    Summary

    The hunger was getting to him.

    The longer they travelled through the Underdark, the harder it became.

    There was nothing here to feed on that didn’t come with claws, fangs, or a lethal temperament that he could hunt alone.

    And now, starving, weakened, he was starting to feel the gnawing of his hunger, sharpening every glance he threw at his traveling companions. He loathed himself for it.

    Summary

    Wyll Ravengard has read a lot of romances. He knows how this story goes: the beautiful, consumptive courtesan falls in love with an idealistic man who wants to rescue her from her lot in life, only to die of the disease before they can wed.

    Wyll has read a lot of romances. He knows the signs. Astarion's deathly white pallor, his thin frame, the specks of blood lingering on his lips. Astarion, like Mimi, like Marguerite Guatier, is dying of consumption. Any romance between them is already doomed.

    Or, Wyll is genre savvy. Too bad it's the wrong genre. He thinks he's the hero of a gothic romance, but he's really found himself in a gothic horror.

    Summary

    As Orpheus raised the Netherstones into the air, ready to end the tyranny of the Absolute for good, Astarion's eyes were on Tav.

    He knew exactly what the paladin meant to do. A knife gleamed in the low light, and Astarion didn't have time to think, only act.

    ---

    Or, after seducing Tav for protection, Astarion soon comes to realize that Tav is a truly horrible person. Then Wyll gets involved, and darling, it's just a whole mess.

    Summary

    “Well I could help you with all those annoying, grasping patriars you know. If you begged me prettily enough.”

    “Astarion not five minutes ago you were telling me of your devious schemes to destroy me, and now you’re offering to be my, what? Personal social coordinator?”

    “Oh Wyll, these little chats wouldn’t be any fun at all if I couldn’t keep you guessing."

    Wyll Ravengard has a patriar problem; or, Astarion gets a new job, of a sort, and certainly doesn't make any mistakes at all.

    Summary

    When his dad speaks, it's in a carefully neutral voice. "You saw two wolves tonight."

    "One wolf," Stiles corrects. "The other was messed up. It had a wolf face, yes, but it was..." He trails off, not sure how to describe the wrongness of it. The way its muscles moved beneath its skin, rippling and bulging unnaturally. "It wasn't right."

    The sheriff nods. "And you magically threw this deformed wolf across the store?"

    "I didn't say it was magic."

    "A beam of light shoots out of your hands," the sheriff says dryly, "and tosses a wolf several feet away. You don't consider that magic?"

    Stiles fiddles with his IV. It's pumping fluids into him, but not morphine, unfortunately. He could use some unconscious euphoria right now.

    "I don't know what it was," Stiles says finally. "It's just what happened."

    His dad sighs. "Do you know that all wolves in this state are tracked? They have electronic collars on. Every wolf in California is a dot on a map somewhere."

    Stiles bites the inside of his mouth.

    "There are no wolves around Beacon Hills," the sheriff says definitively.
