Summary
Marcus holds the goblet up, still stinking with klauthgrass, and ponders them, clutched in the wretched claws of his undead monsters. "Well," he says, and smiles. "If you will not willingly drink it, I have a manner of encouragement."
And then he raises his dagger, pricks his own wrist until scarlet pools over his pale skin, and lets blood drip into the goblet.
Before he can help it, Astarion stiffens.
Astarion has spent two hundred years with truth as a bitter enemy. Fitting, then, that his choice to say it is taken from him.

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

Summary
Lets smash Karlach and Astarion’s act 2 romance scenes together, shall we? Starts off just in Astarion's own head then lots of back and forth talkies between the two.
Astarion’s manipulation efforts on Karlach to make sure she'll never turn on him have been working amazingly! Even though he wasn’t able to really give it his best efforts due to the whole ‘unable to touch her’ thing. But now she’s got her engine fixed, so she can touch people! This is great. Right? Astarion is very confused why he is feeling so very weird about at this turn of events. Meanwhile Karlach is so fucking happy she can touch people and, after hugging the shit out of everybody she can get her arms around, she’s super jazzed to be able to finally take Astarion up on his offer for a ‘night of passion’. One problem: where the fuck did he go?
Annnnnd Action!

Summary
“You're a pretty little thing,” Loki observed, while his eyes took her in. “Grandmaster said you are untouched, is that true?”
Anna from Midgard nodded her head obediently, fighting the tears that threatened to surface. This was her duty. To disobey meant for a far, far more dreadful fate.
