    Summary

    His foolishness is what made him deserve it. That’s the reason Astarion latched onto when the familiar sickness rose in his throat as he spun his pretty web. When guilt or shame creeped in at Gale’s wide, adoring eyes and smile, Astarion reminded himself that if he wasn't the one to take advantage, someone worse would. He was doing Gale a favor, even. The weak would be taken advantage of, and Astarion refused to be the weak.

    A progression of scenes following Astarion's manipulation of Gale, and the complicated feelings that accompany it.

    Summary

    To Gale, working with Gortash is a bitter pill he must swallow, but one he can chase with the sweetness of the Crown in his capable hands.

    To Astarion, it’s pure hedonism and power. It’s a section of the city in the palm of a pair of new gauntlets. It’s blood from a populace who will never tell him no again, and it's Gale at his feet.

    But the aloof housecat often thinks itself a ruler on high over the loyal pup, even when they both wear the master's collar and eat his of scraps.

    Enver has come to enjoy their meals together.

    Summary

    No matter the circumstance, he couldn’t tear the thought of that erstwhile deity from his mind. The very first of his spawn, the one who dared escape his clutches the first chance he got, the ungrateful little wizard.

     

    Gale stalked his every waking thought; he could hear his whispered mocking laughter in his ear when he draped himself in finery to step into the sun, heard his pedantic voice barking in his mind whenever he found himself making any sort of administrative or grammatical error… he could almost feel his breath against his neck whenever he came. No matter how far back in his mind he tried to push the wizard, he continued to tease at him, lurking just out of sight. Out of reach…

     

    Months after the defeat of the Absolute, the Vampire Lord Astarion heads to a newly forged Galerian temple in Amn to reclaim what is rightfully his.

    Summary

    “Of all the people I could’ve gotten stuck with, it had to be you.”

    Gale scoffs and winces when the slight motion of his chest shifts the spear again. “Begging your pardon for the inconvenience, but if it’s any consolation, the prospect of spending my last moments with you isn’t exactly thrilling for me, either.”

    Astarion crosses his arms. “Glad we agree on something.”

    ------

    Gale and Astarion are caught in a cave-in and no one has a good time. Takes place somewhere in Act 1.

    Summary

    He follows the rest of the party, not sure what he’s suspecting to see. Gale knocked out, maybe. He was ready to disarm a trap, or stab another undead soldier. He was not ready for a human child, sleeping in an oversized violet robe. Gale’s robe.

    Oh, there is no fucking way.

     

    ( After a magical mishap with a potion, the party finds themselves looking after a 7 year old Gale. Needless to say, this puts a wrench in Astarion's plans. )
