How to Sell Your Soul Completely by Machine Elf (July)

Summary
This spawn — starved, abused, and whored out by his master had a lifetime of bitterness and resentment pent up inside. His humanity had been stripped, beaten out of him by every reminder that he was owned for eternity. He was a beast but unable to let the beast out and gorge on the blood of the innocent. There had to be anger underneath this veneer of charm, a need for revenge. He would not be a sacrifice for Bhaal tonight — he would be His next acolyte.
Bhaal’s Chosen stalks the night for a victim and finds a vampire spawn looking for the same. As they get acquainted, he finds Astarion too tragic to kill and instead turns his daggers on his master. He sees potential in the abused spawn, however, and takes him under his wing to mould into his perfect killer.
Astarion suddenly finds himself liberated by an even deadlier monster than Cazador. Will this crazed fanatic be his salvation? Or is he merely trading one bondage for another? And everything changes once he catches the attention of the Dead Three…

In the Imperium’s weakened and decaying state, Fenris will lead the revolution and bring down the oppressive mageocracy that has ruled for centuries. With Hawke — who can now transform into a dragon — at his side, they pledge to rebuild a new and free Tevinter.

Summary
His freedom seemed all too good to be true. His allies, albeit with their own quirks and damages, were the only allies he’d ever had. Now one of them was desecrating a corpse in the woods.
And by the way he’s looking at you, boy, I’d say you’re next.
--
Days after his abduction and meeting his new allies, Astarion catches Tav in the middle of performing a gruesome slaughter. When Tav offers the starving vampire some fresh blood in exchange for keeping this quiet, a new alliance forms. Over time, they discover how deep their similarities go, and how much they need each other to be free from the shackles of the monsters that bind them.

Astarion responded with an amused chuckle he’d rehearsed a million times. “Thank you, but I’ll pass. Now take that off.”

Summary
She was a woman of sharp wit, intense emotions, and an ability to hold her liquor that could not be possible.
