    Summary

    Thistle woke up in a soft bed, birds singing, sun shining. The Winged Lion should have killed him, but he couldn't care anymore.

    Summary

    Karlach smiles at him as the sun begins to set, her eyes softening around the corners, a nervous look flickering over her features. And Astarion is already expecting what comes next, but it still feels like shards of ice blooming behind his ribs.

    “Do you think I can sleep in your tent tonight? Now that I can’t hurt you or set the damn thing on fire.” She asks with a breathy chuckle, an uncharacteristic anxiety making her shift on her feet, her bottom lip caught under her teeth. He has no disillusions on what her words could mean. She’s not likely looking to do much sleeping when she is free to touch him now.

     

    (Or, Karlach can freely touch the people she loves now. Astarion makes a few wrong assumptions.)

    Summary

    When Astarion awakens in the aftermath of the Nautiloid crash, it is not to a friendly face but the press of goblin steel against his cheek.

    Now a captive of the Absolute, he is left starving and huddled in the corner, waiting for the beast that shares his cell to finally strike.

    Bears, after all, are not known to be the most gracious killers.

    Summary

    Halsin sighed. “Astarion…I care for you. I care for you deeply.”

    “You don’t know me,” Astarion insisted.

    “Then let me.” Halsin slowly, carefully, reached for Astarion’s hands. Astarion let him. “Speak. One word from you, and I will leave you be.”

    or: astarion and halsin dance carefully around affection, devotion, adoration.

    Summary

    Crawling over Halsin while on top of his own grave was not exactly the destination Astarion had in mind at the start of their relationship, but he was a rather impulsive man when the whim caught him.

     

    (Or, Astarion grows closer to Halsin while in Baldur’s Gate.)
