    Summary

    After all is said and done, Astarion and Tav return to the underdark, seeking the liberated spawn of Cazador, and beginning their search for a cure.

    After all is said and done, the spawn of Cazador observe their brother, and try to reconcile the Astarion they knew before, and the Astarion that stands before them now.

    The spawn of Cazador watch, they remember, and (eventually) they heal.


    Or


    A look at the lives and logistics of seven thousand spawn running around the underdark in the aftermath of the events of BG3, told from the perspective of Astarion’s siblings, as they try to come to terms with all the ways their brother has seemingly changed, and navigate the impossible task of figuring out what it actually means to try living again.

    Summary

    Astarion is quiet, when all is said and done.

    Casmir keeps a careful eye on him as they make their trek back to the inn, somewhere they can rest and heal. Astarion is unsteady on his feet, floaty, his ruby eyes glassy. As if he were miles and miles away from here, as if he were still in that Gods damned castle. He’s swallowed by Casmir’s undershirt, the only thing the tiefling had on hand that he could spare for him. Astarion’s pale face is stained copper with blood, clumps stuck in his hair and caught in his flickering lashes.

     

    (Or, Casmir takes care of Astarion after Cazador’s death.)

    Summary

    “What—what do you see, when you look at me?”

    Astarion’s lips twitch into an instinctive smile, both curious and confused. “You needn’t use me as a mirror, love, surely you can see that handsome face of yours all on your own.”

    Yanis’s mouth parts for a moment, suddenly feeling ridiculous for having even asked, but Astarion swiftly continues before he can get a word out.

    “But really, darling, if you wanted me to return the favor, you only needed to ask. I’m always happy to oblige.”

     

    (Or, Astarion is surprisingly good at giving comfort.)

    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.)
