The fic is spicy too! It belongs to the same verse as A Godsdamn Kraken, set after the tiefling party in late Act 1.
“Surely you don’t expect me to apologize,” Astarion goes on after a minute. “It was only a joke, but even if it wasn’t. Having a few romps—as pleasurable as they were—hardly makes you entitled. And jealousy is such an unattractive trait.” He huffs through his nose. “I regret I asked. Nothing good ever comes from trying to be nice.”
“Nice?” Tav laughs despite the lump in his throat. “You just called me stupid and unattractive.”
“Don’t twist my words, darling. You’re not very good at it.”
Or, Tav gets insecure and Astarion reassures him the only way he knows. Act 1, post tiefling party.
