    Summary

    Here is what you still remember: the wind in your hair, the sun on your face, the briny smell of the sea. You cling to it, scraps of what it meant to be alive, to be free.

    A boy dies at sea as recompense for his father's sins. A shade chases a princess in an ambitious game of tag. Icarus runs, until he relearns how to fly.

    Summary

    “Every time your mind is racing, you find somewhere to be alone. You were not at the docks, which means that it must be serious enough to warrant a distraction.” Her thumb brushes over his knuckles. “What’s on your mind?”

    Viktor is deeply unsettled by the fact that she knows him well enough to have noticed. Unsettled more by the fact that she’d sought him out.

    (It makes him want to be honest. Which is a mindless, traitorous thought, but the truth nonetheless.)

    Summary

    Still, centuries of having the idea that nothing is freely given pounded into his head have left a mark. And Astarion knows that the only currency that he has that’s worth anything in this kind of situation is his body, especially when Karlach hasn’t been able to touch anyone in years. He feels like he owes her this, after all of the kindnesses she’s afforded him, and who knows? He might even enjoy it. He could see himself enjoying it, if he did it right.

    ***

    In which Karlach is an angel and Astarion is a little caught up in his own mind.
