    Summary

    People like this just loved to walk in like they owned the place, trying to ‘shake things up.’ He’d seen enough of this type in his 9 months here; they never lasted, and Astarion made sure of that.

     
     
    Astarion's unlikely escape from Cazador has him holing up in the Lower City, working nights at the local pizza place. Things are going just about as fine as they could for a person in hiding, when a new shift lead gets hired on - a chef, ready to make some changes.

    Astarion is not a fan of change.

    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

    In which Astarion conceals a number of serious injuries until well into the Shadowcursed lands, at which point he chooses to make all of them Wyll's problem.

    Or: Astarion is shroomed thrice (but the third time is a lie.)

    Summary

    Wyll and Astarion, for their own reasons, have fallen into a sexual relationship with each other that neither of them actually enjoy, but both refuse to communicate this. Thankfully a near death experience, some unusual side effects from an antidote, and the power of being infested with mindflayer tadpoles is just the thing to get these two to actually communicate what they would like to have happen.

    Summary

    ***This work was previously posted and accidentally deleted because I'm a dumdum lollipop! If you were reading this before, I am so sorry, I'm reposting the whole thing! Ahhheeemmm best Rose freezing in the atlantic after the Titanic sank voice: come back!***

    Now that he's free of him, Astarion will do whatever he has to in order to stay out of Cazador's grasp. Even if that means letting one of his new companion's get their filthy hands on him. It's an all too familiar charade that he'll have to perform if he wants to convince one of these saps to take a bit, but he doesn't expect the druid to be the one to take the bait. And he certainly doesn't expect the man Halsin turns out to be, or that Astarion will end up falling for him, and hurting them both in the process.
