  2. Summary

    Astarion: HAHA! I manipulated and tricked you all into liking me and never abandoning me!

    The Party: By making well-balanced decisions that met the needs of the group while helping us accomplish our short-term goals and listening to us talk when we were upset and stuff? Despite the fact you didn't always want to do that?

    Astarion: Wait....

    The Party: That's just friendship, stupid.

    AKA: A collection of things that ostensibly happen in the same little mental universe. Loosely based on the events of an Origin Astarion run and the various questions it inspired. Not published in sequential order, but ordered somewhat by the narrative timeline.

    Summary

    The air shimmered with a sudden burst of warmth and light, but before Pok could look up to see what it was, a voice called from across the meadow.

    “Dad!”

    Pok dropped his pencil, his heart sinking into the heels of his oxfords.

    Summary

    “Why don’t we go out?”

    Kristen stared at him with wide, red-rimmed eyes. “What.”

    Riz shrugged. “You’re upset because your worst date was with Tracker, right? So let’s go out, then it’ll be with me.”

    Summary

    “I hear it.” Rook spoke barely in a whisper. When she turned her head to look at him, he could see tears streaking down her cheeks.

    He pulled himself upright in an instant, his hands automatically going to wipe the tears from her face. Her eyes met his. Lucanis tried to ignore the way Spite buzzed at the back of his skull like an anxious dog.

    “Hear… what?” There was a distinct possibility he did not truly wish to know the answer.

    -

    Every Grey Warden must eventually answer to the Calling. Even Rook.

    Summary

    “A gift?” Astarion didn’t bother trying to hide the incredulity in his tone. It was bad enough that he was still having to adjust to running away from the sun again, and an open reminder of the other things he was lacking as a permanent vampire spawn felt particularly cruel. “In case you forgot, I can’t fucking see my—

    Astarion cut himself off mid-rant, his eyes falling angrily toward the mirror only to see…something. Not himself, not really, but standing there between his partners, with their reflections plain to see in the mirror before them, he could almost get…a sense of himself; a hazy outline more easily imagined with Lae’zel’s slight frame against his left side and Halsin’s wide bulk against his right.

    “We know,” Lae’zel answered, stalwart despite the ferocity of his attack. “But we can help.”
