   Summary

   Aeterna amantes. Lovers forever, until the world falls down. ~~

   --
   “Are you ready to behave this time, darling?” The vampire ascendant tempered his voice like steel. With a biting edge and confidence he didn’t feel. Perhaps it would stay the trembling in his fingertips as he reached toward her shackles.
   No reply. Silence that stretched on like infinite darkness. Silence like death itself.
   A mixture of horror and nauseous rage washed over him. He knelt down in front of her, “What? You’re not even going to look at me?” His voice was angry. Because if it was angry it couldn’t be sad.
   --

   After becoming the Vampire Ascendant against Tav's wishes, after forcing her to stay with him, Astarion must deal with the consequences of irrevocably shattering Tav's mind.
