Summary
The man was filthy. The beds of his nails were blackened with dirt. His pale hair was greasy and limp, his lips were dry and cracked, and his face was incredibly gaunt. He wore threadbare boxers and a tank top that hung loosely from his pallid and skeletal chest, and his feet were bare, the soles brown from walking on the street. He sat with Wyll's scratchy blanket clutched around his shoulders with one hand, and with the other he pressed the blade of a paring knife to Wyll's throat.
And so Wyll kept his eyes trained dutifully on the road.
Wyll goes for a late night drive to clear his head. Astarion needs to get as far away as possible — fast.

Summary
Astarion tapped his finger against the side of his camera and frowned.
“Karlach,” he said, reaching for the iced Americano on the folding table beside him, “remind me again why I agreed to do this?”
“Because you love and care about our local fire department?”
Astarion scoffed. “Try again.”Astarion, disgruntled local photographer, agrees to take photos for the volunteer fire department's fundraising calendar. Wyll, local volunteer firefighter with a heart of gold, poses for the camera.

Summary
Wyll was a big boy. He’d handled aches and pains and cycles for years before he began his transition, and he could surely handle it again for as long as he had to. He could power through the cramps, he could handle swapping out his rag, he could weather his back aching through the whole process.
Even if he really, really didn’t want to.
---
One particularly cruel side effect of Mizora turning Wyll into a devil is a resurgence of his menstrual cycle — except now it's got the torture of the hells behind it. Or: Wyll has a period again and is not dealing with it well, Mizora is being very evil about it, and Astarion is... Astarion.

Summary
“You know,” Halsin said, “it takes an honorable man to admit when he has done wrong.”
“Indeed,” Ulder swirled the wine in his glass. He smiled, distantly. It didn’t quite reach his eyes. “And it takes a dishonorable man to cast his son away in his time of need.”
Halsin turned to look at Ulder. “You strike me as a man who carries an immense amount of guilt.”
Ulder snorted. “And you strike me as a man with little grasp on the rituals of polite society.”
Halsin laughed. “Be it so."
---
Standing alone in the back of Wyll's wedding, Ulder contemplates the nature of fatherhood, who his son has become, and the thick hunk of an elf Wyll calls his friend.

Summary
Astarion wanted to make Wyll's heart beat. He wanted to make his lungs work. He wanted to be the reason sweat pooled in the cleft of his pectorals, the reason his hands trembled, the reason his voice caught in his throat. He wanted to bring him close again and again, to make him see stars behind his eyelid, to hear him say I need you, I need you, Astarion, I love you over and over and over.
He wanted to ruin him. By the Gods, he wanted to ruin him.

Summary
“I can’t always come first to him, Astarion,” Wyll said. “He’s a state senator. He has more important things to worry about sometimes. I understand that.”
“Well, I don’t," Astarion said. “I don’t understand it, and I certainly don’t have anything more important to worry about. I’m glad you have him in your life again — really, I am, even if he’s driving me even grayer than I already am — but it’s so new. You already let him treat you worse than you deserve to keep him around. How much worse is it going to be at a wedding?”
Only eight months after ending their estrangement, Wyll receives an invitation to his father's wedding and attends with his partner, Astarion. A fragile relationship, two important people at odds, and the peaceful, zero-stress environment of a wedding - what could go wrong?

Summary
It had all started with Shadowheart. She'd spoken so highly of them—of strong hands and careful control, of teasing that unmade her in the best ways, of dominance that had her always feeling protected and safe.
And obviously that had piqued Astarion's curiosity.Karlach and Minthara show Astarion a good time.

Summary
Wyll Ravengard is the heir of Baldur's Gate, the son of the Grand Duke—but such a title cannot protect everyone. Astarion is still refusing to speak of who broke his ribs and owns him as a courtesan, other than a single mention of Enver Gortash. Wyll has sworn to save him, and to do so, he must brave the political world of Baldur's Gate and an evil budding beneath the city he loves.

Summary
It goes something like this: Astarion wakes up flat in the dirt, hands tied behind his back, bleeding. His head aches.
Wyll stands over him, uncharacteristically scared. "Astarion," he says, fast and frantic. "Are you back to yourself?"
There are two puncture wounds on his neck.
(It goes something like this: Astarion wakes up. The party says he attacked them. He does not remember this.)
