  1. Summary

    “He was so eager to do anything to gain forgiveness. So desperate. And at the same time so dispendable. I knew the feeling well. He was enslaved. Groomed. Used. My master at least gave me the dignity to not pretend to love me. To not make me believe that this was normal. I loved him then. Gale. And I knew that there wasn’t space for anyone but Mystra. Anything but that strive for power for something to set him free and give him dignity.”

    Nothing survived ascencion. Not quite as it had been. No guilt, certainly. No shame. Not the pain and scars and fears, Cazador had instilled in him for two centuries.
    But something was there and it did not feel like an echo or a warped memory. It felt evolved. It felt like something that had grown teeth.

    “I think” Astarion said and it was in a whisper, because all secrets should be whispered, “I love him still.”

    Summary

    Astarion’s voice is pitched low and vicious, chilling Gale to the bone. “You’ll find there’s very little not in my power anymore, wretch.” He spits the insult with vitriol. But the tone is familiar, the same cadence and texture as when Gale is on his knees with Astarion’s cock down his throat. It is alarming.

     

    ✧・✧・✧・✧・✧・✧・✧

    Months after the fall of the Netherbrain, a Gale who chose to remain mortal starts to understand the consequences of encouraging Astarion to Ascend.

    Summary

    Settling himself against the counter, arm wrapped around his stomach, he watched as Gale idly set up the station to his liking. He admired how he took the time to take note of where things were in this little kitchen, muttering to himself as he took mental inventory of things he may or may not need, depending on what the recipe for the evening was.

    It was charming, watching Gale in what Astarion could only assume was the man’s natural habitat. There was a calm that seemed to take over the other. An easy sort of mood radiated from the other while he donned the apron offered, taking a moment to redo his hair into that usual half bun Astarion rather enjoyed. It was the way those shorter strands would sometimes slip free, hanging just above his eyes. The sight of them had Astarion’s hand twitching, fighting the urge to reach out and brush them from the man’s forehead.

    The middle of a cooking class was not the time nor place to test temptation.
