    Summary

    When Astarion is assaulted on their way to Baldur's Gate, he is not even surprised. Yet another day in his miserable life. He could have done without his party hearing about it, but it isn't as if they don't already know how depraved he is.

    That they care enough to rescue him is... unexpected.
    That they insist on not brushing it off and on giving him time to heal is downright ridiculous.

    What is he supposed to heal from exactly?
    His entire existence?

    ***

    Or, Astarion is raped and his traumas are catching up with him. But now he has a whole party behind him and, for the very first time, he has the luxury to break down.

    Summary

    Geir Dagrsson knows three things: cattle die, kinsmen die, but the one thing that doesn’t is a man’s deeds. He just didn’t expect his greatest one to be marrying the brat prince of East Anglia, and worst of all, the son of one of his father’s killers: a Saxon.

    Ӕlfstan, son of Cadwallon, loathes the heathens plaguing their lands. When he is sold off in marriage to one, he will do whatever it takes to free himself from the man, his father’s wishes be damned. The Viking he is promised to also proves to be just as irritating as he expected.

    Little do they both know, sinister forces are looking to sow more discord between the denizens of East Anglia, with Geir and Ӕlfstan at the centre of it all.

    Summary

    He spreads his hands, cocks a hip, knows it’s a grotesque parody. “What? Aren’t I still beautiful?”
    “I…” Gale whispers, then swallows hard. “Astarion…”
    “This is what happens to a spawn when their sire dies. Apparently. It doesn’t seem to matter how much I feed—and before you ask, I’ve been spending what little energy I have hunting down the rest of Bhaal’s cultists. They taste vile,” he adds conversationally.
    “You’re rotting,” Gale says hoarsely. “You’re—gods, Astarion, how long has it been like this?”

     

    The events of the game, but make it bloodweave, alternated with post-game Waterdeep Times. It’s told in vignettes because, well, otherwise it would be a million words long.
