Summary
“The book,” Gale urged. “Open up the damned book! Find out what this is.”
Astarion nearly dropped it trying to retrieve it from his pack. “Are the spores dangerous??”
“I don’t know.” Gale tried to wipe off as much as he could, but his skin felt like it was on fire. In fact, his whole body had begun to feel rather feverish.
Astarion skimmed the words, rapidly turning the pages. “Red cap… pink stalk… trumpet shaped…” his finger suddenly landed on a line, eyes widening. “This! Lushcap. Sometimes known as Nymph Blush.”
“It releases spores that, upon contact, affects the body almost instantly,” he read, his expression growing a bit more nervous. “Symptoms include warming of the extremities, shortness of breath, increased heart rate, dizziness, and decreased spatial awareness. This is because Lushcap acts as a powerful…”
Astarion trailed off suddenly.
Gale stared at him, waiting for him to go on. Astarion opened his mouth and shut it a few times.
“What?” Gale pressed.
A powerful what? Toxin? Paralytic? Parasitic organism?
“Astarion.”
Astarion finally looked up at him, looking both amused and on the edge of a nervous breakdown. “… Aphrodisiac.”

Summary
Gale likes the idea of being thrown around, but he would never dream of asking for such a thing. When Astarion finds out about this little fantasy of his, he makes it his mission to get the poor wizard what he wants. The problem, unfortunately, is that he knows what his strengths are and... strength is not one of them.
Luckily for both of them, he knows just the right man for the job.

Summary
“You’re mine now, darling,” Astarion whispers against sensitive, flushed tanned flesh. “Just mine,” as teeth drag innocently against a vein, not biting, not piercing, but there, so, so, intoxicatingly there. Gale feels lightheaded.
“You owe her nothing, she has no hold over you, not anymore. No, that is for me, and me alone. I do so dread to share, you know,” He purrs, and Gale lets out a bated breath-turned-whimper when Astarion’s lips make their way up his jaw and to his ear, taking the flesh between sharp points and nipping.
One of the wizard’s hands comes to brace himself, right atop and over the vampire’s unbeating heart. His fingernails dig into the leather armor that covers Astarion’s pale skin longingly, bordering on desperate. Gale doesn’t know why, doesn’t know how, but near every part of his body that makes him him, every bone, every cell, every atom that builds his soul, is begging him to simply let the vampire take. For him to ravish, and bite, and suck, to take and take and take, until it’s inconceivable to him where Gale Dekarios ends, and Astarion Ancunín begins.
Oh, how he wants.
How he craves.

“I’ll have you know that I fully intended to take care of myself this evening, whether before or after your appearance!” Gale huffed, “… And I don’t see what is so scandalous about being prepared!”
Gale finds himself in a bit of an awkward situation, and for once Astarion is happy to lend a hand.

Astarion's hand climbs the heft of Gale’s leg and they fall open so easily it is almost wicked. “What a state you’ve found yourself in, Gale.”
Something strange happens when the wizard consumes the Weave.

Summary
That is the real generosity at the heart of his offer, Astarion supposes. There is no expectation. He is free to let his mask slip, free to disengage without any dreadful, half-truth excuses when it does. He’s been given a willing body to taste at his leisure. Astarion may come, if he wishes to. Or he may not. A smile, a shrug, and no further justification needed on either side. All that matters is what he wants.
Ugh. He does hate that Gale is so thoughtful.

Summary
“I appreciate your concern, if you can call it that. But,” Gale grimaces as he peeks an ankle through the slit in the robe. One of the slits. Because there are two, one for each leg, each high enough to almost reach the hem of his briefs. “I’m a bit… exposed, don’t you think?”
Astarion tips his head, then simply reaches out to pull the fabric wider. Gale recoils on instinct, which of course just leads to the whole of his thigh being bared instead. “Well, this is an easy fix. I’ve got just the thing.”

Summary
Just a short claw-length away, another hermit crab stares back at him. A male. His pheromones drift on the current.
This one is smaller and slimmer, shell so pale it almost seems carved from moonlight. With a body that's translucently white, the faint workings beneath his shell are just barely visible. A pump of blood rushing fast and erratic. Red eyes gleam at Gale, wide and startled.
Along the back of this pale one's carapace runs a thin, healed crack, discolored and jagged like an old fault line in stone. It tells a story of pain, when safety could not be found, when something vast must have crushed down upon this poor crab and ignored his shell.
Or what passes for a shell. Because this hermit crab seems to be in a similar predicament to Gale.

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
He turned to Gale after the initial shock faded, holding the collar up for him to inspect.
"This is magic," Astarion pointed out.
"Indeed," said Gale, eyes narrowed at it. "A rather... simple kind, but effective, given the purpose as it were. Rather clever way to call a trained dog home."
"How simple?"
At that, Gale's calculating gaze flicked to Astarion. He smiled very, very slowly.
"A matter of attunement?" Gale surmised. "After that, I could enchant practically anything."
Gale helps Astarion rediscover self-pleasure without (technically) touching him.

Gale keeps wearing his hair up in a bun and exposing the long, beautiful stretch of his neck and it is driving Astarion mad. He is certain that the wizard is doing it on purpose now but he cannot stop staring and eventually doing something about it. Which includes ruining Gale's hairdo.

In which Astarion is an ex-olympic figure skater and Gale is a famous musician. They get paired together as Dancing on Ice's first ever same sex couple. Shenanigans ensue.

“How did you even get in? I very definitely remember locking up.”
“Ah,” Gale looks ever-so-slightly abashed. Only slightly, though. Mostly he looks a little proud of himself. “You know how the receptionist is always asleep?”
Astarion's eyebrows shoot up.
“Gale Dekarios, you shady thing.”
“I only borrowed it! He's never been awake enough to ask about spares, so. It was easier to just sort it out myself.”
“It would have been easier to ask me,” Astarion points out.
“Mmmm,” Gale hums, doubtfully. “I don't know if I'd ever consider you the ‘easier’ option, Astarion, I feel that would be doing your commitment to cantankerousness a great disservice.”
I'd be extremely easy if you weren't so fucking annoying, Astarion thinks.

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.
