   Summary

   The Netherbrain is defeated. The Sword Coast is safe. So... now what?

   Picking up right after the Brain's defeat, this story follows Astarion and Eve (The Dark Urge) as they try to figure out how to live a semi-normal life after saving the world and nearly dying a hundred times in the process. A cozy, domestic fic where these two get the happy ending they deserve.
