  Summary

  Essentially a backstory fic for my Curse of Strahd character, Lavinia Sokolowski. Ward to Lord Strahd and with her twin brother, Lysander, planted moles into the latest adventuring party that is giving their father headaches, she recollects one of her fondest memories. Lavinia's childhood at Castle Ravenloft was certainly...Unique.

  For the twins' 12th birthday, their guardian generously asked them what would make them happiest on this special day. Lysander, ever the curious spirit, was given the opportunity to see Baldur's Gate for himself, with the assistance of the Vistani. Lavinia, never being the demanding type, had a more modest request: just one dance. Being Strahd's favourite, for better or for worse, she was given an evening she would never forget.
