Summary
Gale and Astarion are engaged, but Astarion is dodging setting the wedding date. Gale tells Astarion they’re off to a “writer’s retreat”—conveniently omitting that Newleaf is actually Halsin’s group therapy camp for trauma survivors. Cue: summer camp chaos, emotional avoidance, sadboi shenanigans, and an in-progress romance novel that’s getting out of hand. There’s healing, there’s fighting, there’s a lot of sex (like really a lot, almost every chapter, sometimes more than once, lots and lots of emotional smut), and there’s at least one public meltdown.
Note: this is a sequel to Editorial Prerogative and Dedications. Best enjoyed after reading those, but I’ll drop a spoilerrific series summary in the Notes for chaos goblins and anyone who needs a refresher. Set a few months post-Dedications. Mostly canon-compliant. Smut is unskippable and plot-relevant—mind the tags and make good choices. Or don’t. I’m not your mom.
This was written for the Bloodweave Brainweave Discord Server's Gays of Summer 2025 event and hits quite a lot of the event keywords but was mainly inspired by "Summer Camp".
