    Summary

    Wyll Ravengard has read a lot of romances. He knows how this story goes: the beautiful, consumptive courtesan falls in love with an idealistic man who wants to rescue her from her lot in life, only to die of the disease before they can wed.

    Wyll has read a lot of romances. He knows the signs. Astarion's deathly white pallor, his thin frame, the specks of blood lingering on his lips. Astarion, like Mimi, like Marguerite Guatier, is dying of consumption. Any romance between them is already doomed.

    Or, Wyll is genre savvy. Too bad it's the wrong genre. He thinks he's the hero of a gothic romance, but he's really found himself in a gothic horror.

    Summary

    Subconsciously, he realizes the words on his tongue feel like they’re trying to split him open the way his own sister wanted all along, but the hand on his cheek is his anchor. He chokes, a fragile and wounded sound, and before he can swallow the mortification, he whispers, “I wish you were my sister instead.”
