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.

Summary
Astarion’s voice is pitched low and vicious, chilling Gale to the bone. “You’ll find there’s very little not in my power anymore, wretch.” He spits the insult with vitriol. But the tone is familiar, the same cadence and texture as when Gale is on his knees with Astarion’s cock down his throat. It is alarming.
✧･✧･✧･✧･✧･✧･✧
Months after the fall of the Netherbrain, a Gale who chose to remain mortal starts to understand the consequences of encouraging Astarion to Ascend.

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
Baronet Dekarios is a man of science, but the supernatural is as much a science as anything else, isn't it? He's also a man in need of a new patron. So, when an old university friend offers entrance to a party held by one of England's most secretive societies — a club of the country's richest men, rumored to dabble in the occult and the satanic — he sees the opportunity to kill two metaphysical birds with one stone. And all he needs to do to gain entry is secure the approval of the club's mysterious leader, the enigmatic Lord Ancunin.

Summary
Beauty, tradition, and perfection: these are the pillars of the House of Szarr, a centuries-old perfumery owned by creative director and artist Cazador Szarr and shouldered by its next-to-nobody nose, Astarion Ancunín.
Overworked, underpaid, and determined to claw his way out, Astarion finds the perfect blend of unusual charm and genius—and the key to toppling the house for good—when he meets chemistry professor Gale Dekarios.
Or: one perfumer, one professor, one treatise on art, addiction, and the price of ambition.
