    Summary

    One child unloved and raised by servants, one abandoned in the Underdark and left for dead; loneliness was familiar to both Cazador and Vellioth until a chance meeting made the young elves find a home in each other.
    But Cazador's attempt to break away from the Szarr legacy to forge a new life for himself goes awry as his past begins to catch up with him, and his aunt Donnela refuses to be ignored.

    Summary

    The inside layer is black and the outside strip of leather, with a metal ring embedded around the front and the Szarr crest sewn on top in gold thread, is red, and Astarion clearly despises it.

    “I’m not your dog,” Astarion says. It isn’t said with any confidence.

    A spawn is made to be owned.

    Summary

    “Oh, Hereld. Thank you. Thank you,” said the newcomer babbled, weeping, holding her hands over her head. “You are as great as they say. Thank you.”

    Right as Viktor was going to take her hands and accept her veneration, a voice raspy with disuse said from behind, “You did always revel in being worshiped.”

    Viktor whirled, heart rising into his throat. “Jayce, you’re awake.”

    He held his hammer slackened at his side. “Yes. And I’m leaving. Goodbye, Herald,” he practically spat before walking past, heading for the gate with a limp.

    “Wait.” Viktor passed off the woman to a follower who was seasoned in acclimating new members, then hastened after Jayce. When he caught up to his side, he said, “You must stay, rest. You’re in no condition to be going anywhere.”

    “There’s nothing I must do but prepare.”

    “Prepare for what?”

    Jayce stopped in his tracks at the gate and took in the field of yellow wildflowers rolling in a gentle breeze. A flicker of wonder sparked in his eyes, but then a beat later, it faded. “For you.”

    ~~OR~~

    Viktor finally has his partner back, and he'll do anything to keep him at his side.

    Summary

    Jayce pulls him up till he’s sitting, bringing him to his chest and holding him closer. It seems cruel to think of separating, even by an inch. “I love you,” he says, because it’s true. Because Viktor needs to know. Because the words have been trying to burst from his throat since the minute they woke up. “I should’ve told you before we- I mean. I should’ve said. I didn’t want to die without you knowing. I don’t know why I didn’t. I love you. I’ve loved you.”

    Viktor lets out a choked gasp from where his head is buried in the crook between Jayce’s neck and shoulder. “What?”

    ---

    or what happens after the ending of arcane- the slightly more positive version where Jayce and Viktor wake up somewhere new, together and very much alive.
