    Summary

    “How old are you, Astarion?”

    Astarion is not expecting the question, Halsin can tell by the way he jerks upright, spine straight, shoulders strong.

    “Two-hundred-and-forty,” he answers without hesitation. “Give or take a few years.”

    Halsin swallows, rewords his question. “How old were you when you were turned?”

    Astarion goes quiet. Extremely, cacophonously quiet.

    “Thirty-nine,” he finally says, a bolt straight into Halsin’s heart.

    -

    Halsin discovers Astarion was turned before his maturity and all the sacred elven rites that come along with it. Including the sex one.

    Summary

    When Astarion awakens in the aftermath of the Nautiloid crash, it is not to a friendly face but the press of goblin steel against his cheek.

    Now a captive of the Absolute, he is left starving and huddled in the corner, waiting for the beast that shares his cell to finally strike.

    Bears, after all, are not known to be the most gracious killers.

    Summary

    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.
