    Summary

    Just as the dreaded and terrible High lord of the Dunlendings, his General and their hostage, Hamà, second son of Helm Hammerhand, ride to the door of Hornburg, the Rohan King dies of his wounds. Just as Wulf raises his knife to execute the boy, someone else stops him.

    It is not pity that stayed Targg’s hand. It is not pity either that makes him take the boy in. But even he can recognize the madness rotting slowly behind his Lord’s eyes; even he knows that washing blood with blood only breeds red.

    Summary

    There is a child in Szarr's Manor, dressed in ruffles and frills, red cheeks framed by black curls dark as burned ink, and eyeless. When he smiles, Astarion thinks he looks just like his father. "To whom are you begging, if there is no one to hear you ?", the boy asks him, and receives no answer.

    ***

    There is little to do for a shrivelled womb, not for a spawn nor a master. Of course, this doesn't mean flowers can't bloom in a barren land; only, this one may grow out already dead.

    Summary

    Astarion is thirty-nine years old when he dies in a cold alley, the moon a bright and lonely thing over him. He emerges from a coffin shivering and weak, born anew, he emerges and he kneels.

    He’s forty-two when his sire and master takes a needle to his back in the making of a terrible, terrible thing that lasted an entire night, too weary to even cry.

    He’s sixty-eight when Cazador seals him shut in a coffin of his own making, and someone else digs him up, hands glowing with a terrifying magic.

    Or

    Someone gifted Raphael a pretty little thing, sickly and pale as pure snow. It’s delicate and empty-eyed, sweet as a doll. It bears a contract in the name of his father.

    Summary

    There was a locket around Astarion’s neck. It was a simple thing, made of sturdy gold, not too gaudy. It was also a gift from his master. Astarion doesn’t know his name. Only that he’s Astarion’s master, and sire.

    But he’s all alone in this wilderness now, far from his master and anything he can remember, and no one yet has hurt him. No one yet has told him what to do, either.

    ***

    Anoxic brain oxygen deprivation often lead to difficulty with memory and the ability to recall facts, informations, names, and the like. And to a dead boy who spent a whole night in a coffin before rising again, there’s nothing like the taste of dirt on the tongue to spin this tale.

    Summary

    There was embroidery in Astarion's shirt's collar. There was embroidery in his siblings' every things. He was so talented with his hands, so good at this at least. There was embroidery in the tapestries up on the wall.

    Pieces of him in everything he stitches, everything he weaves.

    Summary

    There is, for vampires and spawns, no others ways to see themselves than through a portrait - something Astarion could have only dreamed of while under Cazador's rule.

    But in the darkest hour of the night, when the sun has yet to rise, when the line between master, father and tormentor blurs, shadows against the wall draw themselves in curious ways. There is a portrait in the golden boudoir. Who can say what it shows ?

    Summary

    Halsin is kind, too kind, maybe. For better or for worse, Astarion must look out for him, even if it means never turning his back to the lovely child reeking of blood and murder.

    Summary

    Astarion’s an old, bitter whore, made prettier and colder by the light at the window of his room in the brothel he belongs to, overlooking the red district’s street. He sings, and he beds, and he longs for the day he’ll be free—by death or any other means

    A sad and lonely thing, Colombe thinks. How lovely he would look, decked in jewels and blood. How lovely his chain would be.

    Shackles, shackles, in the end, rotting steel or gleaming gold, aren’t they all the same ?

    Summary

    Free at least from two thousands years of slavery, suffering and blood-stained tears, Astarion wake up.

    And yet, so quickly he is found again, by goblins this time, that he thinks he dreamt these few days of freedom under the sun. A pet this time to the True Soul Dror Ragzlin, he survives and wait, weary of a servitude he knows too well.

    But there is someone else in these dungeons drenched in blood, someone not so unlike him, who understand that bowing the head sometimes is much better than fighting in vain. After all, pain loves company, does it not ?
