Summary:

Excerpt:

Astarion swallowed one last time and pulled away, mindful not to rip more skin than he'd already injured, licking the wound to encourage clotting. He found Staeve smiling up woozily at him, his eyelids heavy and slow, his freckles and his scar starker against the pale complexion of the recently bloodless. “Oh, dear,” Astarion murmured, taking his chin between two fingers to pull him closer and to have a better look at his face. “You seem loopier than usual, love. Did I take too much?”

Summary:
astarion and cazador sit for a painting

Excerpt:

The silver lining was that Astarion would get to do something that he hadn’t been able to do in almost a century: see himself. It had been so long since he had a reflection, he had the impression that he was starting to forget what his face looked like. Light hair, light eyes, light skin — and then what? He didn’t remember. It could’ve been any high elf in Baldur’s Gate, from the description alone.

Summary:

Excerpt:

Rebirth. It made him wonder how lucky it was that they couldn't remember what the first time had been like. Because, if every time it was anything like what he was going through right now, then it meant they truly were being born to this world only to suffer, and suffer, and suffer—and to suffer again, as they tore themselves to pieces to try and make it into something worth living.

Notes: staeve belongs to MAF/velnna, who also did some incredible editing work on this story (on top of giving me the original concept)

Summary:
Staeve plans a fun evening, and Astarion takes a calculated risk (but boy, is he bad at math). Navigating triggers and trauma.

Excerpt:

Astarion’s sight swam. “How pretty,” he heard himself say. It was a corset. “Do you like it?“ Staeve asked, but then he rushed on, almost eating his own words. “It's probably not my style, but I thought — let's be fancy! Just for fun. Right?” Astarion’s head snapped up. “Oh. It's … for you?”

Summary:
the one where staeve gets hurt and tries to sleep it off, and finds out he can count on his partners to get care of themselves

Excerpt:

“Do you want me to get Staeve?“ Halsin’s deep voice rumbled, close and strong. Oh. Staeve wasn’t asleep. Astarion had a nightmare for real. “Gods, no, let him sleep, he needs the rest,” Astarion answered, his voice scraped and broken.

Summary:
the one where astarion comes back from the hunt, and finds halsin and staeve going at it (he cannot bring himself to interrupt)

Excerpt:

Astarion slowly, quietly, pulled the flap at the entrance of the tent, just enough so he could peek inside; he felt like a fool for sneaking around his own tent, but at the same time there was a tightness in his chest, a tremble in his limbs that stopped him from just going in, interrupting the moment.
