Summary
“Crikey,” Chrissy Peveril said, barefoot and slightly breathless from hauling the boat up onto the sand. “Not exactly the Riviera, what? No wonder nobody lives here.”
Leo had never been anywhere near the Riviera, but he couldn’t imagine it looked much like this.A tongue-tied academic takes a field trip to a deserted island with a dubious history of human sacrifice. What could possibly go wrong? Well, for starters, one of his fellow campers is hot, and there's Only One Tent...

Summary
Astarion heard Gale swallow thickly and then he could smell it. Lust. Sweet and fragrant. The wizard's gaze flicked down to his mouth.
All at once everything fell into place.
Of course he wouldn't take him to his bedroom and tell him to strip.
The wizard possessed something Cazador had never had: Manners.
He’d chosen a far more subtle approach that left Astarion the comforting illusion of free will. The trap hadn’t been as crude as food and shelter. No, Astarion had been accruing a far less obvious debt. The library card. The suddenly tuned piano. The bottles of bergamot and rosemary oil that had found a way into his bathroom. The glasses. The ring. A debt he had never agreed to, but still it had built.
Anyone could tell what the wizard wanted in payment.Waterdeep will be many things for Astarion. A place to rest. A place to heal. A place to figure out what the fuck he wants to do with his life now.
It will also be a place of endless frustration with a wizard who refuses to collect on his debts and a stranger he can not keep himself from returning to.
Really, who came up with that anonymity spell anyway?- Language:

Summary
After defeating Cazador and releasing the Spawn to the Underdark, Astarion finds himself in the graveyard, waiting for whatever retribution they want to visit upon him after what he did to them.
At the last moment, Gale steps in to save him, only to find the tables turned when he realizes Astarion would have died without a word to them all, and goes to sacrifice himself to the kill the Elder Brain as he should have done all along.
Astarion stops him from making that mistake, and together, they survive saving the world, and find a way forward... together.
