Summary
This wasn't the calm, unruffled wizard that he knew. No, at this moment, Gale was a force of nature itself, a pillar of energy and unstoppable power.
OR: Gale runs out of spells and is forced to defend Astarion with his quarterstaff in the middle of battle. It's surprisingly hot.

Summary
Astarion hangs at the back of the crowd, his little arms folded across his chest while he does his best to appear grumpy. Grumpy is better than nervous, or scared, or any number of other big feelings that always seem to get him into trouble. And maybe if he acts cranky enough, the others will just leave him alone.
OR: Astarion and Gale attend their first swimming lesson with the rest of their class. Astarion is far from pleased (blame that on his dad), but Gale is excited.

Summary
Astarion's skin—his flawless, pale skin—now glittered like a thousand tiny stars had been embedded into his very pores. Every light caught on him, from the miniature alchemical brazier to Gale’s conjured candles to the moon’s glow filtering down from the sky. With every movement, the vampire’s skin shimmered brightly, as though he were a creature composed of pure magic.
Rather than create a Potion of See Invisibility, the wizard seemed to have turned his lover into a walking disco ball.
OR: Gale's latest alchemical experiment goes awry, and Astarion happens to be in the crossfire. Whoops.

Summary
The fact that it stood alone in the center of a room, clearly intended to draw the attention of anyone who stumbled upon it, should have been a clue that something wasn't right. But Gale was curious, and Astarion rarely passed up a chance to examine something shiny, so in they went.
OR: Gale and Astarion find a strange relic in a room of a forgotten ruin, one with a haunting tune that threatens to strip away their mental walls and expose a well-kept secret.

Summary
One moment, they stood atop a cliff in the Underdark, fending off a pair of hook horrors.
The next, the ground beneath them gave way and sent them plummeting with a deafening crack.
Dirt and stone shattered in all directions, and before Gale could even react, the ground ravenously swallowed them whole. He landed hard, the breath knocked from his chest as falling dust and debris filled the air above him.
OR: Gale and Astarion fall into a sinkhole during a battle in the Underdark, leaving the pair trapped. Astarion doesn't react well.
