   Summary

   Astarion is given a chance to escape Cazador's clutches. The catch? He is being sent on a one-way ticket to Earth, with no memory of how he got there.

   No tadpoles, no tadpole gang, no BG3 canon events. He leaves the night before the Nautiloid came.

   A tale in which Astarion learns how to be an adult, gets the therapy he deserves, and helps the love of his life and himself avoid being caught by the FBI.

   This includes my OC from my other BG3 fic, Threadbare, starting in the second chapter of the fic, if Nora never left Earth.
