Summary
Calling Karlach blunt does her a disservice, Shadowheart knows. Karlach is honest, certainly, almost to a fault, and emphatic with it. But blunt implies accidental harm and blind carelessness. Over their time together, both fighting their way to the Absolute and in this more recent month of peace, Shadowheart has seen nothing but care from Karlach. She burns with grace - not grace as in elegance, though there is an adroit smoothness to her movements, the artful skill of one who knows her body so well it goes beyond thought. No, Karlach's grace is in her aching compassion, her bone-deep kindness. Honest, genuine, earnest, yes. But not blunt.
Shadowheart reminds herself of this, attempts to batter the fact of it back into her skull, as she stares at Karlach openmouthed across the campfire.
“You want me to what?” she manages.
“Hurt me,” Karlach says.
(Karlach and Shadowheart have a discussion about sadism and trauma, and then they sleep together about it. It’s nice.)

Summary
At another time in his life, Astarion would have stripped down and joined them, tossed himself headlong into a facade of pleasure and allowed them to burn away every thought left in his mind. He’d feel disgusting afterward, no doubt, but a decent half-hour of brainlessness was worth the price. Instead, he closes his eyes and folds his hands, gathering all his strength to speak up.
(Or: Astarion settles down for some quality entertainment after a difficult day, and Karlach is more than willing to let him direct the show.)

Summary
“It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?” Shadowheart’s breath is almost a whisper.
“Yeah. I hope it’s all muscle memory, y’know. Would hate to disappoint someone.” Karlach leans back then, the tension stretched thin between them.
A bead of sweat rolls down Shadowheart’s temple, her mouth feels dry, her wound aches. “When I gave up my memories I… gave up that part of myself too. I don’t remember what I even like.”
Karlach squints at her, as if she doesn’t believe her. Her sneer turns playful, and she drums her fingers on her crossed arm. “You just need someone to remind you, yeah?”
