    Summary

    Astarion heard Gale swallow thickly and then he could smell it. Lust. Sweet and fragrant. The wizard's gaze flicked down to his mouth.
    All at once everything fell into place.
    Of course he wouldn't take him to his bedroom and tell him to strip.
    The wizard possessed something Cazador had never had: Manners.
    He’d chosen a far more subtle approach that left Astarion the comforting illusion of free will. The trap hadn’t been as crude as food and shelter. No, Astarion had been accruing a far less obvious debt. The library card. The suddenly tuned piano. The bottles of bergamot and rosemary oil that had found a way into his bathroom. The glasses. The ring. A debt he had never agreed to, but still it had built.
    Anyone could tell what the wizard wanted in payment.

    Waterdeep will be many things for Astarion. A place to rest. A place to heal. A place to figure out what the fuck he wants to do with his life now.
    It will also be a place of endless frustration with a wizard who refuses to collect on his debts and a stranger he can not keep himself from returning to.
    Really, who came up with that anonymity spell anyway?

    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.
