Summary
From the moment your soulmate comes into the world, your hearts beat in sync. You would never know the difference between your heartbeat and theirs unless an irregularity occurred in one.
When Astarion learns of this, he can’t contain his giddiness at the fact that there is someone out there perfect for him and in turn, he is someone else’s perfect. When he reaches of age – at least by human standards – he is finally taken to a Soul Matcher—someone magically gifted to trace the connection between souls.
“I don’t detect another soul.”
Astarion’s heart drops but he’s told that this happens sometimes. His soulmate may not exist yet. He should check back in another year or so.
Astarion continues to do this for 19 years, his hope dwindling more so each time.
“I feel nothing. Perhaps you should-”
At 37, Astarion leaves before the Soul Matcher can finish his words and empty reassurances. At 37, Astarion dies and so does his belief that there is someone out there for everyone. He believes this for the next 161 years.
And then he wakes up with a heartbeat that cannot be his, for he is undead and his heart stopped beating long ago.Bookmarked by SugarFlare

Summary
The others have their own sordid pasts, to be sure, but it's different for Astarion. Being a monster is one thing. Being a monstrous, pathetic, conniving, little whore is entirely another.
There’s no cure for being owned by Cazador Szarr. There’s no fixing what Astarion is. He'd have to be crazy to believe otherwise.

Summary
“Hey, Scott, so, I uh, there’s this amazingly hot guy and I’m uh, gonna spend the weekend with him but, you know, just to be careful, I’m sending you his picture, so if by some terrible chance my bloated corpse shows up sometime Monday, just, y’know pass this along to the authorities.” He pauses. “Uh. Kidding?” and then hangs up with a rush of air.
“That is the worst voicemail in the history of voicemails,” Derek says.

Summary
A wolf howled, long and mournful. Stiles looked around, his breath coming in visible puffs on the frosty air as he searched for fur and fangs and sad eyes, but he saw only the swaying green limbs of evergreen trees in the wind. Snow started to fall and he looked up at the white sky, blinking, before he fell backwards to land softly on a familiar bed. He blinked again and the soft white of the sky solidified into his bedroom ceiling with its neon green glow in the dark stars. He watched as a nebula formed in the space between his outstretched hand and the plastic stars, mesmerized as it roiled and burned in fast forward to birth a star, a real one, right into his bedroom. The star burned white hot against his skin, so bright and painful that his nerves couldn’t compute. He twisted away desperately, crying out. A dark skinned man in the corner watched calmly as he writhed and said, “We begin in the dark, and birth is the death of us.” Stiles screamed as the fire sunk into his skin, his soul, and fell once more into the darkness.
//
Stiles ends up in 2004, before the Hale fire, and learns a lot about himself, life, and what it means to hold onto what you love and not let go.
