    Summary

    Stars begin as dense regions within molecular clouds, which are vast accumulations of gas and dust.

    These regions, often called "stellar nurseries," collapse under their own gravity.

    This is the first stage in stellar formation, the birth of a star.

    -

    Young rockstar-in-the-rough Astarion is joined by his grim band manager Cazador on his first tour as a performing musician.

    Cazador is not pleased with how things are going. Not pleased at all.

    Summary

    Szarr Palace is attacked by a powerful order of Lathander's clerics, revealing Cazador Szarr's true nature to the citizens of Baldur's Gate. He and his spawn are forced to flee - from the relative safety of their home into the wilderness, with no lair to hide from the sun, no powerful contacts to conceal their traces. Cazador has to concede eventually and loosen his precious rules to ensure their survival. Is this the beginning of a new era where Spawn and Master might form a true alliance? Or will Cazador's thirst for power corrupt everything pure he touches?

    In short:
    We explore Familia Szarr’s very toxic ‘family’ dynamics, under suddenly changed circumstances. All their trauma is laid bare as they are ripped out of a reality they have known for centuries. While in some a glimmer of hope ignites, one cannot bear to lose even an ounce of his control...

    Summary

    Wyll Ravengard is one exhausted grad student, needing some quick cash in the midst of a busy semester. Luckily for him, Professor Szarr has an easy task at hand—to watch over his beloved husband Astarion for the weekend, while Cazador flies off for a conference.

    See, Astarion is ill. Very ill.

    Or...is he?

    ~*~

    "Uh," Wyll stalls. "I mean...thank you, sir, for trusting me with this. But I don't really have any experience with nursing, or any caregiving really—wouldn't it be better to hire a day nurse, or—"

    "Astarion is not just sick in body," Szarr interrupts. "I'm afraid he's also quite sick in the mind. And you understand the mind, Wyll. You understand it better than many of the students I've seen over my years here. So please, tell me. Are you willing to do this?"
