Summary
He groaned and tried to flop onto his back, only to awkwardly slam his horns against the ground. He cursed under his breath and rolled onto his side instead, curling inward, hoping desperately nobody would come to find him.
“There you are! I’ve been trying to speak to you all night, but you’ve been quite in demand, haven’t you?”
Wyll snapped up into a sitting position and instantly regretted it. He curled his fingers into the dirt in an attempt to keep himself upright as the world spun around him.
Astarion was standing over him, dangling a bottle of red wine from his fingers. “I was going to offer to share this bottle with you, but you look like you’ve had quite enough. It’s for the best anyway, the wine is terrible.”
****************
In a timeline where Wyll is forced into the leadership role of the tadpole gang, he deals with his angst of the demon transformation by drinking way too much at the Tiefling party, and Astarion sees an opportunity.Series

Summary
"We don’t know exactly what caused your…episode, and I don’t want to hurt you.”
Astarion clicked his tongue. “We have an idea, dear. You touched me.”
Wyll frowned, silent.
“So…if we made a rule that we couldn’t touch…”
******************
Astarion is triggered by a chaste touch during foreplay, so the OBVIOUS solution is to simply...not allow touch. While teasing Wyll mercilessly.

Summary
Wyll thought to himself sometimes about the day he and Astarion had spent alone together in the upper floor of the Elfsong. Especially about Astarion’s teasing suggestion that “when we have a home together, I’ll have to help you find all the places we can take each other.”
At the time he’d been imagining a rustic, humble home on the outskirts of the city with a warm fireplace. Perhaps a little garden.
He’d forgotten, somehow, about the grand Ravengard estate, and the expectations of there being a certain level of opulence in the home of the Grand Duke.
He’d also forgotten the fact that they’d be living with his father.
