It’s late at night and a storm rages outside of Astation’s home in Baldur’s Gate as he sits in bed and reads a book, his beloved sleeping next to him.

Astarion takes a peek at his sleeping lover with fondness in his eyes, though his smile fades when he sees that they seem to be having a bad dream.
