    Summary

    Astarion lets his eyes slip closed, the words soaking into him. “Poor little Chosen,” he teases, studying the faint lines of the orb as they trickle down from his under eye. “He doesn’t know how to do anything but worship.”

    “Let me show you. Please.”

    “I like it when you beg.”

    “Astarion.” His name is like honey, like chocolate, like wine. Something decadent, every syllable indulged. “I’ve already availed you of one of my talents this evening—“

    “Cocky.”

    “—and I am eager to avail you of another.”

    Summary

    “Why does your blood smell so strange?”

    The question startled Gale, who looked up from where he sat cross-legged in front of his tent, organizing his scrolls in preparation for their upcoming “visit” to the goblin camp. He’d given Astarion a wide berth since the revelation of his vampiric condition a few days earlier, so he was surprised to see the pale elf looming over him now, a peculiar expression on his face.

    “You know,” Gale offered with a smile, “in my extensive journeys across manifold realms, I do believe that is not a question that I’ve ever been asked before. I honestly can’t decide whether or not I should be offended.”

    -

    Of the many side effects Gale has faced as a result of his whole “being physical host to an imminently destructive magical orb” problem, he somehow never anticipated his blood now apparently smelling irresistible to vampires (or at least, one particular vampire) to be one of them.

    Summary

    “Ah,” Gale startled, “Forgive me. I may have had a little too much to drink, I’m afraid.”

    The stranger chuckled, and the sound slid like silk down Gale’s spine.

    “What’s the occasion, may I ask?”

    “The worst day of my life,” Gale replied, louder than he meant to. He raised his glass in a mock toast and tossed the last of the bourbon back.

    Summary


    “Sometimes I worry about you, Astarion,” Gale said. His voice sounded faraway, soft with concern. “As someone who spent a year deprived of even the smallest human touch - it’s no way to live. The thought of you all alone in that cavernous palace, with all the memories it must hold, I…well.”

    He was right. Astarion opened his eyes and looked sideways at the small glowing stone. A poor surrogate of a bedpartner.

    The problem was, hope could be a stubborn thing. And he still clung to the one that someday he would look over and see Gale beside him.

    Five years later, Astarion is still in love with Gale. One day he finally gets the chance to demonstrate how much.
