   Summary

   A love letter to and a character study of Selunite!Shadowheart, Spawn!Astarion and Romanced!Gale

   What goes through Tav‘s mind as they stand at the shore of the morphic brine pool, facing what they fear the most – losing those they love the most in this world.
   And they contemplate their shared love and journey that brought them to this point that could be the end of everything. Or their greatest victory…
   (Unnamed Tav, no pronouns)
   [Second chapter is the same OS, but heavily edited/revisioned. Original OS is T rated, the upgraded version M and has a different ending! Also Karlach angst in the edited version!]
