Summary
He can’t ask Gale for help. Gale might have the best chance of finding any sort of cure to his current undesirable condition, but he doesn’t want to turn to him. Something about being vulnerable and in need in front of Gale grates at Astarion’s mind.
He isn’t accustomed to anyone standing up for him like this, not without wanting something in return. And the thought that he could, just for once, lean into that—lean on him—sits uncomfortably close to tempting.

Summary
Astarion was expecting an easy weekend. A private vineyard tour in the quiet countryside of Moorabool Valley, a few smug comments about wine, and a pleasant escape from the city. What he wasn’t expecting was Gale Dekarios: an alpha vintner with warm eyes, excellent taste, and a knack for making Astarion drop his guard.
Flirting over dessert turns into something far more intimate... and when instincts take over, they end up knotted, marked, and accidentally mated.

Summary
“The book,” Gale urged. “Open up the damned book! Find out what this is.”
Astarion nearly dropped it trying to retrieve it from his pack. “Are the spores dangerous??”
“I don’t know.” Gale tried to wipe off as much as he could, but his skin felt like it was on fire. In fact, his whole body had begun to feel rather feverish.
Astarion skimmed the words, rapidly turning the pages. “Red cap… pink stalk… trumpet shaped…” his finger suddenly landed on a line, eyes widening. “This! Lushcap. Sometimes known as Nymph Blush.”
“It releases spores that, upon contact, affects the body almost instantly,” he read, his expression growing a bit more nervous. “Symptoms include warming of the extremities, shortness of breath, increased heart rate, dizziness, and decreased spatial awareness. This is because Lushcap acts as a powerful…”
Astarion trailed off suddenly.
Gale stared at him, waiting for him to go on. Astarion opened his mouth and shut it a few times.
“What?” Gale pressed.
A powerful what? Toxin? Paralytic? Parasitic organism?
“Astarion.”
Astarion finally looked up at him, looking both amused and on the edge of a nervous breakdown. “… Aphrodisiac.”

Summary
Astarion, making a whole meal of his trust issues, volunteers to beta-read Gale's in-progress historical chronicle of their adventures, intending to control his image and gather intelligence on his companions. Instead, their written exchanges through margin notes and editorial comments evolve into genuine intellectual discourse and unexpected intimacy.
Reader beware: massive geeks perpetrating geekery until they finally manage to get it on. And then they are still geeks.

Summary
All in all, Gale is happy and trying to be a decent man. His divorce has left a fair few invisible scars but they're mostly healed over and he's moving on. Which is why he tries to help where he can, giving the benefit of the doubt even to those who have been rude to him for no reason. After all, nobody sets out to be a deliberate prick, usually there has to be some underlying cause.

Summary
“It’s about the angles and positions,” was the first thing Gale explained, and Astarion couldn’t believe how oblivious he was to the innuendos he was saying.
“Oh, I’m all about angles and positions,” Astarion replied with a wink. He saw the flush already running up from below Gale’s button-up shirt, up his neck, reaching his face.

Summary
The Shadowcurse creeps into undead flesh like frost. Gale applies the most logical solution to save Astarion: full-body contact. For science. Obviously.
Gale can cuddle Astarion warm through their first night in the Shadow-Cursed Lands—but if he thinks he gets to save someone else while planning to sacrifice himself, Astarion has a few objections to make.
Canon compliance: Takes place in Act 2 just after arriving in the Shadow-cursed Lands and is mostly compliant except for the way the shadowcurse works (see notes)
Now with incredible fan art in Chapter 2 by the amazing Minui8!

Summary
“Boo!”
Gale flung back in his seat, heart shooting up to his throat and he nearly flipped back out of his chair.
Astarion’s floating head cackled from the window, soon becoming his shoulders and arms, and then the rest of him as he climbed into the room. “You should have seen the look on your face—”
“You know I hate it when you do that.” Gale fought to keep his voice even, gulping down the sudden dryness in his mouth.
“And yet you always leave your window open.”

Summary
“Is everything alright in here?”
Surprised, Astarion breaks away from the kiss, turning over his shoulder to see a second, identical Gale peering in from the balcony, wide-eyed as he watches.
Astarion looks at the Gale in his arms for a moment, still breathless from the kiss, before turning back to this unwitting voyeur with a mischievous grin.
Hm. Maybe that’s my Gale…
Astarion wakes to an empty bed. When he seeks his beloved out, he finds himself getting more Gale than he'd bargained for.

Summary
Astarion found himself watching Gale more than he was watching Dirty Dancing. He looked quite young to be getting divorced, he thought to himself. The gossip in him was dying to know the full story, but he knew full well that it would be really stupid to start prying into a practical stranger’s personal life.
As he was about to ask, because fuck it, he was probably never seeing this man again, Gale reached below his seat and grabbed a notebook and pen from a satchel. A satchel. The man was going on what amounted to a mid life crisis of a holiday (or, to be fairer to him, a third of a life crisis, because he looked to be about Astarion’s age), and he’d brought a satchel?!
**
Lawyer Astarion Ancunín had a chance encounter with film professor Gale Dekarios on a flight to New York. And then another chance encounter at a bar. And when he found out he’s in the middle of a messy divorce, well, what was Astarion to do? Aside from sleep with him, which was obviously a given.
Astarion didn’t believe in love stories. But life had accidentally thrown him into one of his own.

Summary
"We haven't spoken since that day you left, but you... you thought of me?"
Astarion hesitates, hope a fragile thing, doubly so for his double desires. "All this time?"
Gale chuckles at that - if he only knew the days and nights he ticked away thinking of him, worrying for his safety. Truthfully, he thought often of their entire party. He worried about Karlach and Wyll in Avernus, of Lae'zel in the astral plane, of Shadowheart and her parents - but no single member of their party occupied his thoughts like Astarion. In ways he never considered, Astarion took up residence in his mind, in his heart. Gale smiled softly, running his fingers through his greying hair. "Of course.”
—
Having gone their separate ways after the fall of The Absolute, Gale and Astarion meet once more at the reunion party and discover they’d both been rather foolish.
