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.

The Last Will and Testament of Cazador Szarr by AbigailMoment

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
Knowing what his reaction would be before she spoke, all Alaw’Ryfel could bring herself to spit was, “Fuck Mystra.”
He gave an expected long-suffering sigh and carefully closed his book, “Please refrain from hurling obscenities at deities, it generally doesn’t end well for us mortals.”
She squeezed the edges of the tome against her chest tighter and felt her temper flare, “If all the gods are good for is smiting us when we do something they don’t approve of and giving us impossible tasks they could easily solve themselves they’re no better than tyrants.”
A small smile graced the corner of his mouth, and she felt him trying to lighten her mood, “A confusing view on the gods for someone with a cleric for a sister.”

Summary
Astarion does Raphael a favor and is given a gift in exchange: the chance to explore his complicated feelings about sex without the fear of anyone touching him in return. Gale is starting to act strange however...
TL;DR: Raphael gives Astarion a magical pocket pussy and he doesn't know it's connected to Gale.

With These Stars as My Witness— I Swear, You Will Always Be Enough for Me by andrastes_amazing_archives

Summary
It was supposed to be easy. All Astarion had to do to pass his Astronomy course was get his project partner under his thumb. Flirt with the man, pretend to care, even feign a friendship— anything for a good grade.
Then, he’d discard him— block his number and pretend he never knew him— just like he’s done so many times before. Getting this wildly intelligent man at his every beck and call would have many, many benefits, and Astarion was nothing but a visionary.
But nothing could ever be so textbook, could it?
Gale, however— the project partner in question, and the smartest man in the Astronomy Department— had a secret. He was doing his Bachelor’s Degree all over again, in his 30’s, just because of one mistake he made in his past; a mistake he doesn’t even remember making.
•••••
One knows he’s being abused by his partner; the other doesn’t. However, both could agree on two things: the first being that getting out was the hardest thing they’ve ever done, and the second being that they couldn’t have done it without each other.

Astarion was the only thing that had kept Gale alive this long. So Gale felt it was only fair to demand that Tav help them deal with Cazador.

Wether Tempter Sent or Wether Tempest Tossed Thee Here Ashore by Amelliki

Summary
Being trapped within the undefined space between something and nothing was every bit as uncomfortable as one would expect; rather comparable to being squeezed into a cramped coffin and casting Reduce on the planks. All in all, not one of Gale’s favourite experiences. Nevertheless, he does think that it holds up as only the second worst of the day; an illithid parasite crawling up his optical nerve is a tough one to rival. Although, should he not find his way out of his more pressing predicament, he thinks that netherese combustion in limbo might be a valiant contender; it would be a truly shameful way for a man like him to reach his end. He’ll have to offer his thanks to Lady Luck Tymora for it even being a predicament at all; as much as he would like to attribute his continued survival to his unrivaled wizardry — and certainly getting into the portal was not a feat to toss your everyday man — he feels obliged to recognize that it was truly nothing but good fortune that allowed him to keep the gateway to the material plane open and suppling him with enough air to survive, albeit unpleasantly.

Summary
The first thing he sees is the steaming breakfast in front of him. The next is Gale of Waterdeep.
“Not you,” Rolan groans.
Or, an Act II remix where Gale and Rolan can't escape each other's orbit.

Summary
When he speaks, his voice is so quiet that Astarion has to strain his Elven ears to hear him.
“I don’t have a choice.”
Astarion scoffs.
“Look, I know it seems that way, but I'm sure we can -"
“No,” Gale snaps, looking back up at him. “You don’t understand. I don’t have a choice.”
Gale is cursed to be obedient. This has... several implications for his odds of survival throughout Acts 1 and 2.

Summary
Gale tried again. “I—yes,” he said, finally. “This might be my last night alive. You’re right.”
“I’m not right,” sniffed Astarion. “I don't approve of the idea. I’m onto you. There’s a difference.”
The night before they reach Moonrise Towers, Gale's simulacrum fetches Astarion from his tent. He doesn't come quietly.

Summary
“You were never that good of a liar, Mr. Dekarios,” she continues, “Not to me, at least. Your mother might fall for your boyish charms and sweet smile, but you’ll have to try harder than that if you want to convince me that there’s nothing I should be concerned about.”
Gale exhales through his nose, dragon’s breath, and thinks of impossibly deep kisses, recalls recurring dreams of unanswered pleas for mercy.
“There isn’t.”
Lonely, painful days.
“Isn’t there?”
The soothing balm that arrives each night. His own blood staining the sheets. Bliss.
“No.”

Summary
"I'm exhausted," Gale admits, rubbing absentmindedly at his chest, "but I can't sleep."
"That makes two of us, then," Astarion sighs, studying Gale from beneath his lashes. "Is it the orb?"
Gale finds himself nodding tentatively, "It aches."
"I suppose a little divine pain relief is too much to ask for," Astarion scoffs.
-OR-
Gale is exhausted, but he isn't alone.

Summary
In a momentary lapse in Cazador's compulsion over him, Astarion flees Baldur's Gate. The moment he does, Cazador's second line of defense takes over, and he transforms into a small bat with no real way to defend himself against the sunlight or the wildlife around him. Then he meets a wandering wizard in need of a traveling companion.

Summary
The Shadowcurse creeps into undead flesh like frost. Gale applies the most logical solution to save Astarion: full-body contact. For science. Obviously.
Gale can cuddle Astarion warm through their first night in the Shadow-Cursed Lands—but if he thinks he gets to save someone else while planning to sacrifice himself, Astarion has a few objections to make.
Canon compliance: Takes place in Act 2 just after arriving in the Shadow-cursed Lands and is mostly compliant except for the way the shadowcurse works (see notes)

Summary
Gale was a beta. He only needed Astarion’s pillows and blankets because his body ached from sleeping on the ground. Surely it wouldn’t kill the vampire to part with a few comforts?
Alternatively: Gale has an uncharacteristic bout of thievery and Astarion, like a hypocrite, confronts him for it.

Summary
Gale turned out to be a lovely surprise.
Obedient, easy to please, very ingenious when it comes to his mouth. And perhaps the best part was that he was willing to let Astarion utilize that mouth together with any and all of his powers, be it in battle or otherwise, needing only the smallest of gestures on Astarion’s part.
Perhaps Gale knew he would be generously rewarded for his efforts. And perhaps he truly wished for Astarion’s well-being. He wouldn’t complain either way.
He could spend hours with his new toy, playing and tying and tugging at all the right spots to make Gale cry out in pleasure.
But not once did he kiss him.
