Summary
Morena knew that whatever it was that ailed her son was truly terrible when he decided to grow a beard.
He was trying to put on a good front, sitting up and talking in full, well-articulated sentences, but the ghastly growth on his face was a dead giveaway on the truth of the matter. Dire straits, indeed.
----
While Gale is away on his adventures, he sends letters home to his mother, who is busy turning his terrible cat-sitter, Halaster Blackcloak, into a proper member of society. -

Summary
Gale had ulterior motives for wanting to get a little drunk. He glanced at Elvayne out of the corner of his eye, and gave her a wicked grin.
“I do believe you owe me a story,” he said. “One about a certain cow named Stephanie.”
Elvayne huffed. “I suppose I do.”
“It’s settled, then,” Wyll said. “Tonight we indulge.”
---
After the group finds a stash of alcohol, Gale and Elvayne imbibe just a little too much, and they share feelings they've been trying to ignore.Series

Summary
Elvayne doesn’t think Gale will get in. He is too prudish to strip in front of others, too self-conscious to share the water.
But when she resurfaces, he is standing waist deep in the river, shirt off, goose pimples dimpling his flesh. The orb is a dark shadow on his chest. She wonders if he kept his underwear on.
“Why is it always you?” she asks.
“What do you mean?”
“Who finds me when I’m…” falling apart. Destroying myself. Being pulled in a thousand directions, “like this.”--
Elvayne is having a particularly rough evening and goes for a swim to feel better. Gale offers her some comfort, and things get emotionally vulnerable.Series

Summary
In all the months and years that Gale has been with his wife, he has never seen her cry. Not when she found out she was a Bhaalspawn who was the source of her friends’ suffering, not when she’d almost lost him to Godhood, not when Karlach succumbed to her burning heart. No. She had not cried any of those times, though he knew her heart had been reduced to splinters.
So when he comes home from the Academy to find her curled up in his chair with her robe half undone, face raw and eyes red, he is by her side in an instant.
--
Tav wants nothing more than to have a baby, but she knows she can't have one as a Bhaalspawn. Gale comforts her when she finds out she's pregnant.

Summary
There was a time in his life that Gale could sleep anywhere, provided he had a good book and a space to sit down.
In Waterdeep, he might wake in his armchair or on his balcony with the weight of an ancient tome still resting in his lap, or at his desk, his cheek pressed against parchment. The smell of it, of ink and lignin, would bring him back to his senses before his eyes were fully open, and he’d recall what he’d been studying, and begin reading again.
At home, in his tower, he could do this night after night and still feel mostly rested come morning.
But he is far from his tower, and farther each day.

Summary
“Let me guess, you’re going to go take care of Yuuri while he sleeps? Just in case he sneezes or something?” Yurio rolls his eyes, folding his arms across his chest. “Viktor, you’re whipped.”
Viktor rubs the back of his neck as he leans against the wall. “What does that mean?”
“It means that if Yuuri asked you to do a little dance for him in nothing but a coconut bra and a hula skirt, you’d do it.”
Viktor pauses, confused. “And that's a bad thing?”

Summary
The set of Yuuri’s mouth softened into a private smile as Victor squeezed his knee beneath the table. His hands were bare, free from the gloves he so often wore when they were together on the rink, and the heat of his palm burned straight through the denim of Yuuri’s jeans. He slipped his own hand beneath the table and found Victor’s. Hidden from sight, their fingers began to flirt and play. A secret conversation all their own that needed no words.
Yuuri was aware that at some point—a moment in time he couldn’t quite place—Victor had become his boyfriend.
There wasn’t a single instant when it happened. It was a slow awareness, as if Victor had silently been asking the question for months now, and Yuuri had been giving him the answer a little more with each passing day.

Summary
Victor learns Japanese while in Hasetsu. He doesn't tell Yuuri, and things get dicey when he overhears Yuuri and Mari talking about him in Japanese. Repeatedly.
(The subtitle of this fic should be: Victor Nikiforov really needs a hug. Luckily, he gets one. Eventually.)
~~~
“No,” Victor says, skating up to Yuuri on the ice, “you have to push all the way from here, or you’ll never get the height you need for that axel.” He sets his hand on Yuuri’s ass, tracing the muscle group he’s referring to. “Not here.” He taps Yuuri’s thigh. He doesn’t know the words for the muscles in English, only knows how to show him.
Yes, technically he’s grabbing Yuuri’s ass, but how else is he to communicate?
