Summary
“I don’t perform!” Darren said.
“You don’t perform?” Cash said, and his hand found their wrist in the dark. He squeezed it; his voice was warm. “Hey, I reckon you perform a lot, and that’s all right, yeah? But I’m your boyfriend. You don’t have to perform for me. And besides, I’m asexual or whatever, so you don’t have to worry about being hot.” His fingers traced their palm. “I just want you to do a good job taking care of yourself for me.”
And Darren needed to be carted away to a facility for sex maniacs, because this turned them on.

Summary
"It’s not you. I hate talking about myself,” Cash said. “And I reckon I never had to before? Chook was my best friend, and he already knew everything important.” They both went quiet for a minute. "Sorry," he said.
Several thoughts lined themselves up in quick succession: the most important things about Cash weren’t about sex. They were maybe about the things Darren wasn’t allowed to ask. And fucking Chook knew those really important things, and Darren never would.
But they'd promised. They had to be okay with it.

Summary
Cash always went off around the holidays, and it was getting worse each year. It didn’t make sense, he said; he didn't have some traumatic memory associated with Christmas or his birthday. As far back as he could remember, his mother hadn't been well enough to celebrate. Most years both days had passed without acknowledgment.
"Okay," said Darren. "You didn't have a birthday. That's not traumatic?"
"I'm really not in the mood for Little Mx Did One Psychology Course," Cash said.

Summary
“Take all my sympathy as read,” Sam says, “it’s fucked up what they did to you, but my point still stands. If you like pain there’s plenty of normal people you could date.”
“If they like pain,” Bucky snaps, “then they’re not normal. Q.E.D.!” He gets really loud sometimes. “Besides, it’s not just pain. The details of what I need—you’d be horrified if I told you.”
“Yeah? I notice you haven’t tried telling me.” Sam can’t stand people making a big deal about how shocking their kinks are, and he can’t stand Bucky anyway. So it’s not the most palatable combination.

Summary
A practical person is pleased to acquire a slave who’s very competent and organized, and was also heavily discounted due to trauma. They spend a lot of time cuddling their slave, but they’re just being practical. OR ARE THEY?
This is idfic, so we’re not going to challenge the institution of slavery in this vaguely defined dystopian setting. We’re just going to blow this one traumatized slave’s mind with bath bombs.

Summary
It isn’t as if Astarion’s doing all this out of the goodness of his own heart, of course.
Wherein Wyll contends with being Grand Duke, Astarion foils assassinations, and both come to certain realizations.

Summary
Of course his would-be killer would take the shape of a beautiful, gallant man that seemed to have stepped right out of a storybook. Astarion was the villain of this story, the looming monster that held the hope of a happy ending in its grip till it was slain unceremoniously by the hero. Wasn’t he?
In 1450 DR, the fallen angel Zariel is overthrown by her jealous dukes in a bloody civil war, throwing the balance of power in the Hells into utter disarray. Almost half a century later, the Blade of Frontiers is put on the trail of a certain vampire spawn.
Or: a warlock, a werewolf, and a vampire walk into a tavern. Things escalate.

Summary
He was in the Blade of Frontiers’ tent. The monster hunter’s tent.
Astarion shot up to see the man sitting in the entrance, blocking the sun with his body. Did he save him just so he could be tortured properly? He’d heard about hunters tearing out fangs to wear as necklaces - selling eyes and claws on the black market. Hells, did he hunt bounties as well as monsters? Had Cazador bought him to reel Astarion back?
His eyes fell to the rapier. The way Wyll was blocking the only exit.
Even though this man had saved his life for no discernable reason, he still had power over him. Astarion was trapped here with a hunter who knew now just how bestial he really was.
He had to warm up to him. Give him a reason to keep him alive. Fawn.“Please don’t kill me.”
He’d never been particularly good at fawning.
In which Astarion and Wyll meet a bit earlier than established canon, in the middle of nowhere, in the dead of winter, and neither of them are at their best.

Summary
Three commands has Astarion broken, and now the fourth with a rapier through his gut and crossbow to his skull. Centuries he's wanted to be free—well, here it is. Dirt under his nails and blood behind his fangs. He's free. Isn't he fucking satisfied?
Astarion has not been a person in two hundred years. His journey to become one does not start off well.

Summary
Against the dim glow of the fire, Wyll shines. His skin, his horns. The soft gaze he has affixed to Astarion. And he’s handsome— as always. Like a prince from a dream long forgotten.
In the dream, Astarion can separate want from fear. In the dream, Wyll puts his night in Astarion’s hands. In the dream, all Astarion does is hold on.
