Summary
heavily did astarion identify with that—the notion that there could be someone out there who could have saved them. two people used to cellars and collars and experiments and pain, people used to the frenzy that swallows their fear and their terror. he remembered a time where he didn’t know what to do with his body, as if he couldn’t quite believe that the body he inhabited was his. astarion remembered laughing, then; when he could walk out into the sun and feel no pain, as if the curse was lifted? (a monster is always a monster, though, his migraines told him. the predator cannot become prey even when it is domesticated.) | two times barry & astarion comforted each other through their nightmares, and one time they didn't have to. commission for @denim-lich on tumblr! <3

Summary
The relationship was arguably transactional. They were friends, yes, but there was nothing more to the relationship outside of the occasional business decision, off-the-books investigation, or, when other forces allowed it, dinner and silence. This transactional nature was the reason why he stood in the doorway to his bedroom — the master bedroom of a penthouse apartment in Tokyo, an hour’s commute away from the base of operations in Japan for the Togami conglomerate — looking at the woman who slumbered carefully within it. The evening sun settles on the horizon, and he looks at her, recalling the events that had led up to this point. / originally uploaded '21. reupload 03/02/22.
