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
“There are better ways to go about this if I wish to speak to someone anonymously,” Gale points out. Shadowheart shrugs, winking at him.
“Sure, but this is possibly the most satisfying one,” she says, and fine, Gale can’t argue with that. But still. Such conversations are surface level at best, and transactional at worst. Besides, it’s not in his nature to consume live internet pornography. He has no desire to share such an intimate act with a complete stranger.
“I would really rather see a therapist,” he says.
Fresh out of a messy divorce, disgraced academic Gale Dekarios finds himself biting off more than he can chew when a seemingly innocuous encounter with an enigmatic camboy, Star, leads him down a precarious path of lies, liberation and eventually—love.

Summary
“You can’t blame this on the tadpoles, wizard. They’ve never gotten your heart racing like *this* before. And they’ve certainly never made your cheeks so deliciously flushed.”
~/~
Gale finds something intriguing in the Arcane Tower, and Astarion is all too happy to help him indulge.

Summary
To 'sing without an audience'.
That was how Gale had described it. To have sex without having to perform, having to slip on that mask he so easily wore to the benefit of his bed mates. He could just...take it off. With the snap of his fingers.
Or in this case, with the swallow of a potion.Bookmarked by shittybat

Summary
Astarion despises Gale almost as much as he despises the gods for having left him to rot. He endeavors to find out exactly what about the wizard drew Mystra's attention.
aka. "Fuck me. Show me what made you worthy of divine intervention."
