Summary
No matter the circumstance, he couldn’t tear the thought of that erstwhile deity from his mind. The very first of his spawn, the one who dared escape his clutches the first chance he got, the ungrateful little wizard.
Gale stalked his every waking thought; he could hear his whispered mocking laughter in his ear when he draped himself in finery to step into the sun, heard his pedantic voice barking in his mind whenever he found himself making any sort of administrative or grammatical error… he could almost feel his breath against his neck whenever he came. No matter how far back in his mind he tried to push the wizard, he continued to tease at him, lurking just out of sight. Out of reach…
Months after the defeat of the Absolute, the Vampire Lord Astarion heads to a newly forged Galerian temple in Amn to reclaim what is rightfully his.

Summary
The hand removed itself from his forehead. “Temperature is normal,” Gale announced, before using its fingers to gather some stray drool that had trailed down Astarion’s jaw. Before Astarion could register the pitiful jolt of arousal at the sudden skin contact or the sheer absurdity of what Gale was doing, Gale had stuck its fingers in its mouth.
“What the —”
“No new bacteria detected,” Gale went on, “Ruling out food poisoning.”
“Oh, Gods,” Astarion groaned. “And to think that these things are what’s sending our workforce into a tizzy. What next, 'droid? Are you about to give me a rectal examination too?”
“There is no need for one at the moment,” Gale said, confused. “Unless you are seeking prostate stimulation—”
“No!”
Amidst the softly thrumming melancholy of a dystopian, cyber-punk city, former corporate-rat Astarion Ancunín, who has long since lost the will to live, finds himself in possession of a G-413 or "Gale" - an amnesiac android who, strangely enough, enjoys living.

Summary
Gale wants to write to his dear friend Shadowheart, but Astarion is demanding his attention.
"Who's the mail from? Some crotchety, old wizard colleague from who-cares-where?"
"Shadowheart. She's made herself a home in Silverymoon, by the sound of it."
"Mm, good to hear," Astarion murmurs, half-listening. He's trying again to rile Gale up into something. Lips are pressing open-mouthed kisses along his neck, spending extra time to suck against the rugged, marred skin where Astarion used to bite him — and while he's not in the mindset Astarion keeps trying to pry him towards, his body in kind seems to subconsciously respond. The hairs along the back of his neck prick up and are accompanied by a coiling of heat in his gut.
Old habits never die, Gale supposes.
Prompt: Mail

Summary
“There are better ways to go about this if I wish to speak to someone anonymously,” Gale points out. Shadowheart shrugs, winking at him.
“Sure, but this is possibly the most satisfying one,” she says, and fine, Gale can’t argue with that. But still. Such conversations are surface level at best, and transactional at worst. Besides, it’s not in his nature to consume live internet pornography. He has no desire to share such an intimate act with a complete stranger.
“I would really rather see a therapist,” he says.
Fresh out of a messy divorce, disgraced academic Gale Dekarios finds himself biting off more than he can chew when a seemingly innocuous encounter with an enigmatic camboy, Star, leads him down a precarious path of lies, liberation and eventually—love.

Summary
Astarion Ancunin works hard on his YouTube channel, sometimes spending weeks on the beautiful fashion films that show off his handcrafted gowns. His audience may be small but he's proud of his content. Which is why it's so godsdamned irritating when the self-named 'Wizard Of Waterdeep' starts posting hideous videos of his endless rambling and gets two million subscribers almost overnight.
Meanwhile, Gale Dekarios is selling his soul to make 'content' (ugh), just to try to get people to love magic again. He hates his channel and he hates himself, so he seeks solace in his favorite corner of the internet: r/galehaters — with his new online BFF, WhiteBat.

Summary
Gale had grown used to exchanging with Astarion: sate one hunger for another. That night, however, as the thrum of the orb demanded it be fed, Gale found himself pleasantly surprised when the rogue arrived with a companion in tow.
"The witching hour approaches, and at last, my patience has been rewarded with the company of not only my pale seraph, but a mysterious second," Gale said. "I pray you come bearing a gift under your feathery cape."
When Astarion replied, his words carried their typical sultry cadence as he cocked his head to the side. "My, my, waxing poetry tonight, are we? Are you considering hanging the wizard robes and taking up a career as a bard?"

Summary
"A Hero of Baldur's Gate" seems like a title of mockery to Astarion, who feels about as heroic as someone who lives a life in the shadows ever could. His dearest companion has left him for adventure all over Faerún, and the other companions are living fulfilling lives while he rots away in his dark office. Working his way up as a lawyer seemed at first like an attempt to reclaim his past life, but now that too is seeming more like a charade and distraction from what he actually wants. But when Raphael makes a frightening re-appearance with an unexpected plea for Astarion's help - an opportunity to claim what he needs presents itself. But how far is he willing to go to take it?

Summary
Lorroakan is a bastard. That’s what it all comes down to, at the end of the day.
It all happens so fast, Gale doesn’t fully realize what’s going on. His mind is pulling him from his body, observing from far away as he looks up too and his eyes meet Astarion’s.
The man he loves turned to a stranger in an instant. A sickly glow of magic barely perceptible in his eyes but for the crackling light at the edge of blood-red irises.

Summary
To Gale, working with Gortash is a bitter pill he must swallow, but one he can chase with the sweetness of the Crown in his capable hands.
To Astarion, it’s pure hedonism and power. It’s a section of the city in the palm of a pair of new gauntlets. It’s blood from a populace who will never tell him no again, and it's Gale at his feet.
But the aloof housecat often thinks itself a ruler on high over the loyal pup, even when they both wear the master's collar and eat his of scraps.
Enver has come to enjoy their meals together.

the kindest of kisses (break the hardest of hearts) by jellyfishline

Summary
Astarion has kissed people before, of course. He’s kissed quite a lot of people, thank you very much. Some of them even survived the process.
Some of them he even enjoyed. Not that that’s here nor there.
Astarion successfully seduces Wyll, but Wyll is less interested in taking Astarion to bed a second time than he is in kissing him senseless. Astarion has no idea what to do with that.
