    Summary

    The language of their intimacy is all inverted. Astarion shies away from the lightest touches and evades the subject any time Wyll tries to talk about this budding thing between them. Wyll bares himself over and over and over and still, sometimes, it feels as if Astarion is only ever seeing him in glimpses.

    The closer Wyll gets to Astarion, the further away he seems to be.

    Summary

    Wyll wants—oh, what he wants these days could fill a library. He tries to keep his attention on the moment and his hopes no further afield than tomorrow morning. There are bigger concerns than his love life. There is more to do than wonder how sweet those lips might taste under the rosy warmth of sunlight.

    Wyll and Astarion have been dancing around each other--and the moment of intimacy they shared--for the better part of a month.

    Summary

    Hallucinations come a little more naturally to elves than other races. The vapor-thin veil between the reverie of trance and stark reality takes so little effort to pierce. An elf dreams through their memories without ever truly sleeping; thus, dreams do not always wait for consciousness to exit before stepping onto the stage. At least, that's how Astarion sees it. He's never had his assumptions checked by a second opinion.

    Astarion, at Tav's request, eats something that doesn't agree with him. This has unexpected consequences.

    Summary

    At night, alone in his bedroll, Astarion’s mind wanders. Away from himself, his body, his own recursive and increasingly irritating patterns of thought—it wanders and it wanders until it, eventually, ends up back where it started. Astarion on his knees, entertaining someone else.

    He has spent two hundred years fantasizing about freedom—ludicrous dreams, where he is fed, where he is warm, where he parts Cazador’s head from his neck with his fangs—the stupidest, most basic, crudest ideas of what he might do if only he had the power to control himself. And now that he has that control, he fantasizes about someone taking it away again.

    Specifically, he fantasizes about Wyll.

    For some time, now, Astarion has fantasized about Wyll Ravengard putting him in his place. This isn't a problem, until suddenly it is.
