Summary
"Astarion never hunted living things back home, he didn’t need to, living things threw themselves at him when he gave them the attention they wanted, degrading themselves for just a fleeting moment of his time. Sometimes, if he was lucky, Astarion had allowed himself to keep to the shadows when he needed a moment alone. Just a moment. Tucked into the darkness, without people vying for his attention, without trying to claim the attention of others. It was rare, sweet, cherished, to find respite in the bustling darkness and let himself breathe, to be unseen. Sometimes he felt like the whole world was watching him, observing him, devouring him. He wanted to claw his own skin off. He wanted to be strong enough to never have to bear the weight of their hungry eyes again."
AKA Astarion and Durge slowly fall for each other but are both very broken people with very very dangerous habits. A focus on both their trauma and the overcoming of it. I say the dove is dead because this fic goes to dark places but I always put content warnings at the start of each chapter.
A novelestaiton of Baldurs Gate 3 with a focus on Astarion and my Durge OC Howl. Mostly cannon compliant with Spawn Astarion and resisiting Durge endgame
