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.)

Summary
“So there you have it,” Astarion went on, unwilling to wait for him to finish gathering his thoughts. “Any other questions about my biological functions or can I go to bed?”
“What about me?”
“What about you?”
“You could—…feed. From me.”
Oh. Now there was a thought.

Summary
When his advances are rejected one drunken night, Astarion makes it his personal mission to get the druid into his bed. His game of seduction quickly backfires when he realizes Halsin is in it for the long run.
[Light sprinkling of smut in chapter 3. There will be much more afterwards. A LOT of incoming angst if you're into that. Probably the most angst heavy fic I've written]

Summary
These days, most everybody in camp had learned to wave away Astarion’s advances with a laugh. They found the flirtation titillating, Gale figured, or a bit threatening, or some combination of the two. He wondered if anybody else found it sad.
--
Good old-fashioned rumination on choice and compulsion. Gale and Astarion shake off their metaphorical shackles.- Language:

Summary
Astarion is perhaps the one of the most interesting, irritating, but somehow undoubtedly kind people Halsin has ever observed. Though he’d flay anyone who had the audacity to tell him it.
****
In which Astarion is secretly nice and Halsin is exceedingly (annoyingly) observant.

Summary
Crawling over Halsin while on top of his own grave was not exactly the destination Astarion had in mind at the start of their relationship, but he was a rather impulsive man when the whim caught him.
(Or, Astarion grows closer to Halsin while in Baldur’s Gate.)
