    Summary

    Wyll, the bleeding heart of the bloody Frontiers, really ought to be dead by now if this is how he treats the creatures of the night: walking off with one of them, alone, into the shadow of the trees, just to watch it feed.

    Astarion has a peculiar problem. Wyll has an unexpected solution.

    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.

    Summary

    "Mm," Karlach says, grabbing a whetstone as she sits beside him. "I think we should get married."

    Astarion chokes. Chokes again. Sets his glass down and continues choking. "Excuse me?"

    "We should get married," Karlach repeats, like he simply hadn't heard her. "Pass the wine, will ya?"

    The snow will melt in Baldur's Gate.

    Summary

    A tiger cloaked in black with a sundial moving over dark eyes flicks its tail, and a fox with blood-stained teeth lifts their head, and a serpent with poison bleeding through each crack in its iridescent scales melts back into the corpse as it speaks.

    "Curious," it says, a man's voice, rasped from age and still solid. Gold filigree, burial shroud. A storm bound to a raven's form spreads its wings. "What is the worth of a single mortal life?"

    (Vampires are not alive. Undead is not quite dead. Astarion is normal, until he isn't.)

    Or: five conversations Astarion has with Death.

    Summary

    The realization that she isn’t alone in her own body comes like a gunshot. It’s not like she’d imagined it to be. Not like being possessed by a demon she has to fight and win over. To her horror, she just feels complete. Like a missing piece has been slotted in and she can finally breathe easy.

    It wasn’t supposed to be like this. This wasn’t the plan. She was supposed to allow Helena into her body to take her over. She couldn’t kill the bitch, so this was the second best option. To consume her mind, take it into her own as the stronger of the two. Another part of her hates it for a completely different reason — there’s an inkling of disgust at herself, like she’s trapped in the walking flesh prison of her captor. Her own body is totally alien to her. The whole ordeal is mortifying. 

    Helly reintegrates to take over Helena and get rid of her forever. It doesn’t end up working out like that. Mark helps.
