Summary
Staeve longed to press his lips to the nape of his neck just above the collar of his shirt, and trace the line of his spine with his mouth. A kiss for each bony bump, each administered with loving attention, until Astarion melted with pleasure under his care— but that recipe of intimacy didn’t exist anymore. Maybe it never did.

Summary
The hand on his shoulder was nothing like his master’s. It was gentle, and warm (the kindest touch he could remember on this side of a century, even through the layers of leather and armour—) but had Astarion’s heart still been beating, it would have leapt right out of his throat.
“Don’t touch me,” he snapped, a choked gasp.

Summary
“Babe,” he called out to Astarion, who was going around the house drawing the black-out curtains on all the windows before the sun could get in. “Am I tripping?”
“You’re going to have to be a little more specific than that, darling,” Astarion replied from the other room. “Tripping about what?”
A shirt is more than a shirt sometimes.

Summary
Astarion was speechless for an instant. How Staeve could say that sort of thing and mean it, with so much ease, was still beyond him. “Flatterer,” he accused him, biting down on the emotion threatening to overwhelm him.
“Does it count as flattery, if it’s the truth?”

Summary
“Don’t get me wrong, the festivities themselves sound thrilling,” Astarion said, quickly. “The chance of wandering around all night without suspicion, wearing fancy and dramatic outfits, pick-pocketing with no consequence… what’s not to love, especially for a vampire and a rogue like yours truly?” He exaggerated the sing-song in his voice to amuse Staeve, and he was rewarded by a small, charmed smile. He cleared his throat before continuing, a sudden tightness strangling him. “I just have—poor memories of the Night itself.”

Summary
It occurred to Astarion that Amar had put a lot more thought into this. A quiet place, a different environment from what Astarion was used to—something that he could not associate to his life, but he could associate to their shenanigans, to their new adventures. To Amar, rather than to— before.
Astarion struggles with dealing with the aftermath of the fight. Amar knows him well.

Summary
But the rest of him was buried, buried, buried, the unshakeable fear of a recurring nightmare, of having been once again left to starve for twelve moons, curled on one side in the unfeeling embrace of marble, death and ancient mould his only companions.

Summary
His back hurt. It wasn't the pain of flayed skin. It wasn't the pain of carved flesh. It wasn't the pain of acid pours. It wasn't the pain of sunlight burns. He ached, but his bones weren't creaking with hidden cracks. He ached.

Summary
“Excuse me,” Vesta whispered, gathering all the courage he had. “Do you need help?”
The stranger hadn’t heard him approach. He started badly, his body twitching upright, flattening against the wall like a cornered animal. His eyes were a brilliant, unreal red, the only spot of real colour almost glowing in the grey-scale darkness surrounding them.
what if staeve and astarion met earlier than the tadpole? let's say much earlier.

Summary
“I can bleed some into a cup, if it makes you more comfortable,” Elior said, misunderstanding Astarion’s silence.
“That would be a waste of perfectly good blood.” Astarion’s mouth felt both dry as bone, and drenched with drool, like a beast getting ready to tear into its prey. “I will gladly bite you."

Summary
“Anthill,” Staeve repeated, “starts with an A. Say something that starts with B, now.”
She tilted her head at him. “Why.”
“It’s a game.” It suddenly seemed a stupid idea, but when did that ever stop him? “I say anthill, what says you?”
Olga stared him down for a moment, and then in a flat voice she said, “Bollocks.”
Staeve, Olga and Kori play a game to fight boredom and get to know each other a little better.

Summary
“You’re such a cat,” Staeve teased Astarion, poking his nose. “You’ll make Slippers jealous.”
“She can deal,” Astarion sniffled, mock-offended. “She did steal my spot, after all.”
Staeve chuckled, and they both glanced down at the kitten curled up on his lap, her nose ridiculously and adorably tucked under her paw. “Don’t be mad at her, she’s very small and her life is very hard,” he cooed, scritching the fur between her ears with a careful fingernail.
“I’m not mad, I’m jealous.”

Summary
While Staeve watched her, Hébée pulled her shirt over her head and let it drop to the side. His flush deepened and his grin widened, his eyes wandered down her chest and the rest of her.
“Do you like what you see?” she purred. She was already wearing her cock, and she knew she looked good. She grabbed it at the base and showed it off a little. “Are you ready for me?”
“I am always ready,” he boasted. “Especially for this.”
Hébée and Staeve have a fun night together.

Summary
“More alcohol? Aren’t we drunk enough?” Astaria laughed [...]
“Speak for yourself, lightweight,” Staevia sniffled at her, affronted. “I’m prefectly—” Nope. “Preferably—” Nope. “…Very sober.” Good enough.
Astaria just laughed harder. She tried to stifle her giggling with one hand, and to swat Staevia with the other. She missed by about a mile. Staevia also exploded in a fit of snickering. Gods, she was in love with her. “Alright, maybe I am a li’l drunk.”

It was a simple thing. A little bit of thread stitched in a bit of fabric. He didn’t know why, but unspeakable emotions bubbled in his chest, squeezed his ribs.

Wondering what else he had missed.

“I didn’t know you could sing,” Staeve mumbled.

“Yes. I wore them,” Astarion enunciated, slowly. “I cleaned them. I’m giving them back.” From his tone, it was clear that he suspected that Staeve was either too stupid or too intoxicated to understand what he was saying.
