Summary
Astarion let out a shaky breath, his head still cradled in Wyll’s lap. He focused on the heat from Wyll’s thigh beneath his cheek, anchoring him to the present. To this moment. Not the past. Not the kennels. Not the cold hands that had once gripped him.
“I was only ever made to do it when it pleased him,” he whispered, the confession slipping out like blood from a reopened wound. “Or when it could lure someone in. Or when it was expected. It never felt like it was mine.”
Wyll leaned down slowly, pressing a kiss to Astarion’s forehead, soft and sure. “Then maybe… don’t think about the past. Don’t think about him. Think of something nice.”

Summary
Stunning views. Luxurious accommodations. No neighbors to complain about the noise.
Two years into their life as monster hunters, Wyll and Astarion take a much-needed vacation in the recently-vacated mountaintop lair of the lich they just (re-)killed. They also steal all of his stuff and do an elaborate sexual roleplay in his (un-)living room to work out some of their Issues.
It’s kind of sort of like therapy, except with the other kind of CBT.

Summary
Kiss is a stupid word. It doesn’t have the brutal efficiency of fuck. If you say that you have recently fucked, everyone knows what that means. Kiss, on the other hand, implies some… saccharine, disgusting little fantasy. It’s a word that conjures pictures of twee pecks on the cheek, platonic gestures of affection. It is a word that belongs to the same euphemistic category as sleeping together, as (ugh) making love. It is a word that lacks hunger, physicality, consummation.
It is not an inaccurate description of what he and Wyll do in Wyll’s tent.
Astarion discovers that some things are easier said (or involuntarily shared via an illithid parasite's psychic connection) than done.

Summary
Hallucinations come a little more naturally to elves than other races. The vapor-thin veil between the reverie of trance and stark reality takes so little effort to pierce. An elf dreams through their memories without ever truly sleeping; thus, dreams do not always wait for consciousness to exit before stepping onto the stage. At least, that's how Astarion sees it. He's never had his assumptions checked by a second opinion.
Astarion, at Tav's request, eats something that doesn't agree with him. This has unexpected consequences.

Summary
“I figure there’s really only one plausible reason a man with designs of being the most powerful man in the city would not properly marry his wife.”
“Enlighten me then. Since you know so much about my marriage.”
“He is ashamed of what he is.” Raphael’s tone was casual, but Astarion felt some thin veil of safety slip to the floor. “Or should I say, he is ashamed of what you made him?”
“I’m sure I don’t know what you mean.” Astarion drained his glass. His mouth felt dry; the wine didn’t help.
----Dressing up and pretending to be Cazador's wife isn't a particularly good or honest life, but at least it gave Astarion the freedom to explore his fascination with men. When a handsome stranger with dangerous connections shows up at The Crimson Palace on a night when Cazador's away on business, Astarion realizes his charade might be more of a cage than a release.

Summary
She makes him feel safe. Seen. And gods damn it, she reminds him he’s allowed to like things when it comes to sex. To desire things.
To ask for things.
And that’s how he finds himself in the middle of their bedroom, staring into an oakwood box at the sex toy he’s still surprised he actually bought.
*******
Or, the one in which Jenaeva (my tav) pegs him.

Summary
Astarion returns and Cazador remembers.
His pillow hears it all and Vellioth doesn’t, he hopes. Maybe this would be the only acceptable prayer, provided he continues to worship at Vellioth’s feet, sleep at the foot of Vellioth’s bed, and try to win some scrap of favor from the Martinet.
He is up before Vellioth and Vellioth is up before the rest of the house. The buttons of Vellioth’s doublet are familiar under his hands. He counts each one as he fastens it, finishing with the button at the top. The collar just covers Vellioth’s own two pin prick scars.
“Do not slouch, boy.”
Cazador tries to straighten. His spine feels pulled taught already, ramrod straight and frozen, a startled deer under Vellioth’s gaze. He tries to stretch it further, towards the heavens he will never reach.
Vellioth does not seem satisfied.

What lingered in his mind were her eyes.
Pale, gleeful, high on the kill. Eagerly searching his face for cracks in his unflappable facade.

Summary
This was different from the absence before. That emptiness had felt like a cold, cruel mist, that sapped the strength from his bones and wove despair into his skin. This was…not an emptiness at all, but the absence of the cacophony of mind that threatened to suffocate him. Instead, a subtle pleasure filled every crack, every wound in his soul.
Rolan and Durge have some fun.
