Summary
Two months after the fall of the Netherbrain, Astarion and Asanna head back to the Arcane Tower in the Underdark since he can no longer walk under the sun. Old memories may still haunt Astarion, but it's also the start of a new adventure as they try to figure out what to do about the matter of the spawn they freed.
This is set post-game, so fair warning that there are spoilers for everything from Act 1 to Act 3.

“You know, darling,” Astarion suddenly said, a smile playing about his lips, “if you want to keep me all to yourself, we could just go back to the Elfsong instead of heading to that dusty old mage’s tower—so long as you remember to mind the drapes in the daytime. Honestly, a free room in perpetuity is the least that the city owes us when they should be giving us the entire inn.” He took her hand gently and turned it over to kiss it, his fangs lightly grazing her skin.
“My bright and beautiful star,” the wizard said with a sigh, withdrawing her hand to brush her long silvery hair back, “you had that look again just now—the one where you’re a million miles away. What is it? And have you truly suddenly decided that life as an innkeeper is for you?”

Summary
After V agrees to enter into Mikoshi in 2077 in order to save her own life after being told that her condition is terminal despite the successful removal of Johnny Silverhand's engram, her future is in flux even as Takemura Goro finds his fate changed for the better at Arasaka in a surprising turn of events. No longer disgraced, Takemura has been placed in charge of the project to bring the thief back to life—mainly so that Arasaka Saburo can keep the bodyguard, whom he considers one of his most valuable people, in line and loyal, along with keeping V compliant as a potential asset. In 2079, Takemura's first meeting with V in many months turns emotionally fraught, and they both confront their long-suppressed feelings.
* NOTE: If you've seen previous iterations of this synopsis, well, it was about time to make it a little more sensible ten chapters in. :P And in keeping with the theme of missions being named after songs, the story title refers to the Bobby Darin song.

Summary
The story takes place after the Revelations quest, and it starts off with a spin on the encounter with Imshael at Suledin Keep. Although Blackwall and the Inquisitor eventually deal with some unresolved issues stemming from her judgment of him and his own inner turmoil, the wound he suffers during combat turns out to be more serious than expected. Needless to say, this isn't going to be the end of their trials, as you can probably expect to see Blackwall's past coming back to haunt him in the future (if I go through with what I currently have planned - heh).
