Summary
In the crumbling depths of the Underdark, Astarion has carved out a fragile sanctuary for the spawn he freed—and now leads. Gale, no longer a divine errand boy and with no adventure left to occupy him, arrives seeking purpose—and finds only rot. He tells himself it’s altruism. It might even be friendship. But Gale’s never been good at lying, not even to himself.
Can he survive what the Underdark demands of him? What Astarion wants from him? Or is he simply chasing redemption in all the wrong places?

Summary
Astarion thought he'd escaped his past. Then he inherited it.
Summary: When Astarion learns that he has inherited both Cazador's title and his horror show of a palace, Astarion wants to ignore the whole mess in the worst way, but Gale insists they return to Baldur's Gate and do the paperwork to truly rid themselves of the last of Cazador's ugly legacy. However, the house is haunted and has its own agenda for Astarion. Between a bureaucracy more convoluted than the schemes of the Dead Three, corrupt Patriars who want Astarion to step into Cazador's old shoes, and a tax bill large enough to crush Waterdeep, Gale and Astarion learn that Cazador is almost as much trouble dead as he was alive.
Canon Caveats: Plausible as post-canon canon-compliant fic, with some magical realism and exceptions to strict 5e magic rules.

Summary
That part was easy. Imagining purity, imagining walking into a new life clean, imagining answering the pain of loss with losing even the reason to care. The hard part came with the world outside of his mind and all the rules that had to be followed. He had to survive and to take joy from living. Any long term plans had to be tossed aside to keep the fire burning in the present.
Alternatively; the long and turbulent process of relationships, distance and Astarion getting his undeath un-done. With complications
