Summary
There isn't a person in the world that Gale Dekarios can't teach to drive.
After a life-changing accident forced a late career change, Gale has successfully become the best (in his opinion) driving instructor in West London. Weave Driving School is no stranger to elite and wealthy clients, so it's hardly a surprise when a prominent lawyer hires Gale to teach his spoiled house husband. Gale has no reason to think that this new learner will be any different from the hundreds that have already climbed into his car.
After all, there isn't a person in the world that Gale Dekarios can't teach to drive. Until that is, he meets Astarion Szarr.

Summary
Like most of us, Strix was not excited to receive a jury summons in the mail. Why? Because jury duty is tedious and boring. But with a judge as preposterously hot, deliciously arrogant, and surprisingly literary as Justice Astarion Ancunín presiding, she's about to have quite a bit more fun doing her civic duty than she expected. Because there's nothing like a little kinky, illicit sex to spice up a tedious civil trial. And if a feeling or two is caught along the way, well... who are we to judge?
(Irreverent, kinky Judge Astarion porn, set in a modern AU; with an infusion of Baudelaire, and more emotional depth than the author initially anticipated.)

Summary
Baronet Dekarios is a man of science, but the supernatural is as much a science as anything else, isn't it? He's also a man in need of a new patron. So, when an old university friend offers entrance to a party held by one of England's most secretive societies — a club of the country's richest men, rumored to dabble in the occult and the satanic — he sees the opportunity to kill two metaphysical birds with one stone. And all he needs to do to gain entry is secure the approval of the club's mysterious leader, the enigmatic Lord Ancunin.

Summary
After leaving Szarr Entertainment in the wake of a tumultuous - deliberately engineered - scandal, Astarion Ancunín has rebuilt his acting career, from the blacklisted ground up. Through a heavily doctored narrative of queer reclamation, he's finally making a name for himself, and hoping to claim prestige (and maybe a few awards) through the leading role in a historical biopic about the openly gay elven oracle, Aerthwyn Capaxath.
The only problem is, Aerthwyn Capaxath is the worst person that ever lived (or died). Just ask Dr. Rosalie Frostsong, a thoroughly unwilling expert on the subject.

(A celebrity/academic, reluctant workplace allies turned friends-to-lovers, modern AU... a.k.a. the silliest thing i've ever written. I hope people enjoy!)

Summary
“Then I suppose I should be flattered that you sought me out, though I suspect it's more for my talents than my personality. What is it you need from me this time? I'm afraid if it's money I already emptied my purse. This is a fundraiser, after all.”
“Actually I need you to stage a breakup with me.”
Gale blinks at him.
“We aren't dating.”
“For one of Mystra's Chosen you can be so very dense, Gale. I said ‘stage’, didn't I? Obviously it's going to be fake.”
Gale gives this some consideration. Astarion is glaring at him, but there's a certain… edge to it. Something almost nervous.
“Who…” Gale begins slowly, “No, perhaps more pertinently, why have you told people that we are in what I presume is some kind of romantic and probably sexual relationship?”
“I haven't told anybody anything,” Astarion snips. “But I… may have allowed a few assumptions to go unchallenged, and it may have got slightly out of hand.”Bookmarked by CurlyChops

After a rather embarrassing experience at the reunion party, you have been nervous to see Astarion again. You manage to gather the courage to visit his tailoring shop for dress alterations—and to be a better friend to him.
And maybe there is just a little part of you that still hopes for something more.
But he couldn’t possibly want that—or could he?

Summary
Like most of Gale’s problems since the Nautiloid, this whole mess is Tav’s fault. He doesn’t know exactly what Tav told Astarion when Gale was out of the room, but he trusts that they didn’t betray his confidence. Probably.
Whatever it is has made Astarion act even stranger than normal and it is threatening Gale’s very carefully curated compartmentalization of his feelings for the man.

Summary
A wave of guilt crashed against Gale as he walked home. It was barely their first day together and he already brought so much danger to Astarion. He could only hope that this wouldn’t happen again, but knowing his line of work, it was highly unlikely. How much longer could he hide this?
That wasn’t a question he wanted an answer to. It had to be forever; Astarion could never see the blood on his hands.
The entire time Astarion cleaned the blood and mess in the room, his heart was hammering, ears twitching at any sound that might be Gale walking in. Guilt kept trying to worm its way into his head. Not even one day and already he was proving to be a massive danger to Gale. No, there was nothing he could do about it now. He needed to focus, he needed to hide this.
