    Summary

    Now, Astarion was a different story. He’d had nothing, then, without anyone noticing how, he’d suddenly had a gaudy tent that was clearly sized for a family, most likely pilfered from one of the many crates belonging to the tieflings piled near the entrance to the grove. And then, joining that, there were rugs, and blankets, and a growing collection of pillows, enough to build a fort. When they were finally ready to travel to the Underdark, Astarion had tried his best to pack and wrap it all into a manageable bundle.

    Tried.

    Gale remembered the pouted look of frustration. Had wanted to laugh about it, especially considering he was still a bit bitter about Tav choosing the vampire, of all people, honestly, but then Astarion’s frustrated frown had changed ever so slightly to pained resignation. The sight of it had made something twist uncomfortably in Gale’s stomach.

    Summary

    also known as I Bet You'll Fit in My Pack

    Astarion returns from a hunting trip with the gang, injured worse than he expected to be, but there is Halsin at his side making it all better. As usual. Nothing unexpected -- it'd been this way for weeks, not that Astarion realized. But most everyone was starting to notice.

    Astarion didn't need the druid to heal him, of course. It was just coincidence that Astarion's injuries -- even the ones that were worse off than he acknowledged -- didn't seem to really start hurting until he was back at camp, never mentioned them until under Halsin's careful healing hands. But he didn't need it, not at all. It wasn't a big deal. Just happenstance!

    So why was everyone so eager to bring it up?

    Summary

    "You've always been too hard on yourself, Master Halsin," she said. "100 years I've known you and the whole time you've been dragging the weight of all those burdens behind you. When was the last time you felt free, dear? Maybe chase that for a while, rather than some mind-flayer cult."

    Halsin couldn't recall, he noted bitterly.

    (Halsin abandons all of his responsibilities. It only has a little tiny bit to do with a handsome vampire spawn.)
