  Summary

  Raphael offers Astarion a deal he can’t refuse. It’s better than anything he could hope for under Cazador, but he’s probably still in for a pretty bad time.
  Maybe there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, but only Raphael would know. For now.

  Will feature blood and gore, probably some implied non-con (this is Astarion, so you already knew that) also Cazador is his own warning, and Raphael is weird and cruel in his own way.
