    Summary

    And when Caitlyn reached out and her fingers stroked Vi’s cheek with the greatest gentleness anyone had ever touched her with, when Vi reached up instinctively and caught her fingers and held them close, something clicked into place. Vi looked up at Caitlyn, and she saw something warm in her eyes, and she couldn’t move, could barely breathe as Caitlyn sat up and leaned over her and brushed her hair back with gentle fingertips and kissed her.

    OR

    Yet another version of what happened during that in-between time in Caitlyn's bedroom.

    Summary

    Astarion feels like a starving fox released into a pen of chickens.

    His lean fingers pick at his cravat, easing out invisible wrinkles, his tongue tracing along his own fangs. His eyes dart over the street, his head full of new scents and sounds, pounding at the back of his skull. He can taste the pulses of the people that pass him by, can smell the blood that rushes through their veins, intoxicating in its temptation.

    He feels like a ravenous animal, a stalking predator just barely blending in amongst a sea of prey. But whoever he finds, Cazador had instructed for them to still be breathing by the time Astarion brings them back. He can’t rip the throat from the first thing he sees, no matter how much he finds himself aching to. There’s an impossible emptiness inside of him now, a growing abyss, and he finds himself wanting.

     

    (Or, Astarion and the prince who swept him off his feet long after he had given up on happy endings.)

    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.
