Summary
Astarion meant to let that be that. He turned heel and walked toward camp, expecting Gale to fall in step behind him. It was always so easy to predict the wizard's actions. Always easy to tell what he would do next.
But then again…
“What about you, Astarion?”
There was always room for surprises.
“If that’s true, what am I to you, then?” Gale’s voice was soft. Vulnerable.
Astarion hated vulnerable things.
---
Astarion had been forced into absolute obedience. Gale was expected to provide absolute subservience. It was all they knew for so long, that bereft of their masters they had nothing else.
They try to find something else on their journey, and begrudgingly finding something else in each other.

Summary
Gale Dekarios has sworn he’ll never marry again. Five years after his bitter divorce from Mystra, the billionaire CEO has no interest in relationships, commitment, or so-called “happily ever afters.” His company, Ascension Developments, comes first, and with an empire to protect, the last thing he needs is someone distracting him. Or worse, walking away with half of everything he built. Again.
So when he’s forced to interact with the general public, he’s expecting the most irritating day of his life. Spending five hours with a gorgeous stranger in his arms at thirty-thousand feet, however, was a pleasant surprise. He just wasn’t expecting that stranger to be his new assistant.

Soon he befriends the handsome shopkeeper, and Astarion realises there might be more to life than work.

Summary
Several months had passed since Gale’s marriage to Mystra ended, and the idea of diving back into the dating world held little appeal. After a series of disastrous first dates arranged by well-meaning friends, Gale reluctantly agreed to try out a new dating app, only to discover it was more geared toward casual hook-ups than finding a meaningful relationship.
Despite his initial reservations, Gale spent an evening testing the app, scrolling through profiles until he paused on one that caught his eye - a stunning, pale elf with the username Starlight69. On impulse, he marked the profile as a favourite and decided to call it a night. But just as he was about to put his phone away, a message from Starlight69 appeared on his screen…
Starlight69: Hello, darling~ 😈
Without hesitation, Astarion attached a rather flattering photo of himself - nude, of course.

Summary
What happens when the world moves on - and you remain stuck in place?
In high school, Gale drags a protesting Astarion to the new Dungeons and Dragons club, building a world of fantasy and friendships that lasts a lifetime.
Or does it?
Ten years later, everyone has moved on - except Astarion.
When the club finds themselves reunited unexpectedly, Gale and Astarion realize that ten years may have not been quite enough to get over the hurt that still burns between them.
A story of growing up, forgiveness, and miscommunications - with a dose of DND. :)
With lots of art from the incredibly talented adsu-shy!
