Summary
For many decades, Rhyme's life hasn't exactly been a stroll in the park. After escaping her tormentors, defeating the Netherbrain, and finally regaining her body half a year later, she is now happily married to Gale and enjoying the quiet, almost boring days of domesticity. Life is better than it has ever been.
So what if the little magic home improvements that Gale has installed start failing one by one? That's nothing to be upset or worried about… right?

Summary
When the entire camp falls prey to a mysterious illness that does not react to healing magic, Lae'zel is many things, but most of all she is annoyed. Exceedingly so. Who has the time to be sick, when there's training to be done and enemies to be slayed? As she grapples with her own susceptibility to Faerûnian infections, she discovers aspects of her companions she may have been oblivious to for a while now.

Summary
Afterwards, Astarion wasn't sure who voiced the idea first.
“We should make a tradition out of this gathering!”
It spread like wildfire. Wherever he looked, cups were being raised in enthusiastic agreement.Astarion has been leading the spawn in the Underdark, while Halsin has been taking care of the newly founded community in Reithwin. Six months after the defeat of the Elder Brain, they meet again at Withers' reunion party, where everyone decides to make a yearly event out of it.
One year later, Astarion is still struggling with finding his place in the world, and doesn't know if he should attend at all. -

Summary
“I'm so sorry to cause all this trouble,” Halsin said, handing him the empty mug.
“Will you stop apologizing already? Yes, you are sick, and I am not, for whatever unfathomable reason.” Astarion still couldn't quite grasp the fact that of all people, he was now the camp's caretaker. “Everyone else has accepted their fate and is resting. You should do the same.”
A mysterious sickness is spreading in Baldur's Gate. Though not deadly, it does not react to any of the usual healing spells and potions. Soon it becomes apparent that the whole party is infected, too - except for Astarion, who takes on the role of camp's caretaker (albeit clumsily). A few days later, everyone slowly gets better. Halsin... doesn't.

Summary
In the crumbling depths of the Underdark, Astarion has carved out a fragile sanctuary for the spawn he freed—and now leads. Gale, no longer a divine errand boy and with no adventure left to occupy him, arrives seeking purpose—and finds only rot. He tells himself it’s altruism. It might even be friendship. But Gale’s never been good at lying, not even to himself.
Can he survive what the Underdark demands of him? What Astarion wants from him? Or is he simply chasing redemption in all the wrong places?

Summary
“Isobel?” Astarion’s voice sliced through her daze. She was daydreaming, tickling Astarion’s arms as he laid on his stomach on the massage table. She wandered off at some point after they spoke about more of his trauma. Again, it was a little bit, just a hint of what he’d gone through, but it was enough to trigger her to be overwhelmed.
It wasn’t like her to be so connected to a client.
------------Isobel is a trauma informed massage therapist, and one of her clients is giving her feelings...that client? Astarion. Being married to her first love, Aylin, makes emotions even more confusing. Who does she love? What even IS this she's feeling for Astarion?

“I cared about you, once,” Wyll said. “Truly.”
“A pity,” Astarion sneered, batting his eyelashes, still venomous even though he was pinned to the floor. “I thought you were smarter than that.”

…I find the world oddly quiet without the bickering of Lae’zel and Shadowheart. I often think I see Karlach or Wyll dancing at the edges of my vision but my eyes never find them. Every time someone asks a question I find myself pausing, expecting Gale to answer. And I still look up, searching for your eyes…Bookmarked by JetTheRooster

Summary
“I call upon every spirit departed and nearly-departed, the damned and the divine, those at peace and those in torment—hear me! I seek Gale Dekarios, a wizard and Chosen to the Mother of Magic, a hero to the Sword Coast, a man whose fate it was to be sacrificed upon the alter of devotion.”
Astarion visits the Mystic Carrion for a séance in the hopes of contacting what’s left of Gale’s soul. The appointment leaves him haunted.
