Summary
Against the dim glow of the fire, Wyll shines. His skin, his horns. The soft gaze he has affixed to Astarion. And he’s handsome— as always. Like a prince from a dream long forgotten.
In the dream, Astarion can separate want from fear. In the dream, Wyll puts his night in Astarion’s hands. In the dream, all Astarion does is hold on.

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.

Summary
The man was filthy. The beds of his nails were blackened with dirt. His pale hair was greasy and limp, his lips were dry and cracked, and his face was incredibly gaunt. He wore threadbare boxers and a tank top that hung loosely from his pallid and skeletal chest, and his feet were bare, the soles brown from walking on the street. He sat with Wyll's scratchy blanket clutched around his shoulders with one hand, and with the other he pressed the blade of a paring knife to Wyll's throat.
And so Wyll kept his eyes trained dutifully on the road.
Wyll goes for a late night drive to clear his head. Astarion needs to get as far away as possible — fast.

Summary
The tea is hot and fragrant. The smell is only stronger now, with Kris’ eyes closed. It’s something floral and sweet, lumps of sugar dissolving into a syrupy cloud at the bottom. It reminds Kris of a tea their dad used to make. They grit their teeth. Their lips are chapped, mouth dry. They don’t take a sip. Even if they hadn’t been commanded, they’re not sure they would be able to muster the will to drink. Here they are, having a tea party when their friends don’t— When Noelle—
The old man takes the hint. “Well, if tea’s not your fancy, how about an apple?”

The seed, the sprout, and the bitter end.
