    Summary

    “Have you heard about the big uproar that happened seven years ago?”

    “What?”

    “I mean the fight between Zestiel and the radio demon.”

    “I, wha, no!” Angel shook his head. “I don’t care about overlord politics!”

    “Zestiel had found his soulmate!” Husker explained. “But her soul was owned by the radio demon. Enraged Zestiel demanded her soul from the other overord but of course Alastor didn’t want to give his trump card against such a powerful demon away. Do you know how the conflict ended?”

    “No,” Angel whispered.

    “All overlords, every single one, turned against Alastor demanding from him to give her soul to Zestiel. There was not a single one on his side because if one overlord could use the soulmate of another overlord against him than this could happen to anyone. No overlord could ever know themselves and their loved ones save again.”

    “Why,” Angel swallowed already suspecting the answer to his question. “Why are you telling me this?”

    “Because I am an overlord and once you tell me who you sold your soul too I will come with every overlord at my back and take what is mine!”

    "No!"

    How would a story about Soulmates look in a world where you can sell your soul?

    Summary

    Despite what Alastor just said about wanting to observe, he immediately looks off to the side and keeps his eyes on the floor until Vox pointedly slams the detached piece onto the nearest empty shelf. It rolls a few inches away from him.
    “There. It’s off. Happy?”
    Alastor refocuses, first on Vox’s glowering face and then lower down. And just for a second, the mask slips. His smile remains in place, but a soft breath escapes. He takes a tentative step closer.
    That,” Alastor says, in a very different tone than before. “Could your surgeons construct something similar to that on a flesh-and-blood body?”
    That being… nothing.”
    “Precisely.” For the first time tonight, Vox hears a hungry, covetous edge to his voice. “Nothing at all.”

    Vox has attained a bodily state Alastor thought unrealizable. The humbling ordeal of asking for and then receiving the same will ultimately sand down both their rough edges—at least in relation to one another. (Post–season 2 fic)

    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

    “So you should be able to come now that the orb is stabilized, right?”

    After more than a month of travelling together, he has yet to have a conversation with Astarion which did not induce whiplash. It just typically happens in the middle of a conversation. It doesn’t set him at ease to have it happen up front. Heat crawls up his face and he sits up because he’s not sure lying down while having whatever in the Hells this conversation is going to be is advisable.

    “You know, most people announce themselves before entering someone else’s tent, and perhaps even start conversations with a greeting,” Gale scolds, snapping his book shut.

    Astarion plasters on one of his sharpest artificial smiles and says, with that pleasant, hollow affect he knows Gale can’t stand, “Hello, Gale. What do you think about this weather we’re having? Shadows with a chance of raving cultists for the foreseeable future! Now will you answer my question?”
