Summary
What if the person who helped make Astarion into an at least semi-functional person was just suddenly... gone? What would he do then?
This is a post-canon exploration of just that!
It starts off not that long after the victory over the brain, sadly Karlach flipped a soul coin and decided to burn up instead of going on a romantic Avernus trip with Astarion, so now he's trying to figure out how to be a person all on his own.
Shit.
What will Astarion (and I guess the other less important people) left behind do now?
Especially when events conspire to force Astarion to re-examine his feelings about his not-siblings under Cazador and to stop pulling away from his traveling companions. They are only being nice to him because that is what she would want... right?
AKA We see how Astarion becomes the spawn you can meet at the epilogue party, if you did not romance him. Also he gets forced to admit he has FRIENDS. (Eventually.)
You can see the tags, he's not really on his own. This is a good thing, despite how much he whines about it.
