Summary
Astarion has spent more than his fair share of time in and out of hospitals and emergency rooms, and one thing is always guaranteed : no one knows what to do with him. He's used to being misunderstood, questioned, and flat-out accused of lying or exaggerating.
But he's sick. He knows he is. He just doesn't know why.
Dr. Gale Dekarios has always loved a challenge. A chance encounter with a beautiful - and mysterious - patient leaves him thinking about the man for days, and when the man appears in his office a week later, Gale is determined to find the answers he deserves.
A story about being seen, being cared for, and falling in love.

Summary
People like this just loved to walk in like they owned the place, trying to ‘shake things up.’ He’d seen enough of this type in his 9 months here; they never lasted, and Astarion made sure of that.
Astarion's unlikely escape from Cazador has him holing up in the Lower City, working nights at the local pizza place. Things are going just about as fine as they could for a person in hiding, when a new shift lead gets hired on - a chef, ready to make some changes.
Astarion is not a fan of change.

Summary
This fic is a joke that I absolutely am having a blast writing. Tav's faith prevents her from satisfying some of Astarion's sinful desires, until he finds a loophole that could finally bring him relief he so desperately seeks. Now the only issue is he will need some "divine assistance". So... que in Gale. Lol.
“…Brothers and sisters of restraint.” comes the solemn voice of a priest inside “let us remember the words of our Lord Ilmater—He Who Endures. Let us strive not for carnal pleasures, but for spiritual patience. For the body may dock… but never rock.”
Astarion blinks. He leans a little closer, boots silent on the stone path.
Inside, a soft chorus replies in unison:
“Praise be.”
The priest continues, voice echoing with pure, unwavering devotion:
“In times of temptation, we turn not to thrust, but to trust. Not to friction, but to fortitude.”
Astarion stares through the sliver of open door, jaw slowly unhinging.
“Wait. Wait. Did they just say… the body may dock?”
He squints, as if double-checking reality. Acolytes in full ceremonial robes are nodding. No one is laughing. No one is screaming blasphemy. This is real.
“That’s allowed?” he breathes. “That’s canon?”
