Summary
Fresh off a too-close-for-comfort victory at Baldur’s Gate, (and the equally humbling loss of most of his god-tier power), Gale Dekarios finds himself returned to something far more dangerous than divinity: himself. With ambition responsibly downsized and hubris placed on a strict diet, he determines there are only three things he truly requires in order to restore balance to his life.
Rebuild his tower. See his mother. And...Romance you, the actual love of his life.
The first two are straightforward.
The third is complicated by two minor issues: you are impressively oblivious, and you are absolutely determined not to fall for him again. Undeterred, Gale resolves to approach the situation with patience, sincerity, and perhaps breakfast. After all, he has survived gods, Netherese artifacts, and his own poor decision-making.
Surely he can survive courting you.
Probably.

Summary
"It's over. I'm done with it," Astarion's voice was a broken whisper, barely audible over his sobs. He was speaking to himself, affirming the end of a chapter steeped in torment. The sight was heartbreaking. Sad. He knelt there for a moment, as if trying to believe what had happened.
Then, rising from the ground and lifting his bloodshot eyes to meet Tav's, his expression twisted into something bitter and cold. "And I'm done with you," he spat out venomously.
Tav's step faltered, her hand still suspended in the air. Confusion and hurt welled up inside her. "What?" she stammered, her mind racing to make sense of his words. He was in shock, surely. The trauma, the bloodshed, it had to be too much.
But Astarion's voice cut through her thoughts, icy and trembling with a raw edge of emotion she had never heard before. "I would say good luck out there, but honestly?" His gaze was piercing, unyielding. "I hope you die." The words slithered out like a curse, each syllable dripping with a venom that chilled her to the bone.
Astarion narrowed his eyes, leaned towards her and whispered ominously, only to her. “Screaming.”

Summary
gale starts writing because he’s dying—or might be. because the orb in his chest is hungry, because mystra still watches, because the weave is slipping through his fingers, because hating the storm-sorceress stopped being simple.
somewhere between the first page and the last, it stops being about dying at all.
(aka, a slow burn enemies to lovers arc between gale and a storm sorceress tav, told through gale’s journal entries)
