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
Hands reach out from the audience, grasping blindly as Gale walks the perimeter of the stage. Faintly, someone shouts out their undying adoration. Another screams their need to taste his sweat. Try as he might, Astarion simply cannot reconcile this man with the buttoned-up and bookish wizard he’s known for five centuries.
“Now, this next song is a personal favourite of mine.”
Gale tosses the barely-burnt stick to the ground, grinds it beneath a boot. His voice goes sinfully low as he presses his lips up against the mic.
“Worship,” he breathes out, lids fluttering. “With me.”
Five hundred years of freedom has prepared Astarion for anything. Except, as it turns out, his old friend Gale somehow ending up as one of Faerûn's hottest rockstars.
