Summary
Calypso is a Bhaalspawn, just beginning to find the tattered edges of her past as violent acts reveal her true nature to herself.
Unable to combat the dark urges that scream within her mind, struggling for a semblance of autonomy, she begins to hide more and more of herself from her new friends after spending weeks attempting to search for any shred of her past life.
And she's not the only one clawing at the seams of this fragile exterior in an attempt for control. Astarion is finding himself rather quickly at wits end with his own emotions - as they rise and fall to the beat of his favorite drow's heart, his stone cold one finds a warmth he can't quite stomach at the thought of her demise.In an attempt to feel real and whole, Calypso leans into the fear of falling for someone new in search of being found worthy.
In an attempt to feel safe and protected, Astarion leans into the fear of losing someone new in search of the power he set out to claim.
And indulging in these choices may very well destroy them both.Can they conquer the darkest depths of their own psyche, despite everything?

Summary
In a sleepy village on the Savage Frontier, a timid drow woman spends her days teaching a farmer's son how to play the flute. But when a nautiloid appears in the sky, the quiet life she's built for herself is thrown into chaos. Alone and infected with a mindflayer parasite, she's determined to find her student before she turns: even if that means forging new alliances with the strange group of survivors she finds along the way.
Adventure, friendship and slow burn romance that (loosely!) follows the events of Act 1 of Baldur's Gate 3. Now complete! :D
