    Summary

    ~ The truth was numbing in its simplicity: there was no escape; there was no hope. He had no choice, no life, no reprieve. An eternity of suffering was to be his fate. Astarion shuddered and sobbed without tears.

    He couldn’t do this. But it didn’t matter.

    He didn’t have a choice. ~

     

    A collection of ficlets/drabbles following Astarion's journey from ambitious young magistrate, to unfortunate vampire spawn and beyond to his journeys with Tav, exploring how his view on touch, choice and intimacy evolve over time.
