    Summary

    Something is sniffing him: cold, loud, ragged breaths dragging through his hair, his neck, his clothes.

    “Please, whatever you are. Help me, I beg you.”

    Summary:
    What could end a millenia of solitude but a half-frozen wizard?
    What could fix a broken, betrayed heart but a huge, bizzare creature?
    It's possible that the direst of circumstances may lead Gale exactly where he needs to be.

    Summary

    After accepting Gale's offer to teach him magic, Astarion learns a thing or two about himself he'd long forgotten. Now he just needs to decide what to do with this information.

     

    Now Gale’s smile did fall, a firm, confused frown taking its place. “You didn’t feel that?”
    “Feel what, darling?”
    “That . . . crackle, in the weave when you casted? You truly didn’t sense the way it clung to you?”
    Astarion rolled his eyes, waving the wizard off.
    “Astarion . . . do you not know you’re a sorcerer?” Gale asked, his frown deepening.

    Summary

    Gale stood a few steps away, looking about at the mouth of the alleyway. Checking for witnesses, the poor little prude. “I believe we’re as alone as can be expected here.” Just a whisper, more to himself than Astarion. Gale paced forward, eyes bright in his face; he stopped an arm length away. Astarion wondered if the man wanted a bit of play, a bit of an attempt at innocence, or if he wanted Astarion to make the first move, to throw himself at his brave, strong savior.

    While he pondered that, Gale spoke. “I must admit, for all my skill in the arcane, all my abilities in my field of magic, I have unfortunately always been somewhat lacking in social graces. For that reason, I’m at a loss on how to bring about this subject with any finesse.” Gale rubbed at his well trimmed beard.

    Luckily, Astarion was very well versed in these particular social graces. Starting in another weak purr, “Oh, my sweet-”

    “You’re a vampire spawn, correct?” Gale asked with his hands clutched behind his back.

    During a night of hunting in Baldur’s Gate, Astarion encounters an archmage with an offer that seems too good to be true.
