Summary
“What do you want from me, Raphael?”
Raphael’s smile was slow and in tandem with the straightening of his spine. His sun-browned hands positioned themselves behind his back.
“I have asked myself that very question over and over again, thinking the answer haunting me could not be such a simple thing. It could not be rooted in such base instinct. Perhaps amidst the chaos of that fateful day, you managed to charm me. But I cannot deny what I am, Astarion, and what I can and cannot resist. The answer is always you. I want you.”
—
Astarion suffered many constants at the aquarium: constant boredom, constant awestruck faces pressing against the glass, constant hunger, constant dread of what torment Cazador would bring next…and the constant appearance of the handsome man he had saved four decades ago. The same man that shook hands with Cazador. A man that wasn’t a man at all.- Language:

Summary

Two nights later, a different man entirely awakens in the dark.
~Astarion escapes death at the hands of the Gur by selling himself to the new vampire lord, Cazador Szarr. Every day afterwards is a waking nightmare. He is nothing if not a survivor, but the longer he is tortured in the dark, the more and more he wonders if survival is worth it.

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

This time, he chose a long abandoned magic shop as his target.
It seemed like the easiest job he was ever going to have.
