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.

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.

Excerpt:

Halsin only had to turn his head slightly to be welcomed by the sight of Astarion’s body melting upon the furs, head thrown back and curls spilling over the pillow.

Drows purr. Vampires also purr. Astarion didn't know that.

Excerpt:

“Oh,” he heard Staeve exhale one evening, an odd inflection in his voice, as Astarion let himself almost doze off against his side. “Are you happy, babe?”

Summary:
aftermath of silenced, a century later

Excerpt:

They both knew how the song went at this point: Astarion didn’t need any prompting when he started unraveling—only enough space and time for him to pick the right thread and start pulling.

Summary:
Astarion speaks out of turn for the last time

Excerpt:

“You know, most vampire spawn need to relearn how to talk after they’re turned, because breathing doesn’t come naturally anymore to them after death,” Cazador drawled, pacing back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back. “You can’t speak, if you don’t remember how to breathe. But that never stopped you, did it?”

a bit of stalsin fooling around

Excerpt:

Staeve wasn’t a small man by any means, in any meaning of the word, but the druid was so large, it disoriented him in the best of ways. He wasn’t used to having to look up to kiss his partner.

Summary:
Astarion distracting himself from the dread of anticipation.

Excerpt:

It was a game of play pretend. The rules were very simple, but not always easy to follow.

Summary:
Logue services his Master with his best skill.

Excerpt:

“No, Logue,” his Master stopped him. There was amusement in his soft voice, languid and distant. “Be obedient. What did I say?”
Logue bit his lip, but he didn’t lick his finger. He shifted back to his knees, and went back to his task.

Notes: a little context -- this is sort of canon divergence where astarion targets halsin instead of tav, because Beeg Elf Archdruid sounds like a good candidate to keep himself safe. if this were happening in game, it would be the very first sex scene with astarion after the party, basically: it's their first encounter, and halsin doesn't know anything about astarion, except that he's a vampire. on the other hand: this was supposed to be just a bit of fun where halsin touched astarion's ears and found out he liked it, and then i lost the plot.

Summary:
Halsin and Astarion's first sexual encounter, away from camp while everyone is sleeping. Just a bit of fun, uncomplicated and straight-forward--until Halsin realizes something about Astarion is off.

Excerpt:

Halsin caught his wrists, bringing him close enough to slot their knees together. “Nothing would please me more than pleasuring you,” he replied, keeping his voice light and playful. “Don’t you think that makes us rather the perfect match?” He ran his hands lightly up his arms, along his shoulders and his neck, until he was cradling his jaw in his palms. “I have no intention of rejecting you, Astarion.”

Summary:
Astarion has nightmares. All his lovers can do sometimes, is wait. Healing is a difficult journey.

Excerpt:

Halsin held Staeve close, rubbing his shoulders to comfort him, to comfort himself. He focused on his breathing, shallow but warm against his skin, as he made himself watch Astarion as he kept writhing on the bedroll, plagued by invisible touches, crying out from time—it was hard to witness, especially knowing they could do nothing but wait.

Notes: Disclaimer before anyone starts riding my ass about corsets!!!!! This is torture porn. this is a magic fictional corset I made up to be sturdy and evil so that Cazador could be an asshole to Astarion. Real life corsets aren't uncomfortable if worn correctly and fit to size. You can breathe in a corset, and it won't break your ribs. Tightlacing might require training but afaik isn't inherently dangerous— also tight lacing focuses on waist reduction and not whatever the fuck gets Cazador's rocks off. Why did Cazador pick this particular way to be an asshole? I don't know, I don't care, and neither should you. Suspension of disbelief beam!!!

Summary:
some cazador/astarion torture porn, featuring petras as an accessory to crimes and a corset.

Excerpt:

He could see the pieces of Cazador’s plan align in front of him — the party, a punishment yet to be delivered, Petras — but they kept escaping his grasp, as they slipped just under the surface of logic. Frustration went to add itself to the load of distress weighing on his chest.
