Summary
There’s a shameful part of him that knows he craves that violence and chaos and pain because it is all he knows. Because Astarion had to learn how to make peace and live with it or else he would have simply lost his mind. He had to find comfort in between the lashings, see consideration in the starvation, feel love as he was torn to sunder.
---
aka Astarion goes hollow, then cries, then is comforted by his found family.

Summary
But on occasion, it was more than his arrogance.
It was the gentle way he would grab her by the waist, lifting her easily over some fallen obstacle that was in their way. “There we go, darling,” softly murmured, almost unconsciously. Not letting go until he was sure her feet were on steady ground. Gods above knew the ground was never steady underneath her when he did that.
‘Stupid.’ She would think to herself. ‘Don’t be so stupid.’

Gavin was no accident and neither was falling in love with him - it was exactly what Michael needed to escape this life.

Summary
Chaos.
It was fucking chaos.
There were burger wrappers, empty candy packets, vegetable scraps, apple cores and empty ice tea bottles strewn all through the lounge room. It was like a hurricane had hit the inside of the apartment. Gavin had to step through the trash gingerly, lest he stand on a hidden bag of vomit beneath the crap and have it burst. It was getting so much worse, so fast.
(Also known as the one where Michael is bulimic.)

Summary
There’s screaming. Right in his ear, screams of pain. Agony. For a moment, Tav is back in the midst of battle, his companions dropping around him as he struggles to bring them back up, to smite the enemies around them. But the moment is fleeting, and he is not in battle. He is in his bed.
Someone should let Astarion know that.

Summary
She lay still and quiet.
“Really, darling,” he said, forcing a cavalier tone, falling flat though at least no one was here to witness. “This is terribly selfish of you. You go and set my heart into such a tizzy only to fall into a sleep-like death.” He sank to his knees beside her, listening to the howls of this cursed land, the crackling of the fires. “Terribly selfish,” he chided.
“Yes, Fangs,” he could imagine her saying, hands on her hips, the picture of indignation, “because this was all my grand plan. To take a fucking nap.”

Summary
There's something to be said for those moments in-between missions, the ones where you manage to hold off on worrying about the tadpoles in your brain. The brief instances of levity in which you can afford to appreciate the beauty hidden in this strange, precarious new world you find yourself navigating.
The moments where rubies sparkle in a new light behind a curtain of long lashes, the mischievous, twinkling stars casting a blue glow glossing off silvery hair. Pretty things seem suddenly far too intent to watch your mouth run away from you, especially where a particular traveling companion who you just can't seem to stay away from is concerned.
Can you merely be Astarion's mirror in all this? Can your honeyed words break through his bitter smiles? Or have your compliments doomed you both from the moment they left your lips?

Summary
“Fine,” she said. “Do you know the statistically most common way for the authorities to take out organized crime?”
Well, if that was her idea of enticing conversation, it was no wonder she had all those evenings free to chase after scoundrels like him. Still, Astarion didn’t want to antagonize her further and ruin the game, so he pursed his lips and guessed, “A very large, well-placed cannon?”
“Tax fraud.”
She looked at him as if she expected some sort of reaction – maybe a dramatic gasp? A palm flung to his forehead in a theatrical rendition of How could I not think of this?
Everything he could muster was a blink. “Tax … fraud.”
She nodded, obviously excited about what Astarion was sure were two of the most boring words in the English language, combined.
