    Summary

    ----

    His voice was barely a breath, his desperation palpable. "Please... save me."

    Cazador's laughter echoed in the night, the sound a haunting symphony that sealed Astarion's fate. With a graceful movement, he leaned in, his lips brushing against Astarion's ear. "As you wish."

    Summary

    When Astarion awakens in the aftermath of the Nautiloid crash, it is not to a friendly face but the press of goblin steel against his cheek.

    Now a captive of the Absolute, he is left starving and huddled in the corner, waiting for the beast that shares his cell to finally strike.

    Bears, after all, are not known to be the most gracious killers.

    Summary

    Leon’s pretty sure the afterlife isn’t supposed to hurt this much.

    In the midst of making peace with his death at the hands of the Krang, Master Leonardo is thrown over two decades into the past, courtesy of his little brother.

    Now faced with the challenges of reconnecting with a family he’d thought lost to him forever, the constant reminders of his past failures, and the antics of his sixteen year old self, Leon swiftly concludes he’s too old for this, and has to wonder if it’d been better had he not returned at all.

    Summary

    In his dreams, there had always been a voice. A soft melodic voice that sang their mother's lullaby. A more monotonous, but just as loving voice that promised he'd teach him to fight one day, once he was old enough of course. The doting voice of a mother laughs with a toddler as she gently tries to fix a small crown onto the boy's brow. And then there was the gentle voice of a father, that promised to always keep him safe from those who'd do them harm.

    And in the morning when the boy would awake, he'd wonder who exactly he needed to be protected from.

    "Tommy?" A voice called out from the doorway and Tommy grinned gleefully at the sight of his older brother.

    "Dream!" He yelled, stumbling out of bed and into his arms, hugging the man tight. His brother returned the hug in kind, his hands pressing warmly into the spot on his back where his wings would ignite from for the first time in a few days, fully grown.

    Surely Dream was all the protection Tommy would ever need in this world, right?

    A knot of doubt coiled tightly in his chest.
