    Summary

    The Shadowcurse creeps into undead flesh like frost. Gale applies the most logical solution to save Astarion: full-body contact. For science. Obviously.

    Gale can cuddle Astarion warm through their first night in the Shadow-Cursed Lands—but if he thinks he gets to save someone else while planning to sacrifice himself, Astarion has a few objections to make.

    Canon compliance: Takes place in Act 2 just after arriving in the Shadow-cursed Lands and is mostly compliant except for the way the shadowcurse works (see notes)

    Now with incredible fan art in Chapter 2 by the amazing Minui8!

    OR: after like a year and a half since I last updated this series, I got an itch. Hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    Fourth Snapshot of Gale & Astarion's developing relationship (can be read in own right but will make more sense if you've read the rest of the series)

    ~

    It had been Gale’s fault, really. He’d just wanted to pop back to the library and peruse a few volumes before they left the Gauntlet for good - maybe find some interesting scrolls to copy into his spell book or something that might give them an edge on any of the unknowable mysteries in which they frequently found themselves embroiled. Things with Astarion had been good - the last couple of days had seen the two of them closer than ever. He’d woken up each morning, not to Astarion sat beside him, but curled around him. He was still usually reading, since he needed far less sleep than Gale, but he did so with his head pillowed on Gale’s chest or shoulder.

    He was musing about these things and more, trying to keep his mind out of the gutter and not entirely succeeding, when he pulled a particularly interesting-looking book from the shelf and heard a distinct click from somewhere behind the wall. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Astarion whirl around to him and all he had time to do was mutter fuck to himself before lots of things started to happen.

    Summary

    As Gale and Astarion settle in to their new arrangement, the nature of their relationship remains frustratingly elusive to the wizard, right up until it isn't.

    ~

    Gale jumped out of his skin and swore, turning to see Astarion lurking once again in his tent flaps. He was holding something - of course he was holding something.
    Before he really thought the words through, Gale swore again and said, “I don’t want your dead damned birds, Astarion!”
    The elf blinked and looked down at his hand. He was holding a plate of food.
    “We only had chicken,” he said, slowly, “I thought you liked chicken.”

    Summary

    Deep in the Shadow Cursed Lands, Elminster turns Gale's world upside down with his request and he notices that Astarion seems hungry.

    ~

    “I’m going to miss you when I blow up, Astarion.”
    “So don’t.”
    It was a simple argument but a surprisingly powerful one.
    “Alright,” He said, moving to rest his head against Astarion’s leg. “I won’t.”
    The elf brought his hand over to softly card his fingers through Gale’s hair, “Good.”
