I have no clue where I was going with this one, initially just wanted to have one or two illustrations/panels then decided to make it a little scene [shrugs]

I've seen a lot of post-quest aftercare bath stuff for Astarion but I gotta say this is my favorite so far; feels very comforting without being babying, the two of them on much more equal ground of care than protector/protected if that makes sense

Jo

This is everything. Thank you so much 💙

Bumbly

Bathtime Astarion is something I knew I needed and you were so kind as to provide us with this blessing 🙌 🙏 ✨️

Oof. Bawling. The first and last pages are everything to me. Just finished the pale elf, and i felt so incredibly sad/angry the way cazador spoke of him. Astarion deserves all the love and care. Thank you for this ✨

Cussundria Kneal

I can't get over how you draw tender yet intimate moments like this. I just wanna squish theeemmm, this is so delightful, completely distracted from work now! 🥰😭

mataglap

Ana M

Ooof this is so good! Tender and heavy and sweet! The tone and feeling of it all is so! good!!

AceTheLizardKing

The way you draw expressions is so enviable fr fr. You're amazing and I'm so glad you choose to bless all of us with sad gays as frequently as you do

mataglap

I'm fascinated by the way you draw... everything, really, but eyes in particular. both Astarion's and Staeve's. and that frame where Astarion mostly submerges -- something about it makes me stop and stare every time. (because yes, I reread this five times already)

Roro Chi

This melts my heart :”)

Willow

I’ve been rereading this all day long and I just can’t get over it. It’s so sweet and tender and that little hint of Staeve’s butt is changing my life

Lion

I really appreciate the subtleties you always convey in your character expressions. Staeve's concern and quiet adoration--appreciation for the delicate creature before him--and the internal resolution you can almost see him making to himself to be anything Astarion needs him to be. Then there's Astarion's expression, his frustration with how exposed and needy he feels like he's being, and how surprised he is to receive such patience and genuine care--at being told he deserves that care. 10 outta 10 my good man thank you for sharing with us 💜

PocketVampire🩸

This healed me. Astarion deserves all the gentle love ❤️

Asidian

This is gorgeous and so heartfelt. You have a gift for expressions and body language.

🥺🥺🥺🥹🥹😭😭

The emotional juxtaposition of the bottom pannels on 6 and 8 is so gorgeous. Completely in the self loathing/in the sadness to surprised, vulnerable abd carefully hopeful.

Alastar

God this is beautiful 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Imladris8

This whole thing is so.. Ugh... Beautiful and intimate. I especially like the frames where Staeve combs through his hair and touches his ears 😍

Christina

I wanted to have a sophisticated reaction to this but I mostly went Ahhhhh!

Phantom atropos

I keep coming back to this, it's just soooo good 😭 My poor heart can't take it

Danika Scevers

I'm going to scream this is so soft and sweet and painful and you are completely ruining me for other Astarion ships now, you know? and I'm thanking you for it <3

Namig42

Definitely going towards body worship in the most tender and intimate way

Cofie

Poor Astarion. He was told so many times how worthless he is, he probably finds it hard sometimes to actually believe he is enough and very loveable. Thankfuly Staeve is there to show him. (Also Staeve is so fuckin' pretty. I love his profile.) Also also love your colors.

Adaptive Chaos

Hooooly fucking shit, catching on the patreon backlog I accumulated pre- and during winter break and FUUUUCK ok ok everything is fine. "Every inch just like you deserve" is CRAZYYYY

aucassin

i'm DEVASTED that it ends where it does. you're a such a tease 😩

Abby Knight

i’ve been scrolling through catching up since i’m new here but OH MY GOD this is one i keep coming back to because it’s so soft and emotional and some of those frames of Astarion’s face just has me melted into a lil puddle of feels 🥹 this might officially be my favorite comic 🤍

Luna_maria

ohhh I love the idea of him being comforted after Cazador this is amazing

steelsp

This is so soft ong what if i die

Jamesbam

This feels like it may be after killing Cazador. I love how soft Staeve is with Astarion❤️

Tanith

I just love this type of intimacy, whatever this is. I've had a similar scene in my head for a while now.... You see the vision.

bekilybi

*fans self* I love the panels where he first gets in the water and they're just LOOKING at each other. So hot and tender

Vesuvius

Sometimes we draw things in order to examine a feeling in more detail, or to re-experience a moment. Like that breathless nano-second, where the whole world and life itself stops just before you touch lips with someone your heart has yearned and ached for. Where everything you are, and everything you pretend to be just slows to a complete stop, and all there is left, in all of sensation, is the feel of a soft breath across your lips from the person you love most, just before you touch... When you do, two worlds suddenly merge in a swirling rush, and your heart can barely hold all that you become together. The connection that heals, and strengthens, forgives, and fortifies while you let go and open yourself to another; give of yourself to another. Your art makes me think. It inspires me, and captured in your panels I see some of those moments of connection; some as kisses, some as a look, a moment of realization, a smile of acceptance. This comic especially has remained on my mind for some time. Astarion is broken. He is what Cazador made by destroying and punishing any self worth he ever had, and every once in awhile, he is brought up short on just how futile and empty he feels, and how pointless his efforts seem. He sits in stunned silence, unable to see any worth he has been to anyone, and even unable to care very much at all. When Staeve comes in, he knows that Astarion is in need of help but unwilling to call out for it. Left alone, he'd sit, staring at the water for many more hours. Staeve then throws him a lifeline, Astarion admits that he may, in fact, be far less worth the trouble than his friends think; a sign that, after the death of Cazador, he doesn't know what to do with himself. There's no one to punish him, nor give him orders, or to expect anything from him. He needs to know that change is good, and that his way forward is to leave much of himself behind.

Sweeeeeet ❤
