Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a gentleman who returns from war after eight years must be in want of a spouse. When rumours of Captain Gale Dekarios's exploits in battle become the talk of the ton, disgraced Mr. Astarion Szarr can only hope that his closest friend, and the secret holder of his heart, might come to return his long-buried affections.
With stunning art inside from the incredible Calolily!

Summary
It should have been a no-brainer, really. Ghost should have balked at the thought of spending time in close proximity to any of his colleagues, let alone the one man that he actually had the potential to disappoint. That was his rule — distance meant safety.
It should have been an easy answer.
—
When the news of three weeks’ forced leave reaches Ghost, he’s resigned himself to loneliness in an empty base. That is, until a certain Sergeant offers him an invitation he just can’t seem to refuse.
Or: the sheep farming fic nobody asked for

Summary
From the moment he found himself at the Nautiloid crash site, the chains of his compulsion broken, Astarion had one objective: to kill Cazador or die trying. To take back his life. He never gave much thought to what he would do after, or if he even knew what it meant to live.
It was some small comfort that Gale of Waterdeep seemed similarly unmoored.

Summary
Astarion believes his only worth is what he had to offer—namely, archery and his body. Gale tries to convince him otherwise.

Summary
These days, most everybody in camp had learned to wave away Astarion’s advances with a laugh. They found the flirtation titillating, Gale figured, or a bit threatening, or some combination of the two. He wondered if anybody else found it sad.
--
Good old-fashioned rumination on choice and compulsion. Gale and Astarion shake off their metaphorical shackles.- Language:

Summary
Astarion is near the docks when he feels Cazador's compulsion on him snap. He doesn't think twice. He just takes the next available ship out of Baldur's Gate. Its destination: The City of Splendors. Waterdeep.
*
Gale takes back the glass, now empty, and then seems to fidget a little. “There is something I wanted to get your opinion on- but it can wait until you’ve recovered. You don’t look well at all- no offense meant, of course.”
“None taken,” Astarion says sweetly. “Please go on. Tell me exactly what it is about my appearance that you find lacking.”

Summary
There is a man who lives inside the Soldier’s head.
The Soldier does not know much about the man. The man is an American, and he fought in one of the few twentieth-century wars the Soldier had not—if only because he did not exist yet. At some point, a war pitted their home countries against each other, but that did not put much of a damper on things. They are good friends.
Here is how the Winter Soldier dies: the resurrection of James Barnes.
An account of Bucky's time in Bucharest.

Summary
The son of the man who lost the Eagle of the Ninth would never be allowed a first command of his very own fort, would he?
Marcus is posted not to Isca Dumnoniorum, but to a wretched and run-down garrison north of the Wall. There he finds that he is the new centurion of a group of scouts and spies, all of them British. He has few supplies and no experience. His men distrust him. His superiors despise him. His second-in-command is an incompetent drunkard. And the local tribes are determined to kill all of them.
But the worst thing of all is one of Marcus' soldiers. He is an enigmatic, dangerous, and insubordinate man by the name of Esca, who makes Marcus yearn for terrifying things he has never before wanted and can never, ever let himself have...

Summary
«Uhm,» dice, a nessuno in particolare, mentre il gatto sbucato da chissà dove continua a prendergli a testate una gamba, e poi, non contento, ci si struscia contro. È normale che ci sia un gatto libero in giro? È fuggito da qualche gabbia? Deve chiamare qualcuno? «Uhm,» ripete, e il gatto fa due giri attorno alle sue gambe, miagola, e poi gli salta in gambe.
Più o meno.
Matt e Foggy si dichiarano, vanno a vivere insieme e adottano un gatto. (Non esattamente in quest'ordine.)Series
