Summary
When their heartbeats settle and the city's smog gives way to sparkling tavern ales and joyous laughter, the Iron Throne's saviors seek revelries to forget the responsibilities that still weigh heavy on their shoulders.
Gale's palm lingers in Shadowheart's. There's a hesitancy there, wrapped up in promises of silk and kisses sweeter than any mead.
Upstairs in the Elfsong, Astarion’s fingers brush Jaheira’s as they share a hookah pipe and turn-of-the-century tales– waiting to tease the two eager knocks at their doors.
All four find their bliss bathed in smoke.

Summary
There’s been no one since Mystra but Mystra. There haven’t even been fantasies about anyone else since Mystra.
And then there's Shadowheart.
-
Gale was isolated for a long time. And it was a bad break-up. And Shadowheart is very beautiful. That she's Sharran is neither here nor there.

Summary
“It’s different from Waterdeep. Good. But it’s still a university. And being an academic is still a job, no matter how much some like to pretend it is much more.”
“That’s…” Tav breathed in no small amount of surprise, “not what I was expecting.”
“Hm?”
“You just strike me as someone who is very… attached to their academic persona. I was sure you’d rank ‘Doctor Dekarios’-ing quite highly among your favorite pastimes.”
-
Tavelle is a disillusioned grad student on the cusp of finishing her doctorate in Interdisciplinary Magics. Gale is a new Wizardry professor looking for happiness after his life falls to pieces.
Inside and outside of the university apparatus, they find their way. Together.

Summary
In his reckless youth, Gale once read a book on forest fires.
A triptych on the theme of intimacy. Necessity begets invention, after all, and there is no force quite so creative as that of lovers inventing the art anew.
Or: two ticking time bombs make it work, and then some.

Bookmarker's Notes
Gale + Karlach gentle and sweet and insanely good characterization of both. I love it when I find fics of two characters I wouldnt expect together and see someone make it work and convert me.

Summary
She will burn the nest of poison vipers that calls itself House Baenre to the ground and their monstrous goddess with them. She will take control, reshape their world in her image, and she will smile as her mother rots in a sunlit flowery grave.
And then, once their conquest is complete, she will return to Waterdeep with her wizard and lay in this bed with him (annoyed, because he didn’t close the curtains properly and the sun is creeping in through the crack). It will be so, it will be good.

Summary
These days, most everybody in camp had learned to wave away Astarion’s advances with a laugh. They found the flirtation titillating, Gale figured, or a bit threatening, or some combination of the two. He wondered if anybody else found it sad.
--
Good old-fashioned rumination on choice and compulsion. Gale and Astarion shake off their metaphorical shackles. -

Summary
“First of all, virginity is a made up concept that could mean anything. Second, no, I’ve never slept with anyone who had never done it before.”
“Wrong,” Raihan chimed in.
“Beg your pardon?” Sonia glared at him.
“I said,” Raihan took a long swig of his drink. “You’re wrong. I must’ve really impressed you if you didn’t know.”Bookmarked by Fricking
