    Summary

    Gale looked down from the heavens as Astarion frantically hit Tav on the chest, pressing his bleeding arm to her blue lips, desperately trying anything to bring her back.

    Astarion sobbed and yelled at the sky, holding Tav's wet, bruised, and bleeding body on the rocky shores where she had washed up.

    With a sudden gasp, Tav's head rose with a choking sound. Astarion immediately reached to hold her head up, pushing the sopping wet hair away from her face.

    Tav looked up at Astarion with a question in her eyes, but all he could do was pull her into an embrace as he sobbed and held her.

    Gale waved and the image disappeared, once again alone in his tower in the Astral Plane.

    He should have left it at that, he knew that she was alive, confirmed that sending her soul back had worked. He should have been able to move on, let her live her life with Astarion, and forget all about the mortal girl he used to love.

    He should feel happy for her second chance of life, proud of his ability to so easily take her memories of him, wiping her mind clean of how he had destroyed her.

    So then why did he feel completely and utterly devastated?

    Summary

    Tav is a bhaalspawn. She was made to be used. Not to choose. Not to wonder. Not to want.

    Gale disagrees—especially regarding the latter.

    Or: After the defeat of the Netherbrain, Withers places a majorly suicidal and unkillable Tav into Gale’s care. You know, for fate reasons.

    Summary

    A year has passed since Tav and her companions defeated the Netherbrain. Starting a new life in Waterdeep with Gale, Tav tries to move forward with her partner. Unfortunately, her decision to help ascend Astarion during their adventure has plagued her with remorse, haunting her almost every night.

    Little does she know, her ex-lover feels trapped in the past as well. Tav had ended their fling with compassionate intent, thinking he needed a friend and not a lover. In his ascended form, Astarion sees the world plainly: You either want him, fear him, or are mocking him. His resentment and sense of humiliation festers into something unbearable as he imagines Tav's perfect life with her new lover. He decides to take back what he sees as his...

    Summary

    In which Tav believes the latest symptom of her grief is the hallucination of her lost love.

    Or, Gale finds himself unexpectedly resurrected.

    ------

    Gods, she hates him. Hates him bitterly for leaving her behind. And Gods, how she loves him, still. Enough to have dragged herself to Waterdeep, as per his wishes. Enough to have let Tara coddle her those first few days. Enough to have sobbed into Morena Dekarios’ waiting arms. Enough to speak to him every evening from the balcony he had promised they would share. Enough to have started reading each of his books, knowing his fingers had touched every page. Enough to imagine all the ways he might’ve reacted to the news of his impending fatherhood. The latter she lingers on more than she would like, for it only gives way to other, saccharine fantasies she knows will never come to fruition.
