    Summary

    “Your master must be fond of sending others to do his dirty work,” Halsin said.
    Astarion’s eyes flicked up to meet his gaze. He was shrewd; he knew then that Halsin understood the situation. Halsin belatedly realized that the vampire spawn’s flushed face could be from hunger. Halsin’s chest dripped with freshly spilt blood.
    “You have no idea,” Astarion said in a tight voice. “How much of his dirty work I have done.”
    Halsin spread his hands in a gesture of surrender, of passivity. “I know it wasn’t your choice.”
    “I did what I had to do to survive.”
    Halsin recognized the words; he had said them before himself.

    Astarion adapts to his new life in the sun, seemingly free of Cazador, but with no shortage of enemies who would see him captive again. Halsin, burdened with responsibility for so many that he often forgets himself, encounters some of the same enemies in his quest to restore the balance of nature.

    After rescuing each other in a goblin camp, the pair finds they may have more in common than shared enemies...

    Summary

    Whumptober Day 12: Starvation

    After 200 years as a bloodsucker, Astarion accidentally does the worst thing someone in his position could do: He grows a conscience.
    In his defense, it's kind of hard not to when these idiots he's ended up with are being so damn nice to him, for reasons he simply can't wrap his head around. Finally the guilt becomes too much and he swears off feeding from the party. He'll simply find his meals elsewhere, feeding off animals and whatever juicy enemies they stumble across. It's fine. And it was.
    Until they reached the barren Shadowlands that is.

    Summary

    What was the archdruid like in bed?
    Would he be gentle and caring with Zevlor?
    Or would he be rough? Would he pin Zevlor down to the ground beneath his large frame?
    And of course, is he proportional all over?
    These are all questions that Zevlor was ashamed to want the answers too, watching Halsin he can't help his curiosity at how the man treats his lovers— and despite his shame he couldn't help but wonder.

    (sorry for the bad writeup, I like writing but for some reason summaries are super difficult)
