   Summary

   A slow-burn, enemies to lovers arc between Tav and Astarion, two characters with similar trauma that develop very different perspectives on life. After reading the developer's notes for Astarion's scenes, I decided to portray him as a lot more manipulative than we initially think he is in the game. Scenes are written from both of their perspectives.

   New chapter(s) will always be posted by Sunday evening. (Spicier chapters will be noted as such O_o)

   Tav and Astarion meet under less than ideal circumstances after escaping the nautiloid. Tav finds him smug with a concerning lack of morality. Astarion sees her as sanctimonious and naive. Over time, they begin to develop an appreciation for each other and eventually fall in love.

   I really hope ya'll enjoy, and thank you for reading!!!
