    Summary

    The Royal Baldur Ballet's upcoming season is poised to be the most dramatic yet. With seven gorgeous ballets to stage, first soloist Astarion Ancunín is convinced this will be the season he finally shines bright enough, worthy of the rank of principal dancer. Enter Wyll Ravengard, stage left, and everything is about to change.

    ~*~

     

    Wyll Ravengard is most definitely not an apprentice. Astarion knows that name, Wyll Ravengard. He won the Prix de Lausanne five or so years ago, the most prestigious competition for ballet students. Even as a student, it was clear that Wyll was going to be the ballet world’s next big star.

     

    And now he’s here, in Astarion’s barre spot. In his rank.

With the support and friendship of some other unfortunate adventurers suffering the same tadpole in their brains that he somehow ended up with, he hopes to find out who he was, and more importantly, who it is he just couldn't forget. Well, as long as these strange murderous outbursts don't frighten them away, or worse, end their lives before they can help him. The much requested sequel to You're Awful, I Love You.

    Summary

    “Surely you don’t expect me to apologize,” Astarion goes on after a minute. “It was only a joke, but even if it wasn’t. Having a few romps—as pleasurable as they were—hardly makes you entitled. And jealousy is such an unattractive trait.” He huffs through his nose. “I regret I asked. Nothing good ever comes from trying to be nice.”

    “Nice?” Tav laughs despite the lump in his throat. “You just called me stupid and unattractive.”

    “Don’t twist my words, darling. You’re not very good at it.”

    * * *

    Or, Tav gets insecure and Astarion reassures him the only way he knows. Act 1, post tiefling party.

    Happy Valentine's! 💞

    Summary

    “I’d thank you if the wine was any good,” the pale elf said softly. Sensing Tav’s scrutiny, he lifted his long lashes—painted black, no doubt—and gave Tav a piercing look. Gods, but he was beautiful. If his… time… was for sale, and Tav had gone and spent the last of his gold on a drink he disliked, he’d never forgive myself.

    He had never done it before. Paid for love. But he would now, if he had the means.

    Not that a hundred coins could buy him an hour with a man as fine as this.

    No. His plan was rather to see if he couldn’t negotiate… an exchange.

    * * *

    Or, Tav and Astarion met before the events of the game, fell in like at first sight, and got in trouble soon after.

    Summary

    Gale expected a kid that was spoiled and wouldn’t listen to reason or sense. He expected a small version of Astarion. He expected a brat.

    Not this… this child that hid behind Halsin’s legs and stared at them with thinly veiled wariness.

    “What happened?” Gale asked, still staring at the child. Those wide red eyes looked at him and immediately looked away when they locked. The wizard felt something in his heart break at the scared child. Because this was a child.

    Astarion was a child and had no idea who anyone was.

    Summary

    Astarion is still one of the Magistrates within Baldurs Gate, but is hardly one who is interested in true justice or fairness, and is focused on his political future where he can climb the social ladder as far as possible, away from his lowly rat catching slum beginnings.

    One day, a young man comes to his office begging for help.

    To provide that help means our not so pale elf, will need to make a trip to the Szarr Estate and do his upmost to avoid meeting the elusive Cazador Szarr. A powerful man who’s reputation and shadowed reach in the city means he is not the man to cross.

    Is justice for one worth the risk?

    Summary

    Brusquely, Cazador’s awareness returns to him, and he finds he is no longer enjoying the evening. He was lost in his thoughts long enough that Astarion has lifted his head, blood-red eyes staring at him. They are wide open and terrified, of course. There is also a plaintive quality, one that inspires the most sadistic desires in him, and there is inquisition, at what in the hells might be going on within Cazador’s mind that led to this bizarre lull of routine. Whether there is a way out, Cazador wagers, of this night that leaves him in less misery than either of them expected.

    Cazador refuses to feel infuriated at his loss of control over the evening. He may still reclaim it.

    Cazador tortures Astarion and then rapes him. In brief, it is what the title says

    Summary

    What happens if they lose to Cazador?

    ...

    When he had finished, he sat on the edge of his bed and waited. Silent and motionless.
    He waited, not daring to do anything else.
    The sun rose and set again.
    It repeated itself. And even after the fourth repetition, he still sat there motionless.
    Astarion thought about the others. Without water, they would slowly die of thirst. And hunger would gnaw at them too.

    At the fifth sunset, Astarion's door opened. He remained seated and waited for instructions. The vampire didn't look up either. He knew which of his siblings was standing there. Cazador always instructed Petras to fetch him.

    Summary

    Astarion returns and Cazador remembers.


    His pillow hears it all and Vellioth doesn’t, he hopes. Maybe this would be the only acceptable prayer, provided he continues to worship at Vellioth’s feet, sleep at the foot of Vellioth’s bed, and try to win some scrap of favor from the Martinet.

    He is up before Vellioth and Vellioth is up before the rest of the house. The buttons of Vellioth’s doublet are familiar under his hands. He counts each one as he fastens it, finishing with the button at the top. The collar just covers Vellioth’s own two pin prick scars.

    “Do not slouch, boy.”

    Cazador tries to straighten. His spine feels pulled taught already, ramrod straight and frozen, a startled deer under Vellioth’s gaze. He tries to stretch it further, towards the heavens he will never reach.

    Vellioth does not seem satisfied.
