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.Series

Summary
Astarion's a slightly nomadic ethics professor taking up his new post at the storied Blackstaff Academy in Waterdeep. While exploring everything the city has to offer, he tests out a much-lauded dive bar glory hole and has the time of his life. It's impossible to get that sweet, soft voice and that skilled tongue out of his head, but the anonymous person on the other side wishes to remain unknown.
Oh well.
Maybe Astarion's burgeoning crush on his distinguished, older colleague, Professor Dekarios, will keep his mind from wandering towards the unattainable.

Summary
He couldn’t even form the words; his shaking had increased so much he had to lean against the nearest wall to keep from falling over. His voice came in broken starts and stutters, and he finally managed to gasp out, “Cazador.”
The group exchanged looks before the githyanki woman spoke. “Dead. He deserved worse,” she said, the last bit coming out as a hiss.
His breath was coming in sharp, panicked bursts, and he sank down against the nearest wall, pulling the robe tight around him. “Not possible,” he gasped. “How?”
The woman with the silver braid answered this time. “We killed him, of course.”
~~~***~~~***~~~
Awhile back, I wrote a little piece called The Weight of Silence which explored Astarion's year-long imprisonment in the tomb and the ways he dealt - or didn't - with it.
This is the following year, exploring him working out his sudden freedom and the kindness of strangers.
I hope you enjoy it.
