Summary
[Wiktionary] Corposant (Noun): An electrical discharge accompanied by a corona of ionization in the surrounding atmosphere – Synonyms: Saint / St. Elmo's fire
A pragmatic mind flayer and an unusual, unpredictable captive turn out to have a lot more in common than they thought. They both have damaged cognition and memories, and they both have things to run from. They have a lot of reasons to not trust each other but neither has any better options. They manage to escape the subterranean research laboratory together but the rest of the underdark just has different problems and the overbright isn't actually better. Slow burn antagonism to partnership where one is a volatile inhuman entity and the other has tentacles.
I had JUST finished the last three chapters when the archive went down and I'm kinda mad I'm not getting to share them so here I am. Tagging BG3 b/c FR is the same universe and I know y'all freaks will like some tentacles. I do have the entire rest of the story plotted out and the spicy bit written (there's just a few unfinished chapters that happen first). Comment if you want to know how it ends in exchange for beta reading! Seriously somebody talk to me about this before I lose momentum again.
