    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

    It used to be his body that he gave away to be used, but he hasn’t done that since this whole ordeal began. He never went to bed with Tav as he’d planned, and he isn’t sure what the name is for what he feels when he thinks of doing it now – making himself a commodity he can trade for safety, security. Not quite disgust, but a repulsion that’s probably always been there, he just never had the luxury of acknowledging it before.

    Even as repellent as he finds the idea now, selling himself is still easy. It’s practiced, routine. A role he slips into, a mask he pulls on far too easily.

    Deciding when it’s safe to give up these softer, littler pieces of himself is a far more daunting task.

    And maybe that’s why it needs to be done.
