Summary
One of Gale's biggest strengths happens to be one of his biggest flaws: it only takes one conversation to put an idea in Gale's head and after a chat with Minthara, a certain thought keeps wriggling to the forefront of his mind. Minthara is happy to indulge — with her own twist, of course.
"You didn't answer my question, wizard. What interests you about the two?"
Gale hooks onto it with a twinkle of mirth in his eyes, picking up where he previously left off with the polished grace of a man who is far too used to overindulging every idea.
"Perhaps I wouldn't actively seek out a mindflayer for a lay, but— Well, the logistics of it are interesting. The difference in anatomy, for starters." His head dips away, not fast enough to hide his rosy cheeks. "The only accounts on the subject matter were inherently fictitious. Romance novels that were undoubtedly and very, very clearly someone's fantasy, to clarify."
"You've laid with a goddess, and yet you're curious how a woman could be pleasured by a creature with a set of tentacles?" A set of writhing, inherently slick appendages with articulate control, she thinks, but opts to leave out.

Summary
Soul marks manifest as flowers on the body and define a deep bond between a pair – an indication of the life-lasting effect one's relationship means to the other. To drow, they're seen as an outward, physical sign of weakness.
"What brings you to the temple, high priestess?" She's unable to drop the polite decorum, too entranced by her appearance.
"The Spider Queen called me here," she says, her voice soothing like the gentle notes of a lyre.
Minthara can't help but stare at the belladonna mark. She longs to run a thumb, calloused from decades of swordplay, against the soul mark, to have the priestess's throat tighten and breath hitch when Minthara whispers beautiful.

Summary
The Safety Commission decides to host a gala to mend relations between the public and heroes as well as raise funds for reparations for the city. Shouta doesn't care too much until he finds out he can win a date to the gala with his favorite hero and best friend, Present Mic.
He's pretty sure the likelihood of winning with a single entry is slim.
So Shouta grabs a handful. Actually, it's more than a handful. Maybe too many. If someone bought this many entries for a chance to date him, he would be livid, and would probably assume they were some erratic, disturbed fan. He swallows his pride and hesitates for a moment before throwing the stack on the counter.

Summary
Minthara follows the wizard back to Waterdeep, and in a moment of rawness, she contemplates her self-worth.
Minthara has done nothing of value to prove she's worthy of one day donning the matron crown, to feel the unnerving yet beautiful weight of hizagkuur metal upon her head. Her idleness could not warrant the luxury of a meticulously shaped headdress of spindly arachnid legs, one that would delicately curl along her temples like a laurel.
No, because instead of seizing her birthright, Minthara's fallen for the wizard's gentle demeanor. She questions if she's even worthy of that, but she still lets him whisper sweet promises recited in a poetic cadence (words that, if uttered by another, she surely would have called for their end with a swing of her sword), and since following him to his tower, she's allowed him to court her, treat her like some demure Waterdhavian noble maiden.

Summary
Though the war is over, Shouta is left to cope with chronic pain from a lifetime of injuries and scars sustained over his time as a hero. Hizashi suggests an herbal solution to mitigate it.
Hizashi shrugs him off, puts the joint to his lips, and takes a drag.
"Sometimes we make selfish decisions that aren't entirely rational," Hizashi murmurs, smoke spilling out with each word. The visual is oddly tantalizing, even as his cheeriness drops into something more somber. "You're hurting, I'm hurting— so let's just not for a minute, okay? Now, c'mere."
Hizashi lets out a sigh, and Shouta is convinced he can see the tension physically leave the blond's body alongside the wisps of smoke. He flops on their bed and with his free hand, pats the spot next to him. Shouta stares hard before succumbing to curiosity; he sits down and scoots along the bed until he's leaning into the familiar body warmth.

Summary
After Gale accused Astarion of cheating at cards, the rogue picked up an interest in learning lanceboard to challenge the wizard at his game of preference. To sweeten the deal and make things more interesting, the two have agreed that the victor wins a favor from the loser.
The quiet, slow deliberateness made in each move by Gale was gone now. Astarion had fallen into the wizard's trap and he was starting to see there would be no way out of it. All of the vampire's moves would be made out of a desperate clumsy attempt to protect his king and prolong its downfall. "Razor's Edge to queen's bishop two."
He continued his oration as he reached over, an index finger resting on a pawn. "Because sometimes, that small victory is enough to give them the momentum to keep going forward. The resolve of man to survive against all odds – fascinating, wouldn't you agree?" He moved the pawn diagonal, replacing Astarion's pawn with his own, inching ever so closer to the black side of the board. Once more, his bishop had a clear shot to his Cyric. "Pawn to queen's knight seven. Check."

Summary
Gale wants to write to his dear friend Shadowheart, but Astarion is demanding his attention.
"Who's the mail from? Some crotchety, old wizard colleague from who-cares-where?"
"Shadowheart. She's made herself a home in Silverymoon, by the sound of it."
"Mm, good to hear," Astarion murmurs, half-listening. He's trying again to rile Gale up into something. Lips are pressing open-mouthed kisses along his neck, spending extra time to suck against the rugged, marred skin where Astarion used to bite him — and while he's not in the mindset Astarion keeps trying to pry him towards, his body in kind seems to subconsciously respond. The hairs along the back of his neck prick up and are accompanied by a coiling of heat in his gut.
Old habits never die, Gale supposes.
Prompt: Mail
Takes place post-sating the hunger, though can be read as a standalone.Series

Summary
Birthdays, shooting stars, Tanabata are all opportunities to make wishes, and Hizashi's made the same wish for the past fifteen years — for his best friend to see him in the same light he sees him, and feel the blooming warmth of love he feels for Shouta.
"So what'd you wish for?" Hizashi asks.
"If I tell you, it won't come true," Shouta huffs.
"There's no way you actually believe that."
"And what if I do?"
"Because you're not the type to even believe in wishes. Y'know, I'm pretty sure the whole can't-say-or-it-won't-come-true thing is what private people tell nosy people to keep them out of their business."

Summary
Hizashi's music sharing prompts Shouta to confess about how his perception of the world is a little different than others.
"How so?" Hizashi asks.
Shouta falls quiet, debating on how to even broach the topic. He's never bothered to tell Hizashi about his synesthesia. How does he explain he perceives the world differently? That he sees sound? That his life is an explosion of color, and he's only ever found two consistent things that reset him when his living painting becomes too overwhelming?
He finishes the braid and continues to comb through his hair. Hizashi, placated by the preening, hums under his breath, summoning crimson red that weaves along locks of golden blond.

Summary
When Shouta develops feelings for Hizashi after Oboro's death, he worries it's too soon. When enough time has passed that he thinks he can admit his feelings, he worries it's too late.
Under the golden hour, he thinks Hizashi's smile is even more brilliant than the sun. It's enough to make Shouta smile back.
It's charming. He's charming. Shouta wonders how he hasn't noticed it before.
Maybe the clouds have finally parted from his eyes.
And if Hizashi is the sun, did that mean Oboro was the cloud blocking him from enjoying that beautiful skyline?
The thought makes him feel a twinge of guilt.

Summary
Gale had grown used to exchanging with Astarion: sate one hunger for another. That night, however, as the thrum of the orb demanded it be fed, Gale found himself pleasantly surprised when the rogue arrived with a companion in tow.
"The witching hour approaches, and at last, my patience has been rewarded with the company of not only my pale seraph, but a mysterious second," Gale said. "I pray you come bearing a gift under your feathery cape."
When Astarion replied, his words carried their typical sultry cadence as he cocked his head to the side. "My, my, waxing poetry tonight, are we? Are you considering hanging the wizard robes and taking up a career as a bard?"

Summary
Gale approaches Minthara in the evening and one thing leads to another.
She licks at his lips, licks at the bloodied bite, and laughs when she tastes his acrid blood. Past the Netherese poison that lines his veins, it's sweet like belladonna.
Minthara wonders how much it would take to end her. She always thought she would die by a lover's poison — how fitting for that lover's blood to be the very poison.

Summary
Unlike reversing undeath, the secrets to earning it are surprisingly easy to uncover, yet he can understand why the ascension to lichdom is not performed with more frequency. It involves a ritual with a material component most sacred — giving up what one values most.
When Gale lays down at night, he finds himself frightened, not by the idea of such a sacrifice, but by the truth that he does not know what it is he values.

Summary
Gale had a habit of loving too intensely.
He had learned it was easier to bottle it up and let the emotions pass than admit them. And normally that would have been fine. It would become a temporary impediment to eventually get over —the affections would dwindle, and he would replace the object of his affection with something else.
Yet now, alongside the Netherese orb nestled in his chest and the mindflayer tadpole that wriggled behind his eye, the potent sussur flower had rooted itself in his lungs because of this love. And like his other afflictions, it was another problem that couldn't be solved with magic.

Summary
After finding himself nestled amongst a group of a adventurers, Gale is drawn like a moth to a flame to the mysterious pale elf.
~~
He wanted to know more about him – he needed to. He wasn’t sure if it was the charm or the mysterious air Astarion played up that peaked his interest more, but Gale was eager to pry him open – to get past that book cover and discover what secret knowledge he would uncover in those pages.Series

Summary
After the fall of the Absolute, Astarion decided to grace his companions with his presence at the six-month-late afterparty. To his surprise, Gale made it to the party as well.
~~
With his full weight against Gale, he drew a dagger from his belt and slowly inched it towards his neck. While Gale no longer had visible pupils, Astarion could tell his eyes were trained upon the blade, his brows knitting with a telltale worry as the blade rested against his warm throat. He had not frightened the god per se, but caused enough trepidation in Gale to question if he would come out of this unscathed."Reminds me of the day we met," Gale croaked. The cracks in his confidence began to show with a bob of his throat as he swallowed. He opened his mouth as if to talk, yet stopped as cold steel pressed firm against his throat.

Summary
Gale has found himself wedged in a tight spot and Astarion can not help but take advantage of the rare opportunity.
~~
Astarion watched as the wizard writhed desperately in an attempt to free himself in one direction or another. He knocked his knee into the wall to give himself some leverage. As he arched his back and angled his ass up, it caused his robes to ruck up, accumulating at his waist. When he followed it up with more fidgeting, his ass wiggled at him temptingly.Were those damn trousers always so snug on him? Astarion found a heat coil in his core as he stared on in awed silence.
"Astarion? Are you still there?"
"Oh, yes," he said as he moved forward, hovering a hand over Gale's hip. Astarion licked his lips. "This angle does suit you," Astarion purred. "It's tempting to not just…" He inched forward, slotting himself against Gale and grinding teasingly against him.

Summary
It's the first snowfall of the season in Waterdeep and Gale is insistent he and Astarion brave the cold to meet up with his mother and Tara.
~~
"I was hoping you wouldn't be so difficult," Gale replied.A pointer finger found a way to Astarion's pale nose, playfully tapping his nose as if it was a button. Despite lacking the magical intervention of the newly donned garments, he felt a warmth bubble in his chest at the gesture. He couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corners of his mouth.
The things he did for this wizard.

Summary
Gale wriggled in a half-hearted attempt to free himself. A fang flashed at him, taunting him as the vampire leaned ever-so-closely. Did Astarion notice how he made little effort to escape? With one arm free, surely he was aware that all it would take was a firm yank to unbind his other arm and a simple spell to send him flying—
"So you haven't been gawking at me these past few days?" the vampire asked, leaning closer.
—But he didn't want to be free, did he? He enjoyed how his heart raced with Astarion looming over him. It was as though he was imbibed on a pleasant liquor; there was a certain enjoyable dizzying head rush, coupled with the pleasant tingle along his limbs as he stared down the vampire.

Summary
Gale found himself in a strange dynamic with Minthara after the end of his relationship with his goddess Mystra.
~~
She gave not even a final glance back to him to see if he was following behind. She knew he was watching her. No tadpole was needed to know that she not only did she expect him to follow, but she knew he would. This had become their strange relationship; a demeaning phrase or pointed look was all to convey the silent invitation to meet her in her tent – to help her achieve the pleasure she deserved.He wasn't quite sure how it had come to this. He was not her first pick. Gods, he did not even think he was her second pick.
