    Summary

    “Tav is an intelligent person," Gale said, "and I trust it won’t take long for them to see the truth.”

    “Oh? And what’s that?”

    “You don’t care about them.”

    Gale looked at him again, more closely this time. His eyes lingered on the recline of Astarion’s body, traveled upwards—only to pause where fangs glinted in a wide grin.

    “Spare me the righteous indignation, wizard. It’s clear you care for our little sorcerer even less.”

    “I’m falling in love with them,” Gale answered, snippy. Quick. Still staring at Astarion’s teeth.

    Summary

    Gale had desperately clasped Astarion's wrist, preventing him from fully wrenching away. From fleeing. And for a brief moment Astarion was ready to lash out with all of the feral fury a starving spawn had to offer.

    The memory of that scorching touch was like a scar. The imprint of his lightly calloused, bare palm on Astarion's slender wrist was an invisible, white-hot brand upon his flesh. It was only Gale's wide, worried eyes and immediate surrender of Astarion's captured limb that saved him from being torn to ribbons by long-forgotten vampiric claws.

    He loathed it. Touching and being touched.

    People did not touch Astarion and survive.

    Astarion did not touch people destined to live.

    ---

    Astarion has a complicated relationship with physical touch. It brings up a wellspring of memories best left forgotten, and he doesn't even know if he could enjoy it anymore should he ever let anyone close enough to try... or five times Astarion sees Gale being held and has a lot of difficult feelings about it + the one time he does it himself and knows exactly how he feels about it.

    Summary

    Like most of Gale’s problems since the Nautiloid, this whole mess is Tav’s fault. He doesn’t know exactly what Tav told Astarion when Gale was out of the room, but he trusts that they didn’t betray his confidence. Probably.

    Whatever it is has made Astarion act even stranger than normal and it is threatening Gale’s very carefully curated compartmentalization of his feelings for the man.

    Summary

    “So you should be able to come now that the orb is stabilized, right?”

    After more than a month of travelling together, he has yet to have a conversation with Astarion which did not induce whiplash. It just typically happens in the middle of a conversation. It doesn’t set him at ease to have it happen up front. Heat crawls up his face and he sits up because he’s not sure lying down while having whatever in the Hells this conversation is going to be is advisable.

    “You know, most people announce themselves before entering someone else’s tent, and perhaps even start conversations with a greeting,” Gale scolds, snapping his book shut.

    Astarion plasters on one of his sharpest artificial smiles and says, with that pleasant, hollow affect he knows Gale can’t stand, “Hello, Gale. What do you think about this weather we’re having? Shadows with a chance of raving cultists for the foreseeable future! Now will you answer my question?”

    Summary

    There are few people in the world more annoying than Astarion, but unfortunately he also happens to be the only vampire Gale has ever met. Gale is nothing if not a scholar. And so what if he stares at the fangs a little bit too long?

    Summary

    “You,” he says, and gods help him but Astarion has missed that smug little note of ah-hah! in his voice, “came here to rescue me!”

    “I,” Astarion sniffs, “came here to save the illustrious and noble city of Waterdeep. Anticipating a generous reward, naturally.”

    “You're here for me,” Gale insists, still grinning. His eyes are shining.

    He looks so fucking radiant, it makes Astarion want to stab something.

    In which Astarion saves the day, and Waterdeep, and Gale. That last one is completely incidental, you understand. And no, he is not lying to himself, darling. That you would even suggest such a thing.

    Summary

    “Your girl… she didn’t survive the attack, right?” Henry nods. “I’m… sorry. Were you serious about each other?”

    Henry shrugs. “As serious as two young people that haven’t known any sorrow are. We haven’t thought about what we want after, haven’t thought about future at all. But we were sweet on each other and spent a lot of time together. It was… I’m glad I experienced that before the peaceful part of my life was over.”

    Or, how women in Henry's life shaped his mind and heart, and how Hans was there at the very end.

    Summary

    The way his nose crinkles a bit when he laughs. The little creases by his eyes when he smiles. His blushes reaching all the way to his ears, as red as his forge’s fire. The way his voice, already warm, sounds warmer, hearthfire in winter. The way he curls up in Hans’ arms, sighing blissfully, while Hans holds him close and breathes him deep, smoke-scented. The whole world feels a little brighter, then, glowing like a blade on Henry’s anvil as he shapes it into something beautiful.

    Hans considers the places that cling to Henry's skin.

    Summary

    “I wish to see him,” Hans said.
    Lord Velek’s smile did not quite fade. “I fear that would be unwise. An infection set into his wounds, and the fever has only just been brought down.”
    He held Hans’ gaze.
    “Master Henry is, for the moment, a guest under my protection. I cannot in good conscience allow him to be disturbed while he recovers.”

    Henry once rescued Hans from Maleshov with sword and dagger in hand.

    Hans will rescue Henry from Borovice with but a smile.

    Summary

    It is not only Henry and Hans as men who have been irrevocably altered by the course of the war, their relationship is not the same as it had been under Rattay’s open skies. Where misfortune had once forged their bond in steel, recent events have tampered their strength, reformed their connection down to its very foundation. It is frightening to be cast into such uncertainty where once they had been steadfast, and yet there is still hope simmering within Henry’s heart. The day is not over yet. And in the stagnant heat of Bohemia’s summer, it is enough to be here together, safe and alive.
    ___

    The aftermath of Suchdol. Henry and Hans picking up the pieces and seeing how they fit together.

    Summary

    “There you are, sir, I was looking for you,” Henry's voice cut through the haze of Hans’s modest inebriation. Like a torch in the distance on a foggy night, a guiding light forward. “I promised I'd have a look at that shoulder of yours, my lord.”

    “You needn’t have left the festivities behind on my account, dear Hal.” Hans let a little friendly mockery seep into his voice, a clever sort of verbal armour he'd developed where nothing he said could ever be taken seriously.

    Henry approached, pulling up the other chair to sit beside Hans, a little closer than he would if there were others around, but he wouldn’t look at him as he spoke. “No point of a party without you there.”

    Summary

    Hans slides his braies and his hose off in one motion, wiggling side-to-side in a display that feels intentional. Especially in how it makes his arse jiggle.

    "Are you sure we came here to teach me how to swim?" Henry asks, question laden with scepticism.

    "Quite certain!" comes the cheery reply. "Don't get any ideas, blacksmith's boy!"


    One sunny day, Hans teaches Henry something new.
