    Summary

    Jonathan Wick, at one point in his life, didn't pay much mind for people's dirty little secrets.

    He'd always liked listening to people, and learning about them, a bit too shy to talk to them himself. A gap tooth and a beauty mark made him a little self-conscious, as if he could hear a phantom lisp in his every word. But he'd never been ravenous for gossip or scandals, particularly, until it became a matter of necessity.

    It started the day that Cera fell.

    Summary

    There was a dead man on the midden heap; if not dead yet, soon.

    It wasn’t hard to guess how he’d ended up there - the man looked the part of a devil. Such was the fate of monsters in the hands of civilization.

    Summary

    Three commands has Astarion broken, and now the fourth with a rapier through his gut and crossbow to his skull. Centuries he's wanted to be free—well, here it is. Dirt under his nails and blood behind his fangs. He's free. Isn't he fucking satisfied?

    Astarion has not been a person in two hundred years. His journey to become one does not start off well.
