    Summary

    “How old are you, Astarion?”

    Astarion is not expecting the question, Halsin can tell by the way he jerks upright, spine straight, shoulders strong.

    “Two-hundred-and-forty,” he answers without hesitation. “Give or take a few years.”

    Halsin swallows, rewords his question. “How old were you when you were turned?”

    Astarion goes quiet. Extremely, cacophonously quiet.

    “Thirty-nine,” he finally says, a bolt straight into Halsin’s heart.

    -

    Halsin discovers Astarion was turned before his maturity and all the sacred elven rites that come along with it. Including the sex one.

    Summary

    “You know… count’s not for another 15 minutes…” Nai can hear the maddening smirk in Wolfwood’s voice. “How about a quick one?”
    “Absolutely not.”
    “Don’t be like that.”
    A shit-eating grin, a lollipop unwrapped and tucked behind milk-white teeth.

    “Just imagine I’m your brother.”


    Knives goes to prison.

    Summary

    Here’s the thing: Vash Saverem is broke. Not just poor — oh, no. He’s out-on-the-street broke. He’s three eviction notices down and the last one was printed on pink paper. Fired from two jobs within a week flavor of broke. He hasn’t eaten since yesterday morning when he inhaled a granola bar and had to drink directly from the tap to keep from choking.

    So, when he got said pink-papered eviction notice, Vash knew he couldn’t be picky about his employment anymore. When he initially went job searching, all his hope had spiraled down the drain with every page he sifted through. References, high school diploma, good standing, experience… Every single one listed something that Vash simply didn’t have. By the time he got to the fifteenth page, all the listings had been for such specific types of people that it was no wonder they weren’t getting snapped up immediately. Contractors and freelancers and people with connections that Vash could never even hope to have. All except for one:

    Summary

    Wolfwood doesn’t cheat, not the same way Vash does. He gets his hands dirty. He takes the guilt he deserves, the blame he deserves. Vash acts like everyone has the same option as him, that on this planet it’s not kill or be killed but some secret option that everyone has. No one does.

    Wolfwood bares his teeth. “Shut me up, then,” he challenges, and doesn’t miss the way Vash’s eyes darken and narrow like a predator sensing its prey.

    Summary

    He’s serious. Dead serious.

    Knives peers down at Vash, chin in hand. "He's mine," he says simply. "His first breaths were mine. Our hearts beat in time. And when you and all your kin are dust in the sand of this place, he will be mine still. Does that comfort you?"

    "No," Roberto says. “No, it doesn’t. You think he’ll survive that?”

    “I will make him survive it.”
