   Summary

   Astarion’s confession scene hits a little different this time around.

   Lots of angst. Lots of pining.
   “It’s gotta hurt so it can heal.”

   Written in first person. This is shaping up to be an “Insert Your Own Tav” adventure. The only physical description of Tav in 69 chapters is “shorter than Astarion”.

   Any smut is plot relevant.

   Dead Dove is not in effect until Chapter 69.

   My headcanon is that this is a female Tav hence the tag.

    

   I love feedback so please feel free to give me validation! 😂
   Please be nice - I’ve never written fanfic before.
