    Summary

    Astarion wracked his brain. Surely he would have remembered such a delectable creature at school functions. He imagined the tiny classroom and then it hit him.

    The man often lingered near the back, a wallflower amongst the thorns that was the PTO. How hadn't Astarion given him attention before.

    Oh, yes. That's right. He was focused on preventing sticky hands from touching him.

    A blush blossomed across the man's face. "Well, um, thank you. Usually compliments are directed towards my intelligence, not my appearance."

    "What a pity." Astarion waved a hand, dismissing the comment. "Come to me anytime if you're looking to be buttered up, um…"

    "Gale. My name's Gale." Gale offered a shy hand, waiting to shake Astarion's and after, pointing at his daughter. "And that's Penelope."

    "Astarion, and my…my daughter. Her name is Iris."

     

    -or-

     

    Astarion is suddenly a father after a kid appears at his door and he meets Gale and his daughter at the park.

    Summary

    What begins as a transforming love between Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak in the summer of 1965 quickly derails into something far more tumultuous when Dean is drafted in the Vietnam War. Though the two both voice their relationship is one where saying goodbye is never a real truth, their story becomes fraught with the tragedy of circumstance. In an era where homosexuality was especially vulnerable, Twist and Shout is the story of the love transcending time, returning over and over in its many forms, as faithful as the sea.
