    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.
