Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

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.

Summary
“How old are you, Astarion?”
Astarion is not expecting the question, Halsin can tell by the way he jerks upright, spine straight, shoulders strong.
“Two-hundred-and-forty,” he answers without hesitation. “Give or take a few years.”
Halsin swallows, rewords his question. “How old were you when you were turned?”
Astarion goes quiet. Extremely, cacophonously quiet.
“Thirty-nine,” he finally says, a bolt straight into Halsin’s heart.
-
Halsin discovers Astarion was turned before his maturity and all the sacred elven rites that come along with it. Including the sex one.

I Don't Want You Like A Best Friend by Gewhana for baldurs-gape (connorssock)

Summary
"That bad?" Astarion teases, shifting to lean into Gale's space. Not that there's much of it to begin with in this cramped booth.
Gale didn't expect Astarion to follow him when he fled the dance floor after a few minutes of clumsy, half-hearted shuffling. Gale isn't the type of person who goes out drinking and dancing, but this is Astarion's element. Normally he'd be flitting around the bar, all sly smiles and pale, effervescent skin shining under strobe lights.
"That bad," Gale affirms with mock-seriousness. "It's cruel and unusual punishment to drag an introvert to a place like this."
-OR-
Gale and Astarion leave together, with very different ideas in mind.

Summary
"In an effort to distract himself for the odd feeling of the situation, he occupied himself by looking over the papers spread out in front of him once again. He had looked them over a number of times already since Elias had first handed them to him, trying to wrap his head around the it all properly. To say that Jon had been a bit taken aback when he’d been informed that Elias had hired an assistant for him would have been an understatement."

Jon is a writer, stuck working for Elias. Martin is his assistant, also stuck working for Elias. Feelings ensue. A Victorian era AU JMart romance.Bookmarked by LabRatsCheese
