    ◇Ascended Astarion meets a shut-in introvert, two facades clash◇

    “I apologize Lord Astarion, but the summoning spell did work properly, she just so happened to have lived in a different realm from this one, one without magic. I can send her back and recast the spell again if you wish.” The old wizard tried to reassure the elf.

    Stormi sighed quietly in relief, unfortunately her computer didn't get the memo to shut up.

    “Fuck you! And fuck everything you've ever done to me!” Astarion’s own voice rang out over her speakers before she slammed the laptop shut and clutching it to her chest, hoping, praying he didn't think too much of it.

    “No, on second thought I think I'll keep this one.” The elf walked closer to the girl with her laptop, now wide eyed, pale and shaking in fear, she knew who he was and what sort of tendencies he had, could she survive him? Would he send her home after whatever he summoned her for is finished? She already knew the answer, a resounding NO.

    It was a bad day to choose to fight Cazador in Baldur’s Gate 3.

    Summary

    Baronet Dekarios is a man of science, but the supernatural is as much a science as anything else, isn't it? He's also a man in need of a new patron. So, when an old university friend offers entrance to a party held by one of England's most secretive societies — a club of the country's richest men, rumored to dabble in the occult and the satanic — he sees the opportunity to kill two metaphysical birds with one stone. And all he needs to do to gain entry is secure the approval of the club's mysterious leader, the enigmatic Lord Ancunin.

    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

    Stories centered around the journeys of the tiefling warlock Church, who seems intent on upheaving a cynical Astarion’s life of cruel and calculated chicanery. Whether it’s all for the better remains to be seen; but either way, Church isn’t going anywhere anytime soon — and Astarion finds he prefers it that way.

    Summary

    Astarion found himself watching Gale more than he was watching Dirty Dancing. He looked quite young to be getting divorced, he thought to himself. The gossip in him was dying to know the full story, but he knew full well that it would be really stupid to start prying into a practical stranger’s personal life.

    As he was about to ask, because fuck it, he was probably never seeing this man again, Gale reached below his seat and grabbed a notebook and pen from a satchel. A satchel. The man was going on what amounted to a mid life crisis of a holiday (or, to be fairer to him, a third of a life crisis, because he looked to be about Astarion’s age), and he’d brought a satchel?!

    **

    Lawyer Astarion Ancunín had a chance encounter with film professor Gale Dekarios on a flight to New York. And then another chance encounter at a bar. And when he found out he’s in the middle of a messy divorce, well, what was Astarion to do? Aside from sleep with him, which was obviously a given.

    Astarion didn’t believe in love stories. But life had accidentally thrown him into one of his own.

    Summary

    Beauty, tradition, and perfection: these are the pillars of the House of Szarr, a centuries-old perfumery owned by creative director and artist Cazador Szarr and shouldered by its next-to-nobody nose, Astarion Ancunín.

    Overworked, underpaid, and determined to claw his way out, Astarion finds the perfect blend of unusual charm and genius—and the key to toppling the house for good—when he meets chemistry professor Gale Dekarios.

    Or: one perfumer, one professor, one treatise on art, addiction, and the price of ambition.

    Summary

    It was foolish. Undignified. He was a wizard, a scholar, a survivor of cataclysmic fate. He had touched the Weave itself. And yet here he lay, reduced to this - undone by memory, by the ghost of a mouth brushing his skin in the dark, by words never spoken, by letters left unwritten, by the immense and echoing quiet that greeted him in every room he entered alone.

    Or

    An epilogue turned book two.

    Summary

    Astarion Ancunin works hard on his YouTube channel, sometimes spending weeks on the beautiful fashion films that show off his handcrafted gowns. His audience may be small but he's proud of his content. Which is why it's so godsdamned irritating when the self-named 'Wizard Of Waterdeep' starts posting hideous videos of his endless rambling and gets two million subscribers almost overnight.

    Meanwhile, Gale Dekarios is selling his soul to make 'content' (ugh), just to try to get people to love magic again. He hates his channel and he hates himself, so he seeks solace in his favorite corner of the internet: r/galehaters — with his new online BFF, WhiteBat.

    Summary

    In which Tav believes the latest symptom of her grief is the hallucination of her lost love.

    Or, Gale finds himself unexpectedly resurrected.

    ------

    Gods, she hates him. Hates him bitterly for leaving her behind. And Gods, how she loves him, still. Enough to have dragged herself to Waterdeep, as per his wishes. Enough to have let Tara coddle her those first few days. Enough to have sobbed into Morena Dekarios’ waiting arms. Enough to speak to him every evening from the balcony he had promised they would share. Enough to have started reading each of his books, knowing his fingers had touched every page. Enough to imagine all the ways he might’ve reacted to the news of his impending fatherhood. The latter she lingers on more than she would like, for it only gives way to other, saccharine fantasies she knows will never come to fruition.

    Summary

    It’s not fair, Astarion finds himself thinking as he stares intently at Gale’s stupidly elegant hands, the professor gesticulating animatedly while talking about… something or other that Astarion could not bring himself to care about, let alone focus on, that he looks so goddamned hot explaining things.

    Or, Astarion has a thing for his friend and coworker's hands, as well as his overall competence, and things develop from there.
