    Summary

    “He was so eager to do anything to gain forgiveness. So desperate. And at the same time so dispendable. I knew the feeling well. He was enslaved. Groomed. Used. My master at least gave me the dignity to not pretend to love me. To not make me believe that this was normal. I loved him then. Gale. And I knew that there wasn’t space for anyone but Mystra. Anything but that strive for power for something to set him free and give him dignity.”

    Nothing survived ascencion. Not quite as it had been. No guilt, certainly. No shame. Not the pain and scars and fears, Cazador had instilled in him for two centuries.
    But something was there and it did not feel like an echo or a warped memory. It felt evolved. It felt like something that had grown teeth.

    “I think” Astarion said and it was in a whisper, because all secrets should be whispered, “I love him still.”

    Summary

    “I am not eager to throw myself upon another altar for naught but scraps in return.” Gale steels himself with a deep breath. He speaks his peace to the wilds and the cosmos rather than his lover's face. “And yet. Marble skin, silver tongue... eyes like Moonsea rubies. Oh, you cast a fine altar, Astarion.”

    With two discerning appetites, a deal to keep each other fed is the one thing that ties Astarion and Gale together. But the proverbial collar slips all too easily around Gale's throat, the lead feels right in Astarion's unchained hands, and both men think they've bested the other in a game neither should be playing.

    In any case. As the greats say in lanceboard: there is no shame in losing to a stronger foe.

    Summary

    The darkest night has finally yielded to dawn, and Thancred finds himself eager to bear his burdens alone with a smile, as always.

    But Urianger will not have it. The cracks in an exhausted psyche must be filled before they inevitably give. If only the words 'I love you' could suffice.

    Summary

    The topic of love didn’t come up again for a while. The three of them fell into an easy routine. There were rarely any arguments; they were getting along even better than they had in the Organization. Axel really had no complaints.

    For now, life was simple. Uncomplicated.

    “Axel? C-Can we, um… talkaboutsex?”

    Ah, shit.
