Summary
“Astarion.” Gale says firmly, “I’m only trying to help you, there’s no need to play these games.”
Astarion leans in, the pain moving to the background as he draws closer to his target. Against the wizard’s ear he whispers, “I think you like playing.”-
Lifting Astarion's curse has unexpected consequences.

Summary
Astarion was not a hero but he was stubborn to the last and he was so damn tired of losing. He stood his ground, snarling in the face of his enemies as they descended upon him. Without the element of surprise and with no one else to distract them he was at a severe disadvantage. But he fought with the ferocity of a cornered animal, the option to run now so far from his mind that it may as well not have existed. He would live or die by his decision to stay.

Summary
“Don’t be dense, you’re dressed as a wizard,” she says, rolling her eyes.
Astarion short circuits for a moment. He didn’t choose this costume as a nod to Gale. That would be absurd. Wizards in the modern day don’t even wear robes. An old-timey wizard is a perfectly reasonable choice of costume!
“Well, yes, but not for Gale,” Astarion protests, frowning.
“Right. Because you know so many other wizards that totally influenced your costume.”
-OR-
Astarion attends a Halloween party. He and Gale are best friends, and nothing more. And he's completely okay with that. Really.

Summary
Astarion wants to have the powerful (and attractive) wizard, Gale on his side when he faces Cazador, but Gale has had enough of shallow sex and Astarion's defensive walls. When the bard at the tavern they're staying at fails to show, Gale maneuvers Astarion to step in to entertain the crowd in the guise of having a vampire schtick. Astarion reveals more of himself than he intends and is surprised to find acceptance and affection despite his dark past.
Starts dark but there's fluff, feels, and medium spice smut to look forward to on your way to a happy ending.

Summary
“Think nothing of it, darling. Now, how does this all work?”
“How… does what work?” Gale asks slowly, clearly confused. Astarion rolls his eyes and gestures at the volunteers around them hugging different festival-goers, sending his arm bangles clattering.
“This. Does one simply walk up and hug a stranger? Are there introductions?”
Astarion attends a Pride festival and sees the "parent hugs" booth, which Gale is working. He has a little breakdown over it.

Summary
Astarion stands at his tent, pretending to pick at his nails, the edge of his dagger gliding harmlessly under the hard nailbed to collect debris though he’s already cleaned them twice now. Any lingering dirt still remaining won’t come out no matter how hard he digs.
Filthy fingertips aside, he glances up quick and catches it again.
That wizard, Gale, staring at him from his own tent across the camp.
At being caught, the wizard startles slightly, eyes going wider as he turns in place and fumbles for something to grab. His clumsy hands land on one of the pointless metal contraptions he has gathered up outside his tent and Astarion watches as he picks it up and examines it a little too closely to be believable.

Summary
“Watch out, Astarion, there’s mistletoe above your head.”
He glances up in the same moment that Gale stumbles gracelessly into him, Astarion’s arms coming up automatically to catch Gale without even thinking. There’s indeed mistletoe above them, held in Shadowheart’s wiggling fingers, her wretched face smirking down at them from the stairway with both her brows raised.
A challenge, it seems.

Summary
Astarion wouldn't dare compare Gale’s very clearly lovingly maintained kitchen to a campfire and a chest of pilfered cheese and stale bread. But the feeling of it, the easy companionship, sharing the day’s burden of woes with someone who understands? That's familiar. And that, he didn't even realise he missed. Only now, watching Gale potter around his kitchen and chatter in much the same way he used to potter around the cookpot, Astarion feels… settled.
Maybe even comfortable.
Oh.
Oh dear.
Before he can stand and take his leave, go back to the contract in Calimshan and pretend this embarrassing little episode never happened, Gale sets a goblet down in front of him.
Just in passing. Drops it off on his way to the teapot. Like he thinks nothing of it.
But it's blood. Fresh, too. Pig, if Astarion's nose can be trusted, which obviously it can. He takes a tentative sip. Then downs the rest before Gale has finished pouring his tea.
“It's warm,” Astarion says, nonplussed, staring at the now-empty goblet. It would be beneath his dignity to lick it. He's no starving wretch now. But it is tempting all the same.Bookmarked by RecsOnRecs

Summary
The summer before his second season with the Centaurs, Shane Hollander is supposed to have his body and his life under control. He’s married, training hard, doing everything right.
So the nausea, the bone-deep exhaustion, the aching chest and low back, the way his body feels wrong in all the old ways he thought he’d outrun?
He blames stress. He blames the season. He blames anything but himself.
Shane knows his body. He has spent years fighting for it.
But one rushed doctor’s visit turns into an ultrasound, and suddenly he’s thirty-plus weeks pregnant with a baby he didn’t plan, didn’t want, and doesn’t know how to make peace with.
Now he can’t outrun anything anymore.
Not the dysphoria. Not the fear of the league finding out.
Not the family he’s already carrying.---
hi i need more trans!shane hollander. and as a trans man who wants to get pregnant someday obviously i had to make shane pregnant. without him knowing though. sorry bb

Summary
If Gale’s ambition was going to raise its head at a rather inconvenient time … maybe he could be the first to raise awareness and the stigma.
But that might be faced with people calling him a liar that he wasn’t really a pregnant alpha.
The worst thing Gale feared in all this was getting called an omega.
OR
What an alpha goes through when he's unintentionally knocked up by his omega, warts and all. But their bond and commitment is stronger than the identity dysphoria raging through Gale.
