    After the tadpoles are gone and everyone goes their separate ways, Astarion and Gale realize they can still hear each other’s thoughts. Probably because they’re soulmates.

    Summary

    Gale, once the esteemed Archmage of Waterdeep and now the self-appointed Grand Collector of Magical Misalignments, finds himself stranded in an unfamiliar land with a ragtag group of liars, cutthroats, and aliens. While he manages to rekindle his long-neglected skills in building friendships with most of them, it's painfully apparent that the vampire harbours a profound dislike for him. Given his recent streak of misfortune, it's no surprise that fate dictates learning more about the volatile orb lodged in Gale's chest requires Astarion's begrudging cooperation.

    Astarion, for his part, is simply trying to survive.

    Thus begins a journey marked by personal evolution, confronting inner and not-so-inner demons and embracing self-compassion—not necessarily in that order.

    Oh yes, and they also need to save the world.

    ---
    Or the one with over 200k worth of slow-burn dumbassery.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The most authentic Gale/Astarion out there in my opinion.

    Summary

    Like passing through a sound and light-proof curtain, the invisible edge of Gale's modified privacy spell gives way as the elf pushes closer, filling Astarion's ears with the tumultuous drumbeat of the wizard's heart.  It's not the soothing rhythm of a heart at peace.  It's more like the accelerated pace that he's used to hearing when Gale is forced to push his physical limits in battle, a brisk, throbbing pulse of hot blood that leaves Astarion's fangs aching and his mouth watering.  But there's also a wet sound: a squishing, squelching noise, like–

    Gale's voice catches in a gasp before rising in a strung-out moan, and the elf suddenly realizes what he's overhearing.

    OR: A nosy vampire sneaks up to Gale's tent one night to find out why he's being so unusually quiet. And boy, does he get an eyeful.

    Summary

    The vampire's eyes are wide and round, full of amazement. They dart wildly around the sights below, as if trying to see everything at once. The lights of the city reflect upon his face, soft shadows dancing across his elegant features. The very tips of his fangs are visible from his parted lips.

    The radiance of the city pales in comparison.

    ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧

    Two months after the brain falls, Baldur's Gate has picked up most of the pieces. The heroes that saved Faerûn have been there through most of it, helping the city get back on its feet. But now it's time to move on. Old lives and families to return to. Gale is going back to his tower in Waterdeep, back to the quiet, back to being alone; or at least, that was the plan. But plans change.

    This is a story about falling in love.

    Summary

    He can see it now: Their team toppled over, exhausted, hope lost. Bloodied, battered and bruised… sobbing at the acceptance of death before them. And then the wizard turns around. He imparts them a quiet melancholy smile. His eyes flicker to Astarion's and the vampire sees it: the decision made without his input. Gale mouths an, “I love you,” before snapping his fingers. Astarion and the rest are teleported to safety and in the distance they see an explosion.

    Astarion shakes his head, “No! Stop!” His hand frees from under his lover as he rubs both his hands across his face. Gale awakens suddenly, eyes wide and in a split second he's up running his hands through his curls, soothing the rogue.

    “My love! Are you alright? What ever is the matter?!”

    Astarion swats his hands away. “You! You fool! And you would do it, too!”

    +++++++++++++

    Or: a series of vignettes (mostly from Act 3) of the couple's budding romance. Syrupy sweet, it'll give you diabetes.

    Summary

    Lets smash Karlach and Astarion’s act 2 romance scenes together, shall we? Starts off just in Astarion's own head then lots of back and forth talkies between the two.

    Astarion’s manipulation efforts on Karlach to make sure she'll never turn on him have been working amazingly! Even though he wasn’t able to really give it his best efforts due to the whole ‘unable to touch her’ thing. But now she’s got her engine fixed, so she can touch people! This is great. Right? Astarion is very confused why he is feeling so very weird about at this turn of events. Meanwhile Karlach is so fucking happy she can touch people and, after hugging the shit out of everybody she can get her arms around, she’s super jazzed to be able to finally take Astarion up on his offer for a ‘night of passion’. One problem: where the fuck did he go?

    Annnnnd Action!

    Summary

    Gale yelps as Astarion's very cold fingers find his midriff. Astarion laughs, burrowing deeper under Gale's robe.
    “Ah-ha, Astarion, did you take an ice bath on the way here?” Gale protests.
    “Well usually I wake up to somebody very ready to warm me up.” Astarion purrs.
    “You know what they say; cold hands, warm heart,” Gale says, absently.
    Astarion pinches him, gently.
    “Ow!” Gale protests, “What, you're allowed to come and put your hands all over me but I'm not allowed to make comments like that?”
    “You can do better, love,” Astarion says, sniffily. “That was practically lazy. I'm afraid I've become accustomed to a much higher calibre of charm.”
    “Are you insinuating that I have somehow spoiled you, Astarion?”
    “For anyone else, absolutely,” Astarion agrees, sadly.
    Shadowheart sighs.
    “Glad you two are as disgusting as ever,” she says.

    Summary

    It used to be his body that he gave away to be used, but he hasn’t done that since this whole ordeal began. He never went to bed with Tav as he’d planned, and he isn’t sure what the name is for what he feels when he thinks of doing it now – making himself a commodity he can trade for safety, security. Not quite disgust, but a repulsion that’s probably always been there, he just never had the luxury of acknowledging it before.

    Even as repellent as he finds the idea now, selling himself is still easy. It’s practiced, routine. A role he slips into, a mask he pulls on far too easily.

    Deciding when it’s safe to give up these softer, littler pieces of himself is a far more daunting task.

    And maybe that’s why it needs to be done.

    Summary

    Albert was in a conundrum. A self-made one. You see, he'd been so excited about reuniting with his old friend that he'd promised to take Barok out for a day in celebration—forgetting, unfortunately, that he had barely a shilling to his name, while Barok was, well... Barok van Zieks. Just one of his shattered vintage wines was probably worth a month of Albert’s rent. What's a poor man to do?

    In which Albert figures out how to get out of the hole he dug himself into, and the two friends realize that recent events have not yet been settled.

    Summary

    "I can easily play-act as your servant for an occasion or two."
    "... what?"

    Two years after the Reaper case, Lord Barok van Zieks makes Ryunosuke a unique offer: to serve as his assistant and help him practice his confidence via leading others. Half-fascinated and half-incredulous, Ryunosuke accepts. But he immediately finds he's received more than he bargained for, because leading means taking responsibility, both for those who follow him and for his own feelings.

    And despite trying to keep things professional with his brilliant rival-turned-assistant, neither he nor van Zieks seem able to hide their feelings as they begin to work side-by-side...

    Summary

    Every Noble in Erebonia is granted a period of exploration and freedom, sometime in their young adulthood, so that he or she may return to their social status better learned, wiser, kinder, and smarter. It is up to each Noble to determine what this period means for them individually, a fact with which Jusis incessantly wrestles. Some Nobles use the period as a way to enact their most licentious and wild desires, all without consequence. Others use it as a means to campaign for power, and draw upon the love of the people. While Jusis knows he wants to use his time to become a better man for the people of Kreuzen Province, he is not entirely certain what the path that lies before him will bring. Thankfully for him, Machias Regnitz is there to illuminate the way.
