    Summary

    I feel like not enough fic writers are acknowledging the fact that Gale was groomed and has his own history of very possible sexual and emotional abuse… but we all know that these boys are foils, two sides of the same coin. This is the story of both of them learning to love and be loved in a way that matters, told from Astarion’s frequently ill informed point of view.

    Summary

    “I am not eager to throw myself upon another altar for naught but scraps in return.” Gale steels himself with a deep breath. He speaks his peace to the wilds and the cosmos rather than his lover's face. “And yet. Marble skin, silver tongue... eyes like Moonsea rubies. Oh, you cast a fine altar, Astarion.”

    With two discerning appetites, a deal to keep each other fed is the one thing that ties Astarion and Gale together. But the proverbial collar slips all too easily around Gale's throat, the lead feels right in Astarion's unchained hands, and both men think they've bested the other in a game neither should be playing.

    In any case. As the greats say in lanceboard: there is no shame in losing to a stronger foe.

    Summary

    Blurg looked up into his friend’s eyes, for what seemed like the first time in ages. A tentacle touched his cheek. “Hello,” he said.

    Omeluum smiled, even though it couldn’t. But Blurg knew. “Hello.”

    or: in the underdark, two souls from two different places work to make one place better for all. along the way, they trip into some feelings.
