Summary
“Hob.” Dream could hear the waver in his voice. His body normally responded to his own desires, but here, it seemed to work against him. His throat was tight. It was all wrong, this was all wrong. This was not how it was supposed to go. “Hob, please.”
Still, his… his friend… ignored his presence.
TLDR;
Hob has started hallucinating his Stranger for the past seventy-odd years. When his Stranger actually turns up, he thinks it's another hallucination. Shenanigans ensue to get the pair on the same page.Updates Every Saturday (usually)

Summary
So here he is: a monster in the wilderness, a shadow crawling in the sun, trying desperately to be more than his nature. Than the terrified creature two centuries of torment shaped him into.
(Or Astarion reclaims his personhood, one fraught, determined step at a time. And with a little help along the way.)

Summary
When he wakes, he is on a beach, gold, looking up at the sun.
Ah, he thinks, distant. I'm dreaming.
Astarion is never quite sure, until the moment Cazador lies dead before him, whether this entire adventure is anything more than an extremely vivid hallucination.

Summary
It was with a great sense of shame that Cazador realized he had overindulged in the boy. Not indulged him, but indulged in him. He had bit into him like fresh piece of fruit, torn him open, and now he was broken. It was a terrible lapse of judgement. A well-tended spawn would never think to do something like this.
---
Astarion's year-long confinement was not just a punishment for his misbehavior. It was also a test for Cazador, to see if he could resist his worst impulses.
