Summary
In all the storybooks Gale Dekarios read as a child, none of the great heroic romances ever ended in divorce. When he confessed his love to Adriana, under an aurora of his own making, he meant it for good. Sadly, it turns out, she did not. That’s why he prefers magic to people, people are too unpredictable. And none more so than the bloody vampire who’s just been sent to check on him…

Summary
Something is sniffing him: cold, loud, ragged breaths dragging through his hair, his neck, his clothes.
“Please, whatever you are. Help me, I beg you.”
Summary:
What could end a millenia of solitude but a half-frozen wizard?
What could fix a broken, betrayed heart but a huge, bizzare creature?
It's possible that the direst of circumstances may lead Gale exactly where he needs to be.- Language:

Astarion is a monster because of cazador’s curse

Summary
Unable to find orgasm with a partner, Gale commissions the services of a reputable escort to take him through the ropes (heh) of kink and sexual play. What he doesn’t count on is for him and his escort to have earth-shattering chemistry.
“Hhhhhhnnnnnngggggggg.”
“Oh.” Astarion floats into Gale’s bleary vision as his gaze drifts down from the ceiling. Riding crop in hand, Astarion grins like a fool, his eyes sparkling with a joy so fierce as to be frightening. “You’re such a good boy. Do you need to safe-word, darling?”
“N..no, sir,” Gale gasps.
Based on an illustration by Calolily.

I would walk 500 miles (In heels up a mountain just to shut you up) by Mushi_97
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
03 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
Astarion was perfectly content—or so he told himself—to waste away in this decaying manor he'd stumbled upon, hidden from the world and his nightmares. He hasn't spoken in years. Enter Gale: overthinking, chattering wizard, fellow accidental hero of Baldur's Gate, and the one person stubborn enough to track him down. Armed with a first edition of The Little Prince, endless patience and zero tolerance for impractical footwear, Gale is determined to drag the reclusive vampire back to the land of the living—even if it means enduring his antics, sharp heels, and sharper tongue.
Or: a feral traumatized vampire who lost himself learns how to live again because of a stubborn wizard and a pair of heels.

Ambrosia (or: How Gale Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) by mercurial_cool
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
04 Apr 2024
Tags
Summary
“Why does your blood smell so strange?”
The question startled Gale, who looked up from where he sat cross-legged in front of his tent, organizing his scrolls in preparation for their upcoming “visit” to the goblin camp. He’d given Astarion a wide berth since the revelation of his vampiric condition a few days earlier, so he was surprised to see the pale elf looming over him now, a peculiar expression on his face.
“You know,” Gale offered with a smile, “in my extensive journeys across manifold realms, I do believe that is not a question that I’ve ever been asked before. I honestly can’t decide whether or not I should be offended.”
-
Of the many side effects Gale has faced as a result of his whole “being physical host to an imminently destructive magical orb” problem, he somehow never anticipated his blood now apparently smelling irresistible to vampires (or at least, one particular vampire) to be one of them.

Summary
Astarion is fine - he really is just fine, thank you very much. He wants to do his job, do his best to bully his brain into submission each night so he can get a good night's sleep, and stay firmly under everyone's radar. He does not want to work with his irritatingly cheery and dull colleague - Gale Dekarios - on a stupid and meaningless project.
Alas, the universe - or at least Blackstaff Academy - has different ideas.
OR: Gale and Astarion are both tired, traumatised, and undervalued teachers at Blackstaff Academy and, eventually, Gale worms his way under every single one of Astarion's defences.

Summary
As their options dwindle in Baldur's Gate, Cazador sends Astarion to Waterdeep. It comes with a lot of perks. Most notably, he's far from Cazador, sending victims by boat instead of personal delivery.
Astarion has a simple plan in Waterdeep. He will seduce the wizard, learn what magic keeps Cazador at bay, then flee. Free at last.
The wizard in question, though? Absolutely sexless. Impossible to seduce.

Killer Queen; Guaranteed To Blow Your Mind by Lunarwench
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

Tags
Summary
Gale is an expert in many things, the most prevalent being the top student at Blackstaff University and immensely popular. Of no less importance, Gale is also the campus whore, ready and extremely willing to get on his knees and use his mouth on anyone who asks. He's perfectly happy with this life, and has no desire to change any of it, but a chance encounter with a stunningly gorgeous red-eyed elf captures his attention and his heart.
-
“Direct me.” Gale says, keeping his voice low and sultry, knowing what that does to people.
Red eyes go somehow even wider and that pale throat bobs with a clicking gulp. He does not respond, but a small sound like a whimper slips from him and Gale’s gut surges with pleasure.

Summary
“I was hoping you’d come back,” Gale said without thinking. He winced internally, all too aware of how desperate he sounded.
“Were you, now?” Astarion tilted his head ever so slightly, amber eyes roaming every inch of his face.
Not trusting his voice, Gale just nodded, and Astarion ducked his head closer, so close he could smell the faint citrusy scent of his skin.
“And…what were you hoping for, darling?” His voice was nearly a whisper, lips close enough to his ear that he could feel the heat of his words.Gale swallowed hard before finally finding his voice. “I was wondering what you meant by next time,” he said, pulling back to look the other man in the eyes.
~~~***~~~***~~~
(I lied it's no longer a one-shot I'm sorry!) Stand-alone piece of slow burn to filth to crash featuring Astarion and Gale in a modern AU. Enjoy.

Summary
He couldn’t even form the words; his shaking had increased so much he had to lean against the nearest wall to keep from falling over. His voice came in broken starts and stutters, and he finally managed to gasp out, “Cazador.”
The group exchanged looks before the githyanki woman spoke. “Dead. He deserved worse,” she said, the last bit coming out as a hiss.
His breath was coming in sharp, panicked bursts, and he sank down against the nearest wall, pulling the robe tight around him. “Not possible,” he gasped. “How?”
The woman with the silver braid answered this time. “We killed him, of course.”
~~~***~~~***~~~
Awhile back, I wrote a little piece called The Weight of Silence which explored Astarion's year-long imprisonment in the tomb and the ways he dealt - or didn't - with it.
This is the following year, exploring him working out his sudden freedom and the kindness of strangers.
I hope you enjoy it.

Summary
“So, is this the part of the break-up where you decide to focus on self-improvement, making yourself more agile and attempting to become more attractive in order to follow some notion of having revenge on your ex?”
“It would have to have been a relationship in order for us to have broken up." Gale mocks.
Gale and Astarion are firmly no longer dating; they weren't even together in the first place, if Astarion is to be believed. If someone could tell the Fates to stop throwing them together so that Gale can finally start to heal, that would be really helpful.
