Summary
So after playing both their origins, I figured these two would fit very well together. I wanted to really delve into Astarion's trauma, his lack of recognising his own boundaries and how to navigate them, and how the world's softest wizard might react to helping him through this trauma. In short, Astarion learns that saying no is okay, and that consent can be retracted, because what he wants it actually important. I just thought he deserved some softness. <3
I imagined this set after a romance that's a combination of both their routes; a hook up at the party, a love confession from Gale under the stars followed by a magical trip under the weave, and now they're navigating this new relationship together.

Summary
You were the first to tell him you loved him. The first to hold him close, cheek pressed upon his heart as you lay together. First to massage the scars lining his back, fingertips drawing constellations upon the skin marred by fleshy pink script.
You were his first for many things.
And it seems you have found just one more thing to mark down on that extensive list.
“What are you doing?” he asked, slender brows furrowing as his gaze met yours.
He looked almost uncertain. You even swore you could catch a twinge of fear lacing the look.
“Holding your hand,” you say.

Summary
Astarion blinks back in confusion.
Unsure why he opened the door when the house isn’t even his. He wasn’t expecting anyone, and the normality of the greeting took him aback.
“Please excuse my husband,” Gale’s voice suddenly appears from behind. Finally making it to the door with an apologetic smile and a hand running through his deep brown hair. “He’s still new to Waterdeep.”

Astarion does what he knows best.
This time, though, he'll get to taste the rewards for himself.

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.
