    Summary

    When Astarion awakens in the aftermath of the Nautiloid crash, it is not to a friendly face but the press of goblin steel against his cheek.

    Now a captive of the Absolute, he is left starving and huddled in the corner, waiting for the beast that shares his cell to finally strike.

    Bears, after all, are not known to be the most gracious killers.

    Summary

    The Radiance has been forever vanquished, and Hollownest falls eternally silent. As time goes on, more and more of those who survived the infection leave the molted shell of the dead kingdom. And as they do, Hornet slowly finds herself to be more and more alone, until all she has left is what little Ghost had collected before his final battle with the False Light. Slowly, she falls deeper and deeper into depression and despair. As she reminisces one night over the deaths of everyone she called family, she finds herself breaking down, and in a rare show of raw emotion, suddenly finds herself wishing that none of this had ever happened; that she could talk to her siblings, instead of killing them -- or at the very least talk to Ghost again. To her mother again. And yes, though cruel and uncaring as he was, even her father again.
    When she opens her eyes, she finds herself in a version of Hollownest unlike anything she has ever seen. Where the infection has been kept at bay, her siblings roam free, and the Pale King, while not perfect, is no monster.
