    Summary

    PSST, I know this work is I N C R E D I B L Y L O N G, but I promise if you like angst, comfort, healing arcs and slow-burns, it's worth dipping your toes in. For the same story broken into three shorter stories which stack, try Rats to Radiance

    Astarion's swirling thoughts were interrupted abruptly as they passed through a gate; they had moved into a shadier part of the market and his escort's grip had tightened less-than-protectively on his arm. Shit.

    “I think your master would be very interested in knowing where his favorite slave is.”

    Tav / Asterion slow burn, consent-focused. Starts ch 15.
    Halsin / Astarion slow burn, healing focused.
    Gale / Astarion platonic slow burn. Content starting ch.28
