Summary
Hallucinations come a little more naturally to elves than other races. The vapor-thin veil between the reverie of trance and stark reality takes so little effort to pierce. An elf dreams through their memories without ever truly sleeping; thus, dreams do not always wait for consciousness to exit before stepping onto the stage. At least, that's how Astarion sees it. He's never had his assumptions checked by a second opinion.
Astarion, at Tav's request, eats something that doesn't agree with him. This has unexpected consequences.

Summary
Beauty, tradition, and perfection: these are the pillars of the House of Szarr, a centuries-old perfumery owned by creative director and artist Cazador Szarr and shouldered by its next-to-nobody nose, Astarion Ancunín.
Overworked, underpaid, and determined to claw his way out, Astarion finds the perfect blend of unusual charm and genius—and the key to toppling the house for good—when he meets chemistry professor Gale Dekarios.
Or: one perfumer, one professor, one treatise on art, addiction, and the price of ambition.

Summary
The Royal Baldur Ballet's upcoming season is poised to be the most dramatic yet. With seven gorgeous ballets to stage, first soloist Astarion Ancunín is convinced this will be the season he finally shines bright enough, worthy of the rank of principal dancer. Enter Wyll Ravengard, stage left, and everything is about to change.
~*~
Wyll Ravengard is most definitely not an apprentice. Astarion knows that name, Wyll Ravengard. He won the Prix de Lausanne five or so years ago, the most prestigious competition for ballet students. Even as a student, it was clear that Wyll was going to be the ballet world’s next big star.
And now he’s here, in Astarion’s barre spot. In his rank.

Summary
Meditation is not sleep, and reverie is not quite dreaming. Fever can shunt humans into a horrible half-sleep. Elves, instead, get one foot caught in memory.
Memory can be unkind.

Summary
Becoming a pets as therapy volunteer was one of the most worthwhile things Gale has ever done. His weekly visits to the local hospital's inpatient unit are truly worthwhile. Just watching Tara gently purr down defences, help in ways humans can't is a balm to his still healing soul. Thankfully Tara is also more stubborn than is probably sensible when she encounters a closed door. Needless to say, the door to the darkened room doesn't stay closed for long.
