    Summary

    “I was thirty-nine years old when he enslaved me.”

    Gale frowns through the wine-fog in his mind as he searches his memory for details of elven lifespans. He knows they live for centuries. “What age do elves reach adulthood?” he asks – mostly to himself, but Astarion answers.

    “Somewhere around a hundred.”

    Gale freezes. A child. He might have had an adult’s body, but he was most definitely still a child. Not even halfway to adulthood. The equivalent of a human being abducted at … nine? Ten? He feels something cold twisting in his chest as he thinks of himself at age ten. At a shrine, being pulled into the shining expanse of the Outer Planes, his hand in Mystra’s.

    ---

    In which Gale finds out that it's hard to tell you're in an abusive relationship until you're out of it.

    Summary

    Your fingers brush over the pages of the open sketchbook in your lap, a charcoal stick held in your other hand. You flick it over your knuckles, tounging at the back of your teeth as you allow your wrist to move with your flowing thoughts.

    You think of Astarion’s words from the first time you had caught him gazing into that broken mirror, fresh on your mind even if it feels like it’s been ages since you’d heard them.

     

    “I want to know what the world sees when it looks at me. What you see.”

     

    (Or, you draw Astarion to show him what he looks like.)

    Summary

    Alicent smiles at her pout, presses a consolatory peck to her lips before smiling and leaning back, one hand pressing into Rhaenyra’s shoulder to stop her following.

    “Sit still and let me clean you up.”

    An aching kind of fondness lodges in Rhaenyra’s chest at the care masquerading as cajoling in her lover’s tone, and she nods in acquiescence.

    (She’d do just about anything if only Alicent asked it of her.)

    “Later, then.” She says, soft enough to show her agreement, but with just enough suggestion that Alicent knows how she intends to spend the evening.

    Alicent huffs out a chuckle, murmurs “you’re insatiable” with a tiny smile, and Rhaenyra feels she’s won the grandest of prizes.

    Summary

    Vecna is dead. It's the summer after the party's freshman year. Steve Harrington spends it in the Family Video Store, and Eddie Munson is spending post-graduate life bothering him. And maybe Steve isn't as bothered as he used to be.

    Summary

    “What are you doing?” Izzy manages, his voice is very strange in his ears, like it’s coming from someone miles and miles away.

    “Marrying you!” Ed laughs. Like it’s nothing. Like it’s a great bloody joke. “Don’t worry," he winks, "can divorce me soon as we get the discount on this fucking room."

    Or how Edward Teach gave Izzy Hands a ring that he still hasn't managed to take off.
