Summary
“Then I suppose I should be flattered that you sought me out, though I suspect it's more for my talents than my personality. What is it you need from me this time? I'm afraid if it's money I already emptied my purse. This is a fundraiser, after all.”
“Actually I need you to stage a breakup with me.”
Gale blinks at him.
“We aren't dating.”
“For one of Mystra's Chosen you can be so very dense, Gale. I said ‘stage’, didn't I? Obviously it's going to be fake.”
Gale gives this some consideration. Astarion is glaring at him, but there's a certain… edge to it. Something almost nervous.
“Who…” Gale begins slowly, “No, perhaps more pertinently, why have you told people that we are in what I presume is some kind of romantic and probably sexual relationship?”
“I haven't told anybody anything,” Astarion snips. “But I… may have allowed a few assumptions to go unchallenged, and it may have got slightly out of hand.”Bookmarked by killunya

Summary
Being turned into a vampire destroyed Astarion’s film career as well as his faith in others. Now the only gig he can get is in a tacky production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express—Waterdeep’s hottest show on roller skates!
There, he meets the show’s nerdy train consultant, who has a few secrets of his own.

Summary
“Ah, so these contraptions do stay still. Very interesting to observe when it’s not actively trying to kill me,” Gale commented, circling Astarion’s car as if sizing it up. “These are carriages of some sort I presume? Electrical? No horses or magic needed?”
Astarion rummaged in his jacket pocket, producing keys. He slid his hand across the trunk, up the back, and slapped the roof. “Actually, this has about 120 horsepower, and this baby can fit so much existential dread.” Astarion smiled smugly at the meme reference Gale would neither understand nor appreciate.
“The power of 120 horses… That sounds absolutely terrifying.” Gale’s face turned pale, his cheeks beginning to match his shirt.
Astarion gets more than he bargained for when he wishes his life weren't so mundane. It seems the universe decided to grant his wish when it dropped off 'Gale of Waterdeep' from a literal portal in the side of a wall.
Will he be able to help the estranged wizard back to Faerun? With the enlisted help of someone an ocean away, he may.

Summary
“What has you so worried?”
Astarion bit his lip, couldn’t look Gale in the eye. He didn’t have the words to describe how he felt. For 200 years he had been the same. His body had been the instrument of Cazador’s will. Lithe, sharp, deadly. Now the lines were blurring.
“It’s silly, really,” Astarion said, and stepped out of their embrace. Gale’s eyes followed him, made his skin prickle with embarrassment. He knew what he really wanted to ask: Will you still love me, even when I change?***
After their adventure, Astarion gains some happy weight and doesn’t know how to feel about it.

“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.

Summary
“Kiss me,” Will says.
Post-Fall. Will is straight. But more importantly, Will is curious.
Will shrugs. “I’ve never kissed a man before.” Hannibal watches him lick his lips; it manages to be nervous and suggestive at the same time. “I never wanted to.”
“Do you want to kiss me?” Hannibal asks, careful.“The way I -- feel about you isn’t,” Will says, his eyes flicker away, Hannibal knows why he was waiting to do this in the dark, “the way I feel about anything else.”

Summary
Astarion Ancunin works hard on his YouTube channel, sometimes spending weeks on the beautiful fashion films that show off his handcrafted gowns. His audience may be small but he's proud of his content. Which is why it's so godsdamned irritating when the self-named 'Wizard Of Waterdeep' starts posting hideous videos of his endless rambling and gets two million subscribers almost overnight.
Meanwhile, Gale Dekarios is selling his soul to make 'content' (ugh), just to try to get people to love magic again. He hates his channel and he hates himself, so he seeks solace in his favorite corner of the internet: r/galehaters — with his new online BFF, WhiteBat.

Summary
In all the storybooks Gale Dekarios read as a child, none of the great heroic romances ever ended in divorce. When he confessed his love to Adriana, under an aurora of his own making, he meant it for good. Sadly, it turns out, she did not. That’s why he prefers magic to people, people are too unpredictable. And none more so than the bloody vampire who’s just been sent to check on him…

Summary
Astarion wouldn't dare compare Gale’s very clearly lovingly maintained kitchen to a campfire and a chest of pilfered cheese and stale bread. But the feeling of it, the easy companionship, sharing the day’s burden of woes with someone who understands? That's familiar. And that, he didn't even realise he missed. Only now, watching Gale potter around his kitchen and chatter in much the same way he used to potter around the cookpot, Astarion feels… settled.
Maybe even comfortable.
Oh.
Oh dear.
Before he can stand and take his leave, go back to the contract in Calimshan and pretend this embarrassing little episode never happened, Gale sets a goblet down in front of him.
Just in passing. Drops it off on his way to the teapot. Like he thinks nothing of it.
But it's blood. Fresh, too. Pig, if Astarion's nose can be trusted, which obviously it can. He takes a tentative sip. Then downs the rest before Gale has finished pouring his tea.
“It's warm,” Astarion says, nonplussed, staring at the now-empty goblet. It would be beneath his dignity to lick it. He's no starving wretch now. But it is tempting all the same.Bookmarked by killunya

Summary
Astarion stopped mid-step, his expression caught between amusement and incredulity. “Questions?”
“Questions,” Gale repeated firmly. “Twenty-one, to be exact. It’s a popular, albeit clichéd, way to get to know someone. The questions I chose are designed to spark conversation.”
Astarion snorted, jutting his hip out as he crossed his arms. “Fine,” he said with mock exasperation. “Let’s hear it, then. But if this turns into an interrogation, I reserve the right to leave.”-
