    Summary

    Astarion had a plan. A nice, simple plan: seduce Tav, sleep with her, manipulate her feelings so she'd never turn on him.

    All she had to do was fall for it.
    And all he had to do was not fall for her.

    Which is where his nice, simple plan fell apart.

    - - -
    Exploring Astarion's POV throughout the game while romancing Dark Urge/Tav. Canon is followed in most cases, including with lines of dialogue from the game, but Act 2 and 3 break off from canon a few times in fun ways.

    Content warnings are listed ahead of the more intense chapters. Overall this fic (like the game) explores what healing from abuse looks like and has a lot of references to those themes.

    Chapter 16- The Tiefling Party

    She held him as he came down and let go of her neck, pressing a kiss to the second set of bite marks. His forehead rested heavily on her shoulder as he tried to compose himself, to saw off, stamp down and kill whatever all of that had just been. He reminded himself that this was nothing more than part of the plan. Nothing more, he thought as he felt her squeeze his arm and kiss it, turning to face him. Her eyes were bright, soft and sleepy when they found his, searching, it seemed, for something that she found instantly and smiled.

    Summary

    "It's over. I'm done with it," Astarion's voice was a broken whisper, barely audible over his sobs. He was speaking to himself, affirming the end of a chapter steeped in torment. The sight was heartbreaking. Sad. He knelt there for a moment, as if trying to believe what had happened.

    Then, rising from the ground and lifting his bloodshot eyes to meet Tav's, his expression twisted into something bitter and cold. "And I'm done with you," he spat out venomously.

    Tav's step faltered, her hand still suspended in the air. Confusion and hurt welled up inside her. "What?" she stammered, her mind racing to make sense of his words. He was in shock, surely. The trauma, the bloodshed, it had to be too much.

    But Astarion's voice cut through her thoughts, icy and trembling with a raw edge of emotion she had never heard before. "I would say good luck out there, but honestly?" His gaze was piercing, unyielding. "I hope you die." The words slithered out like a curse, each syllable dripping with a venom that chilled her to the bone.

    Astarion narrowed his eyes, leaned towards her and whispered ominously, only to her. “Screaming.”

    Summary

    Watching Naruto and Sasuke fight Kaguya from the sidelines was not as safe as it should have been. Blasted by the alien goddess, Kakashi and Sakura find themselves twenty-five years in the past. A familiar war is brewing and the village is filled with ghosts. Is it real or some strange version of the Infinite Tsukuyomi? With no way to know for sure, their options are limited. They should probably leave things alone, but familiar silver hair proves too great a temptation.
