    Summary

    No longer a slave, no longer a puppet under his master’s command, Astarion at last had tasted freedom. And with that freedom he claimed the desires that had burned within him for so long: to live without fear, to choose his own path, and above all, to walk beneath the sun – with a little help from Gale.
    And yet…
    Yet, even after all he had conquered, something remained beyond his grasp, something Astarion had never truly claimed: his own body. Freedom had given him the sun, the agency, the right to choose, but it had not given him comfort in his own skin. The thought of touch still unsettled him; the brush of another’s hand, the intimacy of a kiss... Anything could summon shadows of shame, leaving him feeling tainted, dirty, unworthy.
    But truth was, he longed for more.

    OR

    Astarion wants to reclaim his sexuality, and Gale offers him an agreement that is going to change both of their lives.
