Summary
“Sleep.”
But Tav’s not falling asleep. He’s thinking now. Thinking about the way Astarion appeared in his dream—those lantern eyes, the sharp angles of him. It can’t be how Astarion would choose to appear.
Tav’s throat clenches. No, Astarion didn’t choose anything. He appeared in Tav’s dream exactly as he is, beneath the porcelain skin and the perfect hair and the tempting smirk. Exactly the way he must feel. Constantly.
Tav’s brush with death left him marked, in more ways than one. Astarion tries to work out what’s different about him. Act 1 transitioning into Act 2. Astarion x m!Tav.

Summary
“Oh, don’t keep us in suspense.”
Astarion stops on the other side of the plinth and stares at Tav—or maybe at the mace, Tav can’t tell. But he sees familiar hunger in those red eyes: the same hunger he saw when Astarion asked him for that necromantic grimoire.
“Take it and see what happens. I’m dying to find out.”
That’s more than good enough for Tav.
A careless mistake in the githyanki creche has Tav staring certain death in the face. It comes as somewhat of a relief. Late Act 1. Astarion x m!Tav.

Summary
Tav can’t break free. He’s not strong enough. His mind is dulled, dim and insubstantial as shadow from all this time spent choking on the blood he’s spilled. Nere knew that somehow. He knew Tav was weaker than anyone else on the battlefield.
But Astarion can equal him. Astarion can save him.
Astarion can end him.
Tav gets dominated, and not in the way he likes. Late Act 1. Astarion x m!Tav.

Summary
“Why should I?” Astarion taps the side of his head, smiling dangerously. “I don’t need an invitation anymore. A gift, from one benevolent parasite to another.”
He isn’t looking at Tav with benevolence. No. The mask—or at least, one of the thousands Astarion wears at any given moment—is shed at last.
He looks famished.
For the first time in their entire acquaintance, Tav’s a little worried Astarion actually means to kill him.
Astarion is the favorite, the one with hooks deeper in Tav than all the rest, and he won’t stop until everyone knows it. For Tav, head over heels in unrequited love, this amounts to nothing less than the purest torture.
Late Act 1, set after the battle for the Emerald Grove. Astarion x m!Tav.

Summary
It’s a little miraculous, Tav thinks, that those wrinkles could survive undeath and two centuries without much occasion for genuine laughter. But Astarion is nothing so much as he is a collection of small miracles.
The wine makes it harder to deny and, mercifully, easier to face: Tav’s in love. Giddy, stupid love. The kind Astarion could crush in one fist without batting an eyelash.
Which is exactly what he’ll do if he ever finds out.
Tav’s never been good at keeping promises, but for Astarion, he wants to be a better man. One of them should try, at least. Late Act 1, set before, during, and just after the battle for the Emerald Grove. Astarion x m!Tav.
