    Summary

    Astarion ascends, Tav takes control of the brain and enslaves them all, and Gale sacrifices himself to save everyone from being under Tav's control. But things can't end like that, can they?
    Gale blinks and finds himself back at square one with an overwhelming amount of knowledge, a hungry Netherese blight in his chest, and friends who no longer remember him.
    Or... Gale is like basically a fortune-teller.

    I suppose this is a slow burn. I sort of modeled it off of the game's pacing, so that's why.

    Guess who has a sequel!!

    Summary

    When he wakes, he is on a beach, gold, looking up at the sun.

    Ah, he thinks, distant. I'm dreaming.

    Astarion is never quite sure, until the moment Cazador lies dead before him, whether this entire adventure is anything more than an extremely vivid hallucination.

    Summary

    /tolerance to a poison acquired by taking gradually increased doses of it/

    The wizard's blood is toxic. Remarkable how repetition turns horrors mundane.

    Or, to expound: The wizard of Waterdeep reeks of poison and weed, and Astarion can’t help himself on either count. Luckily, Gale considers any and all forms of experimentation, no matter how virulent, to be fruitful. Things escalate in every possible direction over a series of well-wasted camp nights.

    Summary

    “I will give you a tenday to convince your love to relinquish his Ascension. If, in that time, he agrees to the terms and nullifies his contract, you both regain possession of the seven thousand souls and gift them to me.

    “If, after ten days, Astarion does not agree…” Raphael reaches forward, his hand outstretched to you. “...you pledge your soul to me. Forever.”
