I had a shower thought, basically, does Baulders Gate have guns?!? Turns out not really??? Here's Astarion living under a rock bc... ✨Cazador✨ and learning what guns are.
You sit quietly under the dim firelight at camp, polishing your firearm. The metal shines and you grin feeling accomplished.
Your train of thought is interrupted by the sound of a particular vampire sitting down next to you.
"Whats that you have darling?" a familiar voice questions.
"uh, my gun? I was cleaning off all the residue" you respond holding it up for him to see.
"I- yes of course your gun needs to be cleaned because you need to do that for the thing for when you..." he trails, trying to mask the fact he is clueless. It doesn't work in the slightest as you pick up very quickly that hes never seen a gun.
"it's kind of like a really fancy compact uh crossbow? that's the closest thing I can think of... It's a weapon Star. It's filled with these metal pellets and then- hold on." you ramble as you realize it's probably best you show him.
You stand, the warmth of the fire leaving you making you shudder slightly. You motion for him to follow as you search around the camp area for a clear shot that wouldn't cause any damage. You point at a nearby tree and make sure he is stood behind you.
"you just push on this trigger part and-" The loud resounding shot echoes through the camp. Astarion quickly covers his ears startled slightly.
"Good god well it's not a very stealthy weapon that's for sure." he shouts glaring slightly. "it didn't even do anything but hurt my ears I don't see anything." he pouts.
You smile and motion him to follow as you skip over to the tree.
"oh my." you hear Astarion mumble as you point at the hole that's been splintered into the tree, the metal bullet glinting wedged inside. He kind of looked like a child, with wonder in his eyes as he looked back at the gun in your hand, now knowing how powerful it was.
"Now picture it as a person or an animal. Much more squishy, easier to go through" you tell him. He smirks.
"you're just full of tricks aren't you darling, I can't believe I've never seen this one, or should I be glad you've never used such a thing against me." he raises a brow and you just chuckle.
"well if you like this trick so much maybe I'll teach you how to use it one day." you smile.
"Now that does sound entertaining..."
Word Travels: Sirens Drown Pt2
Pt two to my celeb reader fic bc I love it so much this is for no one but me at this point 💀 I am entertaining myself
When in hell you need to know three things.
Its still a world of filthy capitalists so not much has changed from the world you knew.
Your form is based off of who you were when you were alive.
and word travels when someone famous becomes a sinner.
Not even a day in hell you realize people know who you are. You had fans down here, and also now enemies. How stupid of you to think this was an escape from him.
Escape? Endings? No This Is The Begining Darling
He landed here too and of course hes running his mouth. This place is like up above except for the fact that you wont let him control you ever again. You wont let him get to you. You had stopped running at some point you dont know when.
Running towards a more central lighted part of town. You're well aware this is hell but even so maybe there is some place deemed “less dangerous” Something about the high tech tv screens and drones circling the area made the area seem on the lesser side of evils…
You're gonna regret thinking that later...
They had social media in hell of course how stupid of you to think they wouldn't? Although this whole afterlife has you confused. Theres a man on most of the tv screens three people. Its a promotion for a fashion collection? Maybe thats where you’ll go whoever these people are are the media influence. You've swam with enough sharks… no pun intended… to know where to make connections. Surely maybe they could give you refuge from him.
For something in return…

Little Sailors Have No Chance
Vox x Celeb/Singer Reader <3 Pt 4. pt 3 ... pt 5
In the span of 12 hours you had committed murder suicide with your abusive spouse, landed in hell where you were now a pretty fish demon, walked up to the biggest most important people in hells entertainment industry and landed a job on the spot...
Its only going to get crazier.
The TV head man had vanished into thin air after looking you up and down again to go deal with whoever "tore up velvets best model" that you were now replacing.
She had wasted no time using some sort of demon magic to change your clothes a dozen times and have some other demons do you're makeup. "well love you have been making quite a splash no pun intended and Im starting to see what the buzz is for. Stunning and you killed your husband? Truely a siren the name is brilliant luring poor sailor men to their death that blindly follow your charm, maybe that's what your fans should be called well, we'll talk all about a deal after the show." she blabs on as she adorns you with accessories and motions for you to spin, stand etc.
"Ok darlings" she calls out to the room. "its showtime!"
You will admit you've never walked a runway but you were going to do everything in your power to not make a fool of yourself. The lights and cameras and audience at least you were accustomed to. When you walked you saw that same man from earlier in the front row, with the TV head. When you stopped to pose at the front you saw him whisper something to another man next to him with sunglasses and a red-looking coat. You saw him smirk before you walked back behind the curtain. In the time the interns got you ready you had learned that the Vs on the building stood for the three owners of the cooperation. Velvet, Valentino, and Vox. You assumed the two men up front were Valentino and Vox since you remember seeing an ad or two with their faces on your walk toward the building.
After the show had concluded Velvet had pulled you aside.
" So little Siren, you've only been here a day and yet you've made quite a splash. Thats good thats-"
"good television" Out of thin air you watch little sparks materialize into the TV head man you saw earlier, Vox. He grins down at you sinisterly cutting Velvet off.
"You haven't made any deals yet doll so I take it you're free, for the taking, I mean why else would you wander up here." he grabs your chin making you look at him, inspecting you.
"Quit it Vox this is my deal, she wouldn't be good in your department anyway." Velvet glares at him.
"Chil Velv I'm here just for the entertainment and also to give our new guest a little present clearly she's lost she needs something familiar to her." Vox pulls a phone with a V logo on the back and hands it to you which you nervously take from him.
"I'm sorry what do you mean deal?" you ask nervously
"See what I mean poor things clueless," he states, you sense a mischievous undertone in his voice that makes you uneasy but ignore it.
"for your soul, duh kinda how hell works, you give me your soul you can work here and I'll give you fame and riches and protection for the angels yadda yadda and of course, you'll take it because we're like the best overlords in the pentagram" Velvet states.
You pause "Wait my soul? Isn't that movie shit you not serious right like so funny and also what the fuck is an overlord?"
Velvet twitches "You think I'm a joke princess? you gotta learn how stuff works around here quickly, it's kill or be killed when extermination comes around and if you wanna live best bet is with us and I don't make these offers often." she snarls.
"I'm not giving you my soul. It's kinda... my soul? you know when people say they sold their soul for fame or whatever I didn't sign up to do it literally. And I don't know what this extermination is but uh I'm already in hell I ain't trying to make it worse." you state backing up slightly.
Velvet gets back in your face even angrier as the TV man looks at you in slight shock.
"You're rejecting the Vs. That's priceless you know I would ask if you were born yesterday but technically you were so I'll give you some slack and not kill you but you're making a huge mistake." she grits her teeth
"I'll sign a normal contract. I know this is hell but... I'll sign a contract like the one I had above for my music label which is basically selling my soul." you chuckle at your own awkward joke. "I came here because I knew you guys must be the best in the industry so you're right leaving would be a huge mistake but I'm not offering my soul." you pause. "I won't give anyone any power over me like he had" you mumble under your breath.
Velvet scoffs annoyed pausing a moment. "fine one nonbinding soul contract coming up. But this means you may not work with any other companies any releases must be V approved, and you only endorse us, and you get fortune and protection. You're lucky you're famous and pretty." She grits her teeth. Pink magic emerges from her hands as she holds it out.
"Is it a deal?"
The Deal Is A Deal
im living for all the vox and like popstar or celeb reader fics so I have a few head cannons I wanna share.
When the public finds out paparazi eats that shit up like ur telling me one of the VEES is in love now that's good television
speaking of television mans totally brings you onto his show for "interviews" but it's just so he has an excuse to talk to you during his busy schedule
Since we all agree he's is possessive he loves it when you wear his cloths out/post in them bc you're showing everyone your his. Once again the netizens eat that up
Ship name that all your fans came up with if your a singer electropop <3
watches all your shows even if he can't be there in person he hacks the stadium/ theater (whatever venue or sets) cameras
Once again absolute control freak so doesn't trust any of your staff he fired them all and replaced them with his people. Assistant fired, your driver fired and he got you a new car that has voxtech in it (he needs to know where you are so your safe and totally not bc he's a stalker) your bodyguards especially if he thinks any of them get to close for comfort.
If you act and have any love interest on set u best believe (if somehow he even lets you do the film) hes keeping eyes on them 24/7 like a hawk to make sure they ain't even looking at you a second more than they contractually have to.
Helps you get jobs with velvet sometimes bc your gorgeous and deserve to be on the runway but 180 will not let val in a 30 ft radius of you. "Yes val they're a star NOT THAT KIND"
Networking In Hell
Vees and A Celeb Reader✨
Change is uncomfortable and hard, maybe that's why people gravitate to what they know, what's familiar. Maybe that's how you found yourself standing in front of a huge building with a neon sign with three Vs on it. It reminded you of the HQ of your recording label, the thought makes you chuckle slightly.
You had concluded the person you were looking for was named Velvet, she seemed to be some social media/ PR bigshot, like the biggest of bigshots.
You had nothing but hopes and dreams to go off on, for what reason would she give you a meeting? You were betting that for some reason (not to sound conceited or entitled) she would know about you since apparently, everyone knew about you and your spouse's demise. Taking a deep breath and walking through the fancy glass doors you're greeted with another aquatic demon at the front desk.
"Hi, I- I'm trying to get a meeting with Miss Velvet. Um I don't have an appointment or anything but um well I just got here and-"
The demon looks you up and down for a second and then their eyes go wide. "You're the siren! the one all over sinstagram! The one who killed their husband! I- Miss Velvets' schedule is very busy but I- You can- I can try and get you a meeting" You're very taken aback again, you thought that hell would be nothing like up above, and maybe for once you wouldn't be recognized everywhere you went, but as you finding out not much is different from up above.
"Miss Velvet's main office Is on the fourth floor if you want to wait up there I'll find- someone to talk to you, Siren!" The demon clambors reaching for the phone. You nod heading towards the elevator. As the door closes you catch the phone conversation.
"No it's them definitely, the Siren from the news, I mean they don't seem that dangerous, no I mean- I KNOW they're going up now-"
When the elevator opens you take a second to get your bearings, the building is big and you weren't given specific directions.
Luckily or unluckily shouts can be heard from down the hall.
"Well, he's up there waiting for a flat-faced prince to calm him down' a woman's voice angrily shouts.
You walk closer and see a tall man silhouette standing by a door at the end of the hall.
"and what's got him in a sorts this time" a man's voice sighs annoyed.
You walk closer almost directly behind the man in the doorway who you now see has a TV for a head, the more the day goes on the more unfazed you are by people's appearances.
"I don't know but he tore up my best model and you know the show can't wait for that-" she cuts herself off looking past the man spotting you in the door. " I don't have time for your crap intern unless you're here to fix my show for me figure out the issue yourself!" she yells.
"No, actually I'm not an intern I-" you stumble but she cuts you off even more angrily. both of them are now staring you down.
"Well then I double don't care who you are get out of my studio! What are you one of Val's bitches? I really have had enough of-" she cuts herself off again, looking you up and down more carefully.
"You're that Siren bitch. From Sinstagram the popstar who drowned their husband" she pauses looking at your phone and back up at you. You assume she pulled up some news from earlier today when you died.
"That's who you were talking about this morning? Hell gave you one ironic form, didn't it. I mean a hot one but ironic nonetheless. You did say drowning right?" the man mumbles to himself looking you up and down. Velvet ignores him.
"Well I take everything back maybe you are fixing my show... Have you ever walked a runway?"
You're In.
Pt 2 . . . pt 4
Hey!!! Love your siren!reader fic! Do you by chance have a description of what you picture the reader to look like? I’d love to draw her!! :D
What I’m picturing in my head is that she kinda resembles how Glitz and Glam look with the colours and deep sea vibe and I’m also wondering if she’d be bioluminescent? 🤔
Ah, I was on a trip out of the country so I just saw this! but the bioluminescent sounds so cool I love it. And yeah I actually have a few rough sketches of what I think she would look like and it is similar to that in a dark mermaid/leviathan kind of vibe. Because they're demons I like to think a kind of horror ugly fish with the teeth if that makes sense lol.
Voxs "Buisness Meeting"
Vox asks the reader to meet him purely to discuss her contract and "business" but we all know that ain't true.
A day after your music video shoot with vox tek and brief encounter with the overlord himself you get a message from your assistant.
-Ma'am Mr. Voxs assistant has informed me your meeting with Vox has been finalized for Thursday 7pm. Ok then thanks Nessi!-
Your heartbeat sped up as you read the text it was nerve racking to say the least. this was the CEO of the company you worked for and one of the most powerful overlords who last time you spoke he casually mentioned he killed the camera guy who made you have to do the reshoot in the first place.
Quite frankly you were scared, scared of the powerful man he was you weren't afraid to admit that. However a thought you were afraid to have was to think about the way he had towered over you, the claustrophobic yet comforting feeling when he walked you onto set. Unlike your horrible ex, you felt safer when you felt the electric buzz radiating from his body. You stop your thoughts and sit up. Preparing yourself mentally for Voxs business meeting.
Vox stood in the penthouse looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows over the Vees empire. He was the most powerful person in hell but why did hesitation flash in his mind when he thought about you. He could control everything and everyone in hell but you. You refused a soul contract you were free, and you couldn't be controlled in fact, he thought you might have some demon power to control others like he did. That didn't frighten him though because he was still an overlord and you were still nothing, right?
The elevator bell dinged and he watched as you walked out. The outfit you had on shared a similar shade of blue to that of his own, he wondered if you did it on purpose. Of course, you couldn't have, right? He needed to get out of his head he was the one with the power.
"Ah siren lovely to see you please sit." He gestures as he walks over to the living area of the penthouse.
You both sit and you staighten your back in anticipation, hands in your lap, as you nervously wait for him to speak.
"Now because your contract with Velvet isn't soul binding I have some things I would like to discuss. " his voice was low, there was no more sickly sweet tone to it only a slight sinister sound.
"I want to make sure you wont betray us, or leave us, I mean why would you want to right? we have given you everything, You can trust us" as he spoke his eye changed, his pupil became a red and black swirl and odd color as you looked at it quizicly.
"I mean of course? So does that mean you have more stuff you want me to sign?" you ask confused. His expression glitches for a second as he clears his throat taken aback for some reason.
Nothing Happened
"close my dear, I want collatoral. Tell me a secret. Or give me something that means much to you." he regains his composure smirking.
"ah so blackmail?" you raise your eyebrow scoffing slightly.
"this is hell my dear" he responds as you ponder for a moment. You then smile sadly after some time leaning forward to whisper something to him. The proximity makes him shiver slightly. As you finish speaking he smiles, a chesire cat grin.
"That will do doll pleasure doing buisness." he clears his throat his usual chipper demenour returning. "now then I don't think I would be a good host if I didn't offer. The chefs are cooking dinner, care to stay?"
He was esstatic that you agreed. he needed to fish out more info on you no matter what especially after that secret you told him. You had him hook line and sinker you didn't even know. He needed everything there was to know about you.
Unfortunatly he got very little. You spend a tense hour long dinner with the most powerful overlord in the pentagram as you hollowly laugh at his banter. He talks of his company, success overall just himself in an attempt to get some reaction out of you until you finally bid your farewell. When the elevator door finally closes both of you take a sigh. Vox sits back down in the penthouse. Why didn't his hypnosis work? The secret you told him, was that really even true? Who were you really? The chill he felt when you had gotten close to him" He rubbed his temples in frustration at the thought.
You breathe a sigh of relief as the elevator desends back to the lobby. That man, he was indeed quite strange. A million questions swim in your head too, questions that can wait for another day. As you slouch back into the car you cant help but feel your being watched. A feeling that you brush off to deal with another day. Its probably nothing right?
You trust everythings ok
Pt 5 pt 7
When The Cameras Are Off (Vox X Siren)
finally guys romantic shit is happening with Vox and Siren/ popstar reader :p
Fancy "business" lunches and outings with the TV overlord became a regular occurrence. You didn't mind it. He argued that it was to keep you under wraps and ensure you didn't speak out of line to the press. Although you argued that's what the collateral was for but who were u to know business.
The expensive food ordered by the billionaire overlord was nice too, he was offering it so it would be rude not to right? That was the only reason you continued to agree to them and totally not because something about him was only charming. Come to think of it, for being in hell and for Vox being the most narcissistic, greedy capitalist man you ever could meet... He looked out for you.
Obliviously it was because you were a money-maker in his company right? You for some reason refused to believe he would do anything for a genuine reason, there had to be some scheme right?
That's what Vox tried to convince himself of too. That he did all this and kept you in his eyesight at all times just to make sure you wouldn't run away because you made him so much money. Because Vox would double-die before he would admit that your pure charm, your unnatural kindness has lured him in. That you did indeed charm him. No, he had too much pride to admit that.
Everyone else could see though. Velvet was pissed because it was her who signed your contract. Her who you reported to yet you spent almost every waking hour next to Vox. And Velvet knew there was only one maybe two other people Vox had ever obsessed over like this...
Alastor
Days passed and Val picked up on it too. He mainly noticed because he was getting less attention obviously. "Carino don't tell me you're in love with our new pet over there." He asked a slight hiss in his voice as his eyes narrowed. Vox glitched slightly. "Don't you dare say that of course not, like you said she's just a pet... That for some reason you guys didn't get to sign a soul contract so someone needs to keep her in line" he growls. Val rolled his eyes exhaling red smoke from his cigarette "Whatever you say" Vox was ready to walk out and as far away from Val as demonly possible when Velvet came storming in. "So much for "handling" her Vox god fucking dammit"
"What do you mean?" He asks. "Look!" She casts her phone screen to all the devices in the room including Voxs face. A feed of posts scrolls through. Sinners willing to give up their souls to the Siren. Sinners praising the siren feeling sorry for her after a story published about apparently she saved two low-class demons from loan sharks in THEIR DISTRICT?!
Demons from all over the Pentagram wanted you to be an overlord, her fans, her little sailors, posting how they would willingly and happy to sign a soul contract with her if it meant being under her protection.
This Was Bad
Voxs screen glitched, red dead pixels appearing on his screen. He had to find you, and now. Perhaps he could use that leverage, not yet though he thought. He couldn't show his full hand yet. He just needed to scare you that's all. He was angry, so angry that sinners trusted you. That they wanted to be on your side and not the vees. Was he jealous? He would never admit it if he was. Was he feeling betrayed, that you could take all that they had built of course not the Vee empire was unbreakable. There was a twinge of doubt though. He zapped through all the cameras looking for you pinpointing the location of your phone and such. You were sitting nice and pretty in the apartment HE gave you. In a blink, he's there materialized in your living room making you jolt in surprise.
"What the FUCK KIND OF STUNT DID YOU PULL THIS MORNING," he said calmly. (l o l sorry had to)
"I- how did you- I im sorry I. I didnt know it was in your district and she just looked so helpless, she reminded me about something that happened to me when I was alive and- i- I don't wanna be an overlord Vox, Sir. I promise you I would never try and overthrow your power-" you start rambling, words rushing out of your mouth to try and save you from the looming overlord.
Sparks of electricity buuzzed around him as you could see him seething with anger. "Velvette is going to try her best to suppress this but if you so much as breathe out of line like this again, you're as good as double dead. Are we clear dollface?" he states, closing in on you. The way he spoke and the proximity triggered something in your subconscious, something that reminded you of Him. So you swallowed, a stray tear moving down your face as you nod.
"Good you see your so good at following directions doll. Why don't I send the chefs over here to make you dinner, you shouldn't leave the apartment anyway since those paparazzi will be going crazy right?" he cooed, holding your chin in his hands. The touch making you flinch before you feel the same buzz of his electronic body as you had before. Your feelings are conflicted, you cant quite read him, you don't know if he somewhere in his hellish soul cares, or if he's the mastermind. Only time will tell. You stay tense nodding again to the best of your ability with your cheeks being squished by his claws. He lets go.
"Wonderful, doll you pick what you want and they'll be here in a zap"
Your mind is spinning as everything is happening, this man is so bipolar you cant get a beat on him. Hes ushering all these other demons in as they crowd in your apartment, its overwhelming. All the voices, people and noises of the table being set. You realize that Vox apparently isn't going anywhere and has invite himself to dinner, hurray for you, you guess.
Your favorite meal has been prepared courtesy of Vox Industries budget as you sit down across from the Mr CEO himself.
"May I ask Vox why are you still here?" he looks up at you and stares for a second making you uneasy. "I mean not that it's a bad thing I was just thinking you probably have much more important things to do like run the greatest tech company in all of hell right? like why would you be causally eating here with me." you laugh nervously.
"well I guess even I have somehow been lured by the sirens charm then haven't I, because that would be the only reason your immune to my magic." he mumbles the last part.
"huh?" you ask, the distance between you two at the table not being enough to mask the end of his words. When Vox realizes this his pixelated eyes widen.
"Nothing dollface take the compliment I dont give them often. Especally to sinners who pulls stunts like you did this morning. But I am a very kind boss and forgive you since your not activly planning on overthrowing the vees." he chuckles, his tone slightly unhinged as you see him grasp his fork tighter.
"Your right you dont have to worry about me... " You trail off still processing what Vox said. You wonder if you actually heard it, maybe you made it up. Who knows.
Eventually Vox turns to leave. "Well doll don't go causing anymore trouble til the next time I see you." He sighs. "Of course sir, wouldnt dream of it"
"like I said before just call me Vox" he retorts. "Right goodnight Vox"
"Goodnight Siren" and with that he zaps away.
(ok I don't remember writing thing I don't remember this existing.... So have it l o l .

Imagine ✨
Vox and the like popstar/ singer reader I've seen around. And since they're both famous and stuff people create ship names. "Electropop" <3
Hazbin Hotel is my hyperfixation and now that I know how to use Tumblr u get the rot that fills my brain about this very specific niche thought of a celeb/singer demon who is a siren bc I love mythology.<3 Kisses darling (also a song I had in my mind while writing this is our word by Jessie Shelton that shit slaps) - -
cold... so very cold, only three things, quite literally swam in your mind.
The water was cold but you were warm.
why were your legs so warm
you were finally free of him.
your eyes stung to keep open but you could now see the blood, that's why your legs were warm. he was flailing too, you could hear that.
Good. He deserves to struggle.
This is it this must be peace. nothingness, the cold almost is comforting, it's just a bath just take a nap...
Relax its all going to be over soon.
you expect to slip into nothingness but..
It's warm still... Why is it still warm? everything is warm now. Breathing how are you breathing?
Why are there screams? are you screaming?
opening your eyes still stings, everything is red. As you spin, you're on your feet... your feet? WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR FEET! Now you're sure you're screaming. Webbed feet are under your body. pale blue skin with freckles
As you spin frantically disoriented, you stumble to the ground not even processing quick enough, the red buildings with neon signs and the overwhelming smell of decay let alone the person who knocked you over.
"watch where you're going toots"
is that a MAN SPIDER? your feet carry you, as far as you can as you clamor and crawl, it's much harder now with these odd feet beneath you and a long layered dress you don't remember wearing. Hes yelling something, you don't hear, and your mind screams in agony in rationalizations of the situation you're in when you come to the conclusion...
It made sense that committing murder-suicide with your abusive partner via drowning would land you in hell.
