Summary
Hey, she typed, it’s actually really not cool to use someone else’s pictures on your tinder profile. I figured I should let you know before I report you.
The reply was surprisingly fast. Oh my god syd it actually is me. I let richie make me a profile so that he would shut up.
I didn’t know what the protocol was
For if you see someone you know.
Is this weird?Yes.
No. I mean, I matched you because I thought you were a weirdly specific catfish though.

Summary
Although Astarion is backlit, Gale swears his eyes sparkle.
“You’re not the only one with a ravenous appetite, you know.”
The humbled bob of Gale’s throat must be obvious. It feels obvious.
“Appetite?” he echoes quietly.

Summary
"I think I might have given you the wrong impression," Wyll said, smile sheepish, "I don't, ah, expect you to do anything in return. For me."
There was silence again for a long, awkward moment. For once Astarion was glad to be dead, at least there would be no visible sign of humiliation on his face. All his life he'd been told he was good for one thing only, but the past few tendays had made it abundantly clear that maybe he wasn't good for even that much. He should be relieved that Wyll didn't want to fuck him, but instead he felt only a vertiginous uncertainty.

Summary
In the aftermath of a humiliating public scandal, Astarion Ancunín — a washed-up, strung-out, hot mess of a musician — takes a temporary sojourn away from the public eye. While lying low, he hires a new personal assistant by the name of Wyll Ravengard: charming, handsome, and perhaps not all he seems.

Summary
He chooses an undergrad English course, American Poetry Through the 19th and 21st Centuries. The combined English and History building was a short walk to the library, the class met on Tuesday and Thursday after his regular shifts, reading poetry was a walk in the park compared to the law textbooks he usually skimmed through to study for the bar, and when he plugged “Wyll Ravengard,” into RateMyProfessor he had an overall 4.7 out of 5 rating next to a flaming chili pepper.
-
Astarion needs to take a class to keep his enrollment status until next quarter. Wyll happens to teach that class.

Summary
These days, most everybody in camp had learned to wave away Astarion’s advances with a laugh. They found the flirtation titillating, Gale figured, or a bit threatening, or some combination of the two. He wondered if anybody else found it sad.

Summary
Astarion still leans over you, his posture lithe, lazy, relaxed. But there’s a slight rigidness to him that indicates impatience. It’s strange, you think to yourself, that even after 200 years of practice he still can’t hide his thirst. Underneath that easy smile and perfect poise, there it lies, an aching cavity in the pit of his stomach that can never be truly filled.
-
You spend the night after freeing your lovely, but extremely vulnerable tiefling compatriots, perched over the Last Light Inn bar. But while you may be able to satiate your hunger with a mug of mead and bowl of stew, your companion, Astarion, can not. So you offer your neck as a favor to your favorite porcelain skinned elf. That's just what friends do, right?Bookmarked by sumptuous

Summary
“Oh,” Astarion breathes, eyes drooping into glassy little crescents. Well, if this is how he dies, Astarion thinks, this is how he dies. A shame that he’ll never get to plunge a stake through Cazador’s chest. “Death is so beautiful.”
“...Precisely how much of this spider’s blood did you consume?” Gale asks, his hands brushing Astarion’s hair off his soaked forehead. The touch makes the unbearable, painful heat in his body squeeze around him like a heavy chain. “You’re scorching. You could give Karlach a run for all her gold.”

Summary
Tav said no and that meant there weren't many other options.
It was a process of elimination, nothing more. Lae'zel would sleep with him him, but it wouldn't tie her to him in the way he needed it to. Gale was too weak to protect him and Shadowheart would see through his deceptions too easily. Karlach, dear stupid Karlach, would have been perfect. She was strong enough to shield him and desperate for every scrap of affection. If it hadn't been for those flames-
So it was Wyll. It had to be Wyll.
Hells.

In which Astarion figures that what heroes really want is someone to save. And then assumes he can't possibly develop any feelings for a sweet, sincere hero who wants to do just that.

He’d had her taste on his tongue, between her legs, from her pulse, her lips—but all Astarion could think about was the unvarnished way she’d hugged him, as if she could hold him together all on her own, as if that might be enough.

Tav's visit to Avernus was supposed to last a few hours, no more. A full week later, she's finally made her way home, and not even the extraordinary, magical gift she brings with her is enough to make Astarion less blazingly furious.

“Look.” Laszlo swung the pendulum at a steady pace. Guillermo’s eyes followed, the whites waxing and waning slivers of moon around the focused iris. “Upon my orders, you will close your eyes, and you will open your mind to me. Now, close your eyes. You are now standing in a long, dark hallway-“
“No, I’m not,” Guillermo interrupted.
“Well, put yourself in one.”
Laszlo offers to help Guillermo investigate the root of his sexual neuroses, with the help of hypnosis. Set during season 4.

Summary
“Would you rather be an android, Lyla?”
“I don’t believe I have a choice in the matter.”
“Well... if you really want to try it, I could see if Xina is willing to help work something out.” Strolling around, Lyla follows Miguel like a ghost. “What brought this on?”
“Going on errands together seemed… nice.”
“I do take you out with me sometimes, you know. You aren’t restrained within the apartment. If you want to go out more, we’ll go out more. The problem is Miguel doesn’t go out unless it’s work or it’s the S-Man, and I can't have you giving away his identity. Next time I go see Xina, I’ll bring you along. How’s that sound?”
“That’d be nice, Miguel," she claps her hands together and smiles. "I’m looking forward to it.” With that, she disappears from his side and Miguel pinches the bridge of his nose, knowing he’ll have to go visit his ex-girlfriend for an artificial intelligence play date.
