Summary
“I don’t really think there’s a true name for what I am,” Gale admits, looking sheepish, “But I have named it, myself. If that’s interesting to you.”
“Of course I’m interested, Gale, I’m here.” He’s asking.
“I… call it Portentus Castificare. An omen of punishment,” Gale says, eyes on his hands where they rest in his lap.
“Is it that bad?” Astarion cajoles, hoping to earn another smile somehow or other.
“It’s certainly… monstrous. And the hunger, when its yawning void opens within me, is… almost insatiable. And quite painful. This… this body, what you’ve come to recognize as me… it’s a facsimile of the man I was before, as best as I could recreate it. But I died that day, I think. It absorbed me just as I absorbed it,” Gale does smile, but it’s a sad one.

Summary
Gale's head did a quick tilt of curiosity as he looked over the rim of his glasses at the grand bouquet that had been delivered. It was bursting with flora—carnations, gladiolas, lisianthis, statice, hydrangeas, larkspur, and delphinium—all in varying shades of purple. It was beautiful as it sat, perfectly fanned out at all angles, in the clear vase it arrived in.
His finger ran over the delicate petal of one of the hydrangeas. "Why send a bouquet to a florist shop?"
A snort came behind him as his friend, Jen, worked on an arrangement for an upcoming wedding. He turned to see her blowing her blunt black bangs up from where forehead.
"Maybe this mystery person is running out of ideas," she said as she snipped the end off a rose.
Gale grunted in response and responded with only one word. "Perhaps."
A sigh escaped him as one hand fell on his hip and the other scratched at his beard. It truly was a perplexing situation.
-or-
Gale has a secret admirer and he’s not exactly great at taking hints.

Summary
No longer a slave, no longer a puppet under his master’s command, Astarion at last had tasted freedom. And with that freedom he claimed the desires that had burned within him for so long: to live without fear, to choose his own path, and above all, to walk beneath the sun – with a little help from Gale.
And yet…
Yet, even after all he had conquered, something remained beyond his grasp, something Astarion had never truly claimed: his own body. Freedom had given him the sun, the agency, the right to choose, but it had not given him comfort in his own skin. The thought of touch still unsettled him; the brush of another’s hand, the intimacy of a kiss... Anything could summon shadows of shame, leaving him feeling tainted, dirty, unworthy.
But truth was, he longed for more.OR
Astarion wants to reclaim his sexuality, and Gale offers him an agreement that is going to change both of their lives.

Summary
“You,” he says, and gods help him but Astarion has missed that smug little note of ah-hah! in his voice, “came here to rescue me!”
“I,” Astarion sniffs, “came here to save the illustrious and noble city of Waterdeep. Anticipating a generous reward, naturally.”
“You're here for me,” Gale insists, still grinning. His eyes are shining.
He looks so fucking radiant, it makes Astarion want to stab something.
In which Astarion saves the day, and Waterdeep, and Gale. That last one is completely incidental, you understand. And no, he is not lying to himself, darling. That you would even suggest such a thing.

Summary
Astarion blinked up at him. “Come again?”
“Your hair!” Gale exclaimed. “It is perfectly coiffed, not a strand out of place, yet you cannot even see your reflection! You simply must tell me how you manage it!”
Astarion stared at him for a long while. Gale’s eyes were brimming with intrigue.
“Just to be clear,” Astarion said eventually, “this isn’t some sort of atrocious pick-up line, is it?”

“I’m quite serious about the weave thing,” he says, as though he’s not standing in debris. “Is there any chance Cazador had a death-curse on his body?”
“I’m handling it,” Astarion bites out.
Gale very pointedly does not look around at ground zero of Astarion handling it.

Summary
Astarion was not in love. As far as he was concerned, love was a fickle, fantastical thing found solely in the hearts of children and fools. If there were ever a point in his life where he thought himself capable of loving or being loved, his former master took care to strip him of that.
-OR-
Astarion struggles to come to terms with his feelings for one Wizard of Waterdeep, and picks a fight at the worst possible time.

Summary
Astarion was not a hero but he was stubborn to the last and he was so damn tired of losing. He stood his ground, snarling in the face of his enemies as they descended upon him. Without the element of surprise and with no one else to distract them he was at a severe disadvantage. But he fought with the ferocity of a cornered animal, the option to run now so far from his mind that it may as well not have existed. He would live or die by his decision to stay.

Summary
“Don’t be dense, you’re dressed as a wizard,” she says, rolling her eyes.
Astarion short circuits for a moment. He didn’t choose this costume as a nod to Gale. That would be absurd. Wizards in the modern day don’t even wear robes. An old-timey wizard is a perfectly reasonable choice of costume!
“Well, yes, but not for Gale,” Astarion protests, frowning.
“Right. Because you know so many other wizards that totally influenced your costume.”
-OR-
Astarion attends a Halloween party. He and Gale are best friends, and nothing more. And he's completely okay with that. Really.
