Summary
Not far from Creche Y'llek, Gale sits near the edge of a ravine contemplating what to do about Mystra's directive on using the orb. But as he stares at the night sky, his mind focuses on Astarion, the man he is hopelessly in love with.
Concerned for Gale's well-being, Astarion leaves camp to search for him across the craggy terrain. It doesn't take Astarion long to find Gale and join him on the mossy rocks, discussing the drastic choice presented to him regarding the orb.
After travelling together for almost two months, feelings that had steadily grown bubble to the surface, prompting a long overdue conversation between them.

Summary
Following the acquisition of Aumar Technology Group by Ascension, Astarion gets saddled with managing the worst product imaginable: a smart bed. To make matters worse, the lead engineer, Gale Dekarios, is a thorn in his side.
Gale feels much the same now that he works under the clueless and tempestuous Astarion Ancunin who doesn’t know the first thing about engineering. They are constantly butting heads, and now have to create a ridiculous product no one asked for.
When Cazador sends them off to the Faerun Electronics Expo and Trade Show (FEETS for short) to demo the smart bed, things quickly go awry— and so does any professionalism between them.

Summary
The Brain has fallen. Cazador was defeated. Mystra (barely) pacified. Yet, Astarion desired more than a life in the shadows of his new home in Waterdeep. He wanted sunlight, and knew just the wizard who could help him achieve that- Gale. Unfortunately for Gale, it would cost him everything that made him the wizard he was, leading the pair on a complicated adventure to regain what he lost. One filled with danger, the dead and undead alike, and romance neither of them anticipated, all on that Path to Netheril.
(Inspired and loosely based on The Road to El Dorado- and it is entirely the song's 'It's tough to be a God' fault that this exists.)

Summary
Gale is eager to show Astarion everything Lliira's Night has to offer, but a chance encounter with an old schoolmate seems set to derail those plans before they can even begin.
As jealousy spikes high, Astarion may just have to remind Gale exactly who he married, and ensure the past remains in the past.

Summary
Geir Dagrsson knows three things: cattle die, kinsmen die, but the one thing that doesn’t is a man’s deeds. He just didn’t expect his greatest one to be marrying the brat prince of East Anglia, and worst of all, the son of one of his father’s killers: a Saxon.
Ӕlfstan, son of Cadwallon, loathes the heathens plaguing their lands. When he is sold off in marriage to one, he will do whatever it takes to free himself from the man, his father’s wishes be damned. The Viking he is promised to also proves to be just as irritating as he expected.
Little do they both know, sinister forces are looking to sow more discord between the denizens of East Anglia, with Geir and Ӕlfstan at the centre of it all.
