Summary
Astarion keeps a ledger in the private corners of his mind: good deeds on one side, bad on the other. Saving the world goes on the good side. Dooming seven thousand to the Hells—well, that goes on the bad. And as for keeping his old master caged and collared and purring at his feet... he's still figuring out where that one lands.

The boy wants forgiveness. Cazador has something far worse to give.

What begins as snarky commiseration escalates into an encounter that leaves Astarion debased and satisfied, and maybe a bit smug about being chosen after all.
