Summary
“Magic is magic. But it can’t give us the reality of flesh on flesh, can it? The arcane can never truly be mundane. And here I thought I was the decadent one of our group. No... no, look at you.”
He trails a hand up his stomach. Gale is firm to the touch, solid and real. So real. More real than Astarion’s used to, for sure. The human’s breath hitches when he presses his palm to the center of his chest just under the mark on his sternum and hitches further when their eyes meet.
“Leather, lace, netting, hide, and fur. Cool air on warm skin. Herb that hits smooth and gives a calming high. Smoked meats, nutty cheeses, honey and jam, a good glass of red wine. You’re a glutton, aren’t you?”
--
Gale sneaks away from camp for some alone time, Astarion follows, and they have a great time.

Summary
They’d wandered from camp, as quiet as they could and into one of the many abandoned buildings surrounding them. They had cleared it out that day and knowing that there are no beasts or creatures or gith to surprise them—it became a perfect place to indulge.

Summary
“I am not eager to throw myself upon another altar for naught but scraps in return.” Gale steels himself with a deep breath. He speaks his peace to the wilds and the cosmos rather than his lover's face. “And yet. Marble skin, silver tongue... eyes like Moonsea rubies. Oh, you cast a fine altar, Astarion.”
With two discerning appetites, a deal to keep each other fed is the one thing that ties Astarion and Gale together. But the proverbial collar slips all too easily around Gale's throat, the lead feels right in Astarion's unchained hands, and both men think they've bested the other in a game neither should be playing.
In any case. As the greats say in lanceboard: there is no shame in losing to a stronger foe.

“How did you even get in? I very definitely remember locking up.”
“Ah,” Gale looks ever-so-slightly abashed. Only slightly, though. Mostly he looks a little proud of himself. “You know how the receptionist is always asleep?”
Astarion's eyebrows shoot up.
“Gale Dekarios, you shady thing.”
“I only borrowed it! He's never been awake enough to ask about spares, so. It was easier to just sort it out myself.”
“It would have been easier to ask me,” Astarion points out.
“Mmmm,” Gale hums, doubtfully. “I don't know if I'd ever consider you the ‘easier’ option, Astarion, I feel that would be doing your commitment to cantankerousness a great disservice.”
I'd be extremely easy if you weren't so fucking annoying, Astarion thinks.
