    Summary

    That is the real generosity at the heart of his offer, Astarion supposes. There is no expectation. He is free to let his mask slip, free to disengage without any dreadful, half-truth excuses when it does. He’s been given a willing body to taste at his leisure. Astarion may come, if he wishes to. Or he may not. A smile, a shrug, and no further justification needed on either side. All that matters is what he wants.

    Ugh. He does hate that Gale is so thoughtful.

    Summary

    Following a smidge of time-line fuckery, Gale meets a handsome stranger in the Yawning Portal - a stranger who seems to know far too much about him, to be far too invested in his life and his happiness, and to be far too attractive to let slip through his fingers.

    The stranger also happens to be an incredibly welcome distraction from the otherwise miserable and confusing hellscape that is Gale Dekarios's personal life. His mother worries about him constantly, his familiar won't talk to him about anything that matters, his mentor won't tell him anything useful, and his goddess is making cryptic and increasing demands.

    OR: Gale meets a handsome vampire in 1487 who seems deadset on making all his problems go away, with some strings attached.

    Summary

    Astarion had spent ten years perfecting his craft and he was good at it. A little wine here, a little lean there, a bat of the eye-lashes, and maybe getting on his knees in an alley, and they were his - love-struck, dumb, and compliant. They were ready to follow him 'home' - back to the palace. So what if he was wracked by guilt every waking second that he wasn't being tortured or abused? It got the job done and kept his master happy.

    So why exactly was this stranger in a terribly ugly purple tunic sticking his oar in?

    OR: Astarion meets a mysterious wizard in Elfsong Tavern in 1278 who promises to make all his problems go away, with no strings attached.

    Summary

    Just because Gale is nursing some kind of… flame for Astarion—spluttering and flaring but never extinguished, just like the magic within him—there is no reason for their plans to be derailed. There is no need to consider the ache of his own heart when the light of the campfire catches Astarion at a certain angle. The pleasure of his company in Waterdeep will be more than enough to keep Gale content.
