   Summary

   Astarion had spent centuries surviving Cazador and then immediately spent months surviving tadpoles and a crazy cult. But now… there was no Master, tadpole, Emperor nor Nether Brain. Now, he was left in the aftermath of overwhelming space to process his trauma and heal; how could he overcome his destructive thoughts and find agency? How does he survive the new world when it comes crashing down in blood and flames once more?

   The answer is simple: Gale Dekarios. Leave it to the former Archmage to help Astarion pick up the pieces from the rubble of ash and bone.
