Summary
Astarion wracked his brain. Surely he would have remembered such a delectable creature at school functions. He imagined the tiny classroom and then it hit him.
The man often lingered near the back, a wallflower amongst the thorns that was the PTO. How hadn't Astarion given him attention before.
Oh, yes. That's right. He was focused on preventing sticky hands from touching him.
A blush blossomed across the man's face. "Well, um, thank you. Usually compliments are directed towards my intelligence, not my appearance."
"What a pity." Astarion waved a hand, dismissing the comment. "Come to me anytime if you're looking to be buttered up, um…"
"Gale. My name's Gale." Gale offered a shy hand, waiting to shake Astarion's and after, pointing at his daughter. "And that's Penelope."
"Astarion, and my…my daughter. Her name is Iris."
-or-
Astarion is suddenly a father after a kid appears at his door and he meets Gale and his daughter at the park.

Summary
When multi platinum Folk rocker, Gale Dekarios steps in to save his band’s stadium tour, Astarion swears he’ll never forgive the intrusion. Gale is everything he resents—polished, industry-made, and tied to a label Astarion despises. But then Gale sings his songs—his lyrics, Astarion is desperate to hear more of his songs in that voice that wraps around the lyrics like they were always meant for him.

Summary
After all these years away from home, Gale still hasn't learned to love his job at Santa's Workshop. It's not that the sun is gone for half the year, he never figured out how to use a computer, and the whole thing is a massive scam. All that's not so bad. If only he weren't forced to deal with the world's rudest elf...

Summary
Gortash takes Gale out of desperation after the group kills Orin.
After two centuries of being taken from, Astarion shouldn't feel surprised. Shouldn't feel a boiling rage between his ribs where his heart used to beat. But he does; he had finally found somewhere, someone, to call his own. And now that was gone too.
Astarion doesn't want to ever go back to having nothing to lose

Summary
The invitation to the ball, however glittery, had clearly been out of politeness or obligation rather than any particular interest in Rolan as a wizard. Of course it had. Rolan should have guessed so from the start.
Well, bollocks to this, and bollocks to the lot of them. Rolan doesn’t need to rub elbows and eat bad canapés to know he’s better at magic than half the people here. Fireballing the party might be concerned impolite, so if he takes the Blackstaff portal back to Baldur’s Gate now, he can be home in time for Lia to save him some dinner.
He chugs the last of the flat wine, places his half-eaten pastry thing on Mordenkainen’s toe, and turns to leave. Which, of course, means he immediately walks into Gale Dekarios.
