    Summary

    “Why are you so kind to me, Gale?”

    The movement at his temples faltered but didn’t stop. That foreign look that the human refused to explain took control of his face, this time accompanied by a soft smile.

    “Is it truly so unbelievable for me to think you deserve kindness?”

    Astarion reached up and circled his fingers around the wizard’s wrist, halting him. Something ignited at the contact. Something that alarmed the vampire. He found Gale’s startled eyes with his own and simply stared up at him. The warm pulse he could feel in the vein beneath his fingers quickened. Was he afraid? No. Of all the odd things that swam about in the other’s gaze, fear was not one of them. This feeling…was similar to what he remembered his victims experiencing in brothels and dark alleyways moments before he seduced them towards their untimely demise. This was…a desire. A want. A need to be near someone. Had he…somehow unintentionally seduced this man? Something undesirable twisted in his gut, and it wasn’t due to his injuries.

    Summary

    Astarion just needs to stick to the plan: the same two-part code of conduct that has kept him alive the last two centuries could surely last another month.
    Step 1: make him fall.

    Step 2: do not fall in return.

    Summary

    In the crumbling depths of the Underdark, Astarion has carved out a fragile sanctuary for the spawn he freed—and now leads. Gale, no longer a divine errand boy and with no adventure left to occupy him, arrives seeking purpose—and finds only rot. He tells himself it’s altruism. It might even be friendship. But Gale’s never been good at lying, not even to himself.

    Can he survive what the Underdark demands of him? What Astarion wants from him? Or is he simply chasing redemption in all the wrong places?

    Summary

    This is a slow-paced, heavily altered adaptation of Baldur’s Gate 3 with Astarion as the imperfect, dramatic, and exceptionally vigilant narrator. It is gory, action-packed, and slow to build, with the main story taking a backseat to a character-driven and character-focused narrative set in the vast and dangerous land of Faerun. Gale Dekarios leads a group of misfits and weirdos along a path full of peril, loss, healing, and whimsy, seeking both a cure to the tadpoles in their skulls and to heal from the scars that haunt them.

    Oh yeah, and Astarion accidentally falls for an idiot of a wizard he only meant to use for his revenge.
