Summary
These days, most everybody in camp had learned to wave away Astarion’s advances with a laugh. They found the flirtation titillating, Gale figured, or a bit threatening, or some combination of the two. He wondered if anybody else found it sad.

Good old-fashioned rumination on choice and compulsion. Gale and Astarion shake off their metaphorical shackles.- Language:

Summary
The vampire's eyes are wide and round, full of amazement. They dart wildly around the sights below, as if trying to see everything at once. The lights of the city reflect upon his face, soft shadows dancing across his elegant features. The very tips of his fangs are visible from his parted lips.
The radiance of the city pales in comparison.
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧
Two months after the brain falls, Baldur's Gate has picked up most of the pieces. The heroes that saved Faerûn have been there through most of it, helping the city get back on its feet. But now it's time to move on. Old lives and families to return to. Gale is going back to his tower in Waterdeep, back to the quiet, back to being alone; or at least, that was the plan. But plans change.
This is a story about falling in love.

Summary
And then there’s Gale.
He seems almost too easy to manipulate. So full of arrogance from his magical genius and yet somehow still brimming with self doubt - his is the type of ego Astarion knows exactly how to massage. Some impressed looks, a heartfelt compliment about his abilities, and then just as he is starting to believe he has Astarion’s admiration: a period of cold indifference. Gale will be seeking his approval before he even realises how much he has come to rely on his new companion. It’s a tactic so formulaic it would be boring, did his life not depend on it.
Astarion needs allies and Gale is a perfect combination of powerful and easy to manipulate.
He has no idea just how much Gale really has to offer him, nor how much he has to offer in return.

Summary
Act 2 of Stitches.
I think more skilled fanfic-ers would call this whump.
This follows Astarion as he learns that not everybody is out to get him. In the meantime, they save the world or whatever.
But here's the deal: There's graphic depictions of violence. Probably not a surprise. But there is also mentions of non-con. There are no super detailed accounts or anything, but... Astarion has had a bit of a rough un-life. You know the deal. I'll try to put in specific warnings for each chapter as we go.Series
