Summary
After spending so long in Cazador’s hold, Astarion had stopped dreaming of a normal life.
But he had been weak at times, curled on the kennel floors, shivering over the hard concrete and aching with pains that would never abate. He was a weak, miserable, dreaming thing.
He would imagine a life that he would never have, then, his only comfort in the droning centuries.
And then he meets Quillen.
(Or, Astarion gets a normal, domestic little life he never knew he wanted.
It's not long before Quillen grows sick.)

Summary
Someone is rushing to his side, a large hand clapping down onto his shoulder, keeping him from stumbling back. He has to stop himself from flinching, head jerking up to meet Yanis’s molten gold gaze. His face is as severe as ever, soft and stern, and it is the closest they have been in nearly a month.
Yanis carefully lowers him to the ground, one hand applying pressure to his throat and the other fluttering about the arrow that’s still embedded in Astarion’s leg. Yanis’s skin is warm, the pulse of his wrist caught in Astarion’s ears. It makes him feel oddly breathless, trying to focus on Yanis’s face.
(Or, 5 times Yanis cares for Astarion and one time Astarion cares for him back.)

Tongues & Teeth by FlowerCitti for TheGayBabyJailWarden (NerdOfTheHour)

Summary
Cazador is dead.
Killed by Astarion’s hand, left gurgling on his own blood and twitching against the stone floors. His face had been beaten in by Quillen’s fists, torn into in his own fit of rage. His knuckles feel bruised, aching, possibly even broken. The pain barely registers, his chest heaving with every desperate breath he pulls in.
His fingers curl into Cazador’s collar, and with one great heave he sends the man’s corpse over the ledge. The sickening thud of it hitting the ground far below ripples through him, crawling just beneath his skin.
(Or, Cazador was Quillen’s father. He’s afraid of what that will mean to Astarion.)

A New Light by FlowerCitti for TheGayBabyJailWarden (NerdOfTheHour)

Summary
Astarion knows that there’s a steep price to this kind of magic. He knows it the moment that Yanis and him get tangled in it—looking for a cure to heal his vampirism.
It’s not easy. Nothing in life is.
But after two centuries of living as a monster, he’d do just about anything to change it. He’d do anything to be able to see to sun again, to hold Yanis’s hand in the daylight, to do something as fucking domestic as go to the food stalls with him and the fairs he doesn’t even like. To feel warm rays on pale flesh that thrummed with life, to have a heartbeat behind the empty cavity of his chest, a pulse for lips to press against.
(Or, Astarion finds a way to cure his vampirism. It doesn’t go the way he plans.)

Don’t Fall Away From Me by FlowerCitti for TheGayBabyJailWarden (NerdOfTheHour)

Summary
“What—what do you see, when you look at me?”
Astarion’s lips twitch into an instinctive smile, both curious and confused. “You needn’t use me as a mirror, love, surely you can see that handsome face of yours all on your own.”
Yanis’s mouth parts for a moment, suddenly feeling ridiculous for having even asked, but Astarion swiftly continues before he can get a word out.
“But really, darling, if you wanted me to return the favor, you only needed to ask. I’m always happy to oblige.”
(Or, Astarion is surprisingly good at giving comfort.)
