Summary
When Wyll and Astarion arrive at Ravengard Manor on the eve of Returning Day, Father isn’t home. Wyll knows what the butler will say before he says it: the city has made some additional demand on Father’s time, in the form of fractious patriars or trade disputes or unregulated crime, and Father’s presence is required elsewhere. It’s a familiar enough story from his childhood, recited more and more often as Father climbed higher and higher in the ranks. Time and again, Wyll told himself that Father owed his duty to the Gate, and Wyll was one soul in a city of thousands. And even when Wyll took his dinners alone, staring at his father’s empty place setting across the long table, he ate fine food off of fine china with fine silverware. In the midst of such hard-earned luxuries, how could Wyll claim he wanted for anything?
(In which Wyll brings Astarion to his father's house for the holidays, and gets a bigger headache than he bargained for – in more ways than one.)

Summary
Ulder Ravengard wants Wyll to enjoy more of the pleasures of youth, and Cazador Szarr has a solution: an enticing present for the young lord's birthday, in the form of an irresistible pale elf. To Astarion's surprise, Wyll is more interested in companionship than carnal pleasure. Their budding friendship sends ripples through the Gate's elite. But as that friendship begins to blossom into something more, the Grand Duke is called away to Elturel...

Summary
Wyll, that sanctimonious bastard, refuses to help Astarion ascend. Astarion leaves the party, hoping they all die screaming.
Ah, but Raphael has an offer: a mirror allowing travel between worlds. Surely there must be a universe where ascension is still on the table? There’s nothing left for Astarion in Baldur’s Gate, after all.
It doesn’t matter that Wyll’s come looking for him. And it certainly doesn’t matter that Wyll follows through the glass, through boundless universes, through their myriad other lives—searching, chasing, never giving up.

Summary
“Wyll, darling.” Astarion reaches up, cups Wyll’s cheek in his hand. “My love, my light, my – oh, I’m not going to try to compete with you when it comes to poetic appellations. If you ask me one more time whether I’m all right with this, I’m going to throttle you, and that would defeat the purpose of this whole little exercise, wouldn’t it?”
(In which Wyll forgets to factor himself into his plans for a special evening with Astarion.)

Summary
Until, oh, thirty minutes ago, Astarion held no particularly strong opinions about spiders. The largest of them carry barely a thimbleful of blood, and acid ranks only slightly above rot on his list of preferred flavors, but frankly, he’s eaten worse. There was that year – or was it two years? – when Violet, in one of her moods, tried to train the palace spiders to bite the other spawn in their sleep, but he holds that against Violet, not the spiders themselves. Eight’s always seemed an excessive number of legs – and eyes, ugh – but that’s more of an aesthetic complaint than a moral preference, really.
Over the course of the last thirty minutes, however, Astarion’s been forced to think about spiders more than ever before, and he’s discovered that he absolutely hates them.
(In which Gale saves Astarion from a second demise, much to Astarion's confusion.)
