    Summary

    Mary Gillis wanted so much more for her life.

    Things were so terrible now that she often swore a tornado could rip through her gaudy little life and she would thank it for the briefest excitement. With her days blurring into an endless cycle of doing exactly as expected of her, her life had become the image of a cage she could no longer escape.

    When a storm did rip through, it came in the form of a man named Arthur Morgan. A man she should have known would steal her heart.

    Summary

    It hurt.

    It always hurt.

     

    You thought it was a fever, fatigue from perhaps over working or maybe just a cold. A week went by, then another, then another, and then another.

    "Tuberculosis." The doctor told you. "Treatable, but no medicine here could help you."

    A plan was set for you now, seek help and return to a normal life. That was until you were kidnapped by the mindflayers. The tadpole stopped it, you weren't sick anymore. Sickness didn't haunt you, you found friends and even love.

    Astarion, your beautiful, beautiful, immortal love. And even if you loved him with all of your dying heart, you didn't tell him. You thought it was gone. It was for sometime, well until the defeat of the Netherbrain. After he ran from the sun your body felt weak, your head hurt and you couldn't look straight. The realization came to you.

     

    Your time is almost up.

    Summary

    The last thing Tav needed was some conniving elf holding a dagger to her throat in some deluded attempt at proving he was some threat to be feared after everything that had come after her that morning.

    All this was, was a hindrance to her.

    Until she locked eyes with the elf.

    Until she locked eyes with her ex fiancé.

    Her dead ex fiancé.

    Summary

    “Easy, darling.” Astarion worries at your face as you pant for air, swiping aside a trickle of blood dribbling down your chin. “That’s it.”

    You’re crying, you realize, something not even the torture had been able to draw from you. You’ve known your situation long enough, but this is the first moment that you’ve understood at your core.

    What you are now. What you need. What cannot be undone.

    Summary

    Two years after the events of Baldur's Gate, a fateful encounter in a graveyard leads Tav and Astarion down a path of separation, contemplation, and reparation. The Seldarine and the Spawn find themselves navigating their relationship in the context of families they never knew as they grapple with the ghosts of their pasts that haunt them, and the future of hope that taunts them.

    ---

    Footsteps approached Tav and she looked up from her contemplative state to meet the face of Mortarch Gracie Scyre. The elderly woman smiled welcomingly at her.

    “It’s strange to see two separate individuals come to visit the same site in a day,” she commented, looking down at Astarion’s grave with curiosity. “This grave has been here for over 200 years according to our records, and I don’t believe in the time I’ve been here I’ve seen one person come to visit.”

    “Two people? There was someone before me?” Tav questioned. Had Astarion somehow come under the cover of darkness without alerting her? That didn’t seem like him.

    “Oh, yes. A young elven woman with very pale white hair. Asked if I could show her the grave of Astarion Ancunin.” Tav’s stomach somersaulted and she felt her chest tighten with anxiety.

    Summary

    It's been a month since you've been titled as one of the 'heros' of Baldurs Gate, and only a month ago you went through with a particular infernal ritual that sacrificed seven thousand souls. Only after it was too late did it hit you, your lover changed it seemed as if his soul was also damned to the hells.

    Now after a nasty breakup between you two that left much unsaid you find out he's being wed and that theres an increased amount of random civilian deaths that have been linked back to vampires, specifically one vampire that you know all too well. You were the one who let him go through with ascension, so it's only fair if you're the one to get to the bottom of this. Right?

    ─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

    "Stop with your heroics, it's embarrassingly pathetic honestly. How much longer are you going to deny yourself?"
    “You're the pathetic one, drop the fucking act Astarion.” you snap back, not having the patience in you to try to be the bigger person. He deserved to hear every horrible thing you’ve been wanting to scream at him for the past month. At your response you see his mouth curl up in amusement

    “Am I? You’re the one at my doorstep. You do understand that don’t you?”

    Summary


    Tavya watched Astarion's eyes scan the name written across the front. Once, twice, three times. Then he looked to her, nearly stunned into silence. “I— What is this?”

    She gently tugged the envelope from his grasp. “I wrote to them. Your family. Or, well, your parents, anyway," Tavya stuttered. "I searched and searched and I finally found names and an address, but it’s been so long since I've written… I didn’t think…”

    “You… found them?” he asked numbly.

    “I… I think so.”

    * * * * *

    Astarion is enjoying married life in Baldur's Gate when he discovers his parents are still alive. Alongside his wife, Tavya, he travels to Evereska to meet them - but family reunions are seldom simple.
