    Summary

    In which Astarion learns he isn’t the only one with trauma, and realizes maybe having a friend is exactly what he needs.

    ———

    “So what, you just offer yourself up to anyone who asks?” his voice was perhaps more sharp than intended, because no sooner had the question left his lips than you had flinched and looked away from him again. Why was he so angry right now? Why did he suddenly have this overwhelming and irrational desire to smack some sense into you? To lecture you about self respect and personal safety?

    I originally posted this in the middle of the night, but I’m reposting now after some additional edits because I wasn’t satisfied with the first version. That’ll teach me to post when sleepy.*

    *it won’t. I’ll learn nothing. 😂

    Summary

    Gale shifts in a way that looks like an attempt at a shrug, but then makes another alarmed noise when the vines shift around him in response.

    “Fuck,” says Astarion, and then “Fuck,” and then, “Well. Let’s just try, and then. Ah. If it doesn’t work… we’ll try something else.”

    He pulls out his dagger, and Gale makes another little abortive noise. Oh, he supposes it is rather large, isn’t it. All the better to stab people. Less useful for precision Gale extraction.

    “Look, it’s this or an even bigger knife,” Astarion says, with only the faintest sliver of contrition. He sighs. “You know I know my way around a blade, Gale. You’re just going to have to trust me.”

    Summary

    “I feel like I’ve told you this before,” Satoru sighs eventually, still refusing to meet Suguru’s eyes. “I don’t— trust other people to touch me.”

    Suguru lifts an eyebrow. “You don’t trust me?”

    (or: Suguru just wants to touch Satoru without the barrier. Despite not allowing himself to be touched in years, Satoru lets him.)
