    Summary

    It had to be Astarion’s choice. Astarion’s decision. That’s what this was all about. Astarion needed to be the one to initiate intimacy. He needed to know he had the freedom of choice- that Halsin would be here for him regardless of how long it took or how difficult it was for him.

    Astarion's got a lot of issues with intimacy, with allowing himself to be loved. Halsin's got all the time in the world to help him figure it out.

    Cuddling is a functionally useless activity, but maybe it's not so bad when it's with Halsin.

    Summary

    Not every flower needed to make medicine. Not every apple needed to become a pie. Once, Astarion and his hands served no purpose besides Cazador’s, but now, they picked fruit, and planted flowers. Now, he made tea. Now, he stood in the sun.

    Like a bulb planted in the winter, Astarion had lasted every year that passed, and he would last many more.

    or: after he is cured, astarion finds his life in reithwin with halsin is full of strange and delightful new things.

    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...
