"spring Time" final page sketch. Yes, #Shae is hyper-flexible and #Astarion always makes good use of that. #drow #ng3

Shae never celebrated any birthday but he knows, females are of value. He might just sneak a tiny thing to her stuff; a seastar, a seashell and maybe a shiny piece of broken coloured glass - trinkets he has gobbled up along the road. Treasures for him, since he never really possessed anything.

Monday! Another chapter online. #Shae for the first time gets outside #Menzoberranzan, a thing he had been looking forward to, since he was told, such would await him at the academy. #drow #oc #fanfic archiveofourown.org/works/705336...

Summary:

Shae had learned, the Underdark was much more than the cavern housing Menzoberranzan, more than the surrounding mazes, tunnels, grottoes and caves. Much more. A huge network of hundreds such caverns and caves, which made it its dimensions far and wide – higher up and lower deep. But as a result of such a mazing structure, it was not always possible to travel from one end of the great Underdark to the other. He understood it to be some kind of structure, similar to those so-called lands up on the surface – which seemed to be another … region, just … above it all – though they did not learn much about them or specific domains within the Deep. It was not necessary – survival outside Menzoberranzan, especially alone, was nearly impossible. And the surface only was a place to go when on a raid, teaching those threats a lesson or defy an attack before it even could start.

Monday! Another chapter online! #Shae has to find a way to cope with the loss of one, that was a friend, without knowing, what that means. #dnd #menzoberranzan #drow archiveofourown.org/works/705336...

Summary:

They would go out on the Bazaar once a week and out on patrols to the inner perimeters and then to the outskirts once a month next year. Their personal lessons with their specialised masters were getting more, because they were already halfway through their training, only four more at Magthere and in their last, they would spend six months each at Sorcere and Arach Tinilith, then graduate. They needed now to shift more to their individual growth, for the basics were set. Now they would train to outgrow the bonds of class, to become fighters for their houses and also to become guards for their city.

Yet Shae couldn't help: he was missing ... something and he couldn't figure out, what it was.

Long time not posted about THIS fanfic: Starstice. A #thedragonprince fanfic. Chapter 25 now online on AO3 #Aaravos #Kassiopeia #TDP archiveofourown.org/works/686172...

Summary:

Leola fathomed for the first time in her short life, her father was afraid of the stars, though they both were made of them and he nearly was as powerful as an Elder. Afraid of the endless cosmos to devour all he had come to love, for there was no greater gift than being able to love – a thing stars obviously were not born with, because they were… created, yet Alhena and Alzir, Castor and Pollux showed, that concept was not foreign. Love was universal if you only allowed it touching you. And with allowing it you had to accept becoming vulnerable and vulnerability was something very mortal, humane. Maybe that was the problem here: her father afraid of the stars because he had so much love to give and been taken away - and the stars afraid, love might make them mortal, less powerful. Vulnerable.

#Tavquod Famous for his drowstare - #Shae, ready on staring the shit out of people. Plus: he'll stay absolutely silent. Just staring. At you. Unblinking. Unmoving. Body taut like a coil, ready to snap. Glooming eyes when in darkness - garnet seas telling you, you're due. #bg3 #drow

Yes, I might be a "nitpicker" here but: that's why I said I don't have the same experience, when drawing on #wacom Movink11 (left - new pen), as when I draw on my wacom IntuosPro and the old pen (right). I fucking see the difference in the lines, the strokes, the "life in the flow". #csp #pen

Again ... more sketching of ideas while my WIPs are crying to be continued ... as do my fanfics. phew ... well, here's p2 of "Spring time" #Shae in his morning training with two (different) blades

Sketchy page shows Shae in several fighting poses, training with his two different blades (a drowblade and a scimitar). Ending pose is him meditating to finish his routine and he - as always - only wears breeches and bracers, is bare-chested and barefoot.

Another chapter online! What happens, when a young #drow becomes only a passenger in his body because he cannot cope with the loss of a friend? #Shae might be showing, why they call him savage at Magthere #fanfic #oc #dnd #menzoberranzan archiveofourown.org/works/705336...

Summary:

For the first time Shae truly notices, how the silence of a missing voice cab weighed heavily upon one, though Melee Magthere is anything but quiet.
The loss of one he only slowly stars to realise, had been a friend, challenges him in so many ways he cannot cope with.
He is a passenger in whatever this is, that was now left of him.

Jessie_Arts @artsanddesign.net · 20/07/2026

Finally: another chapter online. What do #drow feel, when they lose someone they now realise, have been a friend? They are not supposed to have any such relationships... #fanfic #Shae #menzoberranzan #dnd archiveofourown.org/works/705336...

Summary:

Drow are used to losses - they don't lament or think about them much, is it nearly a daily occasion in an environment as the Underdark and living in the City of Spiders. But when it comes to one, that Shae didn't quite know he considered a friend, things become ... unsettling for him. What is the difference? They all knew, not all would make it to Graduation and even then, as house fighters it is more than clear, most of them will not pass their hundreds.

Why though does it ... feel like that now?

#Shae can't consume milk/cheese in larger amounts - since drow don't raise their children as usual, he isn't used to process lactose. That's why he thinks milk and cheese smells awful - he's got the habit of sniffing at possible food first (could be rank or poisoned)

151

Jessie_Arts @artsanddesign.net · 08/07/2026

Ideas coming up ... Sketches for maybe a another short-comic but in a more "loose style" What if #Astarion feels a "spring-time-hornyness" which proves a bit inconvenient with a #drow like #Shae, who neither knows about seasons nor is he up for "random" intimacy - at least not sponatneous. #bg3

Diverse cuddling scenes between Shae, lying on his belly, and Astarion, who comes snuggling up, up for more than cuddles, since he starts fumbling. Shae snarls him off but leaves open, he might be more ... affectionate after his morning training.

0156

Jessie_Arts @artsanddesign.net · 02/07/2026

"No one's watching... don't be afraid." #Astarion always encouraging #Shae when he's bold enough to have a try in finding out, what he might find pleasurable. Self-exploration was forbidden by his matron and her teachings still have a claw on him. #bg3 #drow

Astarion and Shae sitting in a bathtup, Shae leaning against Astarion, while both their hands are fondling with Shae's very own Underdark. The drow istn't used to please himself, it always was forbidden. But with the vampire at his side, he sometimes gets bold enough to find out, what he likes and what not.

Jessie_Arts @artsanddesign.net · 23/06/2026

Finally: another chapter online. I'm quite busy with other stuff and try to do many things at once which, well, does not always work. But: here's another chapter for you to read about Shae's backstory. #shae #facfic #drow archiveofourown.org/works/705336...

Summary:

Reaching his twenties - the age where he normally would have entered Melee Magthere - Shae has to learn, that with growing onlder, more or his scars, his pattern, will start showing and that there is no longer a way to hide, what he truly is: a Harkkanir, as all know and now can see every day.

"show me what you need..." #Astarion always helping #Shae figuring out, what he likes and needs, willing to give everything he can to show Shae, how wonderful intimacy can be #bg3 #drow #vampire

Astarion licking over Shae's chest, gently massaging Shae's lust, while the drow is lost in swaying on his lover's lap, grabbing into silver locks, eyes closed, trying to just feel and not thinking too much. The years in Menzoberranzan have cost him everything about loving intimacy, the more important the times, he is the active part in their love-making.

Jessie_Arts @artsanddesign.net · 06/05/2026

Nothing better than a good tease ... and a growling #drow. #astarion #Shae #bg3

Astarion presses Shae against the wall of a hallway they are standing in, using the candle-holder as pin-point for the drow's arms high above his head. Shae snarls at the vampire, tip-toing with his back against the wall, while Astarion uses a crop to press it between Shae's legs, applying pressure onto the drow's very private Underdark. Of course Shae's first reaction is absolute denial, yet his bulging crotch speaks another language. Astarion knows very well, how to handle his dark elf.

Jessie_Arts @artsanddesign.net · 20/04/2026

Monday! Next chapter online. #Shae is partrolling the Bazaar for the first time, learning about the inner structures of #Menzoberranzan. He also learns, even such a marvellous place can be repellent, when under lead of a Melarni priestess #oc #drow #fanfic #dnd archiveofourown.org/works/705336...

Summary:

“As for your scimitar,” he paused a bit, as if he was thinking about something. “I have one, that most don’t feel comfortable with, yet I think … it might work for you.”

Of course, Shae was hooked. Something that didn’t work for others sounded as if he should have a try. He followed Ashkelon to a niche, where more weapon racks stood with sharp blades of all kinds, also some trunks and one of those, stacked far into the niche, he now rummaged forward and opened the lid. He … hesitated for a moment, as if … preparing for something, then reached for the bit … exotic looking scimitar.

Jessie_Arts @artsanddesign.net · 16/04/2026

Beware when #Shae understands that game of "carot and stick". #astarion #oc #drow #bg3

Panel one shows Astarion lying in bed while something is shuffling under his blanket. Panel 2 shows Shae peaking out from under the blanket, his hand resting now on Astarion's chest while the vampire already smirks in awaiting intimacy, asking in mockery, if Shae is up for some cuddles. The next panel shows Astarion in surprise because Shae answers his mockery with a determined "no". In the last panel, Shae thow crawles further up, pressing himself hard against Astarion while kissing him, pinning both of Astarion's hands over his head, topping the vampire. It seems, there's more in than just cuddles.

Jessie_Arts @artsanddesign.net · 13/04/2026

Monday! Another chapter online! Passing from Thirdyear to Fourth, #Shae finally makes aquaintance with purses - sort of. The New Years Booze leads him directly into the arms of a female, his maybe only pleasurable memory about such. #oc #fanfic #dnd archiveofourown.org/works/705336...

Summary:

With their third year, the dumb shit also returned when the bunch of ingrates had gained more confidence in their skills, therefore starting to bolster again among each other together with their rising interest now and kind of … ritualised greeting of tits on reliefs while entering that specific training grounds, though not all followed that example. Crumpled parchments with sketchy drawings of tits and similar creative geniuses were soon to be found everywhere in the rooms – and taken away if found, which only spurred on fantasies, it seemed.

Not Monday but: another chapter online :) #Shae is now in his 2nd year at Magthere and his first action is switching blades - much to his masters dismay. At first. #fanfic #dnd #drow #menzoberranzan #oc archiveofourown.org/works/705336...

Summary:

After his first Grand Melee, Shae now truly finds out, what it means to be at Melee Magthere. He now is a Secondyear, new aspirants looking up to him, though he is the youngest. Something so very new to him and of course his own class is anything but lazy in honing their skills: after every year, there's another Grand Melee to sort their ranks within their class. The more prowess they gain, the harder that challenge - other challenges he will now face among other young drow, all males, learning their places in the Menzoberranzan Matriarchy.

Only one thing for him was clear: he needed to change blades to overcome his inadequacies!

Long stockings 4/4 Needless to say, #Astarion always finds a way to share desires. And after some growling and cursing, #Shae has to admit: the vampire's way works formidably for a #drow. #oc #bg3

Summary:

What were the boys up to in their Firstmonth at Melee-Magthere?
Clogged latrines, missing clothes, marked beds ... the range is full of rutting youngster's doing shit and since it's Menzoberranzan, at least some will have to pay a toll.

Three males, two of them masters of Magthere, meet in the Cup and Lizard, reflecting about the happenings in that month on a rare setting: they are friends.
