    Summary

    Astarion glares at the Dekarios manor. It is, despite all of his irritation, quite the most beautiful building he has ever beheld. Its existence does go quite some way to explaining why Mr Dekarios had, before Astarion laid his reasoning quite so thoroughly at his feet, been so surprised to be refused.
    What more could a man want from a marriage than a handsome partner, good fortune, and well-appointed estate?
    Other than respect, of course.

    Yes this is a Pride and Prejudice plus magic fic, in which Gale is Darcy and Astarion is Elizabeth (to begin with). Beginning just after Astarion turns down Gale's proposal.

    Summary

    A remix of Act 2 in which Gale gets more of a character arc resolution.

    “Gods damn it Gale!”
    Astarion leaps over him. The guard, poised to land an entirely excessive final blow to Gale’s skull, topples backwards with a knife in his gut. The second pierces his neck, sending him crashing to the ground. Astarion yanks his blades back, and drops to his knees beside Gale.
    “Oh no no no, you are not dying on me now.”
    Gale attempts to express something, but it comes out as a gurgle of bloody bubbles. The world swings to the side, black and spinning.
    “I swear, if it turns out I did just watch you spend the last of your magic sending your cat back to safety instead of saving your own damn skin-”
    The threat remains unfinished. A healing potion trickles between Gale’s lips.
    “Tressym,” Gale says, when he can finally trust his voice.
    Astarion is still crouched over him, cheeks flushed, sweat running down his brow and someone else’s blood smeared across his cheek. Gale has the sudden urge to kiss him.
    “What?”
    “She’s a tressym. Not a cat.”
    Astarion makes a noise of such furious, pained exasperation that Gale half expects the dagger to end up in his neck next.

    Summary

    There's a saying, in the Kirkwall alienage - Life's shit, and then you die. But Jethann left the alienage behind long ago, and he's pretty content with the way his life has turned out; he has nice clothes, a warm roof over his head, even a bit of money put aside for a rainy day. But when he meets Hawke, he's not so sure anymore. Over the years, the Champion's love for Anders changes Jethann in ways he could never have expected.

    Summary

    "Anders clutched at the fabric of Vael’s shirt, the bones and tendons in his hands visible, bird bones, white against his skin; a fistful of silk crushed like petals between his fingers.

    Garrett’s own breath broke through the silence, harsh and trembling, and he realised he’d been holding it in. He could feel the blood pulsing in his head.

    I shouldn’t be watching this."

    Garrett Hawke has an ulterior motive when he takes a job with the head of Starkhaven media. He doesn't plan on Sebastian's lover getting in his way.

    Modern AU, originally inspired by this prompt on the DA kinkmeme
