    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.

    Summary

    No one is going to win a Pulitzer interviewing him, and Shane is okay with that. He spends most interviews rephrasing the same five sentiments--I’m happy we won or We need to work harder after that loss.

    They are a good team; the win was hard fought or They are a good team; there is a lot for us to take away.

    And finally: I love playing on this team, for our fans.

    Then Ilya Rozanov bursts into his life, and answering questions becomes a little more complicated.

    or: Shane Hollander, interviewee, throughout the years.

    Summary

    They’d considered it—Shane being gay. It’d been an option. But Ilya Rozanov and the way Shane looks at him like he’s the love of his life has blindsided them. Blindsided both of them, and there’s almost nothing Yuna likes less than being blindsided. 

    She’s not mad, David wants to say. We’re so proud of you. We’re so happy for you. We just didn’t know. 

    Somehow we missed it, you falling in love.

     

    or, what David Hollander and Ilya Rozanov talk about while Shane and Yuna are outside in episode six.

    Summary

    Not sure what this is- an exploration of sex, obligation and intimacy in the early stages of their relationship.

    *******

    Astarion slid his hand suggestively up Gale’s thigh but instead of feeling what he expected - the subtle spread of a thigh, an arching at the base of his spine, maybe accompanied by a breathy exhale, a low moan - he felt him stiffen under his touch. Not the fun kind of stiffening, no. A recoil, slight but unmistakable. He frowned and looked at him, surprised and dismayed.

    ‘Why do you do that?’ Gale murmured, pointedly looking at the floor and not at him.

    ‘Do what?’ Astarion asked softly.

    Summary

    Astarion had thought the feeling might go away once they left the Shadowlands and he had eaten well for a few days, but the anxious knot is still tangled up within his rib-cage. Their motley crew might be out of that long, lonely dark, but they’re closer to Cazador. The longer they wait to confront his master, the tighter the knot becomes. If something doesn’t happen soon, he feels like the strings inside of him will snap.
