Summary
The last thing Astarion expected was to find a job so quickly, let alone working for one of the most accomplished wizards of this time. The best part? He wasn't even working in the book part of the bookstore! But part of him longed to see the wizard more... Meanwhile, Gale is ever stressed and needs help anywhere he can, especially since absorbing that cafe in the corner of his store, but there's something about that new barista...
In which Gale is in the middle of a nasty divorce from Mystra, and Astarion is running from his past life working for Cazador. Will the two be able to navigate their feelings for each other and get out unscathed? Or will their pasts push them further apart?

Summary
“You are so good to me.”
It is only because he is so close that he notices the subtle stiffening. Gale’s jaw clenches, for a moment, as blood pinkens the tip of his ear, then rushes to his cheek and nose. It lingers and just as Astarion notices the quickening of Gale’s pulse, he speaks, “It was nothing; Haldark’s is barely out of my way.”
His voice is a touch too high and Astarion eyes him curiously, an idea niggling at the back of his mind.
“Still,” Astarion whispers, once again nosing along the line of Gale’s neck to find a soft place to kiss him. After lingering in it a moment, he pulls back to watch Gale’s face and finishes, “You are always so good for me.”
-----
Astarion just wanted to goad Gale into running an errand with him. Instead, he discovers a new kink of Gale's they've yet to explore and oh, do they explore it.

Summary
"We haven't spoken since that day you left, but you... you thought of me?"
Astarion hesitates, hope a fragile thing, doubly so for his double desires. "All this time?"
Gale chuckles at that - if he only knew the days and nights he ticked away thinking of him, worrying for his safety. Truthfully, he thought often of their entire party. He worried about Karlach and Wyll in Avernus, of Lae'zel in the astral plane, of Shadowheart and her parents - but no single member of their party occupied his thoughts like Astarion. In ways he never considered, Astarion took up residence in his mind, in his heart. Gale smiled softly, running his fingers through his greying hair. "Of course.”
—
Having gone their separate ways after the fall of The Absolute, Gale and Astarion meet once more at the reunion party and discover they’d both been rather foolish.

Summary
Gale has always carried himself with grace and intelligence, but when it comes to matters of the heart, his confidence falters. Convinced that his feelings for Sarah are one-sided, he hides his affection behind gentle smiles and wistful glances. But when the truth comes to light—that Sarah's heart beats for him just as fiercely—a quiet evening in his tower turns into something unforgettable. With a little push from a certain silver-tongued vampire, sparks ignite, and the passion simmering beneath the surface finally bursts into flame.

Summary
Your mentor has always been a rather curious character - Sweet, but certainly strange. Talkative, but secretive. Plus, there's the whole consuming-magical-artifacts-to-feed-the-weird-orb-in-his-chest thing.
Nothing could have prepared you for the confession of his impending death. Nothing could have prepared you to be left to clean up his mess as he ventures off on a literal suicide mission.
And you're even less prepared when the mind flayers strike, leaving you and a sassy companion to embark on a journey to save the man who was once so accepting of his demise.
