My Dark urge Apollo who romance Astarion (he had a short fling with Lae'zel)
This man is pulling the same shit Astarion does, he tries with Lae'zel, but it doesn't feel right and she isn't easy to get what he wants out of.
Apollo desires love and passion, someone who doesn't see him as a monster or just a pleasure full night. (not that Lae'zel couldn't have been the one. Apollo value her more as a friend)
I have established Apollo's true desire, so this night for him isn't super different to how Astarion might feel.
They both sleep with each other to gain an ally. Someone they don't think could betray them. Yet I think they both might see that the other wasn't truely there (in different ways)
Apollo is sweet and charming but his dark urges and memory issues clouds his judgements.
This is a love story between to broken people learning to love themselves as they heal together and face their own torment.
