    Summary

    Zelda understood the disconnect he felt from his rage. That was Gorgug freshman year, primal rage battling gnomish positivity. But he doesn't feel that disconnect anymore. Sure, it's complicated, but Gorgug can reliably reach for the instinct that simmers low in him, and he can use it to protect his friends. He can also use it to have a fun wrestling match. It doesn't have to be separate from the part of him that supports and defends the people he cares about. In fact, he's not sure it could be separate now.

    He wonders if Zelda would understand that. He knows, without question, that Ragh already does.

    (Or: Gorgug and co. are in a time stop for seven days. Which is enough time to get over your breakup, make a new best friend, learn a lot about your van, have a conversation about religion, and maybe kiss that boy you like. Maybe.)

    Summary

    In which Astarion is an ex-olympic figure skater and Gale is a famous musician. They get paired together as Dancing on Ice's first ever same sex couple. Shenanigans ensue.

    -

    “How did you even get in? I very definitely remember locking up.”

    “Ah,” Gale looks ever-so-slightly abashed. Only slightly, though. Mostly he looks a little proud of himself. “You know how the receptionist is always asleep?”

    Astarion's eyebrows shoot up.

    “Gale Dekarios, you shady thing.”

    “I only borrowed it! He's never been awake enough to ask about spares, so. It was easier to just sort it out myself.”

    “It would have been easier to ask me,” Astarion points out.

    “Mmmm,” Gale hums, doubtfully. “I don't know if I'd ever consider you the ‘easier’ option, Astarion, I feel that would be doing your commitment to cantankerousness a great disservice.”

    I'd be extremely easy if you weren't so fucking annoying, Astarion thinks.

    Summary

    Astarion ascends, Tav takes control of the brain and enslaves them all, and Gale sacrifices himself to save everyone from being under Tav's control. But things can't end like that, can they?
    Gale blinks and finds himself back at square one with an overwhelming amount of knowledge, a hungry Netherese blight in his chest, and friends who no longer remember him.
    Or... Gale is like basically a fortune-teller.

    I suppose this is a slow burn. I sort of modeled it off of the game's pacing, so that's why.

    Guess who has a sequel!!

    Summary

    “Today is full of surprises,” The wizard says. “Who knows? I had to try my hand at the notion I was in the presence of the few. It seems I’ll have to find a healer the harder way. Are you all aware of the timer we are on? With the insertion of an illithid tadpole, a process known as ceremorphosis begins…”
    Astarion tunes him out. He no longer doubts that Gale is just an oddly-equipped human; surely no divine entity could be this annoying.

    ***

    When an interesting mage joins their tadpole-ridden party, Astarion is bound to be curious. Vampire, angel. Snake, bird. Forsaken, divine. It would be so easy to slip.
