    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.

    Summary

    There's a memory of power there. Remnants lurking under those purple robes. That beard and handsome features. Under the sometimes annoying personality.

    Gale had power.

    Summary

    “Oh, gods forbid they respond positively to you doing a good thing,” Neve deadpans. She squeezes him a little again. “That’s sort of how it works, Astarion.”

    She can’t even see it. Believes the best of them all so earnestly, himself included, that she can’t see how it would all fall away without her at the center. It’s enough to make a person feel like they might actually deserve it.

    “And by it, you mean…?” he asks instead.

    Her huffed laugh of disbelief ruffles the hair at his neck. “Friendship, you idiot,” she answers. “And the general acquisition thereof.”

    Astarion cuts a sideways look at her as best he can with her still nestled so close. “And is that what we are? Friends?”

    He’d meant it to tease her, and yet finds that the silence before her answer twists his stomach. Because…he doesn’t actually know, either.

    “Yes, Astarion,” Neve says gently, after a moment. “I think we’re very good friends.”

    -

    Neve and Astarion, continued. She's not a victim. Not a target. Not just one night it's better to forget. But then...whatever in the world could she be?

    Summary

    “I joined the army, but uh… that didn’t work out well. Then I fell in with some outlaws. They got killed and I fell in with the O’Driscolls. They gave me a choice: Ride with ‘em or die. So… Wasn’t much of a choice.”

    A 2 chaptered one-shot exploring Kieran’s backstory before he ends up with the van der Linde gang.
