Summary
‘I have already given up my life for yours,’ Dorian said. ‘Now you expect me to give up the ideals I grew up with? Just like that?’
‘Yes,’ Lavellan replied. ‘I had to.’
‘Then you know how it feels.’
Lavellan has to be someone for everyone. For his people, a sacrifice - sundered from his clan in order to save them all. For the Inquisition, an icon - more embodiment of hope than man. For his advisors, a peace-maker - tasked with the choice and the consequence. Each iteration of himself is a necessary falsification, because for himself, he is a protector, maintaining the emotional walls that shield the volatile liability he knows he really is.
Dorian sees through his pretenses.

Summary
Astarion found himself watching Gale more than he was watching Dirty Dancing. He looked quite young to be getting divorced, he thought to himself. The gossip in him was dying to know the full story, but he knew full well that it would be really stupid to start prying into a practical stranger’s personal life.
As he was about to ask, because fuck it, he was probably never seeing this man again, Gale reached below his seat and grabbed a notebook and pen from a satchel. A satchel. The man was going on what amounted to a mid life crisis of a holiday (or, to be fairer to him, a third of a life crisis, because he looked to be about Astarion’s age), and he’d brought a satchel?!
**
Lawyer Astarion Ancunín had a chance encounter with film professor Gale Dekarios on a flight to New York. And then another chance encounter at a bar. And when he found out he’s in the middle of a messy divorce, well, what was Astarion to do? Aside from sleep with him, which was obviously a given.
Astarion didn’t believe in love stories. But life had accidentally thrown him into one of his own.

Summary
In the next moment there were two things that happened.
One, Gale’s subpar human eyes finally began adjusting to the darkness of the ill-lit tent.
Two, Gale’s subpar human eyes noticed that Astarion’s boots were conspicuously absent. As Astarion flopped atop the mountain of pillows again, Gale also noticed that Astarion’s toenails were painted a deep, glossy black.

Summary
The vampire's eyes are wide and round, full of amazement. They dart wildly around the sights below, as if trying to see everything at once. The lights of the city reflect upon his face, soft shadows dancing across his elegant features. The very tips of his fangs are visible from his parted lips.
The radiance of the city pales in comparison.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧
Two months after the brain falls, Baldur's Gate has picked up most of the pieces. The heroes that saved Faerûn have been there through most of it, helping the city get back on its feet. But now it's time to move on. Old lives and families to return to. Gale is going back to his tower in Waterdeep, back to the quiet, back to being alone; or at least, that was the plan. But plans change.
This is a story about falling in love.
