    Summary

    The only comfort Astarion had in the years of hell he has endured under Cazadors control has been a golden ring with a chip of fire stone. No matter how many times Cazador has thrown it away, burnt it, or sold it, it always returns to him, good as new. His master gave up after a decade and told him to hide it, lest it impact his ability to lure unsuspecting victims back to his lair. Astarion has no memory of who gave him the ring, and the inscription "May we always return to each other" offered no help. But still, it is a comfort.

    When the tadpole is forced into his skull, and he has to join a ragtag group of weirdos just to survive while he figures out his new found abilities, he finds himself fiddling with it more often now that he won't get punished for it. But the wizard, Gale, keeps staring at it, and it makes Astarion uneasy. He tries to hide it, but the need to touch it, to hold it, is too great.

    So he endures the stares, and hopes that whatever the wizards reasons, he can use it to his advantage to finally be free from his masters clutches, and maybe find out who gifted him the only item he has of his life before he was a spawn.

    And they may be closer than he knows.

    Summary

    Per the prompt, "the Spider-Man fic where anti-mutant bigots think JJ is one of them because of how he is about Spider-Man and he experiences no personal insight whatsoever in reaction to this but is so offended he dedicates the front cover of the Bugle to spotlighting the X-Men for like three days straight and Peter is keysmash feelings".

    Summary

    For you I give thee a collection of stories from before and during the events in L4DStuck. You can more about that AU @/left4deadstuck on Tumblr, but for right now you are here and that's wonderful. I got some stories and moments I wanted to share that I couldn't exactly tie into the main story line, but these will be canon unless I say otherwise.

    If you are confused, don't worry, I will provide you the context that you would need. Enjoy :]
