Summary
Stories about Astarion & Gale getting into trouble together...and helping each other out. Not necessarily consistent with each other. I just enjoy writing about these two.

caught between the dark and the dreaming by Raayide

Summary
Marcus holds the goblet up, still stinking with klauthgrass, and ponders them, clutched in the wretched claws of his undead monsters. "Well," he says, and smiles. "If you will not willingly drink it, I have a manner of encouragement."
And then he raises his dagger, pricks his own wrist until scarlet pools over his pale skin, and lets blood drip into the goblet.
Before he can help it, Astarion stiffens.
Astarion has spent two hundred years with truth as a bitter enemy. Fitting, then, that his choice to say it is taken from him.

Summary
Astarion: HAHA! I manipulated and tricked you all into liking me and never abandoning me!
The Party: By making well-balanced decisions that met the needs of the group while helping us accomplish our short-term goals and listening to us talk when we were upset and stuff? Despite the fact you didn't always want to do that?
Astarion: Wait....
The Party: That's just friendship, stupid.
AKA: A collection of things that ostensibly happen in the same little mental universe. Loosely based on the events of an Origin Astarion run and the various questions it inspired. Not published in sequential order, but ordered somewhat by the narrative timeline.

Bookmarker's Notes
Another case of going back to bookmark the whole series. I started with "Strange Smile" - Astarion's panic, his companions' reactions to his distress, the tension back at camp - they all just feel so palpable. Most of these are painful, dark reads but so well-written.

Feels like reading a new TOS episode. Love it.

Summary
When he wakes, he is on a beach, gold, looking up at the sun.
Ah, he thinks, distant. I'm dreaming.
Astarion is never quite sure, until the moment Cazador lies dead before him, whether this entire adventure is anything more than an extremely vivid hallucination.

Summary
Other people always seem to be in awe of Spock's perfect poise and control. But then, those people don't have access to his reports. Humor.
