   Summary

   At first, Astarion finds his partner’s generous and gentle attitude toward their love life soothing. After 200 years of pure shit, it was refreshing to be able to demand things for once, to be cared for. Slowly, it begins to wear on him and he begins to test a theory: that his partner might have some darker fantasies about him. It’s fine, though. He’s experienced it all before, he knows he can survive pain. Astarion’s goes in willing to pay the old price to keep this new kindness. He’ll come out with a new relationship to 3 bad memories.
