It was a universal thing, seemingly shared by all sentient beings. From the smallest halfling to the tallest orc, everyone left a trail of petals in their wake.
To tell the honest truth, Oscar Wilde did not like it one bit.

Summary
Cel gives Wilde an awkward punch on the shoulder, and Wilde rubs at the spot without really giving it much thought. “You know?” they repeat, and Wilde scoffs under his breath.
“Close,” he says, tilting his head, “but no. Sasha… did not like me very much.”
Or, a reflection, and a surprise.

Summary
Wyll has met vampire spawn before, all of them monstrous, but he's always liked to think there were good spawn out there somewhere not engaging in mass murder, that maybe monster hunters didn't see good monsters because good monsters weren't the ones out killing people.
Wyll hopes Astarion will be one of the different ones.

Summary
Astarion saw a pale elf standing before him. He was tall, gaunt, fingers straining into claws. His body was contorted, hunched and shivering. His eyes — red, blood red — looked haggard and desperate, ringed with dark purple shadow. His pupils shook with an untamed frenzy.
Astarion recognized that expression with an innate clarity, had seen it worn by his siblings countless times before.
I have a mole on my cheek, he thought, dazed, before razor-sharp fangs tore into the flesh of his neck and ripped — warm. Bursting with blood.
---
Wyll and Astarion switch bodies. Wyll immediately loses control and bites Astarion. Astarion takes advantage of the aftermath to guilt trip him for far too long.

In which Wyll falls in love with a monster, and nothing is as it seems.
