Summary
Astarion Ancunín is guilty as charged.
The court’s version of events begins with a missing leader, a blood-soaked stranger, and a lie told before breakfast—and it ends with an execution date, 413 days later.
At the center of the record is an arrangement between two monsters: mutually useful, allegedly uncomplicated, and increasingly difficult to explain under oath.
The witnesses disagree about nearly everything.
The accused maintains standards.
“Because I want you,” he said. “Because tomorrow you may be standing between me and several dozen goblins, and I would prefer your interest in my survival to stay enthusiastic. Because you are beautiful in a way that suggests the gods began with a woman and got distracted by a knife. None of those reasons makes the others false.”

Summary
Fear had a way of leaving scars on the mind like blows left bruises and cuts on the skin. No amount of wine could wash away his nightmare, but that did not stop Astarion from trying.
—
Grappling with changes that came along with his newfound freedom, Astarion unexpectedly catches feelings for a socially awkward, yet incredibly sweet, ranger from Neverwinter. Astarion doesn’t want to put a name to those feelings. Doesn’t want an attachment that could be ripped away at a moments notice.
But damn, does Cas makes his conviction to remain unattached, to use her as a tool, seem impossible.- Language:
