Summary
People like this just loved to walk in like they owned the place, trying to ‘shake things up.’ He’d seen enough of this type in his 9 months here; they never lasted, and Astarion made sure of that.
Astarion's unlikely escape from Cazador has him holing up in the Lower City, working nights at the local pizza place. Things are going just about as fine as they could for a person in hiding, when a new shift lead gets hired on - a chef, ready to make some changes.Astarion is not a fan of change.

Summary
If Vander didn’t know what Felicia liked about Silco before, he sure as hell didn’t know now that he’d actually spoken to him. He seemed like the snobby, asocial academic type, with his leather jacket and too-cool-for-you attitude. He seemed so at odds with Felicia, who was a social butterfly, fitting into any setting and easily making friends with just about anyone she met. And sure, maybe if Vander spent more than five seconds talking to the man he might find out, but Silco clearly wasn’t interested in getting to know Vander, either. Which was fine with him. He wasn't about to expend energy on someone who wasn't willing to return the effort.
-OR-
Bozo meets Bozo at a college party, they're idiots, and they fall in love.

Summary
Beauty, tradition, and perfection: these are the pillars of the House of Szarr, a centuries-old perfumery owned by creative director and artist Cazador Szarr and shouldered by its next-to-nobody nose, Astarion Ancunín.
Overworked, underpaid, and determined to claw his way out, Astarion finds the perfect blend of unusual charm and genius—and the key to toppling the house for good—when he meets chemistry professor Gale Dekarios.
Or: one perfumer, one professor, one treatise on art, addiction, and the price of ambition.

Summary
“I find that surprising considering how much you clearly abhor my dreadful clothes, as you described them.” Gale scoffs as he continues walking toward the breakroom. He pauses at the end of the bar when Astarion speaks.
“Abhor? Well…I wouldn’t say that. They’re dreadful, that much is true.” the bartender tosses the rag over his shoulder, grabs a cleaning spray and walks forward until he’s side by side with Gale like cars passing on the street, “It’s dreadful-ly cute.”-
Lonely divorcee Gale Dekarios gets a second job working at his friend Wyll's karaoke bar where he learns self love can be more than just jerking off in the shower.
