    Summary

    It had been ages but Astarion could still remember how Karsus looked, his warm brown hair and honeyed doe eyes. He was focused, he was arrogant, his ambition shone vibrant and blinding like the sun—and it was the curse of the vampire to be helplessly drawn to it.

    But here he was again, shiny and new, smiling at him, folding the ages they had been apart neatly underneath him as if his death had been a pause rather than an end. He looked so beautiful under the sun.

    That is, until-

    "Hello! I'm Gale of Waterdeep."

    Summary

    During the adventure with the Netherbrain, Astarion never imagined that he would find his soulmate in Gale Dekarios, Archmage of Waterdeep. He also never imagined that their time would be cut short by the wizard's sacrifice. A thousand years of existence later, Astarion has established himself as a professor at Balduran University, only to run into fellow professor Gale Dekarios, reincarnated. The catch? Gale does not share Astarion’s soulmark in this lifetime.

    or

    Even with the fates conspire against them, they find their way back together.

    Summary

    He had been quite handsome when he was young, he had to admit it. There was no mirror around at the moment, but Gale already knew what he would see in his reflection, every little change that came with age. He wasn’t bothered by it. Most of the time.

    Astarion was beautiful. But more than that, he was eternal. His beauty was that of the purest diamond, made to last forever, never to dim. Gale could spend hours — had spent hours — finding the most poetic sentences to describe it, and it would never be enough to do it justice.

    For the first time in decades, Gale wondered what Astarion saw in him.

    He didn’t doubt Astarion’s love, not one second, but he did wonder what his husband thought when he woke up to his side in the mornings.

    -

    As Gale finds a picture of his wedding with Astarion, more than fifty years ago now, he can't help but reminisce and think.

    Summary

    Astarion was not a hero but he was stubborn to the last and he was so damn tired of losing. He stood his ground, snarling in the face of his enemies as they descended upon him. Without the element of surprise and with no one else to distract them he was at a severe disadvantage. But he fought with the ferocity of a cornered animal, the option to run now so far from his mind that it may as well not have existed. He would live or die by his decision to stay.

    Summary

    Freshly de-orbed, and after Astarion tastes his blood for the first time, Gale is finally brave enough to tell Astarion about his deepest desire: to be bred.

    Hypothetically, of course. Gale's fully aware he can't get pregnant.

    Turns out the universe has other plans.

    Summary

    It’s not fair, Astarion finds himself thinking as he stares intently at Gale’s stupidly elegant hands, the professor gesticulating animatedly while talking about… something or other that Astarion could not bring himself to care about, let alone focus on, that he looks so goddamned hot explaining things.

    Or, Astarion has a thing for his friend and coworker's hands, as well as his overall competence, and things develop from there.

    Summary
