Summary
There’s a slight twitch to Wyll’s expression, as if he wants to say something but refrains with a soft snort, “You needn’t thank me, but I will accept it. I don’t exactly have a habit of letting my friends careen to their deaths if I can help it, you know.”
Astarion raises a brow, “Friends, are we?” He says, and what he means to be derisive sounds curious—sounds hesitant and genuine. He would swallow his own tongue, if he could.
Wyll smiles, his thumb brushing over the puncture wounds on his wrist, almost reverently, “I would say so, yes. However unlikely it might have seemed at first.”
Astarion looks away for a long moment, his jaw working as he swallows. He’s never had a friend before, none that he remembers, at least. And how pathetic does that sound?
(Or, Astarion’s life means something to someone other than just himself.)

Summary
“Astarion?” The voice is deep and soft, familiar in its warmth. Astarion’s head tilts towards the sound of it, slowly making out the features of a kind face, chestnut hair brushing over broad shoulders.
Astarion’s jaw works, his tongue pressing at the back of his teeth, his entire head aching. “Halsin?” He croaks, the melodic lilt of his voice sounding like the scratch of a sickly beast. His throat feels as if he had swallowed glass, and then he had been kicked in the esophagus for good measure.
(Or, Astarion grows sick. Halsin takes care of him.)

Summary
He screams, unholy and pitched and ripped from him like something desperate. He beats against the stone though he knows it will do nothing but hurt him, his head already fuzzy from the pain, blood coated behind his teeth and tangled in his curls. He might even cause the rock to crush him, should he wriggle any further.
Perhaps it’d be merciful enough to kill him. It would be preferable to being stuck here in the invasive quiet and the dark, helpless and unable to fight his way out.
A year of silence—he could not bear to do it again.
(Or, Astarion is trapped beneath rubble. Gale comes to his rescue.)

Summary
“Do you plan to fuck me tonight? Or am I to be forced to wait till morning?” He mutters, like acid on his tongue, lips curled up in annoyance. Astarion doesn’t quite know why he’s rushing him. He really does rather like the feeling of just Halsin’s lips brushing over his nape. It’s a soft, pleasant sensation, a firm kiss being pressed into his shoulder. The gentle warmth of it is enough to make Astarion shudder.
Perhaps that is the problem, after all—the point of this has certainly never been about Astarion’s enjoyment.
(Or, Halsin notices Astarion slipping away during an intimate moment.)

Summary
“Really, darling, I’m just fine—” His eyes squeeze shut over a sudden wave of nausea, his gut roiling dangerously, bracing himself against the counter. He carefully counts the measure of his breathing, even if it is unneeded.
“Astarion?” Wyll says with concern, his hand immediately resting gently between his quivering shoulders, “What’s wrong?”
He shakes his head, blinking past the dots that dance across his vision, “Nothing. Just—just might have had a bit too much to drink, I think.” He rubs over his nose bridge, trying to ease away the pulsing ache in his head.
(Or, Astarion is drugged in a tavern.)

Summary
“Did you have a bad dream?” Casmir asks suddenly, looking up at Astarion with eyes like dripping honey, glassy with something Astarion can’t name.
Astarion repositions himself over the log they’re both perched upon, shifting with a sudden uneasiness, “I don’t sleep. You know this.”
“But you still—dream, to some extent. Relive memories when you trance.”
Astarion does, as much as he wishes that he wouldn’t.
(Or, Astarion’s tadpole unexpectedly shares a bad memory with Casmir.)

Summary
He cannot hear, and he cannot see.
He’s breathless with panic, a vibrant ache in his chest as he scrambles for the dagger on his thigh. His shaky fingers close around the handle of it, nothing but muscle memory—but with neither sight nor hearing, it would do him little good. Armed or not, he was an impossibly easy target.
(Or, Astarion temporarily goes blind and deaf. It’s not fun.)

Summary
Karlach smiles at him as the sun begins to set, her eyes softening around the corners, a nervous look flickering over her features. And Astarion is already expecting what comes next, but it still feels like shards of ice blooming behind his ribs.
“Do you think I can sleep in your tent tonight? Now that I can’t hurt you or set the damn thing on fire.” She asks with a breathy chuckle, an uncharacteristic anxiety making her shift on her feet, her bottom lip caught under her teeth. He has no disillusions on what her words could mean. She’s not likely looking to do much sleeping when she is free to touch him now.
(Or, Karlach can freely touch the people she loves now. Astarion makes a few wrong assumptions.)
