Summary
Astarion gets the idea to use the illithid tadpole's powers to try and access some of Whisper's forgotten memories. Unfortunately, diving into Whisper's mind allows his own memories to be shared through the connection in return. There's a lot of pain in both of their pasts, and it's very easy to get swept up in the memories.
Part of a series, but can be read on its own.
-----
Whisper hesitated. Other than mild telepathy among the party, she’d used the tadpole’s power deliberately only once: against a goblin to allow the party to walk into the goblin camp unchallenged. The power it gave her to command others was intoxicating, and frightening.
But this would be different, wouldn’t it? She and Astarion wouldn’t be using it to exert control. It would be with permission to just dig through memories. And if it was successful, everyone just might be a little safer around her.
“Okay, let’s try it,” Whisper agreed.
Astarion walked past her and opened up the flap of her tent, motioning for her to lead the way inside. “Let’s get comfortable for this,” he suggested.
