    Summary

    Wyll, that sanctimonious bastard, refuses to help Astarion ascend. Astarion leaves the party, hoping they all die screaming.

    Ah, but Raphael has an offer: a mirror allowing travel between worlds. Surely there must be a universe where ascension is still on the table? There’s nothing left for Astarion in Baldur’s Gate, after all.

    It doesn’t matter that Wyll’s come looking for him. And it certainly doesn’t matter that Wyll follows through the glass, through boundless universes, through their myriad other lives—searching, chasing, never giving up.

    Summary

    He stills for a moment, and then he murmurs against her skin, “Like that, do you? You utter deviant.” He licks a broad path over the bite, then whispers in her ear, “Tell me, darling, did you lure me here hoping for something more?”

    Astarion decides to manipulate Emerie into caring about him the only way he knows how- with sex. He miscalculates badly.

    Summary

    While questing with you (Tav) and the others to find a solution to the tadpoles, Astarion fights the dreaded concept of developing *feelings* for someone. All while that someone pushes to show him he's not the slave he once was. A shield of sarcasm and well-crafted seduction clashes with stubbornness and determination, and something's gotta give. But will it come at a price?

    Warning: Contains spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3, dialogue spoilers, in-game spoilers.

    This story starts during the first sex scene with Astarion, in this case it happens before the Grove party because it happened early for me in game. Please take accuracy of game events with a grain of salt as I'm still only in Act 1 because the game keeps crashing my computer *sobs*. Anyway, this got into my head because the look Astarion gives you when you say you want to lose yourself in him breaks my heart, and makes me wish there was an extra option. Welp, here's an extra option lol.

    Update: I have finally finished my first playthrough... but still keep that grain of salt because my memory is crap LOL

    Summary

    In many ways, Wyll Ravengard grows up in plush comfort.

    His whims are catered to by attentive servants who make sure he is fed, clothed, and content. He never grows hungry, never wants for much. His education is seen to by the best teachers his father can find, attending lessons for music and dance and even sword fighting.

    Many of his peers call Wyll kind, strong-willed, sometimes even arrogant as all young boys of his station are. He’s smart and generous for his age, running into most challenges head first and intent on succeeding. A stubborn boy with a good heart—his mother’s heart, his father will say quietly when there is no one else to hear his voice grow soft.

    But from the moment that Wyll Ravengard was born he has been wracked by pain so severe that the medics had thought he would die before he ever reached his first year.

     

    (Or, soulmates share each other’s pain.)
