Summary
Not now, you say, over and over, as you gouge mortality from your body in strips of bloody red. Not now. I'll be a better person once I escape.
At a certain point, you have to understand that you're lying.

Summary
Three commands has Astarion broken, and now the fourth with a rapier through his gut and crossbow to his skull. Centuries he's wanted to be free—well, here it is. Dirt under his nails and blood behind his fangs. He's free. Isn't he fucking satisfied?
Astarion has not been a person in two hundred years. His journey to become one does not start off well.

Summary
"Man turns his back on his family, he ain't no friend of mine," Steve's dad sings in the kitchen, Bruce Springsteen blasting from the record player. He always listens to records as loud as he can, and even though it bursts Steve's eardrums and makes mom disappear upstairs, Steve savors these moments. His dad winks and shimmies his shoulders, and Steve scrubs dishes as he watches his dad come alive to the music, until eventually, the tap water clicks off and Steve joins his dad, bouncing on his toes and swinging until he's numb.
Looking at this picture, you'd never know that ten years ago his dad almost killed him with a golf club.

The Case of the Man Who Two-Thirds Wasn't There by glisteningceruleaneyes
Fandoms: Disco Elysium (Video Game)
29 May 2022
Tags
Summary
Three-and-one-third bodies have been found in an abandoned vehicle on the riverbank.
It would be a challenging case even without the bad weather, weapons smuggling, white nationalists, industrial accidents, and the concept of pedigree dog breeds—but over it all hangs one troubling question: What is it that fascinates you about Kim Kitsuragi? Is it working class camaraderie? A sinister hex of mysterious origin? Did you imprint on him in Martinaise, like an amnesiac duckling? If you don’t figure out what’s going on soon, people are going to start to notice. Especially him.
And sooner or later? Everything is related to the case.
