Summary
“It is– disconcerting. Are you not disgusted that I am not of your kind?”
She stepped back and they looked at one another. A githyanki warrior, a human mage. Exhausted from their travels, from their endless battles, from being moments away from a flaying, hideous death.
The two of them, truly, should never have met.

Summary
The vampire's eyes are wide and round, full of amazement. They dart wildly around the sights below, as if trying to see everything at once. The lights of the city reflect upon his face, soft shadows dancing across his elegant features. The very tips of his fangs are visible from his parted lips.
The radiance of the city pales in comparison.
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧
Two months after the brain falls, Baldur's Gate has picked up most of the pieces. The heroes that saved Faerûn have been there through most of it, helping the city get back on its feet. But now it's time to move on. Old lives and families to return to. Gale is going back to his tower in Waterdeep, back to the quiet, back to being alone; or at least, that was the plan. But plans change.
This is a story about falling in love.

Summary
Dreuer’s heart caught in his throat. Something desperate clawed at the inside of his chest, and he reached out to wrap his slender fingers around Gale’s arm. He couldn’t let what might possibly be their last night together be something abstract. He couldn’t let his only memories of touching Gale be those of his attempted murder.
“You would rather steal my spirit away to the aether? I want -you-, Gale. I want to taste your skin. I want to feel you, I don’t want you as a god. I want the man I know. I need you.”
Gale looked at Dreuer, the desperate flash in his eyes, the tense grasp of his fingers on his arm. There was more to it than just need, he was sure, but Gale was not ready to break into the worryingly violent depths of Dreuer’s mind to find out what. For now, he could at least give the warlock what he wanted, and indulge himself in something he hadn’t done in years in return.
“The old ways, then.”
The truth is finally out. Gale and Dreuer share their first night together.

Summary
In which Astarion is an ex-olympic figure skater and Gale is a famous musician. They get paired together as Dancing on Ice's first ever same sex couple. Shenanigans ensue.

“How did you even get in? I very definitely remember locking up.”
“Ah,” Gale looks ever-so-slightly abashed. Only slightly, though. Mostly he looks a little proud of himself. “You know how the receptionist is always asleep?”
Astarion's eyebrows shoot up.
“Gale Dekarios, you shady thing.”
“I only borrowed it! He's never been awake enough to ask about spares, so. It was easier to just sort it out myself.”
“It would have been easier to ask me,” Astarion points out.
“Mmmm,” Gale hums, doubtfully. “I don't know if I'd ever consider you the ‘easier’ option, Astarion, I feel that would be doing your commitment to cantankerousness a great disservice.”
I'd be extremely easy if you weren't so fucking annoying, Astarion thinks.

There's gonna be a bit of backstory and a lot of flashbacks. Writing gets better as it goes on; I was obsessed with cliffhangers in the beginning.

Summary
“There are better ways to go about this if I wish to speak to someone anonymously,” Gale points out. Shadowheart shrugs, winking at him.
“Sure, but this is possibly the most satisfying one,” she says, and fine, Gale can’t argue with that. But still. Such conversations are surface level at best, and transactional at worst. Besides, it’s not in his nature to consume live internet pornography. He has no desire to share such an intimate act with a complete stranger.
“I would really rather see a therapist,” he says.
Fresh out of a messy divorce, disgraced academic Gale Dekarios finds himself biting off more than he can chew when a seemingly innocuous encounter with an enigmatic camboy, Star, leads him down a precarious path of lies, liberation and eventually—love.

Summary
It's 1980-something and the eclectic band Astarion and The Misfits has enjoyed moderate success so far. But as the band heads out on their first national tour, lead singer/songwriter Astarion is falling apart.
His traumatic past is catching up to him and it's getting harder to hide his worsening cocaine habit from his band. The only time he feels something approaching okay is when he's writing music, or around his keyboardist and best friend, Gale.
Will Astarion be able to pull himself together enough to deal with his painful past and out-of-control present before it's too late to save his future? Or is he doomed to repeat the cycle and end up as just another tragic rock and roll cautionary tale?
~~ Step right up! Come one, come all! We've got: excessive use of the f-word! Shameless (fair) use of songs recorded after the 1980s, from many genres, that have been shoehorned in to fit the story (or vice versa)! Belly-flopping face down into all kinds of trauma like it's Scrooge McDuck's money bin! More flashbacks than an acid trip! Angst and longing! Romance and smut! A side of Halstarion! A side of Karheart! A main course of Bloodweave! A Spotify playlist, updated for each chapter! ~~

Summary
After the events of Act Three, Gale and the love of his life are hopeful that they can start living their lives and enjoying a peaceful future in Waterdeep. However, Mystra has other ideas, as she wants Gale back, not just as her Chosen, but as her lover - and she's willing to go to extreme lengths to get him.
HUGE ACT THREE SPOILERS!! - Might be a good idea to finish the game first
NB: For anyone looking for specific Astarion smut, it's not until chapters 18 & 21 - with some emotion bits elsewhere. Just wanted to clarify

A noncanon one shot of Gale and Evelyn getting up to some magical fun times that is really too dangerous to be attempted for real.
