Bad Decisions.

Malis wakes to find a bare-chested Astarion sunning himself. She thinks that maybe he is the most beautiful creature she's ever seen...

When the rest of camp is awake, Malis and Shadowheart take a quick dip in the river to freshen up where Malis broaches the Cleric of Shar elephant in the room. With her own violent tendencies already rearing their ugly heads, Malis doesn't judge Shadowheart for her beliefs.

Astarion thinks the girls look rather pretty with their hair down and damp, but he doesn't embarrass himself like Gale by commenting on something to ridiculous. The gang enter the old temple ruins to look for loot, but all they find are traps and a rather alive, desiccated skeleton that calls itself Withers. The trip was not entirely wasted, however, as Astarion does some rather delightful flirting with Malis.

Somehow, Malis survives the Nautiloid crash. She wakes up aching on an unfamiliar beach, her surroundings littered with chunks of exploded ship and dead illithid flesh.

She finds Shadowheart stuck under a chunk of flesh and uses her magic to... obliterate the chunk, freeing the half-elf cleric. With Shadowheart's thanks, they continue along the beach together. Malis reacquaints herself with, erm, herself, and her shaky, chaotic magic. To her surprise and enjoyment, Shadowheart joins in and they have fun casting together.

Further up the beach they hear shouting and discover, quite frankly, the most beautiful man Malis thinks she's ever seen. He immediately sets upon attacking her and is openly intrigued by the urge that decorates her savage face at the threat of violence. But he's infected, just like Malis, so she allows the pale, beautiful elf to join her growing party.
