Summary
Strix really likes doing things outside. And while Justice Astarion Ancunín may not be much of an outdoors person, historically, he really likes Strix. So, two months into the ongoing liaison that began with a jury summons, he agrees to let her take him on an overnight backpacking trip.
Miles are bagged. Elevation is gained. Astarion generously, and judiciously blesses us all with anecdotes (and gossip) from his work life, while Strix bestows a few bird facts, among other things.
Of course, it should go without saying (if you're at all familiar with my oeuvre) that this wholesome excursion features a few horny shenanigans and a blood-sucking incident or two. But also: heart-to-hearts, bonding, Baudelairon, and perhaps even a tiny bit of backstory...

Meditation is not sleep, and reverie is not quite dreaming. Fever can shunt humans into a horrible half-sleep. Elves, instead, get one foot caught in memory.
Memory can be unkind.

Summary
Astarion stares down his nose with that familiar haughty glare. “I suppose that makes us even, now.”
You search his face, trying to find the missing piece that will make the puzzle take shape. You think of what little he’s told you about his life before this strange journey of yours. A cruel master that delighted in his pain and two hundred years of being brought to heel.
It comes to you in a dizzying rush. “You think I left you there as punishment.”
Astarion accidentally, kinda-sorta drains your blood and leaves you for dead. Three weeks later, you drop a monastery on him. You refuse to let the story end there.

A year after their adventuring party officially disbanded to enjoy their fame and immense wealth to the full, tiefling wizard Rosalie (reluctantly) asks Astarion for some help with a large, fake-date, ex-girlfriend sized problem.

Summary
“I’ve been thinking, darling. About us, naturally.” Astarion starts, his pale fingers playing along the inner side of Casmir’s wrist, turning so that their eyes can meet.
“Yes?” They prompt with a soft and easy smile when Astarion is silent for several moments.
“Well—” Astarion sucks in a quiet breath, looking down for just a moment before his head jerks back up, “I want you to hurt me.”
(Or, Astarion has a request. Casmir obliges.)

Summary
'Blood whirled, thumping through weak eyelids, light and white and red, swimming into focus, and Link coughed weakly. The face above him floated, blurry and strange, wreathed in sunshine and water droplets, fiercely set in shadowed crimson and silver. Sharp teeth and sharper eyes.'
Link wants nothing to do with Calamity Ganon until a strange creature finds him on the riverbank, and an unlikely relationship is formed. When the rest of Link's life feels like he's drowning, this Red River Ghost is a break for air.

Summary
I am too damn cold for this shit, Link thought. He stared down from the rock outcrop where he was perched. The sky was a pale gray, threatening rain or sleet if the temperature dropped any further. He could already feel icy flecks of spray misting down on him. He was out in the middle of nowhere in a desolate rocky barren canyon. A place so foreboding that even the birds looked miserable and they were the only animals he'd seen in days. He should have been alone out here.
He wasn't.- Language:

Summary
"What?" comes the whisper, dragged out of him, dripping with every exhilarating, stifling, annoying, soft, safe, rescue, hope moment that they have ever spent together.
"He loves you," it says, splaying one palm over the other atop his heart, face mimicking sincere, "to a ludicrous extent, really. Do you know how many picturesque images of you and he together I had to shove out of the way just to get to where I am now? It was pitiful." It presses forward, slow, and Derek inhales sharply, acutely aware that if he hurts this thing, he'll hurt Stiles.
He doesn't even need to question that claim, that this is possession instead of shape-shifting, magic, or illusions. It's residing within a body, surrounded by a scent, that Derek has mapped extensively, memorized, traced and retraced over and over again, secretly, devotedly, he knows Stiles better, he's sure, than he knows himself. And he's never even touched him.
"He doesn't love me," he mourns, assured, his back foot shifting from toes to flat as he pulls away, crouch-crawl, wary eyes latched, desperate.
"I could show you," Not-Stiles purrs, "don't you want to see? Don't you want to know?"
