Tell me every terrible thing you did, and let me love you anyway. -Edgar Allan Poe These are the adventures and misadventures of our favorite group of adventurers from Baldur's Gate 3 (a game that belongs to Larian Studios and which I own no rights to) as told through my Tav's eyes. It does follow along with the game, but the main focus is the romantic build up between Tav and Astarion. Along with extra bits added into the mix for additional story telling, more opportunities for bonding, and more intimate scenes between the characters as a spark of romance grows between Tav, and the mysterious elf Astarion. Not to mention, more chances for Tav to fight against the wretched evil growing inside of her only known as The Dark Urge. Come along with Tav, and the rest of the party on this adventure to Baldur's gate to rid herself of the mind flayer parasite in her head, as she finds friendship, love, and her own inner strength along the way. WARNING: Mature content ahead - strong language, descriptions of blood, violence, and suggestive scenes abound, as the story flows the game play closely. On that note, I must also warn you that this story is teaming with spoilers. In fact, the entire story is nothing if not one massive, walking spoiler. So if you haven't played the game yet, or completed it, and do not want spoilers, I high suggest you put off reading this until you've finished the game. Alternatively, if you're looking for a fun fanfic that follows the story line without having to put in the effort to play the game, then you're in luck. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy!

Vanora felt weak as she laid on the ground, a piercing migraine in the back of her eye throbbing to her rapid heartbeat. As she stood up to orient herself, she had a hard time adjusting her eyes to the sunlight above her. The ocean was calming, and she closed her eyes to listen closer to the shushing of the waves, and smell the salt in the air. Regaining her strength, she opened her eyes once more. The land was unfamiliar, rocky shores and lush grasses weren't anything she was used to. Where was she? As she looked around, she noticed a large crash site very close by. She stood up, breathlessly looking over the ship. "You seem far from home." {#1 in ASTARION: 9/18/23} {#1 in BG3: 9/18/23}
