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! ~~

I Will Wed You With A Delicate Veil by SpellSparkler for ImNotYourStar

Summary
Astarion likes to pretend that he hates Gale. He needles him constantly when he drops off Astarion’s fabric orders, he acts indifferent when Gale asks what his plans are for the weekend (his plans are always bridal appointments or fittings, conveniently scheduled for the whole day), he mocks the cardigans and sweater vests Gale wears.
It’s easier than admitting he is hopelessly in love with his draper.-
A modern AU where Astarion makes wedding dresses, Gale is his lacemaker and draper, and shameless smut ensues.

Summary
Just a short claw-length away, another hermit crab stares back at him. A male. His pheromones drift on the current.
This one is smaller and slimmer, shell so pale it almost seems carved from moonlight. With a body that's translucently white, the faint workings beneath his shell are just barely visible. A pump of blood rushing fast and erratic. Red eyes gleam at Gale, wide and startled.
Along the back of this pale one's carapace runs a thin, healed crack, discolored and jagged like an old fault line in stone. It tells a story of pain, when safety could not be found, when something vast must have crushed down upon this poor crab and ignored his shell.
Or what passes for a shell. Because this hermit crab seems to be in a similar predicament to Gale.

Summary
After the gang defeats the Netherbrain in the Battle of Baldur's Gate, an aimless Gale invites Astarion and Shadowheart to accompany him home to Waterdeep. The three are partway through the long winter's journey when Astarion is struck down by a mysterious enchantment that seems to make him think he and Gale are married.
Which is an absolutely ludicrous notion, in Gale's opinion.
...Isn't it?
