Summary
When Whitley receives an invitation to his sister's residence in Argus for the annual celebration of Solstice Week, he is initially unwilling to attend. Years of solitude and dedication to the Schnee Dust Company had resulted in alienation from the rest of his family. His heart grew cold, as he resigned himself to his mansion's study, working tirelessly for years on end. The greedy practices of the SDC continued, Faunus maltreatment persisted, and the divisions between Atlas and Mantle remained. However, on the night before Solstice Week is to begin, he is confronted with the ghostly apparition of the man many believed he had come to emulate. When his father warns him that he is going down the same path as he did, Whitley must confront the uncomfortable mistakes and regrets of the past, the tenuous nature of the present, and the grim prospects of the future. In doing so, Whitley must come face to face with his deepest sorrows and fears, while also coming to terms with the battles raging inside of his own heart.
Inspired by the "Nondescript Winter Holiday Carol" meme series from u/The WestphalianGwent on r/FNKI.

Summary
His shoulders slump as he releases a heavy sigh. He’s been worn down by your patience, worn down by years of keeping everything to himself. Here you are, offering up companionship without any expectation. Here you are, sitting in front of him, telling him that you actually, for some gods’ forsaken reason, like spending time with him and you’re not expecting any sort of compensation from him. So why is he trying so desperately to push you away?
Astarion and Tav share a quiet, peaceful moment together along their journey. Astarion learns that he is valued and loved.

Summary
None noticed his sickness. Of course they didn’t. Astarion had taken great pains to make sure they would not. He’d crafted himself as a man bothered by nothing, a man who took pleasure in anything and everything, and especially in a sadistic sort of violence. He could be romantic, if his partner wanted it. He could be charming and seductive. He could be demure. Anything and everything; a thousand different masks to lure people to their deaths. This mask, this Astarion that smiled with his sharp teeth and called Tav 'sweet' and 'darling' was as much as construction as every other version of himself had been.
Astarion breaks and remakes himself again and again. If love conquers all, why does loving Tav hurt so much? Can something so painful, so deceitful, ever be real?

Summary
Rather like a frog being slowly brought to a boil, by the time Astarion realizes he's doomed himself, it's already too late.
