  Summary

  Astarion is struck down whilst the party is exploring the Shadow cursed Lands and ends up in a bad way. Unwittingly, he is left to hang up his pride and accept his companion's help. But after 200 years of near constant pain, he finally discovers that it can be more bearable if you have people, and perhaps a specific someone, to help you through it.

  aka: Astarion is injured, becomes ill, and (mostly) Tav takes care of him.
