    Summary

    “Why are you so kind to me, Gale?”

    The movement at his temples faltered but didn’t stop. That foreign look that the human refused to explain took control of his face, this time accompanied by a soft smile.

    “Is it truly so unbelievable for me to think you deserve kindness?”

    Astarion reached up and circled his fingers around the wizard’s wrist, halting him. Something ignited at the contact. Something that alarmed the vampire. He found Gale’s startled eyes with his own and simply stared up at him. The warm pulse he could feel in the vein beneath his fingers quickened. Was he afraid? No. Of all the odd things that swam about in the other’s gaze, fear was not one of them. This feeling…was similar to what he remembered his victims experiencing in brothels and dark alleyways moments before he seduced them towards their untimely demise. This was…a desire. A want. A need to be near someone. Had he…somehow unintentionally seduced this man? Something undesirable twisted in his gut, and it wasn’t due to his injuries.

    Summary

    There wasn't time for the companions to deal with Cazador. Astarion had made his peace with that when he had taken down Gortash and Orin in a righteous fury. He knew that what had happened was the right thing to have happened. He had lived in freedom for a while; that was more than he was expecting, to be honest.

    What he wasn't expecting, however, was how he now reacted to Cazador.

    Astarion navigates his return to being a spawn, and his friends adjust to him being gone. The charismatic leader, the glue that held the group together, gone. They'll never see him again and they grieve.

    Then Withers drags them back to Baldur's Gate.

    Summary

    Gale doesn’t want to die!
    Not when Tav whispers ‘I love you’ against his ear with butterfly-wings-soft lips before they go to sleep, curling into his side and is so warm and soft and real in his arms. He wants to live – for Tav and with Tav! Oh how he wants to live!
    But what choice does he have when his orb is the only chance they have against the Absolute but to use it and end this nightmare once and for all? If there was another way then Mystra wouldn’t be so cruel to ask that of him, right?
    But how can he say goodbye when all he wants is to say hello to Tav each morning?

    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

    Gale cut quite the figure in the robe. Thick, scaled fabric that reflected rainbow hues in the noon sun hugged every inch of Gale that it touched, accentuating all the right places and revealing plenty more. The long slit at the thigh went all the way to the wizard’s waist, leaving all but the very curve of his plump ass exposed to passerby, and the neckline plunged past his navel to kiss the hair creeping up from between his legs. Tanned muscles built from their weeks on the road peeked out from every gap and contrasted nicely with the light blue of the scales. Even the Netherese orb looked fetching, nestled between his tits and framed nicely by the deep neckline as it was.

    In which Astarion talks Durge and Gale into a threesome. Astarion has the time of his life bossing everyone around, Durge gets flustered, and Gale wears the Wavemother's Robe. The primary relationship is Astarion/The Dark Urge, but don't worry; Gale has a great time too.

    Summary

    What was a bit of blasphemy if prayers fell on deaf ears.

    “It’s not fair, isn’t it?” Astarion asked, eyeing the flower with a sombre kind of sadness. Gale didn’t say anything except a whispered “No, it isn’t.”

    “Nothing’s ever ‘simple’ with you. You’d get bored."
    “Not simple then. Easy.”
    “I would have to disagree because- This is all but easy for me.” Astarion admitted quietly.

    Something fragile and easy to break. Something too good to be true. Or at least that's what Astarion thought. Fortunately, Gale disagrees. Astarion really needs to stop it with the electric eel comparisons and Gale needs to pluck his eyebrows because they're distracting. Maybe Astarion will just look into his eyes instead.

    Or: Astarion and Gale dealing with their past trauma and Astarion not wanting to be touch at times. Talk about consent, non-sexual intimacy, hurt/comfort, Astarion's genuine flirting and Gale being a hopeless romantic - the fic

    Summary

    Gale visits the quai six months after defeating the Netherbrain, on the eve of the reunion party.

    A place full of memories - because on this quai, Tav had taken his own life rather than staying alive as a full Illithid, leaving Gale behind, with his Orb, with his grief, with his anger... and with his love.

    Summary

    "Ah, now Minsc understands. He has seen that twinkle in your eyes on many-a-person before. One that wishes for pantsless bodies and soft beds." Either Minsc is politely ignoring how red Gale's face must be turning, or he is enjoying every new shade of scarlet he's managing to pull from his burning cheeks. The smug little smile on his lips seems to indicate the latter. "You do not need to hide your desires from me, little wizard, you are far from the first to want Minsc to touch in all of the tender places. I am happy to do it if you ask, though I do wonder– is it not our whiny vampire that has caught your interest? It is him you trail like a lost puppy-dog, not Minsc."


    The day after defeating Orin, Gale is left at the Elfsong in the care of Minsc to recover from the ordeal. Unfortunately, the process of healing from being a Bhaalists's pincushion for a tenday is only a fraction of what's eating away at him. Now he's stuck at camp, hopelessly pining after their rogue, and grappling with just how damnably burdensome he is on the rest of his companions...

    Or- Gale gets a perspective change and a lesson in love by being folded by the big dumb ranger. Yippie! 🎉

    Summary

    Before the orb, before the fall, Gale was Mystra's perfect Chosen, until Lyanna Harken pulled him from the depths and breathed life back into his lungs. Unbidden. Unwanted. Unforgettable.

    In the floating city of Sharn, his divine mission to recover a Netherese tome collides with her desperate search for the Whispering Blades. She offers chaos where he craves control. He promises order where she needs freedom. Neither expected to matter.

    Pride goeth before a fall, but no one warns you how intoxicating the view from the edge can be.

    Side B:
    Lyanna Harken’s just a wanderer trying to find her late mentor’s legacy. She didn't sign up for drowning wizards, divine politics, or the way Mystra's Chosen looks at her like she's both salvation and damnation. Should've known better than to strike a deal with someone who thinks breathing is a debt to be repaid.

    Summary

    This tale starts with Gale's affliction with the orb and is largely Gale's POV with minor Tara POV. Becomes alternating Gale/Tav's POV once Tav is introduced. An excerpt:

    "After what felt like an eternity, the pain began to ebb from a razor-sharp stab to a burning throb. He took another deep, steadying breath. It wasn’t enough to banish the pain, but it was enough to give him the strength to endure it. He opened his eyes and met his own reflection in the looking glass. Beads of sweat ran from his brow, his hair damp with it. The veins on his face were dark under his skin, darkest around his left eye where the mark of the orb was a glow, trailing beneath the facial hair that he’d let grow out over the last few days, then snaking down his neck and wrapping around his heart center. It throbbed with light. A warning, a curse, a physical manifestation of the thing within him threatening to boil over and consume him. The only part of the image that resembled the man he’d been but a few short days ago glinted at his ear, his spell focus, Mystra’s star. It had been days, and his magic had not returned. He’d finally coaxed Mystra’s last words from Tara. His Goddess had abandoned him. He was truly and utterly alone."
