    Summary

    As the days pass by within the depths of The Chasm, the fallen Dracon of the Reaving Tempest feels the weight of his humiliation and despair as it begins to crush his will to survive. Shaken by the appearance of the same mon-keigh he blames for his current circumstances, will her unthinkable offer and their strange commonality be enough to stir up the dying storm within him?

    Summary

    “I’m actually supposed to be meeting a friend, but I’m not sure she’s coming. She was supposed to meet me by now.” She answered, sipping her wine.

    “A shame, really.” He said, his voice flirtatious and suggestive. “Tell you what, my dear,” He began, digging himself into a hole he wasn’t sure he could dig himself out of. “If she doesn’t show by the time you’ve finished that drink, come find me.”

    She hesitated, but smiled, holding her hand out to shake his. “Aelynn.”

    Aelynn. Her name was a chorus in his head. He reached out to shake her hand.

    “Astarion.” He took her hand as he spoke, giving it a slight shake.
    ~~~~~~~
    Fifteen years before the nautiloid crash, Astarion finds himself once again at the Elfsong Tavern in search of prey for Cazador. He had no idea that prey would awaken something in him he thought he'd lost long ago.

    A slow burn, alternating romance between Aelynn Tav and Astarion as their group tries to find a cure for the pesky tadpoles in their head.

    Summary

    “Oh, gods forbid they respond positively to you doing a good thing,” Neve deadpans. She squeezes him a little again. “That’s sort of how it works, Astarion.”

    She can’t even see it. Believes the best of them all so earnestly, himself included, that she can’t see how it would all fall away without her at the center. It’s enough to make a person feel like they might actually deserve it.

    “And by it, you mean…?” he asks instead.

    Her huffed laugh of disbelief ruffles the hair at his neck. “Friendship, you idiot,” she answers. “And the general acquisition thereof.”

    Astarion cuts a sideways look at her as best he can with her still nestled so close. “And is that what we are? Friends?”

    He’d meant it to tease her, and yet finds that the silence before her answer twists his stomach. Because…he doesn’t actually know, either.

    “Yes, Astarion,” Neve says gently, after a moment. “I think we’re very good friends.”

    -

    Neve and Astarion, continued. She's not a victim. Not a target. Not just one night it's better to forget. But then...whatever in the world could she be?
