Summary
Forced together on a world-saving mission, Gale and Astarion's animosity burns until a brush with death turns rivalry into quiet devotion when Astarion goes down during a perilous mission and Gale takes on the weight of his recovery. As ambitions tempt their souls and desires complicates matters, they fight the Cult of the Absolute, all the while trying to confront the chaos within themselves.
A kiss before the final battle shakes the very fabric of their fragile friendship, and deciding to live together afterwards only heightens the tensions — Gale fears hurting Astarion, and Astarion feels unwanted, stranded in a home that isn’t truly his.
Love, slow and aching, grows between the cracks, and in the end, it's not fate that will keep them together, but the choice to stay.Bookmarked by IntelligentDemon

Summary
Gale, once the esteemed Archmage of Waterdeep and now the self-appointed Grand Collector of Magical Misalignments, finds himself stranded in an unfamiliar land with a ragtag group of liars, cutthroats, and aliens. While he manages to rekindle his long-neglected skills in building friendships with most of them, it's painfully apparent that the vampire harbours a profound dislike for him. Given his recent streak of misfortune, it's no surprise that fate dictates learning more about the volatile orb lodged in Gale's chest requires Astarion's begrudging cooperation.
Astarion, for his part, is simply trying to survive.
Thus begins a journey marked by personal evolution, confronting inner and not-so-inner demons and embracing self-compassion—not necessarily in that order.
Oh yes, and they also need to save the world.
