Summary
Two months on the road. Two months of hiding in shaded alcoves and camping in abandoned homes; looking over his shoulder at every turn; fleeing when he spots someone with even a passing resemblance to his family; eating only when necessary to avoid leaving a trail of exsanguinated carrion in his wake; never trancing in the same place twice; doubling back to cover his tracks—all as the Sword Coast plunges deeper and deeper into winter. Astarion doesn't know where he's going but he knows he's not far enough away to stop moving.
When he meets an chatty innkeeper with a quick wit, a collection of strays, a dangerous secret, and a job offer, Astarion decides to stick around for a little while—just until he has enough coin to keep running.

Summary
From the moment he found himself at the Nautiloid crash site, the chains of his compulsion broken, Astarion had one objective: to kill Cazador or die trying. To take back his life. He never gave much thought to what he would do after, or if he even knew what it meant to live.
It was some small comfort that Gale of Waterdeep seemed similarly unmoored.

Summary
“So you should be able to come now that the orb is stabilized, right?”
After more than a month of travelling together, he has yet to have a conversation with Astarion which did not induce whiplash. It just typically happens in the middle of a conversation. It doesn’t set him at ease to have it happen up front. Heat crawls up his face and he sits up because he’s not sure lying down while having whatever in the Hells this conversation is going to be is advisable.
“You know, most people announce themselves before entering someone else’s tent, and perhaps even start conversations with a greeting,” Gale scolds, snapping his book shut.
Astarion plasters on one of his sharpest artificial smiles and says, with that pleasant, hollow affect he knows Gale can’t stand, “Hello, Gale. What do you think about this weather we’re having? Shadows with a chance of raving cultists for the foreseeable future! Now will you answer my question?”

Summary
Like most of Gale’s problems since the Nautiloid, this whole mess is Tav’s fault. He doesn’t know exactly what Tav told Astarion when Gale was out of the room, but he trusts that they didn’t betray his confidence. Probably.
Whatever it is has made Astarion act even stranger than normal and it is threatening Gale’s very carefully curated compartmentalization of his feelings for the man.

Summary
Richie absolutely knew that admitting he couldn't remember the last time he took Holly in for a service would make Eddie's face turn red and trigger a rant that lasted long after they were parked in his driveway on this fine Thursday evening, but it was well worth the scolding.

There Are No Gays in Football by Malu_3 (Grainne)
Fandoms: Merlin (TV), Arthurian Mythology

Summary
When a deeply-closeted Arthur Pendragon finally earns a spot in Camelot's first XI, he's dead set on breaking records, not one of sport's last taboos. But life, like football, is a funny old game, and sometimes the only way up is out. Especially once he realises he's arse over tit for the new physio.
A queer Arthurian tale of courage, love, and football.
