Thrown into the life of an adventurer, Victoria, a doctor and necromancer with obsessions as sharp as her blades, finds herself on the receiving end of Astarion's attention. Her interests pull her towards him, but to keep it purely stoic is a struggle. Halsin offers a sanctuary for the imperfect goodness only he can see in her, while Astarion grants her the freedom to become her most dangerous self. Both steer her towards warring fronts, while she tries to fit in the common ground of their affection.

"Darling, if you insist on playing hero. Don't count me in." - Astarion
Esme, another poor unfortunate soul that was abducted by the Mind Flayers. Before being abducted, Estel was on the search to finding her parents. That had long ago abandoned her at a random strangers doorstep.
But now, her journey wouldn't continue. As she has a new quest and many more to complete, in order to find a healer to get the disgusting worm creature out of not only her head, but also her allies that later become friends.
However, more things occur. Perhaps, romantic feelings start to grow between a certain Vampire. So how exactly is Esme going to handle this full plate of a mess?
