Summary
After the rest of their party disappears into the city on their next quest to bring down the Absolute, Astarion and Gale find themselves stranded in the Elfsong Tavern with nothing to do except needle at one another.
Their teasing banter detours into personal terrain when the vampire discovers Gale’s divine tryst with Mystra was purely spiritual, and that his physical body has never known the touch of a lover. Intrigued by the thought of seducing a mortal virgin, Astarion proposes filling in the gaps of Gale’s education.

Summary
“I am not eager to throw myself upon another altar for naught but scraps in return.” Gale steels himself with a deep breath. He speaks his peace to the wilds and the cosmos rather than his lover's face. “And yet. Marble skin, silver tongue... eyes like Moonsea rubies. Oh, you cast a fine altar, Astarion.”
With two discerning appetites, a deal to keep each other fed is the one thing that ties Astarion and Gale together. But the proverbial collar slips all too easily around Gale's throat, the lead feels right in Astarion's unchained hands, and both men think they've bested the other in a game neither should be playing.
In any case. As the greats say in lanceboard: there is no shame in losing to a stronger foe.

Summary
‘Whatever I understand, I know that you have won renown and glory on the field, and shown yourself to be mighty in arms, and fearless, and fair. And I know that you are a lady of great heart, and that it is softer than you have made it. And that I would not for my life have you made less than you are. And I would wed you, and live with you in peace, as Éowyn, or Dernhelm, or whoever you wish. And what I do not yet understand, I will learn, and gladly.’

Summary
It was supposed to be just a boring Ministry event; Ron's attempt at reconciliation with Hermione after another one of their epic fights. But then Draco Malfoy happened - and suddenly nothing was what it was supposed to be. And the moment Ron let those slender hands touch him, he realised not even Draco Malfoy was the way he was supposed to be. Because you can't put a Malfoy and a Weasley in the same place and not expect the bloody world to tilt off its axis.

Summary
The room of requirement's gone mad — at least, that's what Harry thinks. There's no way that Draco Malfoy 'requires' him, of all people, but why does it keep dragging Harry there like he's some kind of furniture, every time Malfoy enters it? Throw in Pansy the pervert and a clipboard-wielding Hermione, and things can only go from bad to worse. And that's not even mentioning the pirates . . .
