  • canon divergence kind of
  • Starts in the right place ends somewhere else
  • mostly one off scenes after the opening chapters because I have no need to write the whole game
  • half drow bard Tav
  • nameless tav
  • Lots of Gen with full party bonding
  • Depictions of depersonalization and derealization
  • also trauma
  • But if you're playing BG3 you're likely not unfamiliar with trauma
  • Also romance is somehow slower burn than the game
  • Literally I was the worst BG3 player in existence
  • Poor Tav reflects my ineptitude

  Summary

  She was just a traveling bard before the Nautiloid. Now she has a lot on her mind . . . and in it.

  Set of connected fics set with the same Tav during the BG3 campaign. Astarion romance, canon divergence to let her have her own character quest and storyline, and lots of the other characters as well because I genuinely adore all of them.
