    Summary

    “I’ll be the devil, if that suits you, darling...” He murmurs into her neck. “Let me show you what it is to be godless.”

    ---

    Astarion searches the Waterdeep library for leads on a rumored daylight ring, only to become captivated by its overnight archivist.

    Celeste, a descendant of the goddess Selûne, has concealed her divine heritage for years. Now, hunted by Sharrans, she realizes her best hope of survival depends on a deeply traumatized vampire spawn rooming with her former flame, Gale Dekarios. In exchange for protection, Celeste agrees to help free Astarion from an eternity of darkness.

    OR, where two people who have kept others at arm’s length for their own survival explore the line between “very good friends” and hopeless devotion.

    For those who enjoy: reluctant allies to friends to lovers to enemies to lovers again, banter, sexual tension, messy slowish burns that become wildfires, exploration of religious trauma and expectation, and maybe a little sacrilegious fantasy.
