Summary
“Look, I know we are on holiday right now,” Wyll begins. “No work. Just sight-seeing and relaxation. But…”
Wyll gives him an absolute masterwork of a smile. It’s charming without being too pushy, the kind of smile that says, “If you tell me that you want to go back to our lodgings, I will of course respect your wishes and will dispatch these foul monsters quickly and without a fuss. However, if you do find it in your heart to allow me to indulge in a quick spot of theatricality just this one time, I would consider it a kindness, and one that will be repaid.”
At least, that is what Astarion is choosing to interpret as the meaning of Wyll’s smile.
“Go on,” Astarion says, magnanimous. “You know you want to.”
With their wedding looming on the horizon, Wyll and Astarion decide to take a couple’s trip to spend time together and reconnect. Their holiday is supposed to be relaxing, fun, and low-pressure. It doesn’t entirely go according to plan.

And They Were Cultists by jellyfishline for fantailsock

Summary
Astarion has found a new lease on life, all thanks to the benevolence of the Absolute. No, living in a tower filled with cultists and having to deal with superior officers who think they can order him around is not exactly his idea of paradise, but anything is heaven compared to life under Cazador. He even gets his own room all to himself.
At least, until one Wyll Ravengard, newest member of the Absolute's ranks, is assigned to his room.
(In which Astarion and Wyll are swept up by the cult before the intervention of a certain magical artifact.)

Summary
Somewhere below him, a stranger named Wyll is living in the same house. Astarion had fled as far as he could and instead of quiet safety, there is someone else, and they aren't leaving.
It doesn't matter. He's here to stay.
Astarion hasn't made it this far to just give up.
Or: an old house on the point between two worlds.

Summary
“Help,” Wyll said. He shook his head. “Or, sorry, I meant to ask, do you need help?”
The man —a pale elf— blinked at him. He was visibly bewildered. “What?”
“Someone here needs help,” Wyll said. “I’m trying to find them. Is it you?”
Or: In a world with no mind flayers and no Mizora, Wyll dies in Cazador's castle. Then he becomes a poltergeist.

Summary
“I wish I could trust you to not break your promises, Astarion,” the devil said. “You know I don’t want to see you hurt.”
The cold fear in his blood dropped in temperature another hundred degrees to something that could have frozen magma. The devil knew his name.
The devil thought they had a bargain.
Astarion didn’t remember.
