    Summary

    Astarion sat on his throne, holding court in a posture that seemed to mock both the seat and the setting: leaning on one armrest, chin propped up on his palm, one leg thrown over the opposite arm, and an expression that suggested he could not possibly be more bored.

    OR

    Medieval-Glam-Rock-Bard!Tav skipped town after they smashed the Netherbrain and Ascendant Astarion *smashed her heart.*

    Now, five years later, maybe they'll get a cup of coffee and work things out.

    Nah, I'm lying this is a banter-aggressive, drama-heavy, fake dating courtship, slow-burnin' story informed by personal and shared trauma, identity, dysfunction, and the unresolved sexual tension that only a full-Lawful/Neutral-Evil Astarion vs. Mostly-Chaotic-Sometimes-Neutral Good Tav could produce.
