Summary
"So I imagine you'd like to take advantage while you have the chance," Tav teases him.
"Take advantage?" Astarion repeats incredulously. "I want to hollow out the entirety of you with my teeth until there's absolutely nothing left. I want to curl up and die inside of your wet, open, ridiculously humongous corpse."
Tav tucks a strand of hair behind one of Astarion's delicately pointed ears. "That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me."

Summary
"Ate something," Tav says. "Tainted. Succubus."
Astarion looks at him like he is witnessing the folly of man anew. "...Why?"
Tav hangs his head, ashamed for the first time since it happened. "I thought… it smelled a bit… like you."

Summary
He didn’t have much of a frame of reference to compare Casmir to, of course, not when his parade of lovers were excluded to nights that ended in their deaths. But what he has with Casmir is—different. Wholly unique in its own right. Astarion cares about them more than he ever has for another person before, and the thought is still just a little terrifying.
And even if Astarion still doesn’t quite understand it, it was obvious that Casmir cared about him too.
So there he laid with a new problem—intimacy. Sex. Fucking. Whatever you wished to bloody call it.
(Or, Astarion realizes that he doesn’t want sex.)

Summary
None noticed his sickness. Of course they didn’t. Astarion had taken great pains to make sure they would not. He’d crafted himself as a man bothered by nothing, a man who took pleasure in anything and everything, and especially in a sadistic sort of violence. He could be romantic, if his partner wanted it. He could be charming and seductive. He could be demure. Anything and everything; a thousand different masks to lure people to their deaths. This mask, this Astarion that smiled with his sharp teeth and called Tav 'sweet' and 'darling' was as much as construction as every other version of himself had been.
Astarion breaks and remakes himself again and again. If love conquers all, why does loving Tav hurt so much? Can something so painful, so deceitful, ever be real?

Summary
It’s in that second, as his teeth are just above Tav’s flesh and blood is flowing under the skin, when the tadpole acts up, their minds connect and Astarion hears one word:
Disgusting.
It’s spoken with contempt.

Summary
"Stop… being so nice to me." Astarion glares at Tav, and there's a sharp sadness in his eyes. “I might get used to it."
"You can get used to it. If you want." Tav's reply is simple and hopeful, and a few beats of pause pass between them. "Can I show you?"
--
Tav can't sleep. Astarion is eager to help.

Summary
Astarion doesn’t need a reflection to know himself – two hundred years of servitude has shown him exactly what he’s good for. Odd that his new partner seems to disagree.
Or, five times Astarion regretted being seen over the past centuries, and one time he didn’t.

Summary
Astarion knows what he should be doing right about now. He should be aiming a half-lidded gaze up, smirk on his lips and a whisper of, “Enjoying the view, my love?”
But he doesn’t. He can’t.
He’s too busy dragging his lips along the length of Tav’s cock, nose against the skin all the way up until his lips kiss his balls.
Astarion is all too used to being on his knees for someone. Sometimes, he just needs Tav to take him back to that feeling.

suck the rot right out of my bloodstream by FlowerCitti

Summary
Astarion moves his legs just slightly to press against Casmir’s broad shoulder, a teasing point of contact. The tiefling doesn’t shift away.
But his hands still haven’t moved to tend to Astarion’s wound. “Can I touch you?”
Astarion stares at them for a few moments, meeting that burning gaze, fanned by thick lashes. People don’t often ask him that—they just do. It didn’t matter whether he wanted them to or not, only that he was a pretty thing they wanted to get their hands on.
He shakes his head before he can fade away into bad memories, blinking several times. He smirks instead, slipping into flirtation easily, eyes lidded and something like revulsion at himself bubbling in his gut, “As much as you’d like, my dear.”
(Or, Astarion has had his consent revoked for over two centuries. Then he meets Casmir.)

Summary
It has been a very long time since Astarion has cared for another living soul outside of his own. What good would it have done him, in the face of Cazador?
But then he finally tasted freedom again—and then there was Tav.
After two centuries of pure shit, of torture and existing as the barest sliver of a person, Astarion began to remember what it felt like to care.
(Or, Tav teaches Astarion how to be selfless.)

Summary
Your fingers brush over the pages of the open sketchbook in your lap, a charcoal stick held in your other hand. You flick it over your knuckles, tounging at the back of your teeth as you allow your wrist to move with your flowing thoughts.
You think of Astarion’s words from the first time you had caught him gazing into that broken mirror, fresh on your mind even if it feels like it’s been ages since you’d heard them.
“I want to know what the world sees when it looks at me. What you see.”
(Or, you draw Astarion to show him what he looks like.)

Summary
Tav pulls Astarion's face into the crook of his neck and there, the vampire inhales faster than he can get the breaths in. The smell; blood below the skin and sweat sat on top of it. His tongue is out before he realizes, lapping over the area, dragging up any taste he can get.
Tav’s other hand presses into the small of his back, arching Astarion into him, making him whine at the feeling of the cock shifting inside him, until Astarion’s chest is flush against Tav’s.
“Feed.”
When the Shadow-Cursed lands lack suitable prey, Astarion distracts himself from the hunger with sex until he can’t anymore.

Summary
Yugi's sick, but he doesn't believe it.
Nonetheless, his uncle ships him off to the Sennen Manor in the Pacific Northwest, far away from the life he built for himself in California, as a way for him to "get better". But something is strange about the manor, and even stranger about the mysterious Lord Sennen. And Yugi starts to feel less like an honored guest.
And more like prey.

Summary
When he had met Atem at a Halloween party last year and had asked what he did for a living, he'd thought the other had just been flirting when he said he was a knight in shining armor. Admittedly it had worked that night, but when he actually went to Atem's house a few days later and saw all the costumes, swords, and riding equipment Yugi took it a bit more seriously.
