Summary
Whenever Faelyth thinks about her life before the nautiloid, she sees nothing but a great black void. With the darkness comes the Urge, its sinister compulsions and deplorable thoughts haunting her day and night. When she finally loses control and wakes to having brutally murdered an innocent, her world begins to unravel in earnest. And yet, as she tries to hide the bloody sin from her companions, she receives help from a most unusual source. Mercurial and arrogant at every turn, he is the last person she'd expect a selfless act from. Then again, Astarion always had a penchant for going against her expectations. Was it too much to hope that this tenuous bond between them might become strong enough to save her from herself?

Summary
Some part of him could picture it then, could imagine telling her everything - speaking til dawn on his whole history. Spending the next day in this same spot, diving into what he knew of hers. Asking how it felt to gore that bard. Instead, he mirrored her smile - his own wicked grin for seducing and scheming.
“I’ve wanted to taste you since I first felt that pretty neck under my blade.”
And as her head fell back in a laugh, the white expanse of her neck on full display at his easy, overused line, he watched the golden girl fall into the palm of his hand.

COMPLETED.Astarion had known the woman's face immediately - Halia Dhune, the golden daughter of Baldur's Gate. The princess of the upper city. How many times had Cazador sent him after her - wanting to claim the socialite as a trophy to add to his awful collection? At least now he wouldn't have to go back to his master empty handed, should the tadpole situation not work out in his favor.
(or: what if the Dark Urge was a noble woman, perfect and popular, and her father's favorite fox in the henhouse. and of course, what if our dear vampire knew of her before the crash?)
