Summary
“It will take time to relax fully,” Gale said, “But if it’s any help, I should think our heroics buy us a few years before the next apocalypse, at least.”
Aoife’s head lolled back, and Gale snuck a few pecks to her cheek and neck. Aoife carded her fingers through his hair, reveling in its softness, until he made a small sound of contentment.
“This is the most relaxed I’ve been in months,” Aoife muttered.
“I’d agree with that, but I could be having a panic attack right now and the statement would still be true,” Gale quipped.
“Then we should do something about that. Relax harder, maybe.”
“And how do we go about putting more effort into relaxing, my dear?” he replied, his tone caught between amusement and innuendo.
“Oh, I’m sure I’ll think of something.”
Or:
Gale fingers Aoife until she cries. That's it. That's the fic.

Summary
“I don’t like the idea of you seeing me hurt anymore,” Aoife stated, rising and grabbing the remaining teacups, heading for the kitchen. “But I like the thought of doing this alone less. I think I need an impartial observer. A witness.”
“My love,” he said gently, “If that is what you need, then I will be it. But do you truly believe this is the way forward? We could always try to find a better way.” Aoife shook her head.
“I’m going to clear my name. Do things the right way. Belbyn was right about one thing. It will help me move past my actions. My shame.” Aoife looked away, but Gale brought his hand to her chin and tenderly brought her gaze to his.
~~~
Aoife and Gale are finally safe from the horrors of the Absolute, but not everything can be resolved with the death of an elder brain. Aoife, a paladin of nature, must atone for breaking her oath. But will the love she's found what she's learned be compatible with the rigid upbringing of a paladin? Or will Aoife have to choose between happiness and righteousness? -

Summary
After the fall of the Netherbrain, Tav's home in Baldur's Gate was destroyed and Gale offers his tower as a temporary place for her to rest and heal. A very slow-burn romance starts to bloom, while Tav (named Iluviel) struggles to be ready after the things Astarion did to her.
~
Lots of D&D lore and (mostly canonical) Waterdeep worldbuilding went into this fic that follows both Gale and Iluviel through their daily lives inside and outside of the wizard's tower.
~
Readers said about this fic: "This fic has had me in a chokehold from Day 1. The most deliciously slowest of slow burns, yet with enough intensity and cliffhangers to keep me racing back to it as soon as a new chapter alert comes out. The world-building that has happened in this fic surpasses just about all of the other fics I've read to date, with the imagery and scenery so beautifully written I could imagine myself sitting right in the kitchen along with Gale, Tara, and Iluviel, dodging pots and pans 😁"

Summary
“You still haven’t answered my question,” Gale pointed out and gestured to her outfit.
“Oh, it’s Grill Dads vs Yoga Moms Day,” Tav said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
“Is this some kind of inside joke between you and Astarion?”
“What? No. It’s spirit week. Why aren’t you dressed up?” She asked, pointing to his window pane trousers, purple button down, and tie. Gale stared at her blankly trying to comprehend what she just said. “Do you not have spirit weeks in England?”
“What’s a spirit week?” Gale asked exasperated, wondering if they spoke the same language at all.
Modern-AU setting where most of the main characters teach at the same run down high school where Halsin is the principal. Gale is a down on his luck academic, forced to take a position at an American high school, and Astarion is the snarky theatre teacher (because of course he is) who can't stop sleeping with the principal (because of course he can't).
Main pairings are Gale/ Tav and Halsin/Astarion.
