Summary
The Brain has fallen. Cazador was defeated. Mystra (barely) pacified. Yet, Astarion desired more than a life in the shadows of his new home in Waterdeep. He wanted sunlight, and knew just the wizard who could help him achieve that- Gale. Unfortunately for Gale, it would cost him everything that made him the wizard he was, leading the pair on a complicated adventure to regain what he lost. One filled with danger, the dead and undead alike, and romance neither of them anticipated, all on that Path to Netheril.
(Inspired and loosely based on The Road to El Dorado- and it is entirely the song's 'It's tough to be a God' fault that this exists.)

Summary
Finally making a breakthrough in all his effort and research, Gale obtains a very rare tome that's incredibly hard to come by-- and it isn't cheap either. He's certain it's the key to helping Astarion feel the sun's warmth again, and Gale sets events in motion to make that happen.

Summary
Geir Dagrsson knows three things: cattle die, kinsmen die, but the one thing that doesn’t is a man’s deeds. He just didn’t expect his greatest one to be marrying the brat prince of East Anglia, and worst of all, the son of one of his father’s killers: a Saxon.
Ӕlfstan, son of Cadwallon, loathes the heathens plaguing their lands. When he is sold off in marriage to one, he will do whatever it takes to free himself from the man, his father’s wishes be damned. The Viking he is promised to also proves to be just as irritating as he expected.
Little do they both know, sinister forces are looking to sow more discord between the denizens of East Anglia, with Geir and Ӕlfstan at the centre of it all.

Summary
Six months after the fall of the Netherbrain, Gale and Astarion have gone their separate ways. Astarion is coming to enjoy the simple things in life. For once, he’s murdering, threatening, and intimidating the right people, and earning a tidy amount of gold at the same time.
In Waterdeep, Gale is working hard to find his place among the realm’s most prominent wizard academics, but can’t bring himself to publish a single paper.
When Astarion’s sister Dalyria brings him stories of disappearing vampire spawn children, Astarion is forced back into close proximity with the Waterdhavian wizard he’s tried in vain to get over. Together, Astarion, Dal, and Gale find themselves facing a new threat in the Underdark, one that proves the most depraved schemes in Faerûn did not die with the Dead Three’s chosen.
A story about figuring out who you are after trauma, what happens when you begin to heal, and how to rediscover yourself after turning down untold power.

Summary
What happens when the world moves on - and you remain stuck in place?
In high school, Gale drags a protesting Astarion to the new Dungeons and Dragons club, building a world of fantasy and friendships that lasts a lifetime.
Or does it?
Ten years later, everyone has moved on - except Astarion.
When the club finds themselves reunited unexpectedly, Gale and Astarion realize that ten years may have not been quite enough to get over the hurt that still burns between them.
A story of growing up, forgiveness, and miscommunications - with a dose of DND. :)
With lots of art from the incredibly talented adsu-shy!
