    Summary

    Four years ago, sex worker Astarion made the decision to move from the Flophouse to a higher end brothel. The work at the Palace is worse but the money is worth it - or so he tells himself.

    So when a rich, dorky wizard turns up in his rooms, it means nothing to him - just another client, right?

    Right??

    Summary

    Astarion has spent his entire life scamming people. He's also done a good job of convincing himself he doesn't care, and that they're just as awful as he is, and maybe they deserve it. Even if they don't, he can't get away from it. He's trapped under Cazador's thumb. He doesn't think love exists.

    Gale has spent the last few years convincing himself that he doesn't need love. Really, he's happy with his day job and his mother and his son. That's enough. Putting himself out there again could hurt. He doesn't think love is worth the risk.

    Fate has a funny way of not caring what a person thinks.

    Summary

    Post game events.
    Durge Ellith (Half-drow bard - they/them) resisted Bhaal and saved the Gate, and although they are having a happy, fulfilling life with Radiant Astarion, they still struggle with a lot of things.
    I wanted to explore the healing process and how fragile it is, because healing takes time and is never linear.

    Summary

    It took Astarion nearly a century to save enough to get out, another decade to complete the rigorous screening and training process to be accepted into the Weave Institute’s Guardian Program.

    The mission was simple. He would be the sole crew member on a small colony ship, watching over the colonists and crew while they were in cold sleep on a journey to a distant corner of the galaxy. The trip would be longer than the human lifespan. Elves were highly sought after as Guardians. Their naturally longer lifespan made them uniquely suited to shepherding sleepers on decades-long trips. The longer the trip the higher the pay.

    He would be assisted by the ship's highly advanced AI program, his only companion on the long journey.
