Summary
Strange. Some deeper part of him, the shrewd sailor browbeaten by decades of harshly-given warnings from pirates more wizened than even himself, knew to fear the call. Knew what lay beneath the tempting balm of it. Knew what manor of creature wailed such sweet melodies through the air to lure in its next meal.
Yet his body did not care. The song plucked away irksome thoughts of his hubris and his folly, of the flash of brilliant white that sent him toppling from the main mast to the slickened deck below. He sighed into its sound, clear and bright, and crawled forward.
On the other side of the rocky outcropping, he came upon the lullaby’s source.
Yes, his quivering hindbrain told him. See? There it is. Your death.
Even tangled up in netting as it was.
Gale, battered and burned, washes up on a beach. He's not the only one.

How Astarion tried to steal a Ruby and ended up stealing the heart of a wizard instead by Queen_of_the_Dots for smilingflash

Summary
When the Netherbrain fell and the Absolute was defeated, Astarion lost any chance he had at a peaceful life.
To avoid having to look after 7000 spawn alongside his once siblings, he turned his hand to mercenary work. Murder, stealing blackmail evidence, anything that nets him enough coin to survive.
But when those jobs dry up, and he has plenty of money to live off of for a while, he entertains himself with purloining jewels from establishments that are far less deserving than himself of owning the precious gemstones.
Which is why he's currently dressed to the nines, invitation to a museums benefit in hand. He plans to use the event as a distraction so he can steal the star attraction of an upcoming exhibition.
The Crestalian Ruby, the most gorgeous necklace Astarion has ever seen. And the only place it belongs is upon the only person who could possibly rival its beauty. Himself.
Until a familiar face appears, and his plans for the night get a bit more complicated than he planned for.

In hindsight, maybe agreeing to come along on this trip hadn’t been Astarion’s most brilliant idea. To his surprise and displeasure, Gale had also come, and now they were going to be forced to spend time together.
Also, there was only one bed.

Summary
“Gale, shh.” Astarion hissed in the defiant wizard’s ear. He looked toward the divider, as if he could sense through it whether their companions had heard, but his eyes settled on his pack, where the Sussur dagger had been tucked inside. Even as Gale worked his cock to full hardness, a wicked idea occurred to Astarion. “Stay, darling, I’ve got plans for you.” He crooned in Gale’s ear.

Summary
Gale had thought himself ready for whatever was coming — the past year had significantly increased his pain tolerance. He had known his end wouldn't be painless, but he had hoped it would be quick. It wasn’t. The black hole in his chest slowed the time around him, every second an eternity of torment, every minute a seemingly endless torture.
Gale had thought he’d face death with a raised head. That despite how low he had fallen, he’d die with some dignity. That there was something left of the archmage of Waterdeep, the youngest Chosen of Mystra.
Somewhere, a goddess of magic frowned, her displeasure making spells fizzle all around Toril.
Gale dies, multiple times.
