Summary
After they screw, Astarion calls her every honeyed lie under the sun, the sort of thing that makes people's cheeks flush and their knickers drop; Lora just laughs, as if every one is a joke. Yes, he calls everyone darling, to annoy and amuse, but she treats these just the same. Gods, it's frustrating. She fell for it enough to fuck him, didn't she? Where are the pining looks, or at least the promises of keeping him safe as long as he continues bedwarming?
"She called him 'muffin' while he was taking his teeth out of a highwayman," he finds Shadowheart saying, one night. "There's something wrong with them both."
A story about enemies to sex partners to reluctant friends who are also careening into mutual pining. In that order. In which Lora assumes they're friends with benefits, and Astarion wonders how she can be so oblivious when he's trying to use her, damn it.

Summary
Lora wakes to birds singing, Scratch's faint barks, and… someone holding her close. She registers ruffled linen and pale skin, oddly cool but warmed by her own; the faint scent of blood and pomade; an arm around her waist, almost protectively.
Oh.
"Well hello," she says, rather than You stayed.

Summary
"Is that a human Chantry thing? Why do they care so much if you…?" She makes a tiny little hip-thrust movement.
He blinks and tries not to stare at that, and his ears have gone pink. Hard to see if you're squinting up at him through the sunlight, but definitely there. "Well, they're meant to be pledged to the Maker. Almost a kind of marriage. It stops you getting distracted by… baser matters." He raises a brow, voice turning wry. "So they say. But I've heard bored brothers."
"So they're only meant to screw the Maker?"
On Orzammar's caste system, Rica, and trying to talk to your raised-in-a-monastery fellow Warden about cultural sex norms without him panicking.
