Summary
The vampire's eyes are wide and round, full of amazement. They dart wildly around the sights below, as if trying to see everything at once. The lights of the city reflect upon his face, soft shadows dancing across his elegant features. The very tips of his fangs are visible from his parted lips.
The radiance of the city pales in comparison.
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧
Two months after the brain falls, Baldur's Gate has picked up most of the pieces. The heroes that saved Faerûn have been there through most of it, helping the city get back on its feet. But now it's time to move on. Old lives and families to return to. Gale is going back to his tower in Waterdeep, back to the quiet, back to being alone; or at least, that was the plan. But plans change.
This is a story about falling in love.

The Tower Librarian and the Vampire Spawn by agrazza

Summary
There is a wizard’s tower on the edge of the city.
To keep its vengeful inhabitant from destroying them all, monthly tributes must be made to placate the evil wizard's greed. When that duty falls to Cazador Szarr, he does not send jewels or magical artifacts, but his least-favorite spawn: Astarion, who goes, reluctantly, to his doom.
Meanwhile, Gale Dekarios realizes he should probably clear up that whole 'evil wizard' business; it seems to be causing some confusion in the neighboring city. But one more day with friendly company-- he hasn't talked to anyone other than Tara in ages-- couldn't hurt anything, right?

Summary
Astarion wouldn't dare compare Gale’s very clearly lovingly maintained kitchen to a campfire and a chest of pilfered cheese and stale bread. But the feeling of it, the easy companionship, sharing the day’s burden of woes with someone who understands? That's familiar. And that, he didn't even realise he missed. Only now, watching Gale potter around his kitchen and chatter in much the same way he used to potter around the cookpot, Astarion feels… settled.
Maybe even comfortable.
Oh.
Oh dear.
Before he can stand and take his leave, go back to the contract in Calimshan and pretend this embarrassing little episode never happened, Gale sets a goblet down in front of him.
Just in passing. Drops it off on his way to the teapot. Like he thinks nothing of it.
But it's blood. Fresh, too. Pig, if Astarion's nose can be trusted, which obviously it can. He takes a tentative sip. Then downs the rest before Gale has finished pouring his tea.
“It's warm,” Astarion says, nonplussed, staring at the now-empty goblet. It would be beneath his dignity to lick it. He's no starving wretch now. But it is tempting all the same.Bookmarked by JSherlock

Summary
Two months on the road. Two months of hiding in shaded alcoves and camping in abandoned homes; looking over his shoulder at every turn; fleeing when he spots someone with even a passing resemblance to his family; eating only when necessary to avoid leaving a trail of exsanguinated carrion in his wake; never trancing in the same place twice; doubling back to cover his tracks—all as the Sword Coast plunges deeper and deeper into winter. Astarion doesn't know where he's going but he knows he's not far enough away to stop moving.
When he meets an chatty innkeeper with a quick wit, a collection of strays, a dangerous secret, and a job offer, Astarion decides to stick around for a little while—just until he has enough coin to keep running.

Summary
Astarion tells himself he’s perfectly content as a lawyer. Gale, his newest client and a celebrity chef, claims he is just fine in the restrictive shadow of his ex-wife. But they both hunger for something… more. And appetites demand to be sated.
--
“You have nothing to worry about.”
Gale blinks. “You really think so?”
“Of course, darling. I wouldn’t have agreed to take the case if I wasn’t confident I could win it.” The lie comes easy, but what’s a bit of fibbing if it helps build client rapport? Even so, Astarion is taken aback when Gale’s eyes go wet and wide with relief.
“You have no idea what it means to hear that. Thank you.” Gale’s voice catches, unexpectedly raw.
Astarion doesn’t know what to do with that.

Disa leaned in and said kindly, ‘Why are you so afeared? I love you, nothing you can say can change that. Why has this got you so twisted up inside? I am here my love, I am not going anywhere, be bold, share with me.’
On the eve of their wedding, Durin finally tells Disa about Elrond.

Summary
''Never before had this place- his former realm- borne the smell of roses. Nor had the arid desert been threaded through with thorny vines, each laden with closed buds not yet ready to blossom.''
The Fulcrum had been abandoned for far too long. Sealed against outsiders, very few could see the state of Destruction's realm, but it was the only realm that didn't require a guide. At least, that's what everyone thought.
Except things in the human world were not moving as they should. Destruction became meaningless as more and more fell to ruin, and the creations it was meant to lead to never came to fruition. Three centuries passed, and then Destiny's Book revealed it was time for a new Endless to ascend and take up the Prodigal's abandoned role.

Summary
Dream Apeiron is an antique and art restorer who, for those in the know, specializes in cleansing cursed or haunted pieces. For years, he has buried himself in his work, avoiding all human connections outside of his clients and his business partner, Lucienne. That is until he is hired by a man named Roderick Burgess to stay at his abandoned family estate in Sussex and cleanse it of whatever has been killing Burgess men and forcing them to gouge out their own eyes.
Dream isn’t at Fawney Rig long before he begins to suspect the foundation of the manor is resting on an old, dark secret and that finishing the job will not only mean discovering its past, but confronting his own.

“It’s too bad you’re not secretly some rich fuck, laddie,” Seamus mused with his chin in his hand, “You could always just buy the place yourself, or build your own.”
Hob sat up so suddenly the barstool wobbled like the lip of a preschooler. The world only spun a little as he pointed a semi dramatic finger at Old Seamus. “That’s it Seamus, old chap! I’ll just buy the place!” Seamus of course only chuckled at him.
“Oh aye? With what, the vast wealth you’ve accumulated over an immortal lifetime? Yer drunk, boy.”Series

Summary
“Hob.” Dream could hear the waver in his voice. His body normally responded to his own desires, but here, it seemed to work against him. His throat was tight. It was all wrong, this was all wrong. This was not how it was supposed to go. “Hob, please.”
Still, his… his friend… ignored his presence.
TLDR;
Hob has started hallucinating his Stranger for the past seventy-odd years. When his Stranger actually turns up, he thinks it's another hallucination. Shenanigans ensue to get the pair on the same page.Updates Every Saturday (usually)

Summary
As long as Steven’s life remained mundane and didn’t cross into Marc’s extracurriculars, he had very little interest in keeping up with a socially awkward former gift shopist’s day-to-day. Needless to say it came as somewhat of a surprise to Marc when he woke up one night to see a brand new shiny black cellphone charging on Steven’s nightstand.
That was... something unexpected.

Summary
“I feel like literally, actually saving the world has given you unrealistic expectations. Most folks don’t need you to save the entire world on the regular, Sam," said Sarah.
“I hear you,” said Sam, rueful. He sighed and tipped his head back, pressing the heels of his hands against his eyes. “But I still kind of feel like I have to save the entire world, if I’m carrying this shield.”
“Sam,” said Bucky, and Sam lowered his hands and opened his eyes to look at him, only to find himself the subject of Bucky’s staring problem yet again. “Let’s just go out there. See who we can help, how."
Taking on the Captain America mantle is all well and good, but unfortunately, it quickly becomes pretty obvious to Sam that carrying the shield doesn't guarantee a paying gig as a superhero—at least, not any kind of job that fits with the kind of Cap Sam wants to be. But when it comes down to it, all Sam wants to do is use the shield to help people, so paying gig or not, he and Bucky set out on the road to do just that, and to figure out what kind of superheroes they want to be. Slowly but surely, they figure out just what kind of partners they want to be too. (Hint: it is not 'just a couple of guys.')
